Pack Command

The pack command is used to package the layouts into a touch adaptation bundle (takx). This bundle is available for local testing via the serve command, or submitted by your Microsoft Account Representative for users via XBOX Game Streaming. The following table shows the different options that are available for use with the pack command.

Options	Description
`--layout-path <layout-path>`	Path to the root layout directory that you want to include in the bundle. This parameter is required.
`--out` `--output-path <output-path>`	Specifies the output file for the packaged Touch Adaptation Bundle. Normally a .takx file. This parameter is required.
`--asset-path <asset-path>`	Path to the root asset directory that you want to include in the bundle. If the bundle has no assets, this parameter isn’t required.
`--context file <context-file>`	Path to the context file that you want to include in the bundle. If the bundle has no context, this parameter isn’t required.
`--default-layout <default-layout>`	Name of the default layout. This should match the name of one of the files in the layout path.
`--version <version>`	Content version of the touch adaptation bundle such as 1.0.0.0. Each touch adaptation bundle submitted to Microsoft for a title must have a semantically larger version number than any prior touch adaptation bundle that has been submitted. The takx-version command may be used to examine the version of an existing bundle. The version number of the touch adaptation bundle in use while a game is being streamed may be obtained by calling XGameStreamingGetTouchBundleVersion
`--version-name <version-name>`	Name of the content version of the touch adaptation bundle such as “DLC 1”. Unlike the version number, the version name is optional and there are no requirements placed on its format. The takx-version command may be used to examine the version of an existing bundle. The version name of the touch adaptation bundle in use while a game is being streamed may be obtained by calling XGameStreamingGetTouchBundleVersion
`--no-asset-optimization`	Ensures that the assets for efficient storage and communication aren’t optimized. If set, the assets aren’t modified.
`--no-verify`	Ensures that the produced touch adaptation bundle is valid and isn’t verified.
`--language <language>`	IETF language tag of a language that you want to include in the produced bundle. If this parameter is specified multiple times, all the provided languages are included. If the parameter isn’t specified, all layouts and assets that are found in the source directory are included in the bundle.
