Hello everybody,

I know, I should be ashamed of myself, but the readme provided with the library did not gave me enough information and I'm still new at this.

Anyway, I recently bought all of the Fast extension libraries but, like I said, I have no clue how to activate the plugin to be able to use the commands.

I tried the info the readme gave me, but with little success. Any help is appreciated!


Thanks!

Put the

FastExt.dll
FastImage.dll
FastText.dll

FastExt.decls
FastImage.decls
FastText.decls

Under your "..\Blitz3D\userlibs\" folder. In default it should be "C:\Program Files\Blitz3D\userlibs"

After you have done these, all the examples should work and you should be able to use the new commands.

Don't forget to restart Blitz3D after doing that ^

...and remember when your program (that uses the DLLs) ships, you need to ship the DLLs with it, and they need to be in the "root" directory of your application/game (ie not in a subdir like /dlls or something)... unless you're using DLLs that already ship with Windows.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
