A simple guide to compiling the DLL

Does the folder you attached give the same errors you posted above? Because it looks fine.

more or less yes the constant error is the lack of dependencies.

btw this is the error output of the uploaded dir (debug mode)

Do you have the correct folders and files (the ones from this tutorial) in:

Code:

C:\Development\Toolkit
C:\Development\WindowsSDK

?
(Make sure you don't have a folder-in-folder issue here)

Do you have the following folders:

Code:

C:\Program Files\2K Games\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4 Complete\Beyond the Sword\CvGameCoreDLL\Boost-1.32.0
C:\Program Files\2K Games\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4 Complete\Beyond the Sword\CvGameCoreDLL\Python24

?

And BTW, there's no need to post 6(!) posts for the same continuous data. or 2, for that matter. If you can't post it all in a single post, save it in a text file and zip and attach it.

And specifically here - each

is just a progress report, not an error message.

Vanya · Nov 2, 2011

yes and yes

see below in the attach.

excuse for the 6 post. i've posted so dued to the 30000 word limit.

i'll do as you've described (txt file). i'm a total noob of visual studio.

so i've all fine in the environment structure. So what can be th issue?

Asaf · Nov 2, 2011

I can't see anything wrong with your files or folders, but the warnings suggest that somewhere along the way a library from a wrong version of VS was linked in.
I guess it's something in your PC's configuration (paths, for example), but I don't really know what...
For now I don't have any suggestions, but I'll try to think of something. sorry.

Vanya · Nov 3, 2011

i've made some sort of progress.

i've noticed in my program files dir a dir named windows SDK. It has th same structure as your windows sdks and the same files as i can see. so i've changed to this direcotry path the line relevant to the psdks in the makefile.

this was my only error instead of the 190 errors. i hope this can help you to address my issue.

Asaf · Nov 15, 2011

Sorry for not responding earlier.
This error happens in the compilation phase, which happens before the linking phase. The previous errors were in the linking phase, so it's actually a step back...

There are several versions of windows sdk, and the required one here is v6.0. It might be that the link uses a library from the wrong folder though, which caused the previous errors.

What folders do you have in your PATH environment variable? (not sure these are used, but doesn't hurt to check)

PsiCorps · Nov 15, 2011

I keep looking at this guide and I'm still searching for an answer to my question. It's a real Noob question but 'When do you need to compile a new DLL?' I assume it's when you make a change in the C++ code but I could be wrong with that assumption and it'll turn out to be a change to Python code. So, please put me out of my confusion and confirm exactly when a new DLL needs to be compiled.

Asaf · Nov 15, 2011

Yes. A new DLL needs to be compiled when you modify C++ code.
The only way the game can use the C++ code is by compiling it to machine code - in the form of a DLL file.

Pintadvs · Dec 4, 2011

Hi Asaf,

Fist of all, thanks for this very handy and very clear guide.

I compiled the base dll (for now, no modifications to the code), it worked fine.
I replaced the original dll in D:\Steam\SteamApps\common\sid meier's civilization iv beyond the sword\Beyond the Sword\Assets. executing the game from steam works fine (it uses my newly compiled DLL, right ?).
Now I tried the debugging part, I configured as you explained, but with no command line option
When I press start debugging, after the 2 message boxes you talk about, the execution encounters an error about an "ImageAtBase0x350000". I have this in the log:

Thanks

Regarding your problem - I don't even see the DLL loaded (it should say 'Loaded: ...\CvGameCoreDll.dll'). Is this the entire output?

And what exactly is the error regarding ImageAtBase0x350000? I don't see it. Can you post it?
Is it in the output? Is it a popup?

Pintadvs · Dec 5, 2011

Well, I was sure I saw this ImageAtBase0x350000 in the popup message yesterday, but I don't have it today, so it must have been a mistake...

Here's what I do
When I start debugging I have a 1st window saying "The project is out of date " CvGameCoreDLL - Debug Win32"
I press Yes
Then I have the "No debugging information" window, I press Yes again
Then the popup appears saying "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142)"

The content of the output is now in extenso in my previous post

I searched a bit on google and I found a 1st thread telling that on win 7 64bits this error code can be due to the UAC, but the slider is on the minimum on my PC (so I tried on the maximum to test my luck, but no)
in the end I found a forum where someone advised to use depends.exe
When I open Civ4BeyondSword.exe on this tool, It shows an error with CvGameCoreDLL.dll as you suspected, but when I double click on it, the message is confusing: why does the exe search for the dll in its directory instead of in the Assets folder ?

The dependency walker does not have the information where to look for the DLL. This is done at runtime.

It seems that the CvGameCoreDLL failed to load. There could be any number of reasons to it.
Can you attach your debug DLL (zipped)?

I guess you already know that (because you didn't use command line arguments), but usually you place the DLL in your mod's assets folder, and not in the game's global assets folder. I hope you kept the original DLL somewhere.

EDIT: Take a look at your makefile and see if you have this:

Code:

Debug_CFLAGS = /MD[B]d[/B] ...

If so, replace /MDd with /MD, compile again, copy the DLL and try running the game again.
Let me know if it works.

In the makefile I have
Debug_CFLAGS=/MD /Zi /Od /D_DEBUG /RTC1 /Fp"$(Debug_PCH)" $(GLOBAL_CFLAGS)

I tried again after creating the directories in the mods folder, uncommenting
YOURMOD=$(CIVINSTALL)\Mods\Test
in the makefile and adding -mod="Mods\Test" to the command argument
the result is exactly the same

Here is the dll

The DLL seems fine. I don't know what is the problem.

< And now, since I don't know how to solve this problem, let's try answering another question

Just to see if in release mode your DLL actually gets loaded:

Try compiling again the DLL in release mode, but add the following line:

Code:

MessageBoxA(NULL, "Using my DLL", "Test", MB_OK);

In CvGameCoreDLL.cpp, in the DllMain function in the first case after the following line:

Code:

OutputDebugString("DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH\n");

Now when the game loads this DLL you should get a popup.

It might give us a hint on the debug :dunno:
