[FS9 DLL problem]

Thank you for complete explanation Pete, but since the LUA handling by FSUIPC is reserved only for registered user, I would prefer to move back to a DLL as I've to distribuite my scenery for free.

[FS9 DLL problem]

I had a quick look at LUA, seems so simple...to simple :)

I tryied to port my C code into LUA module. Since I've just to read an offset, have a check and write another offset, the code should be this:

visibility = ipc.readSW(0x0E8A)
if visibility<=300 then
	ipc.writeSW(0x0DDE, 999)
end

Is it so simple or I miss something? the LUAC compiler create succesfully my out file, I placed it into /modules folder of FS9 and updated the FSUIPC version.

This should be enough?

I was not aware about Lua, I'll take a look ant thanks for the tips of code!

[FS9 DLL problem]

Hello, I'm trying to code a dll in order to read the visibility and fill a USRVR5 variabile, thus I'll be able to condition an object in my scenery. Here's the code:

#include "fsmodule.h"
#include 
#include "FSUIPC_User.h"

LINKAGE Linkage =
{
    //0x000002d9,
    0x00000000,
    module_init,
    module_deinit,
    0,
    0,
    0x900,
    NULL
};

IMPORTTABLE ImportTable =
{
    {
        0x00000000, NULL
    }
};

WORD      LowVis=1;
UINT_PTR  TimerFSUIPC, VisibilityTimer;
BYTE      FSUIPCMemory[500];

VOID CALLBACK Visibility(HWND hwnd, UINT uMsg,UINT_PTR idEvent, DWORD dwTime)
{
   DWORD      dwResult;
   DWORD      IsLowVisibility;

   FSUIPC_Read(0x0E8A, 2, (DWORD*)&IsLowVisibility, &dwResult);
   FSUIPC_Process(&dwResult);

   //visibility is lower than 3 miles
   if (IsLowVisibility<=300) {
      FSUIPC_Write(0x0DDE, 2, &LowVis, &dwResult);
      FSUIPC_Process(&dwResult);
   }
}

VOID CALLBACK InitFSUIPC(HWND hwnd, UINT uMsg,UINT_PTR idEvent, DWORD dwTime)
{
   DWORD dwResult;
   if (FSUIPC_Open2(SIM_ANY, &dwResult, (BYTE*)FSUIPCMemory, 500)) {
      KillTimer(NULL,TimerFSUIPC);
      VisibilityTimer=SetTimer(NULL,1,2000,Visibility);
   }

}
void FSAPI module_init ()
{
   TimerFSUIPC=SetTimer (NULL,0,2000,InitFSUIPC);   
} 

void FSAPI module_deinit ()
{
   KillTimer (NULL,VisibilityTimer);
   FSUIPC_Close ();
}

Basically I would fill that variabiles when the visibility is lower/equal than 3 miles. The compiler create succeasfullt my DLL but nothing runs as expected. Is this code correct?

thanks!

[Detecting low visibility (fs2004)]

Hi guys,

I'm writing a simply DLL in order to detect visibility distance and condition an object in my scenery. Here's the code:

#include "fsmodule.h"
#include 
#include "FSUIPC_User.h"


LINKAGE Linkage =
{
    //0x000002d9,
    0x00000000,
    module_init,
    module_deinit,
    0,
    0,
    0x900,
    NULL
};

IMPORTTABLE ImportTable =
{
    {
        0x00000000, NULL
    }
};

WORD      LowVis=1;
UINT_PTR   TimerFSUIPC, VisibilityTimer;
BYTE      FSUIPCMemory[500];

VOID CALLBACK Visibility(HWND hwnd, UINT uMsg,UINT_PTR idEvent, DWORD dwTime)
{
   DWORD      dwResult;
   BYTE      IsLowVisibility;

    FSUIPC_Write(0x8001, 12, "IKB3BI67TCHEtest.dll", &dwResult);
    FSUIPC_Process(&dwResult);

   FSUIPC_Read(0x0E8A, 2, (BYTE*)&IsLowVisibility, &dwResult);
   FSUIPC_Process(&dwResult);

