skse plugin

[badlander00]

Hi folks,

does anybody have a little knowledge on skse plugins?

 

Im trying to add 3 get functions for papyrus to access to get:

weapon.VatsChance

weapon.SightFOV

Potion.AddictionChance

 

I figured this would be relatively simple for me to handle but I have run into a snag that I suspect is a result of my lack of c++ experience and probably simple to fix

 

My method for tackling this was to essentially copy PapyrusWeapon.cpp & h and PapyrusPotion.cpp & h

merge their code into My.cpp & h

then replace all the functions and registering code with what I need,

copying from skse code and referring to GameObjects.h for the integers & floats I require the functions to get

 

I figured I should get My.cpp 's to compile before building .sln

but VS outputs errors relating to PapyrusFunctionDefBase.ini & PapyrusArgs.h

 

Im using VS2008 as I had errors all over the place in VS2013 I was suspicious this may have had something to do with the update procedure, I read somewhere skse was written in VS2008 so I followed suit

 

I appreciate replies like you would never understand Im so stuck :wallbash:

Ive tried so many things now but I dont fully understand whats going on,

but keep coming back to these same problems:

 

# papyrusargs.h(195) : error C2825: 'BaseType': must be a class or namespace when followed by '::'

 

# papyrusnativefunctiondef_base.inl(231) : see reference to function template instantiation 'UInt32 GetTypeID<T_Result>(VMClassRegistry *)' being compiled with [ T_Result=UInt8 ]

ANYONE SPOT THE LIKELY SCHOOL BOY ERROR THAT IM HUNG UP ON?

Ok been at this a while now but its all learning :facepalm:

I have now effectively started over trying to discover where it went wrong through process of elimination,

problem is I dont really know what to eliminate nor how.

 

Going through bookmarked google searches that I saved now I understand a tiny bit more than I did when I first read through I believe that

I may have missed some environment setups, even after going through these I still get errors in VS2013express, maybe see what VS2008express says about the same setup but I suspect it will be the same.

 

1) Open skse.sln in VS

 

2) highlight & delete all projects only leaving skse, example_project & common_VC9

 

3) In Example_Plugin, "add new item" .cpp and a .h

copy & paste, main.cpp, MyPlugin.h, MyPlugin.cpp from https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/863175-can-someone-explain-skse-plugins-to-me/ thread "eventHandler's post #9", exactly into the respective files in example_plugin

 

4) add to example_project, all corresponding files from skse that are marked as "#include" in MyPlugin.h & .cpp & main.cpp (this means both .cpp & .h files need to be added)

 

5) in the solution explorer in VS, right click the skse project, "properties\configuration properties\general\configuration type" change it to

"static library (.lib)" & ensure the same for commonVC9 I think

 

6) right click example_plugin "properties\common properties\referances" if there is no referance to skse, click "add new referance" & select "skse"

 

Im now met with 1 warning & 5 errors:

 

# warning C4996: 'GetVersionExA': was declared deprecated \utilities.cpp 183 1 skse

 

# error C2039: 'min' : is not a member of 'std' \papyrusobjects.cpp 165 1 skse

 

# error C2065: 'min' : undeclared identifier \papyrusobjects.cpp 165 1 skse

 

# IntelliSense: namespace "std" has no member "min" \PapyrusObjects.cpp 165 24 skse

 

# IntelliSense: this operator is not allowed in a constant expression \PapyrusVM.h 537 1 skse

 

# IntelliSense: this operator is not allowed in a constant expression \PapyrusVM.h 646 1 skse

 

I'll keep trying but :wallbash:

OK a great deal of messing around but I seem to have Common_vc9 & skse projects compiling ok

However, I have also (I think ...) narrowed down my plugin_example project to what causes errors, by first compiling my main.cpp (no problems)

and then compiling my Source.cpp (errors)

I then removed parts until the code compiled and bingo, this is the problematic part:

			registry->RegisterFunction(
			new NativeFunction0 <TESObjectWEAP, UInt8>("GetVatsChance", "Weapon", LeesPluginSource::GetVatsChance, registry));

I can't see what the problem is as those lines are identical in layout to 2 other native functions that compile fine, the only difference being the typedef (UInt8) as you can see

		registry->RegisterFunction(
			new NativeFunction0<AlchemyItem, UInt32>("GetAddictionChance", "Potion", LeesPluginSource::GetAddictionChance, registry));
		registry->RegisterFunction(
			new NativeFunction0 <TESObjectWEAP, UInt8>("GetVatsChance", "Weapon", LeesPluginSource::GetVatsChance, registry));
		registry->RegisterFunction(
			new NativeFunction0 <TESObjectWEAP, float>("GetSightFOV", "Weapon", LeesPluginSource::GetSightFOV, registry));

without the mentioned lines it compiles fine ??

Any ideas?
