[Guide] How to compile your own DLL

[Cursed]

Do you use Normal Ascent or OpenAscent?
This error pops up when StdAfx.h wasn't compiled before the script and that means you
didn't compile Ascent before :/

Great guide, realy helping me. But I found something that seems wrong, or is it just me?

RelativePath="..srcPvPTokenPvPToken.cpp"

RelativePath="..srcPvPTokenSetup.h"

RelativePath="..srcPvPTokenSetup.cpp"

Should't it be like

RelativePath="..src//PvPToken//PvPToken.cpp"

RelativePath="..src//PvPToken//Setup.h"

RelativePath="..src//PvPToken//Setup.cpp"

Or is it just be that is thinking wrong?

[Cursed]

Hmm you could be right... Sorry I dont have the option to test it now but Ill add it.

Yeah, I'm getting an error similar to the one someone else got earlier.

And yes, I've compiled Ascent. I am using OpenAscent if that makes a difference.

Like I said a thousand times before... This guide is OLD! The new .vcproj doesnt mean that it works with OpenAscent! I wrote this guide long time ago. It SHOULD give you an idea how the compiling works - Now try to fix the errors yourself! (This guide was released way before OpenAscent)

[guitargod218]

I'm not totally sure how to fix it. I've tried by myself, but it really doesn't seem to work. If you know how to do it, maybe you can help me out. Do you have MSN?

[Cursed]

[email protected] is my MSN...

I get this same error... someone help please...

If you didnt see it: SectorSeven made a great guide about compiling DLLs too. I linked it in the main thread but anyway here is the link: Link
If you get any errors, have some problems with my guide I'd recommend looking there
