In July '15 I lost my install of FC 3; along with my Frankenmod compilation and the Dunia 2 115 toolset I was using.
I reinstalled FC 3 yesterday, DLed a copy of the most recent Dunia 2 tool set (R179_116) from svn.gib.me.builds.dunia2. I grabbed copy of the 30 days Mod from the Nexus, along with Ziggy's, Mega Island, and Easy Start mods ( I fold bits of the last 3 into the 30 days mod and do a bunch of stat edits to create my Frankenmod).
I installed the 30 Day's mod patch.dat & .fats in the FC 3 win 32 folder, as well as the associated FC3.dll & FC3d3d11.dll in the FC3 bin folder. Fired up FC 3; it runs fine with the vanilla 30 Days mod installed.
I unpacked the 30 Days mod patch.dat; edited the folder and file names, then went to the generated folder and ran the entitylibrary.fcb through the the tool set's CBO.exe; creating an entitylibrary folder and entitylibrary.xml (deleting the _converted from both of them, of course), then deleted the entitylibrary.fcb.
I got into the weapon files, made my test edits to the 1911; saved the changes, went back to the entitylibrary folder and ran the entitylibrary.xml in the CBO.exe tool (exactly the way I did it for all previous FC 3 tweaks)..............only instead of generating a entitylibrary.lib file (that I used to rename to .fcb; prior to repacking the now modded patch folder) I got the error message below:
After reading the error message in the black portion of the window; I opened the @library file it refers to (lower L in image) and can not figure out what error in the @library file the error message is referring to. Any ideas??
Also, in my new version of the 179_116 tool set I noticed a CovertXml.exe tool right next to the CBO.exe tool. So I though; OK, I'm trying to convert the entitylibrary.xml file into a entirylibrary.lib/fcb file so let's give this a try. It ran fine; but converted the entitylibrary.xml into an .rml format instead of the .lib format like it used to?? I renamed the entitylibrary.rml to.fcb; then repacked the patch folder with the pack tool. It worked fine, and generated new 30 Day's patch.dat & .fat files. I dropped them into the FC 3 win 32 folder; the game started and almost loaded; CTDing----telling me FC 3 has stopped working? Bleepity bleep bleep!!!
So which one of the 116 tools should I be using to convert my entitylibrary.xml? The CBO.exe, or the CX.exe?
BTW: If any of you have an old copy of the r179_115 tool set from 2 or 3 years ago....................you'd be my hero; if I could get a copy from you. TY!
PS: I'm mindful FC 3, the mods from Nexus, nor the 116 tool set were coded to work in Win 10 64 bit...............gotta wonder if that's not part of the problem too! Gggggrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!
