Can you post the code? Remember to leave out the ngc activation numbers if you have the retail version. Use (000000000,000000000,000000000) instead.

1. Dll in the right directory?
2. Have you included the include file?

I'm guessing (2) is OK, as it's trying to load, but failing. That would suggest (1) is the issue, it can't find the Dll.

Yes, make sure the DLL is in the same folder as the EXE file you're building.

StartCollisionPRO(000000000,000000000,.000000000)

should read

StartCollisionPRO(000000000,000000000,000000000)

because that period won't help.

Where did you unzip the collision package? Go to that folder and copy the NGCollision.dll file (Right click on it and select "copy") Go to the folder where your project is building your game EXE file and paste (Right click in that folder and select "paste")

If you cannot find the NGCollision.dll file, open your folder options. ("Tools->Folder Options" and click the "view" tab) and change the settings so the folder will NOT hide DLL files.

The DBP software does not know where the DLL is and there is nothing we can do to make it magically locate the DLL. So... you have to copy and paste it to the location of your building EXE file.

Do the same steps for the NGCollision.dba file.

Then link the NGCollision.dba file (the one you just pasted) in the project manager (as described in the ReadMe.txt file)

There is really nothing we can do to make it any easier.
