cant initialize IServerGameDLL!

Fix · **Author**

why doesnt it work?

Code:

#include "server_class.h"

Code:

// Interfaces from the engine
IVEngineServer	*engine = NULL; // helper functions (messaging clients, loading content, making entities, running commands, etc)
IFileSystem		*filesystem = NULL; // file I/O 
IGameEventManager *gameeventmanager = NULL; // game events interface
IPlayerInfoManager *playerinfomanager = NULL; // game dll interface to interact with players
IBotManager *botmanager = NULL; // game dll interface to interact with bots
IServerPluginHelpers *helpers = NULL; // special 3rd party plugin helpers from the engine
IUniformRandomStream *randomStr = NULL;
IEngineTrace *enginetrace = NULL;

CGlobalVars *gpGlobals = NULL;

IServerGameDLL *servergamedll=NULL;

Code:

	// get the interfaces we want to use
	if(	!(engine = (IVEngineServer*)interfaceFactory(INTERFACEVERSION_VENGINESERVER, NULL)) ||
		!(gameeventmanager = (IGameEventManager *)interfaceFactory(INTERFACEVERSION_GAMEEVENTSMANAGER,NULL)) ||
		!(filesystem = (IFileSystem*)interfaceFactory(FILESYSTEM_INTERFACE_VERSION, NULL)) ||
		!(helpers = (IServerPluginHelpers*)interfaceFactory(INTERFACEVERSION_ISERVERPLUGINHELPERS, NULL)) || 
		!(enginetrace = (IEngineTrace *)interfaceFactory(INTERFACEVERSION_ENGINETRACE_SERVER,NULL)) ||
		!(servergamedll= (IServerGameDLL*)interfaceFactory("ServerGameDLL004",NULL)) ||
		!(randomStr = (IUniformRandomStream *)interfaceFactory(VENGINE_SERVER_RANDOM_INTERFACE_VERSION, NULL))
		)
	{
		return false; // we require all these interface to function
	}

returns false, so the plugin doesnt work anymore...
why doesnt this work?

INTERFACEVERSION_SERVERGAMEDLL is defined as "ServerGameDLL003" which no longer is the correct version. Use "ServerGameDLL004" instead.

If you look at his code, he is..

BAILOPAN · 12-28-2005 , 21:52

maybe he should be using 003 instead... he didn't say what mod he was programming for.

CS:S, I was helping him earlier on MSN, and Im stumped on it too o.O

Twas I who told him use 004.

How do you know it's the server game DLL interface? The code returns false if any of the interfaces don't load.

Sslice was saying on IRC that the IServerPluginHelpers interface wouldn't load for him any more. Maybe that is the problem.

I would check each one individually and to determine which one is failing.

Also, you should probably be using IGameEventManager2 (which will require you to change your AddListener lines in the plugin).

Code:

(gameeventmanager = (IGameEventManager2 *)interfaceFactory(INTERFACEVERSION_GAMEEVENTSMANAGER2,NULL))

Make sure you change your class declaration to inherit IGameEventListener2.

I *think* it was working for him before he added that line.

He had it on its own first, with a warning if it didnt init but he didnt stop the plugin loading so it was crashing when he used IServerGameDLL.

So, to tidy it up I told him put it there.

if i remove the severgamedll line in the if() it works fine
it is this and nothing else ;)
i also added today IEngineSound and it works fine.
why does the IServerGameDLL not work?

and wtf is eventmanager2`?

Try using

gameServerFactory

instead of interfaceFactory

Code:

serverdll = (IServerGameDLL*) gameServerFactory("ServerGameDLL004", NULL);
