This is the first Darkbasic Pro plugin I've used, and I'm not quite sure what I need to do in order to use it. In the help files it says that I have to have the command EXT INITIALIZED() at the top of my source code for it to work, but when I try to compile it I get the error "Could not understand command at line..."

What might I be doing wrong?

It looks like it returns a value so try something like:
a = Ext Initialized()

Then I think you're supposed to handle it if is hasn't worked so something like:
a = Ext Initialized()
if a <> 1
Print "Error starting extends"
Print "Exiting"
wait 5000
end
endif

Hope that helps

Fantastic, you're exactly right! I also found that commands (such as B3D MAKE OBJECT) need to have their parameters in parenthesis.

Glad it worked.

Yeah I noticed that as well. Extends is a great plugin but unfortunately it is a little bit out of date and some of the commands don't work but I love it's pixel perfect sprite collision.
