- Place extra.dll in your GalCiv folder. Make sure you backup your old extra.dll.
- This "patch" will always keep your treasury at $10000 so you can pretty much
- kick some serious butt. Thanks to the GalCiv developer's kit and VAC++ this
- was very easy to accomplish (and I don't know hardly any C or much of anything
- about OS/2 programming). Hope you people have fun with this.
- Oh yeah, here are some pointers for people trying to use the GalCiv developer's
- kit with VAC++ in particular:
- 1) First of all, and this is not really clear in the developer's kit, the human player
- is index 1 of the Galaxy struct (i.e., Galaxy->Player[1]).
- 2) It is best to start from a C DLL Project Smart and modify it instead of starting
- from scratch. Most of the headache associated with getting dll's to work right
- can be avoided this way.
- 3) Make sure you turn on C++ style comments (//) in the C++ Compiler options,
- since Brad included alot of them in his code. Turn to the Source page of
- the C++ compiler options and change to the details subtab.
- 4) Make sure you switch the compiler options for byte alignment to 1 byte. Turn
- to the Source page of the C++ compiler options and change to the bytes subtab.
-
- By the way, VAC++ kicks is easily the best development environment I've ever
- used. Buy it, you won't regret it.
-
- By the way, if you are feeling really generous feel free to send me a few bucks.
- I'm trying to save up some money for 3D Studio anyway (to develop my baseball
- game). Anyway, if you are in an especially good mood, my address is:
-
- 3422 Falkirk Place
- Atlanta, GA
- 30345
-
- I am not in anyway saying that you should pay for this thing, but I'm planning
- on doing a lot of OS/2 development (including more add-ons for GalCiv, Real
- Baseball, I even have plans for OS/2 productivity apps) so a little more cash
- wouldn't hurt :) If you do send money be sure to include your e-mail so I know
- how to get in touch with you and tell you about any other things I'm working on.
- Even if you don't want to send money, I would appreciate any mail on the kind
- of GalCiv add-ons (no matter how far-fetched) you are interested in. Thanks.
