Hey guys,

I understand that Direct is is suppose to be faster than opengl32, i know you can implement it in a script with

smartPlugins := ['D3d9.dll', 'opengl32.dll'];

Questions i have are:
* If DirectX is enabled, will it effect a script in a way that involves altering procedures?
* Should i use

smartPlugins := ['D3d9.dll';

or

smartPlugins := ['d3d9.dll';

to enable it in scripts?
* Is anything required to be added if implementing Direct X in a script such as certain functions for fixes?
* Is their any other links you can direct me to for more information other than the below:

Thankyou in advance,

Questions i have are:

— wat? ogl and dx can be used interchangably. (though dx is better imo as it doesnt have the 'zoom' bug or the empty map.

* Should i use

smartPlugins := ['D3d9.dll';

or

smartPlugins := ['d3d9.dll';

to enable it in scripts?
— Perhaps the best way would be to test it for yourself?
Spoiler:Either one should work. Its windows, so its not case sensitive.

* Is anything required to be added if implementing Direct X in a script such as certain functions for fixes?
— Nope. At one point the map would get screwed up from time to time, but that shouldnt happen anymore. it basically had a huge black 'cross' in it, so people wrote funcs to fix it. @The Mayor; has one lying around somewhere if it seems to be a thing again.

* Is their any other links you can direct me to for more information other than the below:

— first link is release for the plugin. Download link, etc. Nothing too major. Just install it and run.
second link is unrelated, even though it has directx in the name.

Too easy, implemented :).
