KoV 0 Posted October 15, 2007 hello, Is possible to interact Arma with another device like a lcd display or a panel by loading a dll ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baddo 0 Posted October 16, 2007 There is already a DLL made which can be used to interact with OFP/ArmA, through ArmA's own scripting language. For OFP there was released "fwatch" by kegetys. For ArmA there is "Arma Extended DLL" by voyager. http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin....voyager Fwatch comes with source code. It can be found somewhere in this forum, it doesn't have a release thread of its own but is buried in some thread. Edit: here is a package containing everything that kegetys gave for download, fwatch itself and some related stuff: http://www.kolumbus.fi/baddo/ofp/tools/fwatch10d_all.zip You could take a look at the source code and see what you can do. If you release something which is based on fwatch, then be sure to release the source code with it too, as instructed by kegetys. You could maybe even just use ArmA Extended DLL as is and write your own little program to read/write a data file which would be shared with ArmA Extended DLL. This methodology means that you would have to write ArmA scripts too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shinRaiden 0 Posted October 16, 2007 Correction : No it is not possible for Arma to interact with an external application or dll. This would require a direct engine modification, such as was required for native TrackIR implementation. Clarification : There exist several community projects, such as kegety's fwatch, dxdll, and soft-th, other's derivatives of fwatch, various arma-specific tools, and of course KFC's tool's for runtime state manipulation. These do not interact with Arma or OFP, rather they exploit defects in the BIS products or in Windows to intercept, monitor, and manipulate engine-level state changes and other events.
