SDK Panel not visible. Impossible to load mods #77

Closed luxmanifestus closed 8 months ago

luxmanifestus commented 1 year ago

The SDK panel is not visible after pressing the ~ key. Also, the window for loading mods at startup does not respond to mouse clicks and is only visible for 2 seconds before being obscured by the game menu. The mod.ini file is also not present. It is impossible to choose mods to load.

Make sure dinput8.dll and ZHMModSDK.dll are in the Retail folder. Also make sure you are limiting your use of third-party overlays, that issue is tracked here: https://github.com/OrfeasZ/ZHMModSDK/issues/39. If you are still having issues please list what game version you're on (Steam, Epic, Xbox PC) and your OS, it shouldn't make a difference for this mod but it may be helpful to know for troubleshooting.

Hmmm. I've got both dinput8.dll and ZHMModSDK.dll in the retail folder and I am not running any third-party overlays. I'm running Hitman on Epic with: Edition Windows 11 Home Version 22H2 Installed on ‎8/‎2/‎2023 OS build 22621.2215 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22662.1000.0

Strange, I am not really sure maybe someone else can chime in? For me I run on the Xbox PC version same version of windows as you. Does Epic has an in-game overlay? Maybe that could be interfering. Also, Discord's overlay may mess with the mod as well (make sure you don't have that enabled in Discord for this game). Other than that I'm not sure what else to do other than trying a clean install. If you have the space you can move your real Hitman WOA folder some where else as a backup and try this mod with a reinstall. I don't think any other mods for SMF have conflicting issues like this but it's good to try as a troubleshooting measure to cover all bases.

Just wondering if you have found any fix. I have the exact same issue.

luxmanifestus commented 12 months ago

Unfortunately not. I've been able to quickly select the mod and enable it while the UI was visible but it is very difficult to do. A tip would be to delete or remove all the mods that come available with it (they are located in Retail --> mods folder), leaving the mod file you want to enable there (only three are shown on the UI at a time). You should only have enough time to quickly enable one mod. Good luck.

Not sure if it's how it works but you can try adding the mods you want to mods.ini directly by using the scheme in the file. For instance, if you are trying to added Freelancer Variations but find that the UI disappears too fast you can try adding [freelancervariations] followed by a new line. Essentially, take the name of the dll file, put it in lowercase, remove .dll, then add the brackets. Should look like this: image

Edit: Though, if you are having UI issues still I wouldn't recommend enabling DebugMod or AdvancedRating since they are unusable without the UI. You should find use for everything else here though.

Uninstalling and re installing the game didn't work for me, so don't try that because it took up a lot of time downloading.

luxmanifestus commented 11 months ago

RGB00255, thank you. It woked!

OrfeasZ commented 11 months ago

Can you try with the ZHMModSDK-Release version from here?

If the UI still doesn't show, try the Debug version and let me know what you see in the console window.

luxmanifestus commented 11 months ago

I can't seem to download anything from your link.

You need to be logged in I believe. It's at the bottom under Artifacts.

It works perfectly! I can see the UI when I enter `
