PLSM2 Doesnt Like me, Strange Error with dynamic [Solved]

PLSM2 Doesnt like me but i like what it can to, or what i have read anyway... But onto the problem I built Plugin_PagingLandscapeSceneManager2 project in debug mode, it created Plugin_PagingLandscapeSceneManager2.dll, I knew that the debug dll was supposed to have a _d on the end so i renamed it to Plugin_PagingLandscapeSceneManager2_d.dll, then i compiled and built MapSplitter in debug, moved all of the files to the bin\debug directory of $(OGRE_HOME), ran Mapsplitter it throws an exception and here i am, I've looked at it and im thouroghly puzzled...

any help would be very much loved

There is an error in your plugins.cfg

replace

Plugin=Plugin_PagingLandScapeSceneManager2_d

By

Plugin=Plugin_PagingLandScapeSceneManager2

still the same error but thanks for the try

Damn! Did you check the output debug dll filename that is in the defautl project?
Same thing for the plugin name in the default plugin.cfg that is attached with the sources?

I had to change the output file name in my IDE from Plugin_PagingLandScapeSceneManager2 to Plugin_PagingLandScapeSceneManager2_d in order to match the name inside the plugins.cfg file... I was compiling in debug mode yet it didnt put the _d on the end

Tocs1001, it is a very bad idea to change anything in the default project setup. You are asking for all kinds of trouble - no wonder PLSM2 doesn't like you!

You are totally free to experiment, after you've succesfully compiled and run PLSM2 using the provided, untouched project files.

Just my 0.2€

sry i havent had time to check the forums to reply! Very busy with a school project, I only changed the project output file, it should be the same as renameing the file. I had to change dependencies though to work it was looking for a non existant folder called common....

I hate to bump an old topic (Finally done with cursed school projects, i have have a break in between the end of the year project boost. Where every teacher decides to do a project involving poster board and typed reports >.>), but its the same problem as before Ive tried renaming the DLL's and changing the plugin.cfg. Do i have to build the plugin in a certain wa?, MSVC said it was in debug, I presume the Mapsplitter isnt in release because the plugin.cfg was asking for a debug version.

You should restart from zero there.

What Compiler is that ?

Get pslm2 source, compile it inside Ogre SDK 1.2rc2 and it should work out of the box (using visual studio express at least.).

Mapsplitter only require ogremain and ogreplatform.
plsm2 demo needs the plugins.

It wouldnt work "out of the box" even if i redownload it, it looks for a non existant folder in the dependancies called "common" there is no folder "common" there never was in any of my SDK downloads, Ive started from zero twice now, I can do it again, but i dont know how it will help because I'll just have to fix the dependencies again.I've restored the plugins.cfg file back to the original its still not working. My question is why isnt ogre finding the dll, I built .in debug with Microsoft Visual C++ .NET 2003. with the appropriate precompiled. Ogre SDK 1.20 RC2. I fixed the project dependencies so it would compile i got the plugin_PagingLandscapeSceneManager.dll placed it in the bin\debug directory of Ogre and it can't find it, I'm being told stuff ive already tried. However i descovered another log file called Mapsplitter log which says it cant find datasrcs, apparently a media file of somesort

I found something labled datasrc.zip on Tuan's website im DL'ing it

edit: HUZZAH IT WORKED!

Read the Wiki. Please.

As I primarly use VS8, VS2003 .vcproj may be out of date.
If you can send me modified VS2003 .vcproj files so that I can update plsm2 CVS.
