IV Released C++ Script Hook

[GAK]

I have a "little" problem with the SampleCustomFiber when I put SampleCustomFiber.asi in my GTA4 folder the ASI loader load it but the "CustomFiberThread::RunScript()" never executed

to see if it runs I added

LogInfo("RunScript");

before the

while(IsThreadAlive())

 

 

I try to load it with Alice ASI loader and Xlive ASI loader, my game is patch and the SampleCustom.asi work perfectly.

@klanly... I'm aware of the problem... just haven't figured out a way to solve it with the least amount of resource usage yet

 

@sjaak327... you can try this

 

eColour colour1,colour2;

 

Just match the types... enums can be safely casted to int and back... so if you want a int value of it, do something like:

 

int colourInt = (int)colour1;colour1 = (eColour)colourInt;

 

 

@GAK... interesting problem, since I can't reproduce it. I'm assuming you got in-game (RunScript isn't started till it gets ingame). Can you post the contents of SampleCustomFiber.log. If you can't find SampleCustomFiber.log, try running GTAIV as admin.

maybe using web color like 00ffff or 00ccff

I can see the SampleCustom.log but the SampleCustomFiber.log don't exist.In the log of the ASI loader of Alice I saw this(without other ASI) :

Loading ASI J:\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto IV\SampleCustomFiber.asiASI loaded : J:\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto IV\SampleCustomFiber.asi, Address 0x00000000

 

 

and this (with orther ASI) :

 

Loading ASI J:\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto IV\flight_mod_dingbat2k.asiASI loaded : J:\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto IV\flight_mod_dingbat2k.asi, Address 0x10000000Loading ASI J:\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto IV\SampleCustom.asiASI loaded : J:\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto IV\SampleCustom.asi, Address 0x03310000Loading ASI J:\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto IV\SampleCustomFiber.asiASI loaded : J:\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto IV\SampleCustomFiber.asi, Address 0x00000000

 

 

So the SampleCustomFiber.asi is always loaded at 0x00000000 unlike other ASI And I think the content of SampleCustomFiber.asi is never executed why? I don't know.Any idea?

[Intosia]

Hm, stuff i compile with 0.2 get loaded at 0x00000000 in AsiLog.txt. With Debug and Release Build... Even CustomSampleFiber.asi...

 

Edit: just like above.

[GAK]

Can you send me your SampleCustomFiber.asi? to see if I have not made an error in compiling.

[klanly]

here's mine... complied by default and it works in my gta4.

[GAK]

Thank you klanly.

But he don't work for me. I will try to find what, in my GTA4 folder, can interact with the ASI loader or ASI file.

Wierd my filesize is different...

 

Out of the box compile

 

Release build:

SampleCustomFiber.dll : 110 KB (113.152 bytes)

 

Debug build:

SampleCustomFiber.dll : 98,0 KB (100.352 bytes)

 

Yours is 105 KB (107.520 bytes)

If the load address is 0x00000000, that usually means an exception occurred while loading the dll... what I would do in this case is start commenting out stuff from Main.cpp until it gives a non-zero address. Maybe its the Log::AddLogger, or maybe its ScriptHookManager::Initialize or ScriptHookManager::RegisterThread.... or maybe its even the static CustomFiberThread declaration.

I'm a newbie to C and its complier...

I load it in dependency-walker and found it needs msvcr90D, may this help?

 

@Intosia

I just complied it with my newly installed vc2008.. maybe it's a debug version

Here are my compiled dlls if it helps... download

By starting the game with GTAIV.exe directly in my GTA 4 folder(not with the launcher) I have an error : IsThreadAFiber is not found in kernel32.dll

 

So I search IsThreadAFiber with google and I find this :

Minimum supported client	Windows Vista 

 

(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms684131(VS.85).aspx)

 

I have Windows XP and I wonder if this is not the cause of my problem.

Yep, that would be it.

Maybe its the Log::AddLogger, or maybe its ScriptHookManager::Initialize or  ScriptHookManager::RegisterThread.... or maybe its even the static CustomFiberThread declaration.

Even with this i get 0x0000000

 

       case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH:        { 	// Initialize loggers 	//Log::AddLogger( LoggerODS::GetInstance() ); 	//Log::AddLogger( LoggerFile::GetInstance() ); 	// Initialize the script hook manager and register threads 	//ScriptHookManager::Initialize(); 	//ScriptHookManager::RegisterThread( &_customThread );           break;       }

 

 

EDIT: Even you're dll dont work (Aru). Damn this is annoying!

Aaah your sh*ttin' me right? I hate Vista No way thats comming on my system

GAK/Intosia.. try this...

 

Open ScriptHook\NativeFiberThread.cpp... Find:

 

 

if (IsThreadAFiber())

 

 

Replace it with:

 

 

if (!IsBadReadPtr(GetCurrentFiber(), sizeof(ptr)))

Wel i dont get the Kernel error. And i get loaded at Address 0x10000000 So i guess that works

[aru]

Okay, great... I uploaded a new version 0.2.1 with that patch included. Link on first post. Thanks!

Perfect! thank you very much aru. its works very well.

@Aru, amazing, not only this great hook, but also the quick and efficient support you're offering via this thread.

 

Thanks !

Ok how can i check if a function return a usefull value?

 

I have this:

 

 	closeCar = GetClosestCar(x,y,z,50,false,70); 	if(closeCar != 0) 	{   //LogInfo(closeCar)   Cars.push_back(closeCar); 	}

 

 

But i get this error:

 

error C2678: binary '!=' : no operator found which takes a left-hand operand of type 'Scripting::Vehicle'ORerror C2676: binary '>' : 'Scripting::Vehicle' does not define this operator or 

 

[GAK]

You should use

closeCar.Handle != 0

 

because the Vehicle is a struct with 1 variable I think aru want to add more variables later because the Handle is simply a u32

[L0uNGeR]

Whaaaaaa, another new version, all I'm doing is moving my functions to new projects

Thanks, helped me out ALOT

[HippieCommunist]

does that means no annoying dlls to join my mods?

 

coz if so ill recomplie all my mods in this baby!

This stuff is tha sh*t, way better/faster/stable then LUA Builds a ASI file.

[Intosia]

Ok dont know if this is the right place to ask, but do it anyway.

 

If if i get the coords from a car, the X is way more different then my X.

 

[iNFO] Searching car at player coords 592.643188, 1373.206421, 11.272066[iNFO]  - Found Car (2602)[iNFO]  - Car coords 11.338131, 1367.277954, 11.272066

 

 

Altough the car is standing next to me?

 

My code:

[GAK]

I think its because the coords of a car is the "center" of the car, you can see this with the example of aru when the car spawn you are on the center.

 

The center of a player and the center of a car is different because the car is much larger.

 

EDIT : and I think we should create a post for help in C++ hook^^

Ok, but it cant have a difference of almost 600? Even if the coords are in the front or center or back of the car. 600 is to much... Thats almost the otherside of the map(?)
