Would the porting process require access to the original source? Or could you wrap it in some way? I'm very interested in WOLF's enhanced animation plugin for example, but expecting the original developer to invest the extra time on a port is a little unrealistic.

Congratulations on the release of what should be TGC's flagship product.

The unfortunate situation is that a plugin written originally for DBP or DGDK, would need to be converted to work correctly with DGDK.NET. This does require the source. The reason for this is that the plugin code must be wrapped into a managed class that inherits from a class called CDGDKPlugin. This exposes the interface to allow plugins to work. Without it, your plugin will not run.

Oh, and thanks .

Paul.

Well done Paul. Something I've been after for a long time.

I Agree, this is one of the best things TGC have released for a while.

I'm converting the ODE physics plugin originally available for DBP to work under the DGDK.NET. It will basically provide the exact same functionality as the original DBP plugin. I'll post this up when it's finished.

Cool, I could use ODE in .net with one of my projects.

Now, if my download will just get approved, I can get started.
