How to Compile the Vox Populi DLL

[InkAxis]

I had git installed before I did any of the VP DLL stuff, and it worked for me without any specific setup.

@Laz0r Try deleting your repository and redownload it now after you have git installed. Also make sure your repository folder name doesn't have spaces in it. Mine is now working since I did this.

Probably a stupid question, but what does it achieve to compile your own DLL? Faster mods loading?

No, it's if you want to edit the DLL.

Hi, so I followed the instructions as well as on the Github, and the DLL seems to build just fine, but when I try to replace the DLL from the BuildOutput folder into MODS\(1) Community Patch, the game CTD immediately upon mod log. Looking at the MiniDump and it looks like this fails at CvDllDatabaseUtility, and I think the issue is that the database that it's trying to load is the core vanilla DB instead of the Vox Populi mod DB, but I'm not sure where else to go - kind of stuck here. Has anyone else faced this issue and knows how to resolve it? Thanks!

EDIT: To future modders who may see this message, fix is documented here: https://github.com/LoneGazebo/Community-Patch-DLL/issues/9170

Please add an information that you have to install VS version chronologically.
If you already have later versions of VS installed, you have to uninstall all of them, and then you can install VS 2008 and Isolated Shell. After that, you can install the later version of VS you want.
