MakeGameData

MakeGameData is a command line tool that allows for conversion of Source game files from PC to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 equivalents. A version of this tool is available in the Dino D-Day SDK.

MakeGameData requires a very specific setup to work correctly. To setup MakeGameData, create a folder anywhere on your computer called "game". Then, copy the "bin" folder from Dino D-Day into "game". Then you can copy your desired game's subfolder into this game folder (for instance, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive's folder is called "csgo") and run the MakeGameData from that folder from the command line with your options selected, for example:

..\bin\makegamedata.exe *.* -r -z zip0.360.zip

The above command will compile any loose files (no VPKs) into their Xbox 360 equivalents, and put them into a specialized .zip format (except maps, which stay in the maps folder). It will search any subfolders for convertable assets and it will preserve this layout inside the ZIP. Note that games can have up to 100 ZIP folders (zip0.360.zip all the way to zip99.360.zip).
