• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

decompile and compiler the SPB file

As you know,the "Simpropcompiler.exe" can compiler the xml to SPB. But,How decompile the spb to XMl ?

Today,i find a tool named "spb2xml.exe" which you can find in google too.

This tool can decompile the SPB to XML..... it is very good.

i try to decompile some files, which are in "E:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Dialogs", from spb to xml.

everyfiles is ok from spb to xml. but when i use the "Simpropcompiler.exe" to compiler those files from xml to spb, i have some problem...

some xml files can compile from xml to spb, but others can't !

i do not why?

for example: in the "Dialogs" folder
gshome.spb can decompile to xml,also can compiler to spb.

but gs.xml cann't compiler to spb after it was decompiled by gs.xml
it is pic:

who can tell me why?
 
First of all I think there's a reason why some files are compiled and some are not. For the default missions you get the source-xml in the SDK. For other missions (payware/freeware) the developer might not want to have the files decompiled. But ok, it looks like that doesn't prevent people from looking into those files...

Anyway, I'm not sure what the dialogs-spb files include, but you should get an error message if you try to compile them back.
 
Hi Folks

AFAIK
Compiled - Need for speed, (static files)
XML - Slow, (editable content).

We don't provide the propXxx.xml files needed for UI development, because there's no publicly exposed way to use our dialog system (and believe me, you don't want to - heck, we don't want to either but they're what we got right now :->). Therefor, the simprop compiler won't recognize any of the UI specific items - I'm kinda suprised even gshome.xml would compile correctly.
