I could have sworn that i read AppGameKit 2 Tier 1 could now call DLLs... but i searched the forum and the command list and couldn't find anything.

What's up? Can I call DLLs from AppGameKit Tier 1, and if so , how?

Taken from a PluginTest example

In the app folder, there is media and your main file.
- create a plugins directory
- Create another directory on what the plug ins reference - in this example, a folder all ExamplePlugin

Inside that folder is where all your DLLs go

To use..

DLL's are referenced as 'Plugins', it maybe possible to call some dll functions directly by creating the necessary 'commands.txt' to set the functions and data types but strings will need special handling so for string related functions you would need to write a wrapper dll

my libary plugin can call functions directly but it has limitations, it was a experiment to see if it could be done, it does work but with limits, im not sure if it would work very well with the steam api it may need a direct wrapper.

info on plugins can be found here: https://www.appgamekit.com/documentation/guides/14_plugins.htm

I am putting this on all my steam and dll related posts, for other seekers...

This by adambiser allows AppGameKit tier 1 to do steam achievements:
