Todd , you are the man ! I have tons of ideas in my brain . TCP/IP is =
the one that I want to use . I am making a hevy rally game that uses =
Exotica but I don`t want to code it all over , so could you make a =
separate dll file that contains the=20
TCP/IP and modem - modem and IPX commands so that i can use it in a game =
that was made in an older version of Exotica ? Thanx for a GREAT =
graphics library ! See ya .

hmm... sorry... but i can't be much help at all in this topic... i just
wanted to send something... I also want to make one of my games Internet
Multiplayer... i think it would be cool...
I have a small idea that to do that you would have to mess with the SOCKS or
soemthing... not really sure... i hope someone knows how to do this... it
would be really cool!

Hi Ferdinand,
TCP/IP is definetly the one I'll be testing out first so I can have
a good framework for the other connections. If you want to test a beta
version( whenever I get done with it ) of the DirectPlay capabilites,
please post that you want to on my Exotica Forum at:
http://pub19.ezboard.com/bexoticadxgamelibrary
in the "Exotica for Euphoria Programmers" section so I can let you
know and everybody else that wants to test it when it's available and
ready to test out.
At the moment, I need to make my game library all in one dll to make
it easier for me to deal with. Once I have Exotica bascially completed
with everything I can put into it, I'll consider making seperate dlls.
I try my best at keeping Exotica backword compatible with newer
versions.
But it's never a garantee because I might need to make a function name
change to sound better for what it does and also add more parameters
to a function to help the programmer get more use of the DirectX
functionality. With that in mind, if there is a change in a function,
you wont have to code all of your game over again. It just requires
you to change a couple( if any ) of function name(s) and/or
add/subtract a parameter(s) to/from a specific function when you
get a newer version of Exotica, if you even use the specific function
at all. I would suggest keeping current with Exotica versions so you
will have less chance of having a nightmare in fixing any name changes
or function parameters if you decide to update your game with a newer
version. Plus, by getting the latest version of Exotica, you'll get to
have more functions that you might find very useful/interesting to put
into your game and any new bug fixes that Exotica may of had.
Good luck with your game and thanks for the compliment! =3D)
And remmeber, if you need any help with anything about Exotica, you
can also post questions on the Exotica Forum.
