"Failed to load plugin..."

Chrisber · **Author**

Hi.
Here's my next problem

When I want to load my plugin, the following error appears:

Code:

Failed to load plugin addons/testplugin ([998]).

I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Here's a bit of my startup-code.

testplugin.cpp: http://nopaste.org/p/ayatianTB
testplugin.hpp: http://nopaste.org/p/a2Bshnsjmb

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Compiling is with 0 errors and warnings.

Thanks for answers

998 is a WinAPI error code, ERROR_NOACCESS. It sounds like a static constructor faulted while mapping your DLL into memory.

There aren't any in the code you pasted though, is it incomplete?

Hi.
Thanks for your help.
I don't know what you mean exactly. Here are the both files in complete. This are the only ones which I have included in my project solution currently.

http://dl.bmhost.de/TestPlugin.cpp.txt
http://dl.bmhost.de/TestPlugin.hpp.txt

Thanks,

In the C++ code generation options make sure you're linking to the multithreaded runtime, and _not_ the multithreaded DLL runtime.

A static constructor would be something like:

Code:

class X {
public:
   X() { }
};

X x;

But it looks like you have nothing like that. Another thing to check in the project options is that the CPU settings are acceptable. For example, if you compile with SSE support and your CPU doesn't have that, you'll get problems.

Hi.
Ok, I've checked that. It's set to Multithreaded (/MT).
I've used the project files from the stub_mm, I changed nothing so I think that all options should be correct.
I've added a static constructor now and the other stuff which missed (sample_mm).
Error is the same.

http://dl.bmhost.de/TestPlugin.hpp.txt

I don't have any more ideas :/

EDIT: Yippiii! I found out, that my plugin works well when I use the metaplugins.ini to load the plugin. My line:

Code:

addons/TestPlugin

But if I use the vdf Method, now another error appears:

Code:

Could not get IServerPluginCallbacks interface from plugin "../cstrike/addons/TestPlugin"

How can I reach that I can load my plugin by both methods?

Thanks,
Chris

Erm, I didn't mean you should add a static constructor, it was just an example of something which, when wrong, could cause your problem.

Your question could mean one of two things, I'm not sure which:
1. How to load MM:S plugins through a VDF?
2. How to loadplugins as both a MM:S and a Valve Server Plugin?

Assuming you meant #1, see here: http://wiki.alliedmods.net/Metamod:Source_VDF_Files

If it was #2, there's a more involved answer.

Hey.
I meant the first one. Loading my plugin by metaplugins.ini works perfectly, but trying it with the .vdf-method, this error appears:

Code:

Could not get IServerPluginCallbacks interface from plugin "../cstrike/addons/TestPlugin"

EDIT: Erm, I don't think it's possible to load a Metamod Plugin as a VSP?!

Thanks,

You can load a SourceMM plugin via the VDF method now, but not from the addons directory.

Look here: http://wiki.alliedmods.net/Metamod:Source_VDF_Files

Hi.
I know that! But it doesn't work like I've written above - the error appears if I want to load my plugin via the .vdf method.

Thanks,

How are you running SourceMM? gameinfo.txt? or as a VSP?
