So I compiled an extension using metamod, sourcemod 1.8, and the hl2sdk2013, and the build completes successfully without any warnings or errors.

Then when I load the extension to the server, it gives me error code 0x0000007e, which is apparently "The specified module could not be found.".

Can I get any clue on what is the cause of this error?

A previous cryptic error was "could not find interface IGameHelpers", which happened because the extension was compiled against SM 1.8 but loaded on SM 1.7. However, I compiled against both 1.7 and 1.8 and neither of them load on SM 1.8.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

The module not found error is likely from it not finding some library that you are dynamically linking against.

Is there any way to find out what library it is that it's not finding?

I have hardly any experience with extensions... I only have an AMBuild and MSVC 2013 setup to just compile the source code. The extension works fine on linux.

Probably, but I don't know the best way offhand.

If you're compiling with /md instead of /mt, it could be the MS VC++ 2013 32-bit redistributable.

Else it's going to be some library that you're explicitly linking against in your ambuild files.

The problem was the .autoload file. I renamed the ext file and it loaded successfully. I have no idea how the .autoload files work, but since it works now... I have no complaints.

Thanks for all the help, as it may be useful when troubleshooting future extension problems.
