I'm still working on adding support for Dark Dynamix.. which has 475 commands for me to wade through.

Dark Occlusion is not supported at this time because it is not a real plugin. If you want to see this product available for DarkGDK 2.0 then please e-mail the author and ask him to release a DarkBasic Professional-compatible plugin DLL.

I would suggest you synchronise release of RC3 with the DarkDynamix 1.1 update which will amend the command list. Get in touch with Matty H, he'll might send you current commands before the actual update is released.

That's ridiculous, I also expressed my concern that it should be released as a proper dll instead of client->server nonsense. Unfortunately the developer said he does not know how to pack it up into a full DBP plugin.

Hi Mistrel, sorry about all those commands

v1.1 currently has an extra 65 commands and there may be a few more

so it might be a good idea to do v1.1. Hopefully any future updates will not be this large.

I would think it would be up to the developer of the plugin to make it available for DarkGDK 2, would save you some work. Although I guess you want to be certain all the plugins are available at this early stage for GDK 2.

Most of the time it's not that big of a deal. It's only when I have to wrap a physics library that it's a major headache. And this is the third one I've done so far.

Also, your string tables don't always define the parameters and their names so I have to cross-reference every command in the help file.

@Mistrel: I left you some offline skype messages concerning some problems (possible bugs) I have been experiencing. You seem not to be online for the last 2 days, so I thought I would post it here, so it get's reviewed before RC3.

Cheers,

Any news Matt?

I haven't got a response on Skype so I will post the bugs here:

- SC_Start(); Isn't wrapped in the dgdk-dbpcollision.h file. (edit: haliop posted this before me, this is a confirmation)
- dbLoadObject is experiencing loading problems with DBO files (Tried loading it with dbLoadStaticObjects with no luck either), my debugger returns:

In your documentation it states it works only with a number of formats except DBO? Both DBP and DarkGDK 1.0 load DBO's perfectly.

- Found an error in your documentation (very small really

):

Under the command: dbKeyState you link the user to: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms645540.aspx , but that link can't be found, I believe you mean this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms927178.aspx . Could you provide us with an example of using dbKeyState, cuz the normal keystates from DBP and DarkGDK 1.0 don't seem to work. Also the ones which are defined in <windows.h> don't have any effect as well.

Cheers,

SC_Start();

however it dosent work..
for some reason the compiler cause the error.

edit : got it working

2nd edit: got it working but no collision detection working yet..
guess i'll wait for the update.. this sux.

You have to rebuild the engine with plugins. See here for a video with instructions:

http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=196868&b=22

This is also covered in the documentation.

The parameters for this function have changed. Please refer to the documentation first whenever you think a command might be broken.

Support for Dark Dynamix will be very much appreciated, so thank you for all the hard work you are putting in. I have already bought this today in anticipation and started messing around a little. Seems absolutely superb so far.

[Edit]Apologies for reviving what looks to be an old thread having arrived here via searching for Dark Dynamix and DarkGDK![/Edit]
