exporting not exporting

Zelta

the autoload is not working in the exported project when exporting it with 'export all resources in the project'
but
it works if exporting with 'export selected scenes/resources (and dependencies)' and selecting all of them

any ideas?

DaveTheCoder

I've always used the default setting "Export all resources in the project", and haven't had that problem.

Does the autoload have some unusual dependency?

Zelta

DaveTheCoder same here, never happened before.... its a simple project, nothing unusual....

Zelta

eventually it exported with all resources selected, so i moved on.

but days ago, since the project is almost ready, i tried to change the game icon

no way to change the game icon. i managed once and then the game always crash when exporting again. no matter what options, embed, rcedti or whatever i choose, there is no way to make it work.

i checked the project many times, deleted and reinstalled the export templates, deleted the godot temp data folder but keeps crashing

at this point, im so frustrated i dont know what to do. i exported plenty of projects this years and never happened this. im not a programmer or a coder, i just make 2d videogames and right now i dont know how fix it

the worst part is, this is my first game going to steam, my store is ready and the launch is in september.

someone, please help

Are you using Godot 3.6-stable?

Have you tried deleting the .import folder?

All I can think of is to create a new, empty project. And then gradually add the nodes, scripts and assets from the problematic project.

Don't copy over generated files such as .tscn, .import or project.godot. That could be where the problem is.

As you're rebuilding the project, frequently test to verify that problems you encountered are gone.

DaveTheCoder i was using 3.5, changed to 3.6 and problem persists.

for some reason its avoiding some files when normal exporting like the main singleton, and of course it crash doing almost everything

i copy pasted the project trying to reimport the whole project, becasue maybe something was imported in a bad way, but problem persists

it works perfectly selecting all files when exporting but damm, id like to find wth is happening there, what could casue thhis annoying thing
