Compiling oxide from source

Same errors with dependencies but different message error.

 

Same problem as it use to be, latest version. (not preview)

[DOUBLEPOST=1508521466][/DOUBLEPOST]

Code:

This bug is being reported all over the place and Microsoft is repeating the same thing: "we don't have enough information". It is clearly a bug in Visual Studio 2017, it's just that there is no sample app to prove it. We have a project in Visual Studio 2015 that compiles and runs fine. Yet, we cannot open the same project in Visual Studio 2017. I have 15.4.1. I upgraded today. We cannot work in Visual Studio 2017 because of this bug

@Wulf, @Frenk92 - any ideas?
Latest version - same issue. But now it tells me that VS has run into a non-fatal error while opening the project.

 

I found a solution. Run a build batch and select only release configuration (select all needed dependencies and Rust). If you get an error of "UnauthorizedAccess", you have to edit a line of "Rust.csproj":

Code:

<Exec Command="powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted $(SolutionDir)Steam.ps1 -project $(AssemblyName) -dotnet $(TargetFramework) -appid $(SteamAppId) -branch $(SteamBranch) -managed $(ManagedDir)" />

in

Code:

<Exec Command="powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass $(SolutionDir)Steam.ps1 -project $(AssemblyName) -dotnet $(TargetFramework) -appid $(SteamAppId) -branch $(SteamBranch) -managed $(ManagedDir)" />

After you have builded the project, reload it to see all the dependencies. If you get some new errors, let me know.

 

I have same kind of problems. I'm running the released MSVC 2017. I can open other MSVC 2015 projects I have in MSVC 2017 without errors.

Using the OxideMod master branch, I get this error when opening it in MSVC 2017:

Code:

And then I get the same "dimensionValuesMap" error as the others. I tried Frenk92's suggestion just now and it didn't fully complete the build...ever. I'll go back I guess and try some more.

UPDATE:
After making the change to rust.proj suggested by Frenk92 (even though I had no access denied message), I was able to start the Rust build but it failed with the errors:

Code:

Severity    Code    Description    Project    File    Line    Suppression State
Error        The system cannot find the file specified.    Rust    C:\GitHub\serverside\Oxide\Games\Oxide.Rust\EXEC    1

Rust    C:\GitHub\serverside\Oxide\Games\Oxide.Rust\Rust.csproj    108  

Something goofy is going on because I've been able to just download OxideMod source month after month and just build it, but this is the first time I've tried since the move to MSVC 2017

 

That's probably a good idea. I saw something like that in the PS script. I'm reading through it to see where the fail is for my side.

UPDATE:
I ran the powershell command outside of MSVC but from within the Oxide.Rust directory:

Code:

Guess maybe I have the wrong PS version? I'm on Server 2012

 

Upgrading to PS5 fixed the depot downloading thing. I still have the 2 MSVC startup errors and it won't build the whole solution by right-clicking. I get

Code:

========== Rebuild All: 0 succeeded, 0 failed, 17 skipped ==========

but if I use the batch build, I can get it to build. Weird.

 

Code:

Error    MSB3073    The command "powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted D:\Games\Rust\Oxide\Steam.ps1 -project Oxide.Rust -dotnet net35 -appid 258550 -branch public -managed RustDedicated_Data\Managed" exited with code 1.    Rust    D:\Games\Rust\Oxide\Games\Oxide.Rust\Rust.csproj    108   

What now?)
Running script outside of the VS says that it COuld not find a .csproj file for Rust...

 

With a batch build everythins compiles, but rust... dafuq is this...
[DOUBLEPOST=1508590584][/DOUBLEPOST]

Then where I should run it from? Rust project folder?
[DOUBLEPOST=1508590692][/DOUBLEPOST]Yep. it's downloading it right now. The problem was simple - i didn't have IE setup correctly =)

 

Finally! Seems that the batch build do the trick.... I have no idea what the problem can be....

Code:

========== Build: 7 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

But if I try to run the usual build solution command....

That's wired as hell....

 

I get the same skipped versions. And if I try to build the entire OxideMod, even as batched, it just hangs on everything but rust. I suspect we need to make the same change to the *.csproj for all games as was made to the Rust one to get it to batch build. We're on a wild ride.

 

Should we be working this as an issue on Github? I don't mind moving the discussion there
