Hello, everyone. For the past week I have been trying to use a dll in Lite-C but can't seem to get it to work.
I just need to be able to call 2 functions from the dll:
unsigned int InitSystem(int argc, char * argv[],char* unchangedPath = NULL,char* readonlyPath = NULL, char* writablePath = NULL);
void PerformChat(char* user, char* usee, char* incoming,char* ip,char* output);
Bruce Wilcox has been kind enough to make me a dll for his ChatScript, and has been helping me to get this to work in Lite-C but I don't know much about dll's and can't get this to work. I have used other dll's such as Anet, but all I had to do was dump the dll and .h file in my game's folder and include the .h in my code. I have never actually had to make a .h file myself for a dll.
Getting back to the basics I am not trying to include it in my own project, rather just made a new test project folder and dumped the dll file in there. My current "test.c" file looks like this:
#include <acknex.h>
#include <windows.h>
unsigned int WINAPI InitSystem(int argc, char** argv,char* unchangedPathL,char* readonlyPath, char* writablePath);
void WINAPI PerformChat(char* user, char* usee, char* incoming,char* ip,char* output);
long ChatScript_h;
STRING* chatscript_answer;
void main()
{
fps_max=60;
level_load(NULL);
//while(!GetModuleHandle("ChatScript.DLL")){wait(1);}
ChatScript_h = LoadLibrary("ChatScript.DLL");
InitSystem = GetProcAddress(ChatScript_h,"InitSystem");
PerformChat = GetProcAddress(ChatScript_h,"PerformChat");
chatscript_answer=str_create("#128");
InitSystem(0,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL);
PerformChat(_chr("Carlos"),_chr("Harry"),_chr("Hello"),NULL,_chr(chatscript_answer));
while(1)
{
wait(1);
}
}
Can anyone help me spot what I am doing wrong? When I try to run the code I get an Error E1513 Script Crash in Main.
I have commented out "while(!GetModuleHandle("ChatScript.DLL")){wait(1);}" because it always returns 0 and gets stuck there.
It seems the dll is never loading? Do I have to use any other function before all that to open the dll?
Here is the relevant contents of my acklog.txt

I don't see "ChatScript.DLL" in that acklog either... I guess it is not opening the dll... (both "test.c" and "ChatScript.DLL" are in the same folder).
Any help with this would be great
