Looking at perhaps buying PureGDK...

[edit] and do I buy PureGDK, PureGDK Upgrade, or do I have to buy them both!?!?

Original PureGDK supports PureBasic v4.31 only (statically linked). You can get DarkGDK 2.0 (which is built on top of PureGDK and currently is at RC4) but it's developer has gone AWOL and future of the project is unclear.

@ Olby,

You can but only if you get DarkGDK 2.0 it links dynamically with C/C++, PB and in the future Java and C# if the developer returns and finishes it off. If I were you I would sit back and wait, we haven't heard from him in a while (actually since August).

I upgraded PureBasic 4.60 this morning with last release v5.0
Compilations of my old projects using DarkGDK 2.0-RC4 with new PB v5.0 are realised without any problem

@ Billy33,

That's good to know. So I would need to purchase and download PureGDK and then DarkGDK 2.0-RC4 (but without the PureGDK upgrade download)?

One thing is I have already downloaded and tried to install DarkGDK 2.0-RC4 but it just does not install as an .exe - is this because I have not already downloaded and installed PureGDK?

You don't need PureGDK to use DarkGDK these are separate products. Just get the GDK 2.0 RC4 free version and see if it works.

When I download the GDK 2.0 RC4.exe and try and run it from desktop it just hangs (you can see the process but it's doing nothing) ie. it does not install from the desktop - do I need to run the install from a specific folder?

[edit]

Nope - tried everything - just times out as a dead process and does not install....

Might be a dodgy download, I remember he had some issues with corrupt downloads (server cancelled download requests half way through).

Downloads fine. It's when I try and run the install exe it just does the blue revolving circle thang a few times and then just sits there...

@ Duffer,
I am registered user of PureGDK/DarkGDK, and i use commercial release DGDK v2.0-RC4 (DarkGDK commercial single-seat license). It's not the same .exe than beta RC4.
I remember that free releases from Mistrel were time limited..., so i supose you are in this case

@ Billy33,

Thanks for the reply.

Does that mean if I just bought the paid-for DarkGDK v2.0 from Mistrel's site, (and not PureGDK at all) then I could use DBPro stuff within PureBasic v.5? (I'm a bit nervous ordering stuff from Mistrel's site when he's 'not at home' - unless, I suppose, it's automatic?)

Like I told you make sure the file size is around 93MB. I downloaded it and it runs just fine, although it says it has expired. So unless you buy the commercial license (which will never expire) you're out of luck for now.

@ Olby,

Don't get that message when I try and install the beta, don't get anything.

If I bought the full single license version from Mistral's site, would I then need PureGDK or would the purchase from Mistral's site be good on it's own (for, in part, use in v5 Purebasic)?

You only need DarkGDK (from Mistrel's website).

@Olby: Looks like you have given up hope too for Dark GDK 2.0's re-incarnation ....... there is no Dark GDK 2.0 banner any more in your signature.

Well spotted In fact in recent years PureBasic has stepped up it's 3D support and now it has all the commands one needs to create a decent game. I will be looking into using PB's internal engine (it's based on OGRE and Bullet physics). I can't wait any longer for GDK 2.0 becoming a reality, unfortunately.
