 Posted: Wed Apr 15, 2015 10:57 am Post subject: winapi.dll could not be found |
 |
|
a friend of mine made a script for automated fishing (throwing the lure - waiting for fish - catch - throw again - and so on) and it works perfectly for him. However when I try to use it, I get an error:
| Code: | Error:error loading module 'winapi' from file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Cheat Engine 6.4\winapi.dll':
Das angegebene Modul wurde nicht gefunden.
|
(the german roughly translates as "the selected module could not be found")
Although I downloaded the winapi.dll and put it in my CE folder, the error keeps appearing.
He then told me to use the 32bit version of CE (cheatengine-i386.exe) as administrator, but that also didn't help.
The next thing we did was he zipped his entire CE folder and sent it to me so we had the exact same client files (because the structure of our folders looked quite different), but even this didn't solve the problem.
Anyone got an idea how to fix this? Do I have to compile the file by myself?
If it helps, this is the script: http://codepad.org/Z8DqwzRV

try extracting his ce folder somewhere else (e. g c:\ce) and post the error message you get then.

do you have anything lua related installed on your system? Something that overrides the lua paths? Because it should have looked in clibs32

I didn't but maybe my friend (who sent me his CE client), in my client there isn't even a clibs32 folder

No lua installs done other than CE itself.
Perhaps compiling your own winapi.dll using MinGW/gcc?
Source:
https://github.com/stevedonovan/winapi
edited GCC script:
| Code: | REM compiling for mingw against msvcrt
# set LUA_DIR=D:\dev\lua\luajit-2.0\src
set LUA_INCLUDE=C:\Users\Acen\Desktop\lua\ce\lua\include #download ce source
set LUA_LIB=C:\Program Files (x86)\Cheat Engine 6.4\lua5.1-32.dll #from normal ce 6.4 install
set CFLAGS=-c -O1 -DPSAPI_VERSION=1 -I"%LUA_INCLUDE%"
C:\MinGW\bin\gcc %CFLAGS% winapi.c
C:\MinGW\bin\gcc %CFLAGS% wutils.c
C:\MinGW\bin\gcc -Wl,-s -shared winapi.o wutils.o "%LUA_LIB%" -lpsapi -lMpr -o winapi.dll
pause |
No idea on why it only works on my machine.
Edit: This is the file in question: https://hostr.co/zlXuOtVGbNJB

i can't test it here, but that dll is only 55 kb, but if it uses msvcrt that means it's dynamic linking to it insttead of static linking.
so, chris20194 needs to have the visual studio runtime installed(the exact same version) , and perhaps other dll's as well (seeing you used mingw perhaps he needs cygwin as well)
edit:
I looked at the imports
You'll need the following dll's to use this:
msvcrt.dll (must be the same version)
libgcc_s_dw2.dll (this one is gonna be fun to find)
lua5.1-32.dll (should be easy)
try compiling with -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++ and -static-libgcc or add that library to the ce folder

Ok I'm a little confused here, how do I install all these? Isn't it enough if i just use his CE client with all the .DLL in it?

he needs to compile the dll with the libraries statically linked (the dll will grow to several hundred KB)
or you'll need to find these dll's and put them in the library search path (e.g ce's directory or c:\windows\system32 )

Unfortunately, I have no idea what I'm doing with compiling anything.
I've uploaded those dlls (though the libgcc dll is actually named libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll for some reason).
