Re-followed the steps and yeah i missed inserting a name.def inside Linker > Input.
Done that, now still gives me that error...

Re: How to create a plugin - RyDeR` - 07.05.2011

Did you recompile with F7, and copied the new .dll to plugins (I'm sure you did, but who knows)?

Otherwise, I suggest you to delete that project and retry everything.

Done everything according to your tutorial, pressed F7, compiled successfully, copied the .dll from the debug folder into my server into plugins folder, added on plugins test inside server.cfg and that's almost it...

PS: I retried to make it again, didn't worked.
Gotta re-do it again to see...

Time to have some fun, I've been wanting to learn about this for ages!

Re: How to create a plugin - RyDeR` - 07.05.2011

My bad. I wrote it correct but the picture is wrong. You have to write *.def next to "Module Definition File".

Changing picture now..

EDIT: Changed.

If that happens then I will create a discussion topic suggesting that useless releases will be deleted. There's no need coding a plugin if you can do it in PAWN already, with minor exceptions.

Thanks for the tut. Now let's hope people won't go moronic about C++ -.-

Re: How to create a plugin - RyDeR` - 07.05.2011

It's not that easy so I don't think it will happen.

Re: How to create a plugin - Michael@Belgium - 08.05.2011

Re: How to create a plugin - me-borno - 08.05.2011

Ok, ive figuered out that whould work at all..

this is my new atempt:

Код:

static cell AMX_NATIVE_CALL GetVehicleName(AMX *amx, cell *params)
{
char* name = "No Vehicle";
...
return char (name);
}

but when i try this, the server actually crashes :S
it builds fine, but still... its crashes.

You can't return a string that you can use in PAWN. You have to use amx_GetAddr and amx_SetString.

Hmm.. could you explain that a bit more? perhaps in dutch? xD

Edit:
Ok, i almost found out how it works.
i made a function wich returns the vehicle name, and i almost works!

Код:

static cell AMX_NATIVE_CALL GetVehicleName(AMX *amx, cell *params)
{
	cell* addr = NULL;
	char* name = "No Vehicle";
	switch(params[1])
	{
		case 400: name = "Landstalker"; break;
		case 401: name = "Bravura"; break;
		case 402: name = "Buffalo"; break;
		case 403: name = "Linerunner"; break;
                ...
		case 609: name = "Boxville"; break;
		case 610: name = "Farm Plow"; break;
		case 611: name = "Utility Trailer"; break;
	}
	amx_GetAddr(amx, params[2], &addr);
	amx_SetString(addr, name, NULL, NULL, 64);
	logprintf("DEBUG: addr: %d name: %s", addr, name); 
	return 1;
}

and when i use it like this in Pawno:

Код:

printf("<Debug> %s", GetVehicleName(401));

it outputs

Код:

[21:23:27] <Debug> ☺
[21:23:27] Bravura

Whats wrong with that DEVELISH SMILEY?!

Re: How to create a plugin - Heavy_Badass - 09.05.2011

thank you, this will give me a jumpstart without having to figure this out.

does anyone have experience with this + netbeans if you want to run it on a linux server?

Re: How to create a plugin - RyDeR` - 13.05.2011

I have a question about this. Maybe someone knows? I know how to call natives from SA-MP to C++, but I don't know how to do it for functions like GetPlayerPos. Anyone has any idea how we can use GetPlayerPos in C++?

I think you use PawnCommand.. I did read a thread a long time ago about that.. Let me find it.

Re: How to create a plugin - Sasino97 - 14.05.2011

THANKS VERY MUCH!!!!!!

This tutorial is what I was looking for!!!!!!!!!

But a question, what C++ functions can I use to make a working plug-in on SA-MP?
