Hi guys,

Just trying to get the sample plugin going for the first time. It compiles and creates the .so binary, I chuck that in the addons folder and add the plugin to the metaplugins.inf.

However when I start the server and type 'meta list', I get

meta list
-Id- Name              Version   Author       Status
[01] -                 -         -            FAIL

I've tried with gcc 3.4 and gcc 4 to no avail...

I should clarify there, I have both the gcc (version 4.0.3 IIRC) and gcc-3.4 (version 3.4.5) packages installed, running Debian. To change the gcc version used, I just need to change "g++" to "g++-3.4" in the Makefile, correct?

Any help would be appreciated greatly![/code]

Use "meta retry 1" to see why it's not loading.

Thanks mate. I did that last night but it was late (early) and I'd forgotten all about it by the time I posted. You know how it is

meta retry 1
Error reloading plugin: Could not find interface ServerGameDLL003

If it helps, I get the same error with my compiled stub plugin, but other precompiled plugins work OK.

Thanks!

Edit: double post, sorry.

CSS and DOD:S now use "ServerGameDLL004"

Change your m_ServerDll line to look like this:

m_ServerDll = (IServerGameDLL *)((ismm->serverFactory())("ServerGameDLL004", NULL));

I couldn't find that - but I had a look around, changed the definition of INTERFACEVERSION_SERVERGAMEDLL in "eiface.h" to "ServerGameDLL004".

Recompiled, didn't work. Hmm. Had a more thorough look, still couldn't find the line you refer to...eventually just deleted the sourcemm folder, re-extracted, made the necessary changes and recompiled again, then it worked fine.

Any idea why it would do that? It seems gcc is caching alot of stuff (it takes a lot less time to make after the first time...); can you force it to redo everything?

I've only really worked in interpreted languages before...
