PLSM Install issues

I'm going to walk through what I did step by step - I might be acting like an idiot and missing something obvious, but the installation of this plugin eludes me. I don't have all that much experience with the OgreSDK and plugins, yet.

Okay, first of all, I'm going on what this (limited) Wiki page says:

http://www.ogre3d.org/wiki/index.php/Paging_Scene_Manager_Installation#VC8.0_Install

I am using microsoft visual studio 8.


1. Download the sample maps as datasrcs.zip from Tuan's web site.
2. Extract into the PLSM/media/paginglandscape2 directory.
3. Once you have extracted them, you can enable the terrains in paginglandscape2.cfg and maptools.cfg if needed. CVS users: You are required to do this.


Okay, I downloaded datasrcs.zip, extracted it to C:\OgreSDK, which is where the OgreSDK is installed, obviously.

The only thing that the datasrcs.zip file contained was some images. Alright, so I go down that page a bit, to the Visual Studio 8.0 install:


You will need :

* Ogre SDK for VC7.1 is available from sourceforge.
* Get Paging landscape 2 source from here.
* build the plsm2 Solution.


Okay, well, I already have installed the SDK. I download the source, build solution and it fails with this error:


The system cannot find the path specified.
0 file(s) copied.
Project : error PRJ0019: A tool returned an error code from "Performing Post-Build Event..."


Any pointers? I'm not quite sure how to finish the installation, being that it compiled fine. The Wiki page is kinda thin, so any help is appreciated.

From what I can tell, you can right click on the project and go to Properties -> Build Events -> Post-Build Event and adjust the copy command in "Command Line" to move the compiled object to the correct folder. Your folder is probably in the wrong spot.

I don't use SDK or VC 8.0, so things might be different for me /shrug.

My problem is, the documentation doesn't say what directory it belongs in.

Well if it's building the Plugin_PagingLandScape2 thing, it should copy the DLL to your Ogre directory that has your resources.cfg, OgreMain.dll etc. If you can't get it to copy to the right folder, just remove the copy command from Post-build and do it manually.
