I am working on a dll for dbc(maybe for dbp later) that has a whole new set of commands/functions to help game developers.
Some types of commands/functions that it will have:
3d functions(matrices,movement,etc...)
2d functions
Simple text commands
Other stuff...

I might post some codes using it later to show you how it works.
Please post suggestions and ideas.
One thing i really need is ideas for new commands.

Cool, I think one thing that alot of people could use, is some good, easy collision.

Well, he did say dll, so most likely C++ or another dll capable language, which rules out DB

I know something that would make your DLL rise to the top, easy networking/multiplayer! Maybe some commands that will create a game easily, or all player data to the other machine, maybe even a command to check for games and print their IP's!

Yeah, an include file is actually a Static Linked Library, rather than a Dynamic one...

But still, if you make a library of decent commonly-used functions, if there's any way I can help (i.e., tweaking?) I'd love to

I would love to see some good fast sliding collision, that is easy to use, and will work on oddly shaped objects, or even enterior areas.

I think what you have done is just changed the ".DBA" extension to ".DLL" yes it will load but its not a dll its just normal DarkBasic Code. But good luck on your Code Library, should be able to help some people.

I would say, that if your using DB to code your DLL, then just go with a DBA file, that way more people will be able to use it, because some people (me included) do not have the DB enhancment pack, so we cannot take advantage of DLL's, however everybody can include a DBA file! Just my $0.02.

Yes but as i said we are working on a much more powerfull one.
Thats also gonna have many easy to use commands and right now we have pretty much commands.

And we have a really cool command that let you make collision! And it almost sliding! And you can make that kind of collision with only 1 single command!!

But our include file will not support mulitplayer as far as i know.

our "collision" command doesn´t work with .x files. Only boxes and that kind off stuff.
And then you have to call it for every single box you want to make a collision with. I´m working on it though
And we are going to have a lot more commands (than 10!) when we´re done

Why yes, I think so. I'll try and test it sometime, although it might be hard because every time I change resolution the internet disconnects .

Ok, after many disconnections I can safely say it does work. I managed to get a client example working in dbc with a server example(dbpro). The only problem with DBC is that it can't use constants, and entering the dll function names directly would be hard because they are hard to remember . One way to do it would be to store the function names in strings, which works fine unless you want to use dll calls inside functions. Of course, what I could do is give each DLL function its own function inside a dba file, which would work great.
