Dungeon Defenders- Should I upload a simple Interface for compressing/decompressing?
Code:
http://www.360haven.com/forums/showthread.php?9657-Dungeon-Defenders-Compression-Decompression-Interface-%2AFixed%2A
Here's a teaser to show what it would look like (not the coding, the cmd/.exe)
Interface ran without "DD-modding" made or "DunDefHeroes.dun" placed in "DD-modding"

Interface ran with all files in correct places

Loop feature will allow you to continuously decompress and compress, with out relaunching the Interface.
I have added Directory checks, so if you have "DunDefHeroes.dun", or" DD-modding" (folder) in to correct location it would not tell you to move it, or that it has been created.
I have added directory check if you haven't moved "DunDefHeroes.dun" to "DD-modding" it will loop until you move "DunDefHeroes.dun" to "DD-modding"
as well as universal directories for file placement, and the dd.exe (Created By: fairchild [verson 0.3.0b]) embedded, auto file creator for desktop and user friendly interface
(either you could enter "decompress" or "d" to decompress, and "compress" or "c" to compress)
Yes- i have been working on it a bit
FULLY working, but I need a couple people to test it to make sure it works on all alien-ware/windows/mac/what ever lol
that is if the community agree's that it would be beneficial for it to be released, and if it was, where should it be placed... (what section)
I have gotten approval from fairchild to embed dd.exe in my interface, and have decided (with the approval from the community [although minimal]) to release the interface, once I have a few people test it, to make sure it has been coded correctly to operate correctly on most/if not all computers/labtops.

I think the "beginners" should figure it out themselves only way they'll learn to do something without being fed like a baby there are many tutorials already and if u cant follow them u should learn and NOT by begging others to do it for u

I agree plus they should not be modding if they cant follow a simple tutorial watch the poll 500 to 250 500- being LEACHERS

I agree, but that doesn't mean that anyone who does know how to decompress/compress wants to re-type the cmd every time they close it, or the fact that not every one is using a computer that allows them to "copy/paste" in cmd.
Or the fact that the forums are STILL getting flooded with people not knowing how to use DD.exe so I'm just posting a simple .exe, making it some what easier, so we dont need to see those people constantly posting complaints... To be quite frank it gets annoying, in my opinion...
But I will agree that I don't want modding Dungeon Defenders (or any game for that matter) to be as easy as "Borderlands"... saying that I am not even thinking about developing a game save modding program...

Most people that don't know how to mod the game either bug other modders that do, spam post on the forums, or give up... Regardless of what path they take I (personally) am helping a few people here and there that need some help, and people message me alot, and I am getting quite annoyed, on the questions saying... 'Help me start modding, i can't get dd.exe to start'
I usually ignore those questions, but the shear number of messages I am getting regarding dd.exe is getting increasingly large.
Besides I made this out of shear boredom the other day, and have been working on it since I got people over playing Skyrim... NO ONE asked me to make it, and I'll admit it its not much of a change, but it does help.
Ps- I voted yes... I am no leacher.

Re: Dungeon Defenders- Should I upload a simple Interface for compressing/decompressi
im not the best of modders i normally try to find a tool
but idlehands88 and godslams tutorials were so easy to follow that if you cant why
bother modding in the first place
But im one of the majority who have to repeatedly type it into cmd so this would be quicker
do whatever you think is right

Re: Dungeon Defenders- Should I upload a simple Interface for compressing/decompressi
I'm not planning on developing a modding tool for this game, just get rid of the constant "dd.exe is not running... Help please!!!"
and for the people who do have the modding down to an "art" just make it a bit more simplistic. That's all.

The post u said 2 or 3 up about you not being a leach "I never said that". Also if you made it why vote yes just use it for yourself people should type it in if they were smart you could use the same location over and over again unless they cant copy and paste then they just need to improve their typing skills :) repetition is good practice plus personally i dont want RANDOMS most being little kids modding this game all that is probably stopping them is the extracting and re injecting using Fairchild's amazing Resigner
so if you decide to release this which i hope you do not the game will be flooded with people who have mods and they will act all cool and "pardon my language" Badass and be a straight up asshole because they think there top shit.
Well anyway that is my rant make the right decision also for the people who send you messages just block them very easy then you can play in peace.

