HL2MP Code Changes Ineffective

[ahopps]

Well I looked through quite a bit of stuff and by the time I got to the year 2005, I decided it was time to post my own thread.

I am hoping to create a HL2 Multiplayer mod based on HL2DM code. I went through all the wiki install guide and I am compiling clean client and server.dlls. I will list my process in case I did something out of order or missed something:

Install HL2, HL2ep1, HL2ep2, install source sdk, install source sdk base, install source sdk orange, install HL2DM, run source sdk, create a mod with settings based on HL2, Episode One Multiplayer / Deathmatch, followed Valve wiki "My First Mod", went through entire compile checklist for VS C++ Express 08.

I started off simple by following the tutorial for changing the rocket speed and the effects are not being reflected in the game. I have tried all of the following appid's: 215(ep1sdk), 218(orangesdk), 220(hl2), 320(dm).

If this is a problem of the past and I've just missed something, I would be grateful to anyone who can point it out.

Did you had any compile errors in C++?
if not try to check the bin archive in the mod section and take a look if you see the following dll's:

client.dll
server.dll

if not you should move (copy paste) them from the mod source files following directories is where they can be found:

%mod dir%\src\cl_dll\Release HL2\client.dll
%mod dir%\src\dlls\Release HL2\server.dll

if those arent there you do got an error in compiling your code... or some settings you might have forgot (or not know)

let me know if you get any error...

nope, no errors. "i am compiling clean client and server.dlls". they are being output to my c:\mod\bin. when i run the game, i have tried running it from both steam and from run_mod.bat with the following settings:

@"c:\program files\steam\steamapps\ahopps\source sdk base 2007\hl2.exe" -dev -game "c:\program files\steam\steamapps\SourceMods\HoppsMod" -allowdebug -window %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

You also made sure they are in the bin directory ?
and ofcourse check the time of creation or edit of the file to make sure your last compiled dlls are right.

Starting up with just the steam interface is good enough so thats not the problem
