Hello all, I have 2 questions about X10.

1) is the source code available for purchase, for the purpose of extending functionality.

2) was it written in VB, c++, or .net?

Or is there some way to interface with it like lua script.

it was written in darkbasic professional x10, which hasn't been commercially released. You wouldn't be able to compile it without dbpro x10.

It is not written in VB. It is written in DBPro's programming language.

Heres the breakdown of what its coded it:
Machine Langauge>Assembly>C++>Dark Basic Pro X10>FPS Creator X10

So you need DBP X10 to edit the source, but since they did not intend in releasing it, that might become a problem.

From what I have seen written by Lee on the forums, I am assuming that the source code will not be available. He is only supporting what is called Version 1 with source code and I would assume the final release of version 1.09 before the "great" migration will have source code available. After version 1.09 is released, he will make a migration of code from both X10 and X9 into one version; probably version 2.0 and there probably will be no source code available.

More importantly, to what executable code does X9 and X10 compile? Only Lee knows for sure. My guess is that both X9 and X10 versions first are compiled into a DBP version as I believe it was written in DBP. However, there still needs to be a compilation of DBP into executable code for the computer to understand. Since Direct X is utilized my guess would be a language that recognizes Direct X and also can compile directly into an executable file (a file with an exe extension).

No. DBP uses LUA through a plug-in called UNITY.
