1. RE: ExoticaX
Hi
I bet you're still using Eu 2.3 - if you're 2.4 pleeeeeeeeease let me
have the (exotica) code that allows define_c_func/proc in dll.e to work.
I'm currently slugging through exotica (don't hold your breath) to get
it to work with 2.4 - fun though!

Hi
Rpt message, Topica bounced last one.
I bet you're using eu2.3, as opposed to 2.4, which changed the way
define_c_func/procs were handled in dll.e. I'm currently slugging
through exotica to get it working with eu2.4 (partial success, and don't
hold your breath). If you ARE using 2.4, please please please let me
have the changes.

I'm using Eu2.4. I encountered the same problems you did, and
traced down the bugs.
I'd send you the changed files now, but I am no where near my
computer at the moment so I don't have access. I only fixed
the files that I needed to the library I wrote, maybe I should
go and fix all of ExoticaX for 2.4...
If you want the files I changed now(pretty much just the
DirectDraw ones) download the PNL v0.5.1 library that I wrote
and uploaded to RDS, as it has those files in the DirectX
directory.
Cheers,

This bounced the first time so I'm resending it, sorry if you get it twice.

5. RE: ExoticaX
Thanks for the replies.
I am using eu2.4 -- Someone on the IRC said that all you need to do is
replace {NULL} with NULL.
I did that and it still hangs.
What are the other bugs?

I'm a little late, maybe I was the one that told you this, but you should
be replacing {NULL} with {}, not NULL.
