Oh, I totally agree. VB.Net is awesome, and I've got a couple projects in the werkz written in it (nothing OHR, but still.) > Of note, any programming language or program I tried to load the DLL > in didn't like it; Game Maker (which is written in Delphi) gave the > vague error of "Error Loading DLL".

The most likely entry point is "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". Try changing the declare to: Declare Sub unlump Alias "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" Lib "unlumpdll" (ByRef lump$, ByRef ulpath$) Alias might need to go after Lib, my VB6 is rusty. > There's also an awesome reason: Visual Basic 6 costs money.

It runs on older platforms, and is actually faster than VB.Net (it runs in native code, rather than being run under the Common Language Runtime). However, what you say is still true. That said, I managed to acquire Visual Stuidio 2005 from a friends office, so I can't really complain much. > Either way, a DLL with general functions would be great since everyone > making external programs to the OHR wouldn't have to re-invent the > wheel every single time, and is a lot more flexible for people that > don't want to be forced to use the GPL by copying the unlump code from > the source. Maybe I'll throw something together on the weekend.
