Hi @all,

I got started with 3DGS 7 (extra-version) some time ago, did all the lite-c workshops and so on and I think I've got an idea about how things work now. Before starting with 3DGS, I liked to develop smaller window-based applications in Delphi and I really like that language. I can't say that about C-script or Lite-C I'm afraid... So that's the reason why I thought about using the Delphi SDK Plugin, but I've got some questions about it...

1) Is it usable with the Extra-Version of 3DGS7 or do I need commercial or higher?

2) What exactly does this plugin include? May I use my normal Delhpi-Editor in order to write scripts for 3DGS 7 after installation?

3) What about game-specific functions, like "ent_move" and stuff like that - are they accessable out of Delphi?

4) Are there any problems that might appear, or, in other words, do things get any more difficult by not using C-script but Delhpi? For example do I have to know about things like creating a dll or something like that?

Basically I simply don't like parts of the C-Script syntax, I would like to stick with my "begin" and "end;" instead of "{" and "}" and also keep the ":=" instead of "=" and so on, just to give you some examples. You see, I'm not a Pro at all, therefore my main question is: Is it actually a good idea to begin with the Delphi-Plugin or should I rather make friends with C-Script?


Greetz!

1 - Yes
2 - Yes
3 - Yes
4 - there a few items that are difficult if you use or Delphi or C++ as well.

I suggest downloading the Delphi SDK and READING the help!! I've documeted a lot of information plus there are 12 samples of programs using delphi only.
there are 3 or 4 dll plugin examples also.

Ok, great, I'll give it a try then if you say that it's not impossible starting off using Delphi only and no (or: as less as possible) lite-c ^^ If I've got a question I'll ask here anyway ^^

Thanx and greetz!


EDIT: By your "yes" to question 1, do you mean: "Yes it works with extra-version as well" or "Yes you need the pro-version"?

my "yes" to question 1 meant you can use it with extra-version.

you should ask any support questions related to using delphi in higher language forum, okay?

Right, wanted to post this in the related forum anyway, but I was a little bit ashamed of those noobish questions - but I needed to ask, right? ^^

It's great that the Delphi SDK plugin works with the extra version as well - I currently don't have as much free-time as I would like to have but that's gonna change within the next few weeks and then I'll definitly take a look at it.

Greetz!
