You can either:

1. Get visual C++ and then read the document located at C:\Program Files\Dark Basic Software\Dark Basic Professional\Help\documents\1 Third Party Commands.htm

or

2. Get Purebasic and read the tutorials in the last two newsletters.

or

3. Get another language that is capable of producing the correct type of DLLs, and ask someone to teach you

Unless you are relatively experienced with a language that fits into the above categories, I wouldn't bother worrying about writing any DLLs just yet. Master what you have first.

Also, if you're looking for a specific type of functionality to add to DarkBASIC Professional, someone else may have already developed such a TPC DLL. Could ask what you're looking for and someone may have a solution.

Not sure about your section question (the exploration) but you wouldn't really make a lightmapping DLL as such. You're much better off buying/developing a standalone lightmapping application like gile[s] (or the light.exe part of cshop).

You could write a lightmapper in DBP itself - I'm not entirely sure why you'd want lightmapping through a DLL.


I think the taxis are bulletproof
