i don't really need too, but with the executable i can tell how your calling the function, and suggest changes.

What is it crashing on?

Yes, but all i need is the executable, the main problem is that VB.NET doesn't run anything like the other versions of VB. The main problem is that i COULD get it working with VB.NET but it is almost guaranteed not to work with VB5 or 6. If you want me to get it working under .NET I will though. I w...

umm great.... ummm can you do me a favor, send me the compile executable, thats all

i tried compiling and running it myself, but i had to convert it to VB.NET, and it fails on mpGetFormatInfo.

can you send me your "test" program?

what do you have it defined as, and whats the SizeOf the type.

That should be remedied, Pointers are implemented as LongInt (32bit Integers); since you don't USE that parameter, it should be ok. TFindInfo is how you get the filename/file attributes, Internally it stores information like "what file am i on?" so that any NEW calls know where to continue...

my sample? if Not(GetManagerVersion(Major, Minor)) or (Major <> 1) or (Minor <> 0) then begin ShowMessage('Invalid Version of the plugin manager found'); Application.Terminate; end; SetPluginDirectory('.\Plugins\'); RefreshPluginList(); if mpIsFileAnArchive(0, 'C:\program files\Ubisoft\Beyond Good &...

Nope, returns true for all functions (also mpCloseArchive). Perhaps the boolean thing is not working right? How about returning a byte? mpCloseArchive, should almost always return true, unless there was some memory error or something. mpIsFileAnArchive works for me mpIsFileAnArchive(0,'sally_clean....

does mpIsFileAnArchive return true but fail on the mpOpenArchive ?

All integers = 32bit Yeah, mpOpenArchive( ArchiveHandle ) is passed by reference, not value, this is returned to you, this is a value that indicates which archive you are working with, this allows you to have more than one archive open with the same plugin, although this prolly WONT happen with the ...

let me see your code, here is mine if Not(GetManagerVersion(Major, Minor)) or (Major <> 1) or (Minor <> 0) then begin ShowMessage('Invalid Version of the plugin manager found'); Application.Terminate; end; SetPluginDirectory('.\Plugins\'); RefreshPluginList(); if mpIsFileAnArchive(0, 'C:\program fil...

inh is the formatindex, stored in my global structure 'formats' (retrieved prior to processing). Now, all 'res' are true after I call any of the functions. But the IndexCount = 0 after the call. Weird huh? What is is with the flags I got to give and the Pchar (or string) I got to provide in OpenArc...

ummm how is this a game request?
