in case anyone wants to know this.

 

3 POSSIBLE methods.

 

1 - use a vbscript to clear entire internet cache, (google for code)

 

2 - when specifying download location add a random integer to the "save to" location on hard disk, then rename file after download

 

3- Add a random INT into the URL (more reliable) but mught not work with ALL urls..

e.g take the url for google log

www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png

 

 

we then add a random PHP style parameter to pass to the server, which will get ignored but fools your browser into thinking its a unique new url and WILL redownload the file:

www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png?random=123456779

im gonna wait till its a bit cheaper to be honest.  I only got into gM cos of the low price but now its big commercial software its kinda out of reach for alot of people, unless they happy with the basic version without the plugins.  BUt most people want to advance into app creation too

ok this is good. it worked fine but now the dll define functions dont work for some reason.

updated the link again.

Game Maker's DLL mechanism must be really shaky. I have a simple DLL I programmed myself and it sometimes won't initialize, "Error while defining external function". The problem disappears/reappears after a reboot.

In the case of Ultracrypt, exit FRAPS or the DLL cannot initialize. />

I also have this issue with two dlls and windows 7.

its stupid! had to abort a program due to this.

so whats causing it, the dll work AND gm can use them, its just that sometimes they wont work, unless you reboot once or twice, what kind of crap is that
