Re: What Filetype do MOD's use

Quick question, how do you compile a MOD into a DLL file anyway. I've seen that the few MOD's out at the minute all have a DLL file with them. Along with a 'PDB' file, a 'LIB' file and an 'EXP' file.
Is there some sort of BAT file I need like with CNC3TW?
You just compile it with a C++ compiler. The only required result file should be the dll. The pdb file contains debug symbols that should make the mod give better information to the programmer in case of a crash. I don't think that's ever shown to the end user anyway though, so just the dll should be all.
As for how to compile it, there's a TiberianDawn.vcxproj and a RedAlert.vcxproj; those are Visual Studio project files. Just opening them and compiling them should be simple. All you need is Visual Studio.
