A small update, the KromX folder, was renamed to "armorcore", so right when you get to the part where it's "Kromex/make -g direct3d11", just input "armorcore/make -g direct3d11" instead. I hope that helps all you new comers. Remember, it's node armorcore/make -g direct3d11!

My goodness, the first program I managed to get to build properly. Thank you for this. I do have SP2020, I also have 3d-Coat 4.9.57 but wanted to compare this to those 2. Process got a little tricky at 5:31 with the Kromx folder being renamed, the new folder name is call armorcore. This is where the make.js file is along with the V8 folder are now. So anyone following this here are the corrected steps: Instead of doing a node kromx\make -g direct3d11 The command is node armorcore\make -g direct3d11 then cd armorcore and then node kinc/make -g direct3d11 from that the armorcore folder. The build folder will be created in the armorcore folder and on double clicking the SLN file I had to use Visual Studio 2019 for the build. There is no changes required for the rest of the video.

node.js fails to create its own folder structure and generates an error. Manually create the folder that it says it does not "have the rights" to access (a folder it failed to create during installation, because the node.js devs apparently are not very good at maintaining their own project).

[@activemotionpictures]

I can't tremendously THANK YOU for walking us through this, Mike!! Thank you so much! I used VS2019 ran cleanly. Question, after the .exe file is generated, could we delete the other "build - git folders"? we don't need anything else? Also, what's the procedure to keep this updating itself in the solution?

[@rehmanarshad1848]

so you CAN delete the other files. You don't really need them as the "krom" folder has an the executable and everything else you need. However if you want to keep updating this what you can do is go into the console or powershell navigate to the armor paint directory (the folder MUST have a .git file). If you don't see it make sure in file explorer > view > click show hidden files. When your there in powershell/console type the following: $ git pull origin master This command will automatically download and replace all your files with the latest one's on GitHub! Now you need to find the Visual Studio solution file again, and re-compile the program using the steps seen in this video. You will now have a new binary executable file with the most up to date code and newest features + big fixes. Now if you don't wanna keep typing this manually you can create a shell script to automate the process it will automatically check for updates on GitHub every time your machine boots up. However you will still need to compile the newest code in Visual Studio at least once to get a binary executable ready to use each time. If you don't wanna do that pay $16 for ready to use binaries and free updates.

I love your channel bro and I have been following you for a long time, I normally do not comment but I felt the need to share this horror story about armorpaint and armory. I already bought Armorpaint in 2018 because I thought this product would grow to become something amazing by 2020. I was so wrong. After buying the product off of Gumroad intially from Armory site using paypal in the past, I cannot find a way to redownload my purchased product from Gumroad even after logging into my account due to the purchase being more than a year old or something. Turns out the Armory team wanst me to repurchase armory on itch.io because thats where they keep the downloads updated. I repurchased it because I believed that there product would be in a better place than it was in 2018 when I originally purchased it. I was very very wrong. As of right now Armorpaint 0.7 and 0.8 is unusable by anyone due to this texturing program not properly exporting metallic and roughness maps which work with blender 2.8 or any realtime engine, which is complete bullshit. Also, with armory3d engine I have run into problems with html5 game export not working on mobile as advertised on there site. The guy who makes armor just completely deleted armory3d github source code before the current version, so I can't access the previous examples he has on the site which has a working html5 demo which works on mobile which apparently only works with armory legacy versions. I advise people to steer clear of the armory project until these guys get there act together and become more organized and expand the project. Right now it seems like one guy behind the scenes is calling the shots and trying to make a quick buck off of armorpaint. It seems like they are buckling under the pressure of creating such a massive project and product. If armory had proper support by blender and they helped out with development it would be amazing and get better fast but right now Armory will not really be worthwhile untill probably 2022, if it even makes it that far before Blender starts to focus on game engine development. I tried compiling the code on github to see if the download from itch.io was just corrupted or something, but I still ran into issues with Kromx compiling. Armorpaint is not worth it untill their team gets their act together and gets the product to actually work, I feel like i just wasted $21 today and I am starting not to trust their development team, Quixel's new 2020 tools are coming out next week and are free and will make Armorpaint look more trash than it already is. By the way Gamesfromscratch if you are reading this, if you make Quixel Mixer videos ahead of when it completely blows up you will get so many views and traffic on your channel. Thanks for being great.

The only reason I know Quixel 2020 tools are coming out next week is because on the fourms Quixel team said announcement for refund for previous users is coming next week alongside the release.

debug break... Krom.exe!winerror(HRESULT result) Line 19 at C:\temp\armor\armorpaint\armorcore\Kinc\Backends\System\Microsoft\Sources\Kore\SystemMicrosoft.c(19) This is why it aint opening...how do i fix this?

[@GugureSux]

VS2017 is apparently missing some tools necessary to compile the ArmorPaint. I also can't get 2019 to do anything with the file. Might have to start from scratch, and waste more time downloading those C++ stuff. Edit: Got the 2019 to build the thing, but it fails. "C:\armorpaint\Kromx\build\x64\Debug\Krom.exe : fatal error LNK1319: 1006 mismatches detected"

How do you get armorpaint? Can you obtain it without renting to own? Is it able to be used offline? Is it for Blender 2.8? is it easy to install I prefer one click routine don't want to mess with my software.

[@xendercraftx9571]

[@raymondstpaul4913]

@@xendercraftx9571 Yes would like to obtain it!

Runs great on Arch Linux!

[@hellishinc]

And a lot easier to build too.

[@plentynimrod6526]

[@Gerqaog]

Why would they to it like this.... ?

[@abdallaesmat4764]

Hi guys can i run in visual studio 2013

[@gamefromscratch]

I do not believe so. At least not without work.

[@alex-qn5xp]
