In case of error, report me back on this thread or send me an email with the log registered by the application.
Will there be a tutorial? This tool; while very useful seeming, makes S3PE which was awful for me to get used to look positively user friendly.
I have a basic idea.. (edit script-pattern file then click s3sr) .. But a little enlightenment on how the edit should look would be nice. Maybe a screenshot?
A "tutorial" is basically what's already in this post.
The (*.s3sr) file is a plain-text file encrypted in ASCII.
I am currently looking for people willing to create scripts with it.
Its purpose it to exactly make the processing through game packages easily.
In case of a structure change in the resource (OBJD/CASP), which happens sometimes by the developers.
This tool exists for that, as it will extract from the user own game files.
Well, when people start developing their own scripts you will get the idea how they work.
There's a "test" script on the source file, on the readme directory, you can take a look at it.
Update: v0.0.9.27 Available
(I apologize for the delay! ~ I shared what I created already earlier now. (I'm going to the doctor = I hope for it everything will be fine) ~ And I write to You on a weekend:))
Downloaded, extracted, ran once to enter the alternative folder for the store stuff, downloaded scripts to alter catalog categorizations but it gives me en error when running double clicking the scripts:
"Exception @ "UGFyc2VTY3JpcHQuY3M= 139";
System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath)
System.IO.Directory.InternalGetFileDirectoryNames(String path, String userPathOriginal, String searchPattern, Boolean includeFiles, Boolean includeDirs, SearchOption searchOption)
System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(String path)
s3sr.ParseScript.Start(String[] path_Scripts)"
Is it doing this because my computer isn't in english? (My documents folder doesn't exist under that name) *confused*
Thanks for the error log, there will be a new version soon, will recommend you to test when available, so that you can see if it persists.
It could be problem of the language, I've seen many applications to have problems regarding characters not being into the default ASCII, but in Unicode/UTF-8. What language is it exactly?
My system language is French. "My Documents" is "Mes Documents" and "Administrator" is "Administrateur". What is odd is that there is no special characters or accents in the filepaths but I don't see what else could be the reason since the filepaths are set correctly and I didn't get any errors regarding NET framework or whatever other component.
I'll wait for an update, thanks for answering.
Thanks. I see. The log error doesn't store he exception message itself, you happen to remember the path it was shown?
Sorry for the delay ^^
Here's the full error log: (I replaced the computer name with XXX)
Exception @ "UGFyc2VTY3JpcHQuY3M= 139";
System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Impossible de trouver une partie du chemin d'accès 'C:\Documents and Settings\Administrateur.XXX.000\Mes documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\DCCache'.
à System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath)
à System.IO.Directory.InternalGetFileDirectoryNames(String path, String userPathOriginal, String searchPattern, Boolean includeFiles, Boolean includeDirs, SearchOption searchOption)
à System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(String path, String searchPattern, SearchOption searchOption)
à System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(String path)
à s3sr.ParseScript.Start(String[] path_Scripts)
Maybe the program doesn't like the DCCache forlder set up for the store stuff? I have store stuff both in the DCCache (installed with the launcher, like worlds) AND in package form in mods so I've set up the DCCache as the main filepath for store stuff and the \Mods\Packages\EAStore as an alternate filepath. The output filepath is set to C:\Documents and Settings\Administrateur.XXX.000\Bureau\test
Well, I hope it helps.
Thank you for your log, it helps a lot.
The problem in here is that I direct the program to lookup the default english directory.
And as you have a different system language the path would be different.
French would actually be "Documents\Electronic Arts\Les Sims 3"
Is that correct? If so, the next update shall fix this issue with French system language.
No it's "Mes documents\Electronic Arts\Les Sims 3"
(C:\Documents and Settings\Administrateur.XXX.000\Mes documents\Electronic Arts)
Yes, it's odd that the French My documents fullpath mixes English and French at the same time, windows always did that. I never understood why, probably to make everyone confused lol
Looking forward for the next update!
Oops didn't paste the last part of the fullpath; my bad ^^
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrateur.XXX.000\Mes documents\Electronic Arts\Les Sims 3
Update: v0.0.9.3012 Available
It now works for French OS! YAY! Thank you for this tool, I can now correct some store stuff that were installed with the launcher.
Oh, I am glad that issue is now solved.
Thank you for your report.
Update: v0.0.9.3083 Available
I'm trying to use this tool, but everytime I double click the excutable file I get this error log:
Exception @ "U2V0dGluZ3MuY3M= 123";
System.NullReferenceException: Referencia a objeto no establecida como instancia de un objeto.
en s3sr.Settings.Read(Boolean forceFirstRun)
Double clicking a s3sr script will also result in the same error log. At first I thought it was due to Generatiosn, but now that it is updated I cannot see what's the problem.
Sims MX, perhaps the application doesn't have rights to access the registry.
Try right-click the executable and click "Run as administrator".
I tried running the application as administrator. The error logs keep appearing, but I managed to get the [BASE]-tagged scripts to work. Expansion packs and stuff packs are not detected by the application and running a script that has content for those packs will not generate a .package file.
Also when running [STORE]-tagged scripts I get different error logs. When I'm asked if I want to backup and I say yes, I get this: "Exception @ 'UGFyc2VTY3JpcHQuY3M= 139';" when I say no, I get "Exception @ 'UGFyc2VTY3JpcHQuY3M= 379';" I changed the Store's location from "DCCache" to "DCBackup" with no results.
Well that first error lies that the application can't read the installation setup directories from the registry.
