I notice some classes misses the "Exist" function, I've read DBPro help and I know that they are present in DBPro. These are the the missing functions:

-CameraExist
-TerrainExist

If you've read the OOP Wrapper thread, you know whate me and MudBug are doing. This function is really important to the Wrapper. Any workaround to know if a object exists given its ID?

We're hoping to make a Christmas Technology Preview release (or a New Year's), so I hope somebody can help me!

Thanks in advance!

Huh, it appears the C++ DGDK is missing those too. How odd

if its not in the c++ lib version, its definitely not in the dgdk.net, and is a question for Lee and Mike

I've not tried this personally, but for the camera function, try calling the GetCameraInternalData function. If it returns 0 for a camera object, chances are, it doesn't exist.

I can't help on the Terrain side of things as I've based all DGDK.NET functionality on what is exposed by the original DGDK toolkit.

While we are on it, i noticed that this command:

oDB3D.MakeObjectPlane()

is spelled wrong... or it was done on purpose. Im pretty sure it should have been:

oDB3D.MakeObjectPlain()

This is from .NET. Don't know if it's also the case in C++ lib.

Thanks for the info everyone.

Apex: I'm already using this workaround. Will have to figure out something for Terrain. So, both functions aren't exposed even by C++ DGDK? (Sorry, I only own DBPro and DGDK.NET, so I can't say anything about it).

James Bondo: Yeah, that's Odd. In our Wrapper the class is called DarkPlain, for a more "DBPro Compatibility".

I'll add the Plain version for the next release of DGDK.NET. It was exposed in the C++ version but I obviously neglected to add the additional fix. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I'll see if the Terrain and camera exist functions can also be fixed.

James Bondo: Make Object Plane has been wrong since Dark Basic Classic Lee just left it that way so every other version would be compatible with the next

Does C++ DGDK have a WriteLong method for File? Because DBPro has it and DGDK.NET is missing it.

Ah, didnt know that. After i read that i went to wikipedia:

Plane (mathematics), theoretical surface which has infinite width and length, zero thickness, and zero curvature.

Seems like the perfect description