Why did i vote "yes"- If i weren't willing to releaese this why on earth would i even post a thread asking the community if i should release it.... think about that...:-r
To be quite honest regardless if i release this or not there are more randoms starting to mod dungeon defenders be cause they bug there friends that know how and learn from them.... so realizing that all it would take is someone bugging someone else long enough to tell them how to launch dd.exe...
Besides, if I were to let you use it a couple days I'm pretty sure you would even say it was built well and possible change your view on the subject. its not like the compression toolkit is the hardest part... the actually hex editing is the hardest part to a beginner.
Borderlands became a horrible game when willow tree had EVERYTHING spelled out for them with the simple click of the button (to edit everything about your weapons/characters...)
And you shouldn't be intimidated by randoms that think there "all that" its easy to talk down a random that has no idea what they really did to make the weapons/equipment, and to be honest sometimes enjoyable! Haha

Re: Dungeon Defenders- Should I upload a simple Interface for compressing/decompressi
I think you should because it will allow more people to figure out how to mod this game, thus removing more customers from those filthy whores that think they can get away with selling in-game content for out-of-game content. In fact, I feel like bugging the other users to update their tutorials, or have them link to godslam's tutorial on how to get started. It is very well organized, and he makes it obvious that he knows proper English. There was a post with a couple video tutorials as well, but that guy did a horrible job.
Just remember... the easier it is to mod the game, the less likely people will trade in-game content for out-of-game content. Removing those whores is more important than any other opinions I have seen on this forum so far. It's illegal and ridiculous. In fact, I think you should just drop the poll, edit your first post to have it ready, and add the three links on the bottom of my post.
I am more then willing to walk you all through how to do this on XBox Live any time you see me online. Send me a message and I will reply as soon as I get online. I will even discuss how to do it in a party if you'd like. Modding is fun, and the learning process will be useful in the future.

Pictures of Interface, after steps have been completed Uploaded.

Re: Dungeon Defenders- Should I upload a simple Interface for compressing/decompressi
Decision on the fate of my interface, has been decided
*Sorry for double post, although staggered in time...*
:scared:

Re: Dungeon Defenders- Should I upload a simple Interface for compressing/decompressi
and have decided (with the approval from the community [although minimal]) to release the interface,
Fool the game is going to get destroyed faster then borderlands if u do this u know that right.
People should be able to do this without this easy way out W.E Mission accomplished for demolishing this game
Congrats to you

You don't think they are going to be patching anything with the upcoming DLC weapons/pets/modding patch that is upcoming with in Jan/Feb
I'm not releasing a modding tool that spells out everything, you still need to be able to understand hex coding be smart enough to actually edit save and not freeze on load....
I understand where you are coming from but...
THE GAME IS ALREADY DESTROYED.... Go look at the SOB's selling weapons for Microsoft Points... and the Leaderboards, they are ALREADY ruined. So stop complaining...

Re: Dungeon Defenders- Should I upload a simple Interface for compressing/decompressi
cmd. should be enough? but i know alot of people aren't command prompt savvy.
Great work though. looks like a very user friendly tool!
Thanked!!!

Re: Dungeon Defenders- Should I upload a simple Interface for compressing/decompressi
lol awesome, I saw your prog on timetoown yesterday when I was helping him with teamview. Good job. I still say a windows CP shortcut execution is the easiest way... double click and done.. lol :P
-
Re: Dungeon Defenders- Should I upload a simple Interface for compressing/decompressi
true, but not alot of people can create those shortcuts easily, that's why i made made and release it lol

Re: Dungeon Defenders- Should I upload a simple Interface for compressing/decompressi
here.. for windows users make a text document with notepad and put in:
TITLE DUNGEON DEFENDER SAVE COMPILE
dd.exe -c save.decompressed DunDefHeroes.dun
Then save as a .bat extension.. place all content in the same folder.. double click (or single click depending) your new bat file. and presto... done.
That will run fairchild's tool if you named your decompressed file save.decompressed (obviously change name to what you used)
And for the same thing but to decompress:
TITLE DUNGEON DEFENDER SAVE DECOMPILE
dd.exe -d DunDefHeroes.dun save.decompressed
It's that easy... simply a text document renamed to .bat..
:)

Was there a point to posting this comment? I have the .exe released. And you don't even need to create a .bat file, just follow the instructions in the .exe
Its not smart telling people to create .bat files if they don't know how to do it before hand, you can screw up your computer/labtop if you input the wrong commands.
You also left out some key steps for the .bat to work correctly, or even be saved as a .bat correctly.

It works just fine. I use that same .bat and rename the *.decompressed file info whenever needed.

Yes of course or I wouldn't have posted the information.

There's multiple fallacies in that statement including a hasty generalization, slothful induction, exclusion, and conflicting conditions.
It's perfectly considerate and opposite of "not smart" to explain the generally very simple procedure to make a .bat command for windows users.
And if someone doesn't know how to make a .bat, the information I shared will teach them how to make a .bat
As far as screwing up a windows PC with a .bat file, the command line info I left does not do that.. in fact there is less risk in a .bat than an .exe based on the fact anyone can see the code being executed in a .bat but not always in a .exe container.
As far as the "wrong commands" you are alluding to, it would be helpful when making an argument to share what those commands are so people could be informed on what to be cautious of.
And finally, the manner in which you have been rebutting my posts is both inappropriate and inadequate. Whatever your issue with me is, I would ask that you would let it go. I don't have a quarrel with you and never did other than when you threatened me to not release the reverse codes. I let that go a while ago. And whatever offense you have against me, I'd ask that you'd let that go too. :) Much luv sent your way. <3
