#955: use cube as DLL.

by freddix on 12/09/2002 23:20

should it be possible to make 3D engine in DLL format to use it with C++ or programming langaes that support DLLs

I ask you that because I code using DarkBasic Professional ( www.darkbasicpro.com ).
It is a basic langage oriented Direct X and an OpenGL engine should be a +

DarkBasicPro support the add of new DLL to use as new commands.

If cube can be builded as DLL , it should be possible to use your excellent 3D engine for others kind of games like RPG , MMORPG , 3D shoots en up , and more . . .

Simply by building it as DLL and giving the list of included functions( to create string table that make the link between your 3D engine and DarkBasic Pro )

you likely have a buggy opengl driver that does something wrong with transparency (I assume the fonts show up as white boxes?)

#965: Re: use cube as DLL.

by Aardappel on 12/10/2002 10:58, refers to #955

it is possible to put cube in a DLL. The problem is not making the DLL, but designing all the interface functions so that every aspect of the engine can be used from darkbasic. That is quite a lot of work. You would need to find a programmer with knowledge of C++, darkbasic, and cube to do this for you.

#968: Linux with a Radeon 7500

by Bison on 12/10/2002 22:38

Has anyone tried running Cube on Linux with an ATI Radeon 7500? Is it fast enough to be playable?

TIA, Bison

Bison, it definatly is. Unless you have a very slow CPU. Anything 300mhz or more will run great.

by Al_Capone on 12/11/2002 06:35, refers to #966

No, you can't, its a "freeware" which means its free and the term "shareware" means to share then if you like it send money, also has those nag screens as well, I already ask if he plan to make money off it, he said no, besides, the source is already out, I'm sure people would like to donate, I see nothing wroung with that.

I'm not sure if you allow to sell it part of a cd or book, because thats part of making money off it.

Don't listen to Al Capone, just read the license in the source readme. It's a rather pleasant little license.

#972: Re: shareware games.

by Aardappel on 12/11/2002 10:53, refers to #966

yup, just read the license. I don't plan to make any money of it, but anyone else can make money of it if they want to, and don't have to give me anything (provided they abide by the license).

#973: Big Problem with RedHat 8.0

by kc7wzl on 12/11/2002 12:43

Well I down loaded the game and played it for a few mins and was loving it. But I was having lock up problem trying to do multi player. I guess I mist the part about the patch for the linux_client file. but it was still playable on the computer. Well untill I did the updates from RedHat. now no matter what I do the game just locks up the computer very badly (IE the power button does not even work OUCH! UNPLUG TIME QUAD OUCH!!) so the search goes on trying to figure out what ealse is broken that was not befor RedHat update. my gut fealing that was not the only game that got hosed. heck I even tried to recompile the thing still no go.And the bigest confusion of all is how to fix it. this is not good sign giving a new linux usr a bad tast. maby I will have to try to back up tones of data and try a different flavor

Any help would be greatly greatfull for.

I don't know what your problem is or how to solve it, but i'd try some other 3D game, like Quake or Unreal. If those run fine it's obviously something to do with Cube.

Try reinstalling it all and starting with a new config if you havn't already also.
