You still need to pay for it, you just cant charge people for your work unless you buy a commercial license.

I read the entire thread and i saw no mention about 2005....except the "express" edition... this is the full version...

or did you mean mentioned many many time in other threads...
i don't read this board much at all...

[edit] nvm, read a different thread and seems like it will still need some work...

i can also get visual studio 2003... maybe i'll just switch to that...

Hi, I recently purchased the Dark GDK... I was wondering if there was any documentation available? Sorry if this was already asked somewhere. I am familiar with programming, so I don't need the very basics, I am just relatively new to Dark GDK/DBPro and am wondering where I can see docs similar to the ones I had with my DBC demo? Thanks.

common people are walking in line.

Ok, I found out about the sample pack, I really can't download a 30+ mb file. Does anyone have *just* the docs, that'd be so helpful!

Not currently, but support for the express edition in the next update is one of the biggest priorities. So it will be added soon I believe.

I believe it will work if you install the platform sdk and a few other bits and pieces

Here's a question that could do with an answer : Has the bug fixing started yet for the GSDK ?

I sure hope not . Im guessing they are taking a wee little break before getting down and dirty with the bugs. Although I think it was lee himself who said he would be working on this (bugs) last weekend and all this week. Kinda a shame we didnt hear anything from him like "sorry guys, gonna have to delay my original plans, we will start bug week on day x".

What can you do?... hmm...

All you need is zeal

I've moved this into here from the original sticky thread.

I've said this in numerous threads, but I will state it crystal clear right here. ALL plugins that worked with DGDK (C++), or worked with DBP, need to be recompiled using the new CDGDKPlugins class that is available via the Redist/Plugins tools provided with DGDK.NET. This means that any plugin that was originally written for DGDK C++, or written for DBP, will not directly work with DGDK.NET without any changes.

I myself are currently working on converting my CSM importer plugin to work with DGDK.NET, I'm also working to convert the DBP ODE physics plugin to work with DGDK.NET. I have also helped an individual to convert (some) of the functions from the Newton library to work with DGDK.NET. Given some time, all three plugins will be ready to work with DGDK.NET.

So, if you need a plugin running with DGDK.NET, you will need at least one thing! The C++ source code for the original plugin. The reason why this is necessary, is because the DGDK.NET requires authentication by any .NET application. Once this authentication process has passed, the DGDK.NET interface objects can be passed into a plugin so that itself can call the necessary functions to make the plugin work. A DBP plugin, or a DGDK plugin is linked differently to the main engine code, and therefore will not work directly with DGDK.NET.

I will do my best to get as many plugins converted to DGDK.NET, but I will not be able to do it alone, and I will also need source code to do it. If you want me to support your plugin on DGDK.NET, let me know and I will try to accomodate you.

Hope this clears this issue up.

Paul.

ok, i upgraded to the oct 2006 DXSDK (a gigantic freakin update from M'soft ~522MB) and after the installation, it took out the compile & link errors for the samples projects like Example 1, etc..., except:
quart.lib error. it was still there.

so, i put it as an exclude in the:
[properties>linker>input>ignore specific library] section of the specific project to be built (e.g. example 1) and added it to the atls.lib, i.e. atls.lib;quartz.lib.
and voila! the projects all compile and run as well. make sure to put all the exe's creaded in the SAME folder location where the samples "media" folder is at, otherwise, u'll not be able to run the exe's like Example 1 and so on. u can ck ur code and u'll see that's what needs to be done anyway. just some stupid stuff i needed to do to make it work i guess. enjoy. the DGSDK looks really fast and definitely a great piece of SW ! i'm enjoying developing with it now, i hope u do too
thnks
