Bulk Exporter Needs an SDK Update - Attemted to run Game and can't access specified process

[nalathethird]

Im not sure if this program is maintained, totally fine if not, but I recently wanted to look around at possibly modding this VERY dead game, and or see a few of the games assets and was met with an error in the Profile SDK part of the exporter.

Game affected: PVZBattleforNeighborville
Possible SDK affected: PVZ2SDK.dll

Screenshot of error:

The game is clearly running, it watches for the process/loads and then cant access the specified process.
My guess for the issue here, is that they stopped using EAC and decided to use "EAAntiCheat.GameServiceLauncher", which possibly loads the process in a different way that when it used to over a year+ ago.
Of course, I dont expect a fix here, tho, i might try to fix it myself with my own fork, but Im not great with actual programs, so I might leave it up to a professional instead of just me. lol.

Anyway, if it can be fixed, thanks! If not, game is fully dead and prob cant be revived or archived. :/

and.... is there code for this?
or a fork for me to see where this is from?

[nalathethird]

you joined 2 weeks ago, have no public repos, and gave me a random zip - while INSTANTLY replying to my post.

unless you happened to be watching the repo at the exact same time as me, pretty sure im not going to fall for a random ZIP. thanks.

@nalathethird wtf is going on here, do not open any other zip files other the ones provided in release section, or build from source code.

and.... is there code for this? or a fork for me to see where this is from?

Code is available, just create a fork from this repo at https://github.com/IPdotSetAF/FrostyBulkExporter/fork

@CadeEvs, @wannkunstbeikor can you help with this?

[nalathethird]

@IPdotSetAF yea, no idea what that guy was talking about. i already got in touch with github about them and their gone now.
They basically tried to provide a zip file with a exe and dll in it and im like, uhhhh, yeaaa... no code, no run. thanks.
anyway, yea, just as the post says, its not exactly working right with PVZB4N.

yes, its still open, no i have no idea what to contribute to this error, so i cant exactly help in this case. hence why i opened the issue here.
(I normally work in Unity, Stride, and Unreal engine, so i have NO idea about Frostbite)

[IPdotSetAF]

@nalathethird make sure that PVZB4N is in the list of frosty supported games, otherwise if it IS made with frostbite engine, you can ask other developers at the frosty discord server about it

[nalathethird]

I defo is made with Frosbite, otherwise, I dont think it would be openable in the ripper as an option.

do you by chance have the link to the Frosty Discord?

Otherwise, im kinda stumped on what to do with it...
like I said, the SDK generation failed, so maybe its not a supported game somehow? Apparently is Frostbite 3 engine - if that helps

[IPdotSetAF]

Here is the discord server, there also seems to be a PVZ channel. Hopefully they can help u better.
