I'm converting some code from the IncaPro demo over to C++ for the GDK, and I used dbLimbName. When I went to compile, the compiler informed me that dbLimbName doesn't take 2 arguments. According to the DarkGDK documentation, the prototype for dbLimbName is



and so I'm calling it like so:



However, the prototype, according to DarkSDKBasic3D.h, is:



So my question is, is this a problem of the documentation being out of date, or the prototype? Do I need to call it somewhat like this:



Or can I remove the DWORD var from the prototype, and will it function properly?

Thanks.

Still use the return value for your string, but just pass NULL or 0 as the argument for the OldString.

Guldan, are you going to make the dgdk c++ port of IncaDemo available to other people?

I have vague plans for World Domination

Well I wasn't intending to port the entire demo, I was using some of the world loading code for the game I'm working on, for an easier way for me to load maps, handle entities, etc.

But, that's not a bad idea. I may see what I can do about porting the entire demo. Wouldn't be that hard. I'll go over all the code a bit more after I get home from work and let you guys know about it.