   //visibility is lower than 3 miles
   if (IsLowVisibility<=3.0) {
      FSUIPC_Write(0x0DDE, 2, &LowVis, &dwResult);
      FSUIPC_Process(&dwResult);
   }
}

VOID CALLBACK InitFSUIPC(HWND hwnd, UINT uMsg,UINT_PTR idEvent, DWORD dwTime)
{
   DWORD dwResult;
   if (FSUIPC_Open2(SIM_ANY, &dwResult, (BYTE*)FSUIPCMemory, 500)) {
      KillTimer(NULL,TimerFSUIPC);
      VisibilityTimer=SetTimer(NULL,1,2000,Visibility);
   }

}
void FSAPI module_init ()
{
   TimerFSUIPC=SetTimer (NULL,0,2000,InitFSUIPC);   
} 

void FSAPI module_deinit ()
{
   KillTimer (NULL,VisibilityTimer);
   FSUIPC_Close ();
}

Basically nothing happens, the DLL should be ok, what's wrong?

tx!

[Debug DLL]

SOLVED!

A little change applyed:

LINKAGE Linkage =
{
    //0x000002d9,
    0x00000000,
    module_init,
    module_deinit,
    0,
    0,
    0x900,
    NULL
};

Since 0x900 is for fs2004 which I use :D

[Debug DLL]

hello guys,

I'm trying to create a simple module (DLL) for FS which use Fsuipc for read a couple of offset. Basically I read an offset, get it's value and set another offset. Here's the code:

#include "fsmodule.h"
#include 
#include "FSUIPC_User.h"


LINKAGE Linkage =
{
    0x000002d9,
    module_init,
    module_deinit,
    0,
    0,
    0x800,
    { 0 }
};

IMPORTTABLE ImportTable =
{
    {
        0x00000000, NULL
    }
};

WORD		LowVis=0;
UINT_PTR	FSUIPCTimer, VisibilityTimer;
BYTE		FSUIPCMemory[400];

VOID CALLBACK Visibility(HWND hwnd, UINT uMsg,UINT_PTR idEvent, DWORD dwTime)
{
	DWORD		dwResult;
	BYTE		IsLowVisibility;

    FSUIPC_Write(0x8001, 12, "IKB3BI67TCHEtest.dll", &dwResult);
    FSUIPC_Process(&dwResult);

	FSUIPC_Read(0x238, 3, (BYTE*)&IsLowVisibility, &dwResult);
	FSUIPC_Process(&dwResult);

	//visibility is lower than 2 miles
	//if (IsLowVisibility<=0.02) {
		FSUIPC_Write(0x0DDE, 1, &LowVis, &dwResult);
	//	FSUIPC_Process(&dwResult);
	//}
}

VOID CALLBACK InitFSUIPC(HWND hwnd, UINT uMsg,UINT_PTR idEvent, DWORD dwTime)
{
	DWORD dwResult;
	if (FSUIPC_Open2(SIM_ANY, &dwResult, (BYTE*)FSUIPCMemory, 500)) {
		KillTimer(NULL,FSUIPCTimer);
		VisibilityTimer=SetTimer(NULL,1,2000,Visibility);
	}

}
void FSAPI module_deinit ()
{
	KillTimer (NULL,VisibilityTimer);
	FSUIPC_Close ();
}
void FSAPI module_init ()
{
	FSUIPCTimer=SetTimer (NULL,0,2000,InitFSUIPC);
}

My C compiler succesfully create my DLL but when I put into \modules folder, fs does not load it. I'm a newbie about dll, I dunno how to debug.

Any advice?

thanks!

[Detecting fog]

Ehm...Peter, but with Visual Studio 2005 and C#, can I create a DLL compatible with fs2004? or must I use the good old VC6 and C++?

[Detecting fog]

Such I supposed, thanks Peter. So if I detect the visibility and write down a value for 0x0DDE offset, in my scenery I'll be able to condition my object using the usrvr5, right?

[Detecting fog]

Hello guys,

I would like to read the offset for fog presence. Is possible? I cannot find anything in documentation

thanks!

PS: I use fs2004
