Download http://winch.dbspot.com/dll_move.php

Moves unwanted dlls in the compilerplugin dir to compilerplugins-bakup directory so dbpro can't inculde them into the exe.

I have managed to cut 2mb off some 2d sprite based projects by moving some dlls out. This is just an easier and quicker way instead of doing it by hand.

I don't have any 3d projects to test on so there may be no size decreases there.

it's cool to hate

Cuz its a demo that lasts for 40 days then stops you re-installing it so after 40 days i won't be able to open rar files.

If I remember correctly you should be able to use it after 40 days - just keeps coming up with a message.

I'm not sure, but I think the program could cause problems for those using the DBPro Interface - I always activate all DLL's (as I'm too lazy to work out which ones I wont be needing). Removing the wrong ones would prevent the DLL working correctly.

IanM would need to confirm whether this is true or not though.

Added a zip version, there should be free programs about to extract rar files. There is a simple dbpro app that uses un-rar.dll here http://winch.dbpcommunity.com/un-rar.exe

Sometimes the compiler adds dlls you don't need, I mostly write 2d games and when you look in the dbpdata folder in the temp directory the compiler often adds the conv*.dlls to the exe. It appears to be worse when you have a sprite game that uses memblocks.

Start the dll_move program and uncheck some dlls. Click the move dll button and the unchecked dll files will be moved from dbprocompilerplugins to dbprocompilerplugins-bakup so the compiler can't add them to the exe.
After you have compiled and tested the game click select all then move dlls and all the checked dlls will be moved back into dbprocompilerplugins.

I think that I'll be using this myself.

@TCA, if you don't allow DBPro to include a DLL that you are using with the Interface Library, the app will terminate. You just need to let people know which DLLs your plug-in is relying on.

For free Plug-ins, source and the DBPro Interface library for Visual C++ 6 and .NET

Updated, now moves .fx files from compiler\effects. And works better when dbp installed in non-default location.

when you're program is just running fine, can you exclude the debug dll's ?

No the debug dlls are required, I presume they only have debug in the name from a time when tgc where including debuging info in them.
