[edit] more or less working version of plugin - first ini file then dll file now posted below - 25/6/07

here is the ini file so you can see some of the currently supported commands - as you can see I havnt finished the ini file and no way will I be able to do supporting help html...

basically a few hopefully useful text and system commands and a hell of a lot of image/bitmap commands...

and here is the finished .dll

the dll needs to go in the plugins-user directory and the .ini file needs to go in the help/keywords directory...

now working on seamless texture commands and (hopefully) more drawing to image commands and (very hopefully) some fractal terrain/heightmap commands...

it is still only alpha ie. fresh and untested

I've released PurePLUGIN 1.4 and I tried to compile your plugin with PureBASIC 4.10b2 + PurePLUGIN 1.4 and commands I tried did work.
Send me a sample that reproduct the problem.
Don't forget that you must include "Null = PP Initialized()" at the beginning of your code to force Compiler to include PurePLUGIN.DLL

yes but you did forgot the "Compiler Includes".
When you use a commands from another DLL, the compiler don't know that you did use it. You must tell it that you use these DLLs by adding 1 command from each of these DLLs in your source code.
Otherwise, your plugin will search in memory a function that was not loaded and then ... crash !

@ Freddix - done all of that - and my plugin commands are now mostly working - but the df get home dir() type commands generate 4 characters of gibberish before giving the rest of the string of the correct directory... any ideas?

yes because there is a specific way to return string. It work the same way you receive string.

When you want to send a string back to DBPro, you must tell him to allocate string len + 1 bytes, copy you string in and return the pointer to the string.
It gives this result :

@ Freddix - I see. I'll need to make some serious revisions to the plugin but this makes sense - thank you for answering all the questions...

If you don't want to copy this several times, simply create a MACRO
A special ProcedureReturnString Macro for example :p

@ Freddix - keeping it simple, can you see anything wrong with this bit of purebasic code:-



[edit] Doh! I spotted it - you missed a "\" in the "*GlobPtrCreateDeleteString" you sent me in your code clip above and email - of course it should be "*GlobPtr\CreateDeleteString". will try it again now...

@Duffer:
Do you agree if I host a copy of your plugin @ Odyssey-Creators as a PurePLUGIN sample ?
