- Upgraded Griffirrs 's PPFixer tool to handle PurePLUGIN 1.5 changes.

@ Freddix - excellent, thanks.

You know how you have to call this plugin in your dba and put some null functions in as well - is there any way to avoid this in a future release? not essential, true, but would be nice...

(it's already available)

Now, it's no more needed to call the PurePLUGIN.dll function to make it be included by DarkBASIC Professioanl compiler.

Check the PureSCROLLING sample.
It uses DarkBASIC Professional compiler's DLL dependencies system.
The plugin itself force compiler to include the needed DLL ...

You can do this for your own plugin.
PurePLUGIN.DLL is always needed but it will be included in background by the compiler without the need to call a function from it.

@ Freddix,

Let's say I produced a 3d object and wanted to include it in a shared purebasic dll to be used in DBPro ie. object file gets wrapped up in dll and not outside it - is there anyway to do this in purebasic?

I think you can include it in 2 separate things.
1. The object MESH
2. The Object texture in RAW format (memblock image format)
Include the files within your PurePLUGIN DLL with this command in the DATASECTION :

; **************************************************************
DataSection
TEXTURE: IncludeBinary "Medias\Flame.raw" ; Note the size to use it for memblock transfert
MESH: IncludeBinary "Medias\snow.raw" ; Note the size to use it for memblock transfer
EndDataSection

After this simply create memblock of the good size for your image, create image from memblock, create a second memblock for the mesh and create the mesh from memblock using the freshly created texture.

I hope this explanation will help you.

Regards,
Fred

@ Freddix - brilliant thanks - only one question - what is the RAW format? how do I convert a .x or .3ds geosphere mesh into something that can be include binary? (thanks in advance)

[edit] - also, how do I note the size for both the mesh then the texture and how do I shift each binary include into a memblock? cant figure it out...

In fact, both convertion must be done with DBPro.
Create Memblock From Mesh
Create Memblock from Image
(save memblock and use the saved file in your DLL)
Do the reverse when use in DBPro from your DLL ...
