Hey- not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but the output on the linux version appears to be missing the launcher.

Double check that the bootstrap is inside the tool's folder -> Bootstrap -> linux. If it isn't and you are on the latest version, let me know and I'll send you a copy of it

Downloaded the latest from ~4 hours ago and the loader was included, but it's now saying that the manifest file is missing. I'll try it again shortly.

started with a fresh download and a new export, all default options in the cooktool, and I'm still getting:

"Failed to load extension from: . Manifest file is missing or unreadable"

v8.zip

That error seems like it was coming from a malformed package.json file. Could you please check if the game's package.json has any issues on it? You'll be able to see it clearly with a code editor like Visual Studio Code.

You could be right, though it appears to be something to do with the cooktool altering the original. 

Both versions load fine in vscode, but the post-build version is all on one line and has additional info from your "Customization" section.

Before:

{

   "name": "rmmz-game",

   "main": "index.html",

   "chromium-args": "--force-color-profile=srgb --disable-devtools",

   "window": {

      "title": "Merauders",

      "width": 1280,

      "height": 720,

      "position": "center",

      "icon": "icon/icon.png"

   }

}


After:

{

   "name": "rmmz-game",

   "app_name": "My New Game",

   "version": "1.0.0.0",

   "main": "index.html",

   "chromium-args": "--force-color-profile=srgb --disable-devtools",

   "background": false,

   "js-flags": "--expose-gc",

   "nodejs": true,

   "window": {

      "width": 1280,

      "height": 720,

      "icon": "icon/icon.png",

      "id": "",

      "min_width": 0,

      "min_height": 0,

      "title": "Merauders",

      "resizable": true,

      "fullscreen": false,

      "kiosk": false,

      "position": "center"

   }

}

From what I can see, they are correct. I don't see anything that would trigger a malformed manifest error.

A similar error that I noticed (and now fixed) is that the bootstrap would attempt to load the FileCatalog.sbfc when it's the first time that the game boots. So, if you have strict cache checking on or disabled the option to clear the cache when the game closes, check out the update.

If not, feel free to send me a build of the game so I can diagnose it.

Thanks, I'm using all the default settings so haven't disabled clearing the cache or enabled strict integrity checking.

Testing the new version now though and will report back!

New version seemed to have solved it!

Thanks so much for the efforts!