I could write an application to show your current registry roots, but that can lead that it may not work reading the registry as well.
So, I would ask you to go to your registry to the following key:
64-bit: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Sims]
32-bit: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Sims]
Export it and if you could please send me the .reg file;
There only lies info I can see if your setup is different than the default (french was, and had to fix);
Just in case, check if you are running last s3sr build, as well to have .NET Framework 3.5 or latest hotfix/build.
I've sent you the key.
I tried to write my own script (I changed buymode categories of some objects). It works fine for all objects except from Generations (EP04). My game is in German, if that matters (so the path for this EP is C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Die Sims 3 Lebensfreude), and I defined the right paths for every EP in s3cr.
Is it a problem in the program or am I doing something wrong?
Thank you in advance!
Killc*a, I did fixed that issue, but it isn't present in this last build, which is why the tool does not parse the script with EP04.
I did not had time to work on my projects this week, but I hope I can get this last build uploaded this weekend.
Thank you! I will wait for the next version.
Update: v0.0.9.3089 Available
It works for EP04 stuff now. Thank you!
But I ran into another problem. I want to recategorie some store stuff (officially bought and installed via the launcher). I checked "Decrypt Store Files" and I get this error message when I run my script file:
Exception @ "UGFyc2VTY3JpcHQuY3M= #006";
System.IO.IOException: Die Datei "C:\Users\(my username)\AppData\Local\Temp\tmpEDD9.tmp" ist bereits vorhanden.
bei System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath)
bei System.IO.File.InternalCopy(String sourceFileName, String destFileName, Boolean overwrite)
bei System.IO.File.Copy(String sourceFileName, String destFileName)
bei s3sr.ParseScript.Start(String[] path_Scripts)
(The first sentence means that the file already exists.)
Thank you, Killc*a, you and Sims MX have both the same issue.
I will investigate that, though I know the problem already, so I will be implementing a fix as soon as possible when I get on working on the tool.
Update: v0.0.9.3092 Available
Just downloaded it and when I click on the file to install I get the message s3sr has stopped functionning, in French of course.
And I wanted to say I can't open your page with IE9.it opens but it is impossible to scroll, and I can't close the page, or do anything with the other pages I have opened. I have to forceclose the process, which gets as high as 190000k.
Chrome lets me scroll, but as if it was paddling in molasses.
Indiasong, does it show any warning/error before the crash?
Perhaps you should try to run it as Administrator;
As for my page, I would say my blog is too heavy for applications that pretend to work as browsers (IE)~ :P
But yeah, I need to fix my CSS abuse (CSS addicted here)!
Hi Anach,
Great tool, been a tremendous help to me thus far.
Just wondering if there is a way to utilise the "UISortPriority" field in the OBJD resource? I see that field isn't listed in the valid attribute list, but I didn't know if there was some way for me to add it or if it's something you would have to do when/if you update.
This would enable you to change the UISortPriority from 0x00000000 to say 0x00005000 on multiple files thus making them all show up at the end of the catalogue listing, instead of having to do them one by one (not fun!). It's another good way to get your cc organised.
Just wanted to check since I'm not an avid programmer, but sometimes I can figure things out if I know where to look to make changes.
Appreciate any input, and thanks again for what you've accomplished so far. After successfully manually merging a stubborn object into the main launcher .dbc files and getting it to work as if the launcher had actually installed it has given me the desire to learn new things.
Hi again
First, sorry for calling you Anach on previous post, was reading another forum post and spazzed.
Second, I actually managed to add the UISortPriority to the source files by fiddling around, and it works! So no need to even bother with my other post above.
My new question:
If you have like 50 files in your STORE folder and want to make the same change to all of them as a batch, is there any way to do this without having to list each item separately in the script file? I guess like using a "wildcard" in the Instance value so that it makes changes to everything in the folder?
Amanda, sorry for late reply.
The "UISortPriority" field will be in the next build.
As for your question, that is possible, yes.
I think that would be a great feature for this tool, as it fits its purpose to batch operations.
It will implemented in the build as well.
No worries on reply delay. Gave me time to fiddle and learn things for myself, which is good right?
I actually managed to write a small program that creates the script file for me. It's kinda primitive, but it works ok, so for now I'm making a master script that contains every item in the game with my preferred settings. If I ever want to make a change, I just find the InstID in the master script and edit whichever field I choose for a particular item.
On a back burner, I noticed there are quite a few items that I normally change so that I can use them in CAW. If, however, the items happen to be CommonBlock Version C, the "isplaceableonroof" and "isvisibleinworldbuilder" fields will not be available unless you first use s3pe to change to either Version D (roof) or Version E (worldbuilder), and your prog will error out if you try to edit the "isvisibleinworldbuilder" flag on something below version E. You're probably already aware, just wanted to make mention.
Anyway, looking forward to updates. I am really, really enjoying working with this. The hardest part is actually trying to decide "HOW" to group all of this stuff...is it a flower?...is it a sculpture?...is it part of a set?...brain collapse...
Take care!
Amanda
I'm so looking forward to the update version. I'm making OBJD for my wrong-categoried CC and google led me here. What Amanda said is really intriguing, imagine I have different folders for Plants, Mirrors, Display...then I only have to run the a specified script for each folder..:D Is it really possible?
Could you please update it for Pets? I can't choose a path for EP5.
Hi #aWT. Thank you for this awesome Tool. I have used it for my Custom Food Script:

aWT, will you update the file to support the latest expansion packs? I downloaded the latest version and it only supports packs older than Town Life Stuff.
