There are various dlls that do 3D. For example, the debugtext.dll (or something like that) takes care of text and CAMERA commands.

and are we able to call these commands and use them to draw 3D of our own using DBP?
I have no idea what you're trying to ask here.

Open the dll's with Resource Hacker. This will allow you to view the dll's string table which has a list of the commands taht are in the dll.

If you mean like seeing code for the dll, then I would say that you have no chance. I am sure that TGC has their dll's encrypted so that you can't do that.

I don't think you need to hack the DLLs to do that. DmitryK has a plugin that allows vertex manipulation, so try that out.

Hope I've helped!

P.S. We really need an abbreviation of "manipulation".

DBPro3DDebug.dll is the 3D engine module.

There is no need to encrypt it, since the code is compiled. If you want to view the machine code instructions then that is quite easy - but they won't mean much to anyone.

You don't. You can't get the original source code from the DLL

Learn to use memblocks, then meshes in memblocks, and then extend that to object manipulation.

That 'gibberish' is the compiled source code amongst other things. You're not going to find any nice human-readable source code in the DLL.
