Compiling the DeathMatch DLL
Posted: 2010-11-16, 01:03
Hi Carten, today I finished compiling the DeathMatch DLL, everything was ok, but when I try to open it within the Cafu main executable, I get an unhandled exception with the LoadLibrary() function. Replacing it to the scons-generated DLL works right.
The thing is that I'm almost using the same project configuration (the /J switch, multithreaded static debug linking of the C libraries, etc) of the OpenGl12 Renderer DLL, which I compiled using my visual studio solution and it works fine.
What could be causing this error?
Also, when using CaWE (vc++ solution-generated too) everything works right too- but the option Tie to entity is not working. I mean, I just create a block brush, I select it, but when I try to tie it to an entity I get the message 'Nothing is selected that could be tied to an entity'. Here's the code:
The thing is that the part should return true, but it doesn't. So it's something with the TypeInfo system.
I checked the TypeInfos of MapBrushT, MapPrimitiveT and MapElementT and everything is ok. MapBrushT inherits from the MapPrimitiveT class which in turn inherits from MapElementT.
So, I'm pretty sure that Elem is a MapBrushT (got it using the debugger), but its GetType() it's not equal to &MapPrimitiveT::TypeInfo?.

by compiling with a different bullet collision library (I was mixing up the cafu Libs compiled with my visual studio solution and most of the ExtLibs generated with the SCons system. Microsoft recommends not to mix libraries compiled with different versions of the compiler, and the external libraries were built with Visual Studio 2008 Sp1 and the other libraries without the Service Pack).
