Really though I would try to push for yoyo to expose an interface we can use to make code::blocks and MS dll with. An interface they would be in charge of updating each release instead of you hacking you way through each time. Your dedication is appreciated. This api has done more for GM than any gm release since gm7.

I second this suggestion. If Snake_PL decides to stop supporting GMAPI there will be many many great GM extensions that will be DOA. YoYo Games really needs to think about integrating this!

I was trying to get one of my DLLs working in GM8.1 (the DLL doesn't use GMAPI but a much simpler system, it can only call GM functions), and I created a simple memory scanner. It works, although it's a bit slow (can take a few seconds). Anyway, I thought it might be useful for GMAPI too, so here it is:

Anyone ever managed to get the api working with Code::Blocks ?

[Edit]

Ok, I got it working using MinGW with SJLJ exceptions.

Works great.

You might consider compiling it with dwarf2

Yes.

Add its include folder to the extra include directory in your project
Add its lib folder to the extra library directory in your project (not needed)
Add the .a file for the extra library in your project

Yes I got it working with CB

How big is your resulting dll? Mine if effing big (600+KB regular and 12MB with debug info). A big difference with MS

[ChaosMaker]

incredible!
just thought a little tricky to use at the time.
I had no idea where to put my code, I downloaded some of their examples.
that was when I was in doubt if the GMAP makes dlls for the game maker, or if the GMAP is to program in C + + like in gml.

Hey guys, I was wondering if there was any info on the "Last Save Date" or "Compile Date" in the header of a compiled gmk file with 8.0. If there is, can I access this data, I would use to do a version check.

So when is update coming... 2 months ago i heard in one month so im bit worried but can wait no longer than 1 more month...

Snake_PL hasn't said anything.

He said he'd try.

recompile the source code in vs 2010.. As the static library compilation was made with "whole program optimization" turned on it only works when the compiler version of the static library matches the version used for creating the dll.

[Loric]

I'm noob.. detailed instructions please

[Loric]

OK...

• New project...
• Win32 Project -> OK
• Next -> Static Library -> uncheck 'Precompiled header' -> Finish
• Copy source files to new project directory
• Add -> Existing Item (source files)
• Build project -> succeeded
• Use created lib in my dll

But this doesnt work, what is wrong?

And what is GMAPICore folder in source rar?

[TheMagicNumber]

This doesn't work with GM 8.1. If you're using GM 8, more details would be helpful.

[HaRRiKiRi]

YYG has put this into the new version:

get_function_address() function has been added to help with external DLLs calling into GameMaker.

So now finally this can actually be updated.
