Hi,

This is probably a noob question that is covered somewhere on the net, but having spent yesterday afternoon looking for the answer and not being able to find what I'm after, I thought I'ld ask here.

I've been a software developer for 5 years now, so I know all about Dev |Studio, and how to debug applications normally, but I can't for the life of me work out how you are supposed to debug a server plugin .dll. If anyone can give me a few pointers as to how to do this then that would be great.

TIA,

Tom

It is exactly the same as debugging any other application.

... Have the linker dump the debug build in the correct folder (e.g. C:\HLSServer\bin), have the debugger setup to launch the server binary (e.g. srcds.exe), set the working folder to the server root (e.g. C:\HLSServer) and also append '-allowdebug' to the args list... Then hit 'Play' and you're all set.

Brilliant. Thanks for that. I'm not used to debugging dll's and didn't realise about the allowdebug, but that worked a treat.

Thanks again.

Note that (for me), srcds will dump core dumps for release builds. You can then open those with visual studio's debugger.
