[kinda solved] Can't load plugin<dsacesrv.dll></dsacesrv.dll>

DJ.DBFuz

Heyho fellow Freelancers :),

yesterday i stumbled upon the newest rev (249) of flhookplugin at the svn forge. Compiled it with visual studio 2013 and everything went fine

Unfortunately the given dsacesrv.dll seems to not work properly…

Does somebody know a resolution for this?

starworld

The file is not compatible because compile with 2008. Source code dsacesrv is close.
No solution, maybe with a future update of discovery.

FriendlyFire

If you head over Disco’s forums and ask around, you might get one of the guys with access to the source to port it to 2013. No guarantee though, otherwise it’s back to 2008.

Thx for your advice

Now that i have recompiled it via vs 2008 it can be loaded again

But I just ran into new struggles:

I noticed that the server doesnt recognize the player ids … :S
(f.e. a client logs in and types “/id” and gets his ID as a response, but if want to f.e. add cargo or kill him/her the server responses with “ERR Invalid client id” … )

I didnt change any code for this testruns :S

Look at the dependencies by dependency walker, etc of dsacesrv.dll - ex. msvcp90.dll, msvcr90.dll
then recompile it with proper VC version - choose it somewhere at the Project Properties of 2013 GUI
or yes, by vs 2008 you may try start to rebuild from ahookext - check it’s properties too.

You’re gonna want to rebuild hookext. Heck, might as well rebuild all the plugins you’re using. It takes maybe a second or two longer for each plugin and will save you lots of pain in the long run.

DJ.DBFuz

Hm did the rebuilding & just in case reinstalled vc redist 2008 sp1, still the same errors….

Where do i find the option to change it to the proper VC version Helloween?
(I’m using vs 2008 as for now)

FriendlyFire

If it compiles, it’s already the right version.

However, I’m not sure dsace was built with SP1, which changes the STL headers and thus is likely a breaking change.

DJ.DBFuz

The testruns mentioned above were even tried without loading the dsacesrv plugin.

I just grabbed the code from the forge without any changes and noticed the errors posted before

FriendlyFire

The problem is that you’re using a version of Hook that’s more recent than the one dsaceserv.dll was built against. The libs changed, the definitions changed, so all plugins must be recompiled.

The only fix is to go back revisions until you find the one dsaceserv.dll was built with.

DJ.DBFuz

yeah i see alot of your points, but the problems described here still occur even without dsacesrv plugin ….

Now I’m just trying to get the “vanilla version” from the forge to work properly … which unfortunately still leads to the errors

maybe the forum topic is misleading

FriendlyFire

It’s possible that hookext didn’t like some of the changes made to Hook as well. It’s hard to test those plugins since they do nothing by themselves.

@DJ.DBFuz Get flhook rev.241.
And last dsacesrv.dll here :
http://discoverygc.com/updates/487update7a.zip

DJ.DBFuz

@Starworld: THX i’ll try that

But still I got problems with unmodified newest rev
Maybe i should open a new thread for that….

At the first glance the clients are registred by flhook again (with rev241; checked via getplayers command)
It’s a bummer that it dont work with the newest rev for me :S
