Arma2NET

[onyxphase 1]

I've read through your tutorials, but was unsure if i could write something that didn't require that i pass it the data first.

lets mock up a quick idea hear. I want the plugin always have the most up to date list of all active players objects.

would i have to have the scripting language pass it to the .net object, or would i be able to grab player from the .net plugin?

[Scott_NZ 10]

Unfortunately you'd have to pass the player along to Arma2NET. It does not have access to anything within the game.

Many thanks for the work on Arma2Net!

I have been fighting with an issue that I have been unable to resolve... I have narrowed it down to something wrong with Arma2Net perhaps but I thought I would post here to see if anyone else has had and resolved this issue. It seems that the server cannot find dll files related to Arma2Net when a client logs in to the server. I have tried running this on 3 different machines with and without all windows updates for the .Net 4 client profile. I suspect that I am doing something wrong but I cannot seem to isolate it. Any help would be greatly appreciated I am getting the following:

Arma2Net.log:

Thanks for assisting with the issue :)

I am not sure, I have verified that I have the MSVCR100.dll in windows/system32. Any other thoughts? Any ideas why Arma2Net is looking in the wrong place for 'Arma2Net.Managed'?

[Scott_NZ 10]

Is everything in C:/Program Files/Bohemia Interactive/ArmA 2/@Arma2NET?

[bjbourn 1]

Yes, That is correct.

[firefly2442 6]

Shouldn't you be pointing there for the DLLs when you compile it? You see it's pointing to your beta folder and not the root Arma2 folder. Perhaps that's the issue?

[Scott_NZ 10]

bjbourn, your problem seems to be because of an event used to find the rest of Arma2NET is not being subscribed to properly, probably because of a bug within Arma2NET. Which version of Arma2NET are you using? I will be releasing Arma2NET 2.0 soon with a lot of awesome fixes and enhancements, which I would like you to try.

New version frontpaged on the Armaholic homepage.

Arma2NET v2.0



.NET Framework 4 Client Profile

Edited July 21, 2012 by Guest
updated to new version

[Scott_NZ 10]

Arma2NET has been updated to version 2.0 with the following changes:

- Performance boost, including an improvement in startup time.

- Removed sandboxing because people just override it with -arma2netdev anyway, defeating the purpose of having it.

- Plugins can now be updated and reloaded at runtime with the new custom plugin system. This should also work with .NET 4.5 RC.

- Removed scripting system for now because of issues with resolving external references.

- Removed Settings.yaml and files and folders which are no longer needed.

- Fixed culture issues - Format.ObjectAsSqf was not using the invariant culture properly.

- PythonPlugin now targets IronPython 2.7.3, from 2.7.2.

- These are breaking changes - all plugins will need to retarget Arma2NET.

ZIP: https://bitbucket.org/Scott_NZ/arma2net/downloads/Arma2NET-2.0.zip

MSI: https://bitbucket.org/Scott_NZ/arma2net/downloads/Arma2NET-2.0.msi

Updated PythonPlugin: https://bitbucket.org/Scott_NZ/arma2net/downloads/PythonPlugin-2.0.zip

The biggest (and riskiest) update yet. As said above, these are breaking changes and all plugins will need to be changed slightly to target Arma2NET 2.0. The wiki has been updated accordingly which should help you with this.

Code examples:

using System;
using Arma2Net.AddInProxy;

namespace BaseFunctionsPlugin
{
   [AddIn("ClrVersion")]
   public class ClrVersion : AddIn
   {
       public override string Invoke(string args, int maxResultSize)
       {
           return Format.ObjectAsSqf(Environment.Version);
       }
   }
}

hint ("Arma2Net.Unmanaged" callExtension "ClrVersion")

using Arma2Net.AddInProxy;

namespace MyPlugin
{
   [AddIn("MyPlugin")]
   public class MyPlugin : MethodAddIn
   {
       public string Hello()
       {
           return "Hello world!";
       }
   }
}

hint ("Arma2Net.Unmanaged" callExtension "MyPlugin [Hello]")

Main observations:

- Arma2NetAddIn has been renamed to AddIn, and so on.

- The Run() method has been renamed to Invoke().

