i´ve released my first (useful) DLL
the files.dll (V1.0)

for all, they can´t wait to hear it: it´s FOR FREE!
no credits needed, but would be nice


with the DLL
- you can get easily all filenames and subfolders of a directory (for example: you can list all *.bmp-files of a directory in a string - with file_list)
- you can read the file attributes (write-protection, hidden, ...)
- you can rename folders
- you can count files (for example all .wav-files of a folder) and subfolders

in the DLL are 9 functions. for more exactly information read the documentation on http://wiki.canalize.de/index.php?title=Files.dll
there you can download the dll too!

i´ve just a opensource-licence for the SDK, so i´ve put the sourcecode in the download-package... you´re lucky


if you´ve questions, please post them (or PM me).
and some feedback would be nice too
any suggestions for V2?

Nice work. I tried to make my own but it didn't turn out good. I needed something like this really badly.

I will defintly use this, so expect credit

thanks guys

any wishes for the next version?
or other feedback?

i think i will integrate a function to read "lines" out of a file (limited with a seperator, can be passed as a parameter)

Very useful thing is to read HDD serial number, that way we can easily make perfect protection-activation system. Process is simple:
-Install game.
-run game
-search for HDD number and encrypt it.
-that number you can input in web-activation system and get unique code.
-write that activation code in game field and game can be played.
-on each game start check is it activated, if not allow 10 runs and thats all.

Also if we can get CD-ROM number we could always ask to original CD to be in drive
Thnx

DEX: problem is that if you want to change the HDD the game is on? reminds me on EA-games protections - have this installed (like jick-jack-jaaax) you cannot play it, without tweaking your registers, pawning people etc etc

the other is, getting users OEM code, Xp serial... all can change, so it all has problems...

also, there can be "service" on changing the HDD the game is on

I only need to get HDD number so I can make a nice protection, so if you can do that, retreive HDD I will be gratefull and I will release protection code to the comunity if you agree. I made this system with my old Macromedia games and worked very well. People had chance to change HDD 3 times (on which game is installed) and after that should contact us via email. So that was not problem at all.

This would be great contribution Dex, I would like that you people go ahead and implement some basic copy protection.
