Okay. Dark Basic Collision is not doing it for me. I got Sparky's DLL and put it in the user file. Now what? I do not understand how DLL's work, and I'd appreciate a quick simple explanation if anyone is feeling kind.

Well put the .DLL file in the 'plugin user' folder and put the .INI file in the 'Keywords' folder. next time you start darkbasic try one of the commands and it should turn blue.

hope i helped

INI and DLL are both in place, but it won't recognize the commands, nor turn the code blue. Any ideas on what I could be doing wrong?

Try just compiling this:



If that doesn't work, your files probably aren't in the right place. "SC_Collision.dll" needs to go in "Compiler/plugins-user" and "SC_Collision.ini" needs to go in "Editor/Keywords".

If it does work, you probably weren't typing the commands right. Sparky's commands have no spaces and have the SC_ prefix on them.

Yay It works, thank you. Is there a list of the commands somewhere? I looked for a file with them but can't seem to find anything...

There should be help files included in the download. If you can't find them, open the .ini file in notepad, it has a list .

DLL's are Dynamic Link Libraries. If you ever modded Quake 2 you would be using the game source, compile the DLL and put it in a certain directory. DLL's are used and so are libraries, but with a library, you need a header file.

There are 2 ways to develop for the N64:
1. Develop C code with PsyQ SDK and illegal Nintendo libs
2. Develop C code with legal kits, such as the Ground Zero devkit (g0dev.zip)
