Actually I'm glad this thread was revived because I have a bit of a problem - I can't duplicate wheels.  When I go through the usual motions of making a skinned copy, I end up with a matter-less wheel.
It's not just invisible, it's intangible - when I put the new wheel on a bot it doesn't move or even ride off the ground like it should.  Help?

Are you using Serges ? or Dummy's?

Dummy's can't do wheels correctly, never has..

I always used Serges old compiler for it.. I assumed the new one could but havent checked..

Ok, so now I have Serge's version.  I repaired Microsoft C++ like he said to, but when I try to decomplie with it, the file comes out blank.  What did I do wrong?

Do you mean it has no file type?

When I open the decompiled file there's nothing there - it's been wiped clean

I had that problem, just forgot what the fix was. Did you add the file extension?

My computer doesn't show file extensions.  I added one to the file before decompiling but it didn't help.  This might be relevant, It flickered something like "Not a valid Binary GMF file" for half a second when I tried to decompile. Also the program itself displays as a DOS application rather than the GUI that Serge showed on the first page. 


The component I'm trying to duplicate is the Slim Wheel, incidentally

1) Open up GMF Decompiler
2) Open File window appears, point it to the binary GMF file
3) Save File window appears, point it to where you want the ascii file to be.
4) ????
5) PROFIT!

Ah, I see where I went wrong.  In steps 2 and 3, I'm accustomed to selecting the same file for both target and destination.  It works fine in Dummy's compiler, but I guess that yours doesn't like that.

Offline JoeBlo

I wouldn't recommend overwriting anyway.. if you screw up something you have to try and fix it again.. if you make a new file every time and something goes wrong you can just jump back to an older file..

massive bump but i have a bit of an issue that needs fixing and i figured it would be easier to post here than making a new thread for it

Using the latest released version of this compiler, it runs and I can select the input file just fine, but when the window pops up for me to select the output file, the program crashes. This is on windows 8 so I'm thinking it has something to do with the OS not playing nice with the program.

Incidentally, did this compiler ever get to the point where it fixed the problem dummy's had with the lu tze drum?
