I also mailed this to Grelminar, but knowing he is a busy man I might get the solution handed quicker if I post it here as well:

Winasss 1.4.0, build on msvc++.net

Description of the problem: After loading the module logman, no other modules will report that they have loaded in the console. Putting them twice in modules.conf will give the error message that the module is already loaded. It will then proceed to generate an unrecoverable error on bw_default. bw_default can only fail if cfg is returning an error, probably because it's not loaded properly.

Screendump:
starting winasss...
winasss 1.3.5 built at Sep 6 2005 00:45:59
Loading modules...
I <cmod> loading C module 'deadlock' from 'internal'
I <cmod> loading C module 'prng' from 'internal'
I <cmod> loading C module 'logman' from 'internal' <- After this 4 modules fail to report in the console
Unrecoverable error (5): Error in loading module 'bw_default'
winasss cannot start. error loading modules.
Press any key to continue . . .

Removing bw_default will lead to the next module in line failing to load.

Part of modules.conf
; not on windows: unixsignal
deadlock

prng
logman
mainloop <- Does not report anything in the console
config <- Does not report anything in the console
playerdata <- Does not report anything in the console
lagdata <- Does not report anything in the console

bw_default
net
chatnet

---

The executable is 'properly' compiled with all the modules in it. Or at least it should be, the first three load just fine, ergo the others should.

In conf/global.conf look for the [log_console] section. There could be settings here that are hiding log messages.

This should print everything.

The version is a direct download from www.sscx.net/asss, nothing was changed.

part of global.conf
;[log_console]
; all = DIMWE

I'm uncommenting this, result is completely the same.

Anyway(With your hint I checked ASSSVERSION which was defined at 1.4.0, so I checked the project files ->), I think I found a problem, it seems the project is pointing to an older version of the winasss main.c, let me fix this.

The problem remains.

Console output:

Have you tried making a new project from scratch instead of just updating a few files?

Sai · Newbie Joined: Sep 09 2005 Posts: 13 Offline

There was nothing to update, I somehow added an old version to the project - it was on a completely different drive. (I edited the project files to point to the one it should, besides that I doubt much is different in the main.c anyway. I cleaned the project and did a rebuild.)

This <is> a completely new project because Grelminar changed the entire project structure.

Solution: bw_default was missing EXPORT. (Thanks Grel)

Heh, I've had these issues too.

Grel mist've read my complaining.

lots of times it will tell you a module fails before logging other ones as loaded correctly. This happens when I make custom modules and they fail loading right at the begining.
