Has anyone been successful in creating a DLL in VS2008 that would work with SCAR?

With GCC, yes. With MSVS, No, never tried.
That was a C Plugin though.

Check Ben's C++ Plugins tutorial, although that might be what Wizzup said, GCC…

it should be possible. just do __stdcall instead of __attribute((stdcall)) in front of your functions, after that, everything should compile the same.

iv done some research on those plugins in c (more then when benland showed in his thread)
perhaps ill write a tutorail about it summing it up.

shouldnt be too hard at all, in benland's thread he uses MSVC i think

Phoenix will probably support the fastcall convention, that'll make things easier

Does scar support C# dll's?

Does scar support C# dll's?

Depends… If they're native libraries yes, if they're activex libraries, then no… It's also more a matter of having the dll support SCAR really, considering SCAR uses the stdcall convention and the fastsharemem unit which make it somewhat complicated… Took Benland a while to get around that in C++, hence I'll try to support the fastcall convention in phoenix

Got it to work. If anyone ever needs help with it, I've got it pretty well figured out.

Now to come up with a way to turn delphi strings into c++ strings. =O

delphi strings are null terminated like c strings
and c strings can easily be used to construct c++ strings

What's the whole function for that you made in your c plugin tutorial?

I tried to write it backwards, but I ended up ditching it; I'm not very adept with these languages… (yet :))
