UCC Helper - A Compiler Tool with GUI

Post by eGo »

Ok...if you hate batch files and hate working with cmd to compile UnrealScript....here is "the" tool for you.

This is a very early release of a tool I wrote for myself to compile UnrealScript without using batch files and cmd. You can compile your scripts with one or two clicks max. You got listed compiler errors/warnings in same window. Arranging the packages in list is a lot of fun feature. It helps you if you have unrecognized type errors if your script needs objects from other packages loaded after yours. You can add new or existing packages and edit secret properties, only used by uc pro's ;)

Add your games of your choice and compile your scripts faster than other compiler tools.

Let me know your experience, comments and write your suggestions for new features etc. This tool is full working but it may contain bugs. Be warned...everything you do is at your own risk. ;)

What you get:
* visual list of EditPackages
* arrange the packages in list
* add or remove packages
* change package properties
* compile selected packages
* add and select your games for faster compiling
* view compiling errors/warnings or log file after compiling packages

Compact View:

Enhanced View:

Supports many games:

v1.0 (Build: 1.0.0.29 - 07/06/14)

This looks great tool. I like the GUI, much User Friendly.

Also I found something strange when try to compile a package

@Rocky
Params is a place holder for the commandline switches of ucc.
What did you do? Explain it so I can reproduce it.

Nothing I just grabbed the Setup file, you posted in your 1st post and installed it.
Then I gave the Path to the Game Directory i.e C:\UnrealTournament or is it C:\UnrealTournament\System?? And also gave path to .ini file.
And gave the Game name as "Unreal Tournament"

Then I added/imported one of my Custom Unreal Package.
The only strange thing I found is nothing written in that Dialog Box when I click on Compile button.
Rest things like Error Window, Logs Window works excellent.

How about would it also compile using other unreal patches (like v451, v451b, v436, etc.)? I just thought it might be easier because installing 2 different patches on the same computer, hate having to go back and forth changing the directory line. Just a suggestion.

@Rocky
Found the issue in the installation script.

Meanwhile move ucch.int & ucch.det from "D:\ProgramFiles\Ucc Helper\Language" to "D:\ProgramFiles\Ucc Helper" to fix this.

Thanks

Updated installer is ready for download.

Can I have a download optional flag on the package and have it save the setting for each time I compile that particular package. UMake doesn't have pkg flags, does it do everything else UMake does? Thanks

right click on your package and choose properties in popup menu. this creates a package.upkg file in classes folder with your flags.

billybill wrote:Well this is nothing like UMake. The projects don't each have their own make.ini (GameINI file) which in UMake is located in project's directory. All I'm seeing so far is a graphical interface for the ucc compile command

Also, kinda buggy so far... I went find games and got one of those blank message boxes like the one posted above. Only game found was non-existent c:/UnrealTournament/. I do have an e:/UnrealTournament/. I added it manually, you could add some better intelligence to it so I don't keep getting the "list index out of bounds (1)" messages. Like, tell me where the error is, or auto detect the ini file

The Packages list keeps doing weird stuff when I click it, like double-up filenames or text over the top of other text. Maybe have it refresh the whole list when changes are made or something like that

I haven't been able to get a good config to compile anything because of that last problem, look forward to seeing whatever you come up with anyway. I wouldn't put it up there with MonkeyBuild or UMake just yet

Oh got the same blank error message when I clicked Exit. haha. Well sounds like I may have some missing libraries or something

before posting anything read the whole thread that answers some of your issues. this is not umake or monkeybuild. if you want i can steal all the individual functions from other tools to build the uber tool :/
