[Solved] Creating Visual Studio files with AMBuild 2

Chrisber · **Author**

Hello,

it is possible to generate Visual Studio project files with AMBuild 2?
The wiki page is a bit unclear in this point: https://wiki.alliedmods.net/AMBuild

What do AlliedModders use to generate VS files if it is not possible?

Thanks!

To my knowledge, no. A project generator was mentioned on IRC, but I don't think it's working properly... if it's even completed.

AMBuild 2 supports it, but some recent changes to SM broke compatibility with that feature. The fix isn't trivial so it's still being looked at.

Normally, you can just add --gen=vs to your configure.py launch parameters.

Thanks. Is the broken thing in SourceMod or in the buildtool itself? I want to use it not for SourceMod but for another project which utilizes Source Metamod and and SDK.

As far as I'm aware, it should work fine with most other projects.

If you run into a bug with it, let us know.
