Electron App Packager
A downloadable tool for Windows, macOS, and Linux
this is for when you run out of free exports in gdevelop or just building an app for PC
so far only exports to windows, but I will update it later to export to the rest of the operating systems
how to use if using the Electron Packager Online:
export to manual build in gdevelop for
just place the .exe in your exported games folder
run it with internet connection, it will open a console
type the name that you want your app/game to be called then press enter and it will create the executable in the dist folder
if you do not have node.js, go into the installer folder and run the installer
it is needed to package the app
how to use for the windows macOS and linux version:
export to manual build in gdevelop
then open the application and fill in the path to your export folder(make sure there is a \ on the end of the path)
then type in the name that you want the app to be called
and select the operating system
the app will pause and may freeze, just wait a bit and it will unpause and finished building in the dist folder
also you need node.js for this as well
installer included
if there is a bug or anything else, comment and I'll see it
;)
requirements:
BOTH versions must have internet connection for the command line building it does
and also node.js to be installed
changelog:
added some stuff for when the commands fail, to prevent errors an automatic exit
there is a mac version, you just so far cannot export to macOS(its bugs out)
