With DBP, not really, but I can't see why it'd be neccessary. It'd be security suicide multiplayer-wise, make it easier to mess with the game files... okay, that's allI can think of, but still

You can't remove them from the exe and put them in the exe dir as it doesn't look for the dlls there.

Sort of does. First you take a normal dbpro exe and it builds a mini exe without the dlls. Then when the mini exe runs it uses the dlls in the compiler folder to build the big exe again and runs it.

I guess if you really wanted to you could do a similar thing but get the dlls from a folder of your chosing. Not sure why you would actually want to do that though.

shrink those dbpro exes
Create patches for your dbpro games

i got my reasons actually it is only a guess as to if it will work but anyway
couldn't you also make manual calls to the dlls (even though i don't really want to do it that way)
here is a hint sys req
and have you ever noticed that if you only use the core commands then the little dbpro watermark isn't there plus that will run on 16 color displays(16 color isn't directx compatible) and that i have ran it on as low as directx3 and it ran fine also it was on win95 with barly any updates

Your spelling and grammar are atrocious.

Anyway, wouldnt giving away the DarkBasic DLLs in your project be a form of pirating?

Actually 0011100000110011 is 00111000 00110011 in which the first one is 8 and the second one is 3.

But it is wrong none the less

There is more than one method of using binary to represent numbers.
1010011 is

There are even more methods than this they are just the most popular.
So it really depends on what method you are taking about.

Back on topic. That would be a form of piracy like he said. So no you should not find a way to make the DBP trial version make fully compiled exes with no watermark. Now when you own DBP I think it would still be illegal as you would be giving away DBP dlls and you would need their permission. Assuming you get their permission then yes I think you could do it if you called the dlls. This is all guess work as I have never tried it because I figured it would be piracy.
