I am trying to setup VBS to talk HLA to a legacy app using LVCGame.
I am using openRTI currently in my project. I have LVCGame pointed to a directory with the following dlls:
- RTI-NG.dll
- OpenRIT.dll (copied from another folder)
- libRTI-NG.dll (copy of RTI-NG.dll and renamed)
- FedTime.dll
My vbsClient.config relevant lines:
Plugins = HLA-1.3.dll : HLA-1.3\Project\HLA.config
I am getting the following error out of LVCGame:
2014-12-31 10:48:03 INFO (LVCGAME::LVCGame::init) Initialised.
2014-12-31 10:48:03 ERROR (LVCGAME::LVCGame::start) 'class LVCGAME::UTILS::Exception' (src\LVCGame.cpp, line 766): Couldn't load plugin .\lib\HLA-1.3.dll. Error Code: 127
I did send an email to VBS support but it I had any idea what a 127 error was maybe I could get further.
I found that another free RTI Portico implementation is mentioned as working with LVCgame giving that a try has pretty similar results I get and error 126 instead of a 127.
2015-01-02 09:47:47 INFO (LVCGAME::UTILS::IOUtils::extractDllLoadPath) Using DLL path specified as 'D:\Program Files (x86)\Portico\portico-2.0.1\bin\vc10'. 2015-01-02 09:47:47 INFO (LVCGAME::LVCGame::init) Initialised. 2015-01-02 09:47:47 ERROR (LVCGAME::LVCGame::start) 'class LVCGAME::UTILS::Exception' (src\LVCGame.cpp, line 766): Couldn't load plugin .\lib\HLA-1.3.dll. Error Code: 126
2015-01-02 09:47:47 ERROR (LVCGAME::LVCGame::start) LVCGame start failed!
So eventually I found that Portico was creating a log file located in my VBS directory\logs. From there I was able to see that Portico at least was not able to find my .fed file I had the path messed up.
