hl.dll compile Error Created 8 years ago2015-08-25 11:51:24 UTC by Themaster12234

Okay, I'm using the SDK 2.3, I add some code to make a weapon, but whe I compile I have a lot of errors. Here you have the log (sorry but is in spanish...:

[ SNIP ] - mod

I don't know much programing so I don't understand what is the problem, if someone can tell I would appreciate it

I think you're going to have a hard time solving this one.
There's very little overlap in Spanish speakers and coders on this site.

Have you successfully compiled the code before you tried adding things?

I think I've had the same error eariler when using the old code (HL SDK 2.3) with VS2010 express. What I did was simply to use the code available at Valve's github, wich is the latest code used in the current Steam release of Half-Life. I recomend using that as it's updated and bugfixed and can be updated through github if a bugfix arrives, without affecting your custom code. It needs Visual Studio 2010 c++, wich I think the express version can still be downloaded from Microsoft, unless they've fulle phased it out in favort for VS2013.

Yep, I had the problem after... I'll try the code in valve's githb...

Thx for the help

Im mean before.... (Dat english)

okay, I still have the same f*** problem. This is the compile of the client.dll with the valve's github code:

[ SNIP ] - mod

Hide the warnings and post the errors only, the errors are the important things you need to look at, and the HL code has hundreds of warnings that you can safely ignore. I'll remove your previous logs because they're making the page really long, use something like pastebin to post log files please

Okay, sorry, I had a bug how do a lot of spam here, I'll try to find the errors...

Here are the errors:

I code that following this tutorial:

Okay, looks like you have some syntax errors in your 'beretta.cpp' file, but I think there are other problems as well. It's hard to tell without seeing the code. You should try to find a more detailed tutorial to follow.

Do you have much experience with C++ programming? If you haven't done a lot of programming before you are going to have a lot of difficulty making changes to the SDK, you might need to find someone else who can help you with coding new weapons.

No, I don't have much experience, i do a few tutorials but it doesn't help me... I need someone how can teach me. I'm 15 years old and in my country, I need to have 18 to learn programing in a university career...
thx for the help, i'll try to find the errors and I'll fix them if i can.

If you post the code in your beretta.cpp file, I might be able to locate some the errors. But I would recommend you learn how to do object-oriented C++ first, because the SDK code uses it a lot. You need to learn more about C++ programming if you want to make progress.

There is a good introduction here: http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/
You should read them all (and also write simple some code yourself so you can experience it yourself), but if you want to skip some, the most important sections you should read are:

• Basics: "Variables and types" and "Operators"
• Program structure: "Control Structures" and "Functions"
• Compound data types: "Arrays" and "Pointers"
• Classes: Everything

Oh thx you a lot (sorry if I writte bad), I'll do all of the tutorial, and here you have the file:

It's really hard to tell without seeing what other changes you've made, I can't see any obvious problems in that file, but there's missing components (from other files) so I can't be sure.

My recommendation would be to start again from an unmodified copy, then make very small changes one at a time, and compile after every change. That makes it a lot easier to know what change was wrong so you can investigate and find the problem.

Start by adding the weapon class because that's the first step (e.g. you can't add the gun to the HUD until you have finished the gun). A lot of the time it's easier to copy the code from another weapon to start with, you might want to copy the code from the handgun to use as a starting point.

looks like you compiled without finishing the tutorial. Please finish ALL of the weapon creating tutorial before compiling. Took me a while to make a simple weapon copy work but it's worth it when you see it in game

Your beretta.cpp looks incomplete and is missing functions like primaryfire. As penguinboy said, its better to copy hl_weapon_glock.cpp into beretta.cpp and start from there, rather than start from a blank file.

Okay, I'll do that. I downloaded again the source code and i compile it without coding. In the build of client.dll i have this error:

It's say something about a custom build with game_control.lib
