Help with the base plugin

marior7

I want to make the Base plugin work on another mod, as if I rewrote everything, the base appears, but the base is empty. I use Flhook2.1 (it still works on windows 7). I think that the SolarInfo struct is responsible for this, but what variable or what should I change? What is responsible for the middle of the database in the plugin?

Answer. In the Discovery mode, each system has a specially prepared base ((system)_proxy_base) that serves as a middle ground in the base you created. I didn’t notice this in the code…
I’ll think about how to fix it.

I faced another problem. What could be that the function HkChangeIDSString(client, 500000, L “text” ) does not send a message for replacement? The DSAce.dll library is connected. For example, replacing base information works fine.
I see that flhook4 has abandoned DSAce.dll altogether, and there is no “base” plugin there.

You require the directplay8.dll from a discovery install. that’s the real dsace client hook, the other one is meant to mislead. FLHook 4 has abandoned those plugins due to a number of reasons, including that they are poorly written and require dependencies that are not part of FLHook - they should have never been included to begin with as they are disco specific.

Thank you for your response. I took the directplay8.dll library from the distribution kit and connected it to dacom.ini (dsace was disconnected, and connected) - nothing changed. I still get a blank window. For some reason, this code does not work for me (and does not give any errors):

HkChangeIDSString(client, 500000, L"Base Help" ) ;//500000 500001
HkChangeIDSString(client, 500001, help);

FmtStr caption(0, 0);
caption.begin_mad_lib(500000 ) ;
caption.end_mad_lib();

FmtStr message(0, 0);
message.begin_mad_lib(500001 ) ;
message.end_mad_lib();

pub : : Player : : PopUpDialog(client, caption, message,
POPUPDIALOG_BUTTONS_CENTER_OK ) ;//an empty window is displayed

Two libraries, directplay8 and DSAce, are included in the release… But they seem to do the same job.

As I recall you also need dsacesrv.dll (the server side component) for this to work correctly.

I noticed this when I opened the dacomsrv.ini file in the distribution, and DSAce.dll and directplay8.dll are indeed connected there. I did the same, but nothing changed. The text in the resource libraries is not replaced. The server does not even send it…

I found out why it doesn’t work. I’m missing the dsacesrv.dll plugin. But where can I get it. This plugin is not in the repository, and they do not fit from another assembly. I use this assembly:https://github.com/TheStarport/FLHook/releases/tag/2022-05-09-16-29
Can anyone help me with this file?

Thank you all for your help. I switched to FLHook 3.1. There I found dsacesrv.dll in the assembly.
Peace and good luck.
