Touch Adaptation Kit Command Line Tool (tak.exe)

Artigo

Use this topic to create and validate touch control layouts by using the Touch Adaptation Kit (TAK).

takxconfig.json and .takx Files

The primary file types that the tak.exe command line tool operates on are the unpacked bundle configuration file (takxconfig.json), or a packaged bundle (.takx) file. Depending on the command being run one of these file types is always usable and represents the entire touch bundle. For backwards compatibility and to make some inner loop scenarios easier, legacy arguments like --layout-path are still supported and will override content from the takxconfig.json

Properties

$schema - string. JSON schema for a touch bundle config file. This should look similar to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microsoft/xbox-game-streaming-tools/main/touch-adaptation-kit/schemas/takxconfig/v1/takxconfig.json depending on the schema version selected.

version - string. Four part (e.g. 1.0.0.0) version number for the bundle.

versionName - string, optional. Descriptive name of the version of the bundle.

layouts - object. Object defining the layouts option for the bundle. The path property within this specifies the relative path where the layouts are located.

assets - object, optional. Object defining the assets option for the bundle. The path property within this specifies the relative path where the assets are located.

context - object, optional. Object defining the context option for the bundle. The path property within this specifies the relative path where the context file is located.

languages - object, optional. Object defining the context option for the bundle. The items property within this is an array that specifies languages supported by the bundle.

Samples

{
  "$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microsoft/xbox-game-streaming-tools/main/touch-adaptation-kit/schemas/takxconfig/v1/takxconfig.json",
  "layouts": {
    "path": "./layouts"
  },
  "assets": {
    "path": "./assets"
  },
  "context": {
    "path": "./context.json"
  },
  "languages": [
    "en",
    "en-US"
  ],
  "version": "2.0.0.0"
}

Please see our GitHub for complete samples using the takxconfig.json file.

Requirements

The version of the file is specified by the $schema attribute in the json file. This specifies the specific set of properties available and enables IntelliSense in some editors.

The properties described above are valid for the latest supported schema version. For older schema properties please see our GitHub.
