ckMousehook issues.. Thread last updated on 2006-03-31 14:20:10

Whenever I try to run a skin that uses Mousehook, I get this message..

Error: Could not find initModuleEx().

Please confirm that the dll is a litestep module, and check with the author for updates.

Now, I have gotten the latest version of mousehook (That I can find), and have placed it in.. the C:/Litestep folder, the /modules folder, and three seperate mousehook folders in the /modules area, including the addres it says it can't read it from. What do I need to do to fix it?

What version of LS are you running?

The one I got off here, about two weeks ago.

This is from the ckhotspots module, right? First, make sure you're using the newest version of that module (ckhotspots-2.3.3 I believe). In the older version, I believe mousehook can't be in the same directory as the ckhotspots dll.

I replaced all my older versions of Mousehook with the 2.3.3, and am still getting the erorrs.

I just do all my hotspots with xlabel now; that's one potential solution.

Only thing is, I keep gettign the error message (I'm still new to LS, so I dunno much about editing).

paste the line from your step.rc that is loading the module.

As I said, I'm new to Litestep, so I'm not sure where that would be. WOuld it be okay if I were to post the entire thing somewhere for you all?

The configuration is text based *.rc files. Do a recursive text search in your litestep folder for the dll name.

To understand recursion, you must first understand recursion.

No base case, Boreas. *shakes head*. My mind is now locked in an endless loop, and it's all your fault.

I guess it's time to learn about litestep.

read "release_notes.txt" from the 0.24.7 archive.
read http://wiki.litestep.com/
read http://beyondconvention.net/ohussain/ots.htm

Until then, don't use a 'theme' that uses the 'mousehook'. :)
