EASIER WAY | How to Convert Scratch 3 Projects To .EXE Files (.sb3 to .exe)

[@McVincient]

HEY GUYS! I've put a new link in the description as the old one isn't working! Check the working link from the Description! 😁 Also, If you guys are facing 'FOLDER COPY ERROR' just name the .sb3 file to 'index' and do the 'save apps' in an empty folder!

[@KronerAnimejszyns]

Its no have virus?

[@McVincient]

@@KronerAnimejszyns no it doesn’t have any virus

[@creepersaur]

I did this but it didn't work? It is named index.sb3 and the folder is named game with nothing in it, any way to fix?

[@McVincient]

@@creepersaur I don't have any other fix unfortunately. Maybe you have something in your game which is not supported.

[@creepersaur]

@@McVincient huh, does it need to be a different file type because currently it is named 'Index.sb3' I don't know if I needed to make it html or something.

[@darkstar2636]

Just noticed that this was posted 5 days ago, Great tutorial btw

[@McVincient]

Awesome, thank you!

[@GreenCreepsSnoosh]

it worked! thank you sooooo much i was trying my best to make my game an app!

[@McVincient]

Nice!

[@samwozniak1875]

Heyo! Love the guide! When I go to extract the converter, it shows up as a ZIP Archive File instead and doesn't get accessed by Javascript, do you know what might be causing this? Thanks!

[@McVincient]

extract that zip archive file and you'll get a converter.jar file. That runs in java.

[@YourBuddyJay]

@@McVincient I did that, but the files are just CLASS files.

[@McVincient]

@@YourBuddyJay Actually you can pack the projects but for now, this tutorial wasn't on packing but just being able to play them in an application file

[@luigipunchanimation6745]

I have some problems so 1 every time it loads the game its fine at first so i click full screen and some of the sprites dont load and the layering is weird and 2 this is a bit weird but the timing is a way quicker like i make a a script with wait 1 second and then convert to exe then i open the exe and 1 second is halved to 0.5 seconds is there a way to have better timimings when i convert it?

[@McVincient]

Try method 1, coz I don’t know fix to these. Actually you can cap it to 30FPS to fix time problem I think.

[@luigipunchanimation6745]

@@McVincient how do you change it to 30FPS?

Hey McVicent good tutorial tho. I had a question can you tell me can we delete the other files (Example electronlinux, electronmac, electron32)?????????

[@McVincient]

Yes. They are useless. Just keep the one that your computer supports!

[@azertyzhd9610]

hi, my converter cant seem to open cuz its somehow locked by winrar. DO you know what to do?

[@McVincient]

Problem is with WinRAR, not converter. Try doing something to WinRAR.

[@azertyzhd9610]

@@McVincient Ok, I will try that!

[@ojassabadra18.7]

when i extract the files the converter gets extracted in a zip file and when I extract that there is no program

[@McVincient]

Use WinRAR & extract it using it!

[@zachmann2911]

does it still work if you drag the folder Electron[insert OS type here][insert bit here] (folder example of what I'm talking about: ElectronWindows64) and replace it with the electron file in the zip folder?

[@McVincient]

I didn't understand what you are saying. Replacing a folder with file?

[@ALCIGOD]

I have a question, how can I give it a fps limiter? since my pc goes to many frames and annoying for my type of game, can I put a fps limiter? (other than rivatuner because I want to publish the game and people would have to install rivatuner to play my game)

[@McVincient]

To Do That, You've to watch the method #1, because in that, you can customize it as a HTML File, which has an option called 'compatibility mode' and also it has a box where you can input what FPS you want to run your game with. Here's the link to that video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZvPaIWfjq18obc

Hi, thanks for the video but when I press "Save apps" it knocks out an error: Folder copy error I didn't create this on old Scratch versions, so... I don't now what to do!

[@McVincient]

It did work with me. Maybe Click on the game screen for 2-3 times so it's active window. Try a few times and tell me if it doesn't work!

[@LightmareShadow]

Does it also work with Snap files? (Snap is a Scratch like software who is compatible with scratch files and works exactly like it but in 60 fps, a ton more coding options but terrible art tools).

[@McVincient]

I actually don't know exactly how to do that but I don't remember if Snap made scratch 1.4 or 2. I think If it made scratch 2, then this method should work! (I'm not sure)

[@LightmareShadow]

@@McVincient dunno which one is it based on but it is compatible with 1.4, 2.0 and 3.0 versions of Scratch I think.

[@McVincient]

@@LightmareShadow Hmm.. I know it isn't compatible with Scratch 3.0 as Scratch 3 is different.

[@LightmareShadow]

@@McVincient Snap isn't or the software you presented in the video isn't?

@@LightmareShadow I presented Scratch 3, not snap. Snap is an engine used to make scratch editors till scratch 2. I think they've made scratch 3 in java and not snap.
