Troubleshooting client "module could not be loaded" when the mod compiles fine
working on updating a nearly full C++ mod. it compiles+packages fine for editor and shipping, but client crashes on the menu and gets the good ol':
Plugin 'SmartFoundations' failed to load because module 'SmartFoundations' could not be loaded. There may be an operating system error or the module may not be properly set up.
unfortunately the mod is closed source so I can't share code here without asking Alex. what steps can I take from here to find out what is actually going wrong with the module?8 Replies
Something is preventing this mod from loading. Troubleshooting ideas:
- Try closing and reopening the mod manager
- Try turning mods off and back on again in the Mod Manager
- Are you playing on Experimental? Check the compatibility info to find out if that mod supports it.
- Are you using the most recent version of the mentioned mod? If you are, be patient. Mod support for new versions is an ongoing effort by authors in their spare time. If you absolutely need this mod, you can play something else or start a fresh save while you wait for an update!

The specified procedure could not be found.
This means some function that the DLL tries to use doesn't exist in the game binaries. As to which one... 🤷Scorched earth time I guess...
@Finalomega/Majormer fyi
I've seen that with ECM and Mass Upgrade. Your headers from the project does not match the headers from the current version of the game you have. Either the starter project is more recent than the game, or the other way around. And some method either changed signature or no longer exists
In my case it was caused by the AFGBuildableTrainPlataform, one method both mods used to use was removed and replaced by a different one, with a similar purpose
that is quite possible. iirc I had been getting it on CL368883 when playing on CL368883. I still haven't updated my client yet and I have been winding back to an earlier commit when working on mods and not SML

@Marcio <Checkers/Copier/WallSup> , I think that helped. It is getting me over some of the hump. 🙂 Appreciate the feedback.
