I've been playing with this .dll, and so far it's awesome! I'm wondering if others that use this experience a pause between loops when looping music with this .dll (it occurs using media_loop as well). Maybe I'm not setting the .dll up right, or is this pause unavoidable?

@TripleX - I hope you will forgive some ideas (since I haven't tried it yet) but you should know how I am by now.

I remember from Visual Basic some very useful objects that read in various values of the program that could be easily accessed. For example create an object that gets (excuse fake programming below)when project loads

AppInfo //3DGS Project Info Object
{
.ProjectName
.Version
.Path
.Size
.Date
.FreeMem
.NexusSize
.NumberObjects
.... Everything Else
}

then maybe people could use these values like in their script easily

i.e.

Def AvailableMemory = AppInfo.FreeMem
Def ProjectName = AppInfo.Projectname
Def ProjectVersion = AppInfo.Version

String$ = "You are using version " + ProjectVersion + " of " + ProjectName + " which requires 236 MB of Ram. You currently have " + AvailableMemory + " available."

i just threw some random properties but if there are enough properties about a project/system that could be collected into one easy to use object then maybe this idea will be useful.

Could it be used to modify a file within a wrs file once a level file is downloaded from the internet from within the game?

Modifying WRS files isn't anything this DLL, or any other DLL can do. In order to do that, you would have to crack the WRS encryption format, extract the files, edit the one you want, and repack the entire thing. Not even worth the consideration for someone such as you .

Oh.

It would be nice to be able to hide the startup window. I dont mean minimize it
or customize it like you can with pro. But just make it so it either dosent
appear, or is hidden behind a black (full)screen until the engine starts.

Josiah: this is Pro-version royal.. It's one cause people bu Pro but.. hmm.. you'r idea is cool, and i'd just like to change few colors there, If this would be avalailable, I'd use it

Yes the startup window is an ugly thing, you might use a hex editor / debugger
to find a way do away with it, but that is against the license agreement
(reverse engineering). But I cant find in the license agreement where the
startup window is required to be shown in extra or commercial editions. And
since Conitec has stated they dont mind plugins emulating Pro features, this
would be a nice feature. Even if all it did was mask it with a black screen.
Heck I would buy a cheap dll that did only that!

I have even thought about creating a starter program from another app that
starts the game, and presents a full screen image that has the focus as long as
the startup window handle exists, then exits as the game window takes focus.

I realy hope there will be a startup-window editing DLL too!
Thats one reason i wanted to buy the pro version, but I have no money for it...
899 dollars is way to much.

This would be illegal.
