Perhaps this had been answered before, but I just couldn´t find it somewhere around.
How is FPSC exactly affiliated with DBPro?
Ist the editor built using DBPro technologie?Is the DBPro compiler used for creating the game executables?

FPSC is "made" with DBPRO and a sprinkling off C++


Create? Play? YOU Decide

Yes. It is. That's why everyone was saying that it'd help finding and sorting problems with DBPro.

Isn't it? Wasn't it? Marvellous!

The 3D part of FPSC was made in DBPro, and the engine etc. The actual editor is made in C++, and has a DBP window docked for the drag and drop display I think.

Yeah, I already thought of this
Do you mean the main editor part is coded in C++ but the embedded 3D-view is DBPro. If yes do someone knows (or has heard) how they communicate with each other.

I know of a way you can do this, not sure if its done this way by TGC, but hey. If you have a look at one of the new expansion packs, it includes what are called filemapping commands. What these do is take a part of memory, stores stuff in it, and makes it possible for you to reference it as a file, but because its in RAM, its very quick. It's also non-protected, so two or more apps can access the same part of memory. In this way you share the memory between the 2 apps, and pass information between the 2.

Kentaree - that's exactly how we do it with the file mapping commands .

Basically we have 2 programs - the editor interface written in C++ and the DB Pro application. When the editor is launched it runs the DB Pro application which hooks up to a window of the editor to then be displayed. The editor and DB Pro application can then send messages to each other for example the editor may notify the DB Pro application that a toolbar button has been clicked on.

The editor interface is there as a front end for the GUI because it wasn't possible to create what we wanted in DB Pro. Everything else you see has been made in DB Pro.
