Hard time to find exe in game folder for players #1947
Comments
Should the players really be looking around in the game folder for the .exe anyway? |
in itch.io yes since he is downlowding the exe not using a launcher like steam |
I was going to suggest |
@Doprez I was able to publish a Stride game fully self contained, single file, with VCRedist included, compiled from GitHub actions pipeline - see the tree here: |
I would prefer if Stride, by default on publish, moved all its DLLs to a The last part (the executable knows where to look for the DLLs) is already done I think. @tebjan Did you not make a PR some time ago for this? But I think this should be done only for |
The old school non-code way to do it is to put you code folder inside another folder, and in that outer folder, just have a shortcut to the .exe file. |
I recommend checking out this project. It has been actively maintained for many years now. I'm not sure if Stride will work with it. I might give it a test when I'm not so busy and we can create any follow up bugs if Stride is not compatible with NetBeauty2. But ultimately, it's probably not something that Stride should try and impose on the user. The moving of DLLs can create some incompatibilities with native libraries that expect certain DLLs to be in a certain place; which could result in a lot of bug reports from users directed at Stride. If NetBeauty2 is something Stride wants to recommend for this use case, we can include NetBeauty2 in the tests. |
I think this could even be useful as a separate repo to demo this as an external feature. We could add it to the docs as a tutorial on how to add it to a Stride project (assuming it doesnt break any references). |
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
the problem is the big amount of dll that if i release my game in itch as a zip the player will need to scroll and it's hard to find the exe
Describe the solution you'd like
compress the dlls to one dll or 5 or by category because there is too much
