hi all, i know this is a prett stupid questions but been a while since i looked at dgdk,

At one point was it not possible to create something by :

int tmpobject = dbMakeObjectSphere (10,10,10);

or something similar? seemed more logical and i swear it was changed to work this way but could be mistaken?

cheers

If i dont know,
I'm sure you will

Hi gdogg2k

If you mean C++ version of DGDK then I dont think it's OOP like you want.

Im using DGDK.NET with DarkEngine from kBessa and that have excately what you are looking for.

i wouldnt consider it to be oop as this kind of assigning is essentially the sames as save x = 10 * 2.

but if dgdk.net does this its a shame i cant swap what my license if for :'-(

i just find having variables to store references to objects etc more intuitive than usings the ID numbers but u work with what you got right

If i dont know,
I'm sure you will

gdogg2k - if you just bought it then try to ask support if you can swap it.

My opinion is that when we buy it it should be both C++ and NET versions we will get

hehe, got it back in 2004 so i guess its unlikely this late on
does the .net version do what i was looking for tho? or does it still work on the basis of object ID's being passed as parameters?

If i dont know,
I'm sure you will

gdogg2k - the .net version are using object ID's but kBessa (here on the forum) has made an wrapper called DarkEngine. It does excately what you want.... thats why I cant make my game without it.

Here is some code from my game:




as you can see.... wonderful OOP

And DarkEngine is free....

Maybe you should search around for the thin C++ wrapper I posted a long while back - it allows you to create (C++) objects to move (DSDK) objects around, without messing with object id's or image id's.

If you have trouble, Morcilla will still have a copy (he's using it for his astronomy project IIRC).

If you still have no luck, then if you don't mind a little wait, I'll try and find the last version I was working on and post it for you.

Well, here it is ... and I couldn't resist cleaning up a little and adding a few goodies.

You'll need DGDK 12/03/2007, and the boost 1.33.1 libraries installed to use it - the rest of the project is self-contained.

That was the interface library - a completely different thing. It allowed you to do with DBPro what you can do now with DGDK ... and still does for me

I still used it for the DBPro version of the CSM importer. Was going to do the same with the 3DWS importer, but I think that Lost In Thought is working on a version now, which helps me now since I can concentrate on DGDK.NET.
