I am trying to create a console app on network version 5.0 using visual studio. The purpose is to read all the PNG files in a directory, and make a JSON file with the code:
{
"format_version": "1.16.100",
"minecraft:texture_set": {
"color": "*Filename*",
"metalness_emissive_roughness": "*Filename_mer*"
}
}
In it. And yes this is for Minecraft. The filename and the filename_mer are automatically filled in by code, but that isn't my issue.
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("Goto " + Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData) + "\\Packages\\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\\LocalState\\games\\com.mojang\\resource_packs" + " And find the resource pack you want to generate files into");
string pathname = Console.ReadLine();
#region Message
Console.WriteLine();
Console.WriteLine("Looking for folder...");
#endregion
string path = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData) + "\\Packages\\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\\LocalState\\games\\com.mojang\\resource_packs\\" + pathname + "\\textures";
#region Message
Console.WriteLine();
Console.WriteLine("Folder found in");
Console.WriteLine(path);
#endregion
string[] directories = Directory.GetDirectories(path);
foreach (string paths in directories)
{
string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(paths);
foreach (string file in files)
{
string filenameWithType = file.Substring(file.LastIndexOf("\\") + 1);
string filename = filenameWithType.Substring(0, filenameWithType.LastIndexOf("."));
string thisPath = file.Substring(0, file.LastIndexOf("\\"));
if (filenameWithType.Substring(filenameWithType.LastIndexOf(".") + 1) == "png")
{
string newPath = thisPath + "\\" + filename + ".texture_set.json";
File.Create(newPath);
List<string> codeInFile = new List<string>();
codeInFile.Clear();
codeInFile.Add("{");
codeInFile.Add("\"format_version\": \"1.16.100\",");
codeInFile.Add("\"minecraft:texture_set\": {");
codeInFile.Add("\"color\": \"" + filename + "\",");
codeInFile.Add("\"metalness_emissive_roughness\": \"" + filename + "_mer\"");
codeInFile.Add("}");
codeInFile.Add("}");
TextWriter tw = new StreamWriter(newPath, false);
foreach (string line in codeInFile)
{
tw.WriteLine(line);
Console.WriteLine(line);
}
tw.Close();
string newPathtxt = thisPath + "\\" + filename + "_mer.png";
Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(file);
using (Bitmap b = new Bitmap(bitmap.Width, bitmap.Height))
{
using (Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(b))
{
g.Clear(Color.Green);
}
b.Save(newPathtxt, ImageFormat.Png);
}
}
}
}
#region Message
Console.WriteLine("");
Console.WriteLine("All done, Your good to go!");

Console.Read();
}
This is all my code, on the file. It reads a directory which you enter, looks through the textures file, and for each PNG file in there it creates a JSON file with the code specified earlier. Although when run the code gives me this error.
System.IO.IOException: 'The process cannot access the file 'C:\Users\https\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\games\com.mojang\resource_packs\Vanilla_Resource_Pack_1.17.10\textures\blocks\acacia_trapdoor.texture_set.json' because it is being used by another process.'
I cannot find any answers which fit my issue, I would appreciate any help.
This is a Minecraft Bedrock edition resource pack btw, not sure if that helps.
Don't do this File.Create(newPath); or rethink your problem. It looks like a typo.
In short File.Create(newPath) is creating a FileStream and discarding it, leaving the file open and with a share lock. If you are trying to pre-create the file, at least use the using statement:
using (File.Create(newPath));
or Close
File.Create(newPath).Close();
or
File.WriteAllText(newPath, String.Empty);
or
File.WriteAllBytes(newPath, Array.Empty<byte>());
If you are just trying to create or overwrite the file StreamWriter(newPath, false) is good enough.
