Hi,
Just joined this forum after about an hour of testing and searching.
While running "BuildResources.bat" as described in the readme.html file, Tools-x64.exe will "stop working" as Windows describes it. I've tried reinstalling and checking all my versions of the Visual C++ Redists, to no luck. I tried searching the forums here looking for a previous thread, but no luck there as well.
I get to here:
D:\Banished Kit>bin\x64\Tools-x64.exe /build Dialog\Loading.rsc
SRS Toolset version 1.0.6 Build 160521
Compiling 'Dialog\Loading.rsc:resource'
Compiling 'Dialog\Loading.rsc:main'
Compiling 'Dialog\Loading.rsc:fullContent'
Compiling 'Dialog\Loading.rsc:content'
Compiling 'Dialog\Loading.rsc:imageGroup'
Compiling 'Dialog\Loading.rsc:animatedImage'
Compiling 'Dialog\LoadingSpriteSheet.rsc:resource'
Compiling 'Dialog\LoadingSpriteSheetMaterial.rsc:resource'
Compiling 'Material\UI\uiMaterial.rsc:resource'
Compiling 'Material\UI\uiMaterial.rsc:normal'
Compiling 'Material\UI\UI.srsl:Normal_vs'
And then the standard error:
"Tools-x64.exe has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
If I close that and let the batch file continue to run the code, it will continue to violently explode every time it (Tools-x64.exe) is called.
I've tried going to the 1.0.7 modkit with the beta game files and that did not work as well- same error.
At this point, I'm quite frustrated. Did I miss something obvious? I couldn't find anything in the readme.
Is this related to the DirectX SDKs, which will not install on my machine? (Is there a specific version of the DirectX SDKs that I must use?)
Edit: Fixed grammatical errors and typos.
first, try to change your folder name. the tools kit doesnt like any spaces or strange caracters.
and yes you absolutely need direct x sdk.
Hi RedKetchup,
Thanks for your reply. I changed the path to the Banished Kit so that it does not include any spaces or special symbols. I also managed to get the DirectX SDK installed.
It still crashes in the same manner.
@CuroAmarSalus D:\Banished Kit>bin\x64\Tools-x64.exe /build Dialog\Loading.rsc.
The > character should be a \ character in your code.
the > is his DOS prompt :)
did you made a copy of data0.pkg, data1.pkg (and patch0.pkg, patch1.pkg) to your modkit/bin/WinData folder ?
and these datas are from 1.0.6 ? same version of your toolkit ?
if nothing work, i can maybe pm you for a tempary solution that i cant explain here.
I'm having this exact same issue. Ever get to the bottom of it?
can we have some screenshots of your modkit installation,
@DeFrank ?
Here is a treeview of the installation: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6S_4lJSl8WJRkJCcEpxZmxlMlE (https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6S_4lJSl8WJRkJCcEpxZmxlMlE)

Let me know if you need anything else.
hmmmm looks like it probably something about your video/directX
do you have a recent video card ?
is your directX End User installed ? (end user is different than the common one) http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35 (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35)
did you downloaded the other file ? visual studio? http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679 (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679)
When I install DirectX setup the installer says that a newer or equivalent version of DirectX has been installed already. The second link is a 404.
I have a Radeon R7 370 GPU.
you probably have windows 10 ?
download it, download your real one for windows 10. install the lower one and reinstall ontop of it your real one after.
(just to make sure you have everything from the lowest one that maybe hasnt been included with your new one)
Thanks again for your help. Yes, I do have Windows 10.
Not sure what the "it" is you are referring to. The first link (directX) I downloaded and installed. After the installation is when it tells me that I have a newer or equivalent already installed so my only option is to click Finish.
The second link is going to a 404. Do you have an alternate location for it?
seems they dont offer the 2012 anymore :S
they offer a 2015 though
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=52685 (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=52685)
maybe i still have a 2012 somewhere on my PC.....
(about the "it" i referred to the http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35 (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35))
Yeah I downloaded every redist I could find. Looks like I'm stuck. :(

i am very sorry if i cannot help alot further :(
the only thing maybe left is sending an email to the developper with all the trouble infos: support@shiningrocksoftware.com
in hope he answer you fast :-[
if i ask and talk about your Vcard/directX it is because Normal_vs is about graphic coding
did you happended to have rebooted after the installs of DX/VS ?
Sure did. I appreciate your help and I will send an email to support. I'll let you know if we get to the bottom of it.
Thanks again!
Hi I downloaded this 64bit vs 2012 version from the (now 404) link last month
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_ZDmWG7kfP2N0tYQk5nTEctRnc (https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_ZDmWG7kfP2N0tYQk5nTEctRnc)
Installed it but didn't try it out - was going to explore modding but learnt I have an eye op coming shortly, so waiting til after.
Hope its useful, and good luck!
another question.... is it a laptop ?
RedKetchup: No it's a desktop.
Khemari: Thank you I will try it out.
Looks like I already have the 2012 redist installed.
What versions of the mod tools work with the current steam version? (not the beta)
non beta is 1.0.6
the beta now is 1.0.7 beta 3
Just tried the new version posted here: http://www.shiningrocksoftware.com/2017-06-12-1-0-7-beta-version-3/ (http://www.shiningrocksoftware.com/2017-06-12-1-0-7-beta-version-3/)
It works. Thanks for your help! :)