- The Deactivate() method has been renamed to Unload(). This method will always be called just before the plugin is unloaded and can be used for cleanup.

- All plugins are to refer to Arma2Net.AddInProxy.dll instead of Arma2Net.Managed.dll and System.AddIn.dll. The Format class can be found in there for SQF formatting, as well as the base classes that your plugins can derive from.

- Arma2NetLongOutputAddIn has been removed, since maxResultSize is now part of the default Invoke() signature.

There are also some new builtin functions:

- Load will load (or reload if already loaded) all plugins found in ArmA 2/@Arma2Net/AddIns. Place each plugin inside its own subfolder, like previously. Loading will not lock the plugins, so you can delete, replace etc the plugins at runtime and then call Load again to reload them.

- Unload will unload all plugins.

- AddIns will return a list of loaded plugins.

Wow, impressive changelog, improvements and fixes, congrats!

Thanks for the heads up, I think that did it for me, I am now getting a differnt crash error, but it appears that Arma2Net is now happy, here is the Arma2Net.log

[Scott_NZ 10]

How are you calling Arma2NET from SQF? Are there any logs in AppData/Local/Arma2NET or any Fusion logs? Are you using an old plugin that doesn't target 2.0?

[bjbourn 1]

At least the arma2oaserver.exe is no longer crashing now YAY!!!. I rebuilt the Arma2mysql plugin that was updated.

I think something is still out of wack with the plugin though, it is looking for AddInView.dll which seems to have been removed from 2.0 of Arma2Net.

Anyway here is what I am seeing now:

Looks like a bug in firefly2442's plugin.

[firefly2442 6]

Might be good to continue the discussion here:

http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?128795-Arma2MySQL

That way this thread doesn't get cluttered with other things.

.

With regard to your issue, I made some changes today. What's the Git hash for the version you tried? Make sure to pull and try the latest if there is a newer one.

[bjbourn 1]

I will move to the arma2mysql thread.

Hi Scott.

Getting an ARMA 2 crash when running MyPlugin using your example for "Unmanaged", beta 95417. Also, why did you chose to use parenthesis, it's syntactically incorrect and hurts Squint (2). Ported my save system to a library, using arma2net as a dependency, but trying provided example failed horribly. Could you try a current beta against your example? Trying to get away from JayARMA2Lib, making me waste time.. (C# program sends correct strings, ARMA adds garbage to the end, and the handler management totally blows)

Compiled "MyPlugin" with VS2010 (Stock settings / .NET 4) copied into "\addins\myplugin".

MyPlugin.cs:

using System.AddIn;
using AddInView;

namespace MyPlugin
{
   [AddIn("MyPlugin")]
   public class MyPlugin : Arma2NetMethodAddIn
   {
       public string Hello()
       {
           return "Hello world!";
       }
   }
}

Had to add System.Addin manually to the project (Win7 x64) and the modules references in the project (@arma2net\addinview.dll)

_result = call compile ("Arma2Net.Unmanaged" callExtension "MyPlugin [Hello]");
hint _result;

Anything different now?

(PS): Happens on 2.1 too. Stock ARMA (No beta) crashes immediately trying to load ARMA2Net.

Thanks!

Compiled with VS10, sorry. Meant check your example with testing.

[firefly2442 6]

I believe that's an old example. AFAIK, System.AddIn has been replaced by the AddInProxy:

using Arma2Net.AddInProxy;

[Scott_NZ 10]

firefly2442 is right, the code you borrowed targets an old version. Arma2NET is currently in a transition to a new addin framework I'm writing because System.AddIn was kind of unwieldy.

I've kept the same addin folder structure as before.

Just make sure you have a reference to Arma2Net.AddInProxy.dll. You can remove the reference(s) to Arma2Net.Managed.dll/System.AddIn.dll/AddInView.dll.

The code then becomes:

using Arma2Net.AddInProxy;

namespace MyPlugin
{
   [AddIn("MyPlugin")]
   public class MyPlugin : MethodAddIn
   {
       public string Hello()
       {
           return "Hello world!";
       }
   }
}

Thanks to both of you, will try when I get off work.

Still crashes fwiw, with new addinproxy, references removed.

[Scott_NZ 10]

OK, look in AppData/Local/Arma2NET for any logs.
