The DLL Project

Small progress report:
No, no fancy new stuff to look at this time...

I'm working on the core things to work, at the moment I'm replicating the interfaces and virtual tables. This means - among other things - that later you can come up with custom classes deriving from the originals.

For now, it all works as planned! Little problems that naturally occur here and there are fixed easily. Well, that's the good news, the bad news is it might take ages to complete... >.<

Also, I moved to the MS Visual Studio 2008 now, which luckily reads the getter and setter functions out of the macros and has many other fancy features that will make documentation easier.

Speaking of documentation, I will probably not go into every little detail, but rather give people a general overview of what the single classes are for and how you can approach things.
Additionally to that I'm planning a small tutorial from literally "Hello World" to "Adding a new SuperWeaponType". As said, I won't (and can't... it's too much) explain every little detail, but I'll try my best to comment on the class properties etc so you will be able to browse the classes in some way and learn about things.
As said, this might get comparable to getting into UnrealScript, which is kinda easy at the beginning, but will take some effort to in order to work on advanced stuff.

What I can tell for sure is that the first C++ wrapper versions won't be complete. They will feature most things you might be wanting to use (all kinds of unit classes, SuperWeapon classes, drawing, file loading, ini reading), but just not everything (while "everything" is practically impossible anyway... I believe).

I know people always want to know "when", but frankly I can't tell.
Might still be this month, but of course, I cannot promise it at all!
