Updated C# .dll Wrapper

[ellF]

Hi all,

I am currently working on a plugin for Evochron Legends, and in doing so have updated the AstroMech wrapper class that Spksh originally provided in 2007.

Main changes in my version are:

• Support for all SDK functions aside from SetImage (which does not work on the x52 Pro)
• XML-style C# comments, resulting in better IntelliSense support when coding in Visual Studio
• Added full comment documentation for every argument and return type
• Set a single const dllPath string, instead of respecifying the path manually in every call to DllImport
• Reorganized function order to match their order in the SDK documentation
• Changed delegates from returning int to returning void (per the SDK)

Hope that's helpful to some folks!

Nice work, ellF.

Thank you! Really not a lot to do, just a quick update to reflect a few minor changes. You really made the whole thing possible.

What's your plugin going to do?

I'm displaying 5 or so pages of ship data, as well as changing/blinking various LEDs based on in-game conditions (such as being targeted by a missile, running low on fuel, etc., etc.). Basically done -- was about a day of work, once I had the wrapped working.

Awesome, that's what I wanted to do for Star Wars Galaxies but I couldn't get to the data without some nasty memory scraping.

Got any pics of what it looks like?

I actually emailed the developer behind Evochron, and he thought it was a cool idea and provided me with a custom version of the game that periodically (every 500ms, by default) writes the data I'm showing out to a file. Trivial to pick it up from there and display it, really.

Still polishing up the output; once it's done, I'll upload some pictures.

Nice. I tried that with SOE and they ignored me
