SS13.dll

Oh my god what is this?

A place to write native code that would be too slow to run in DM.

Why D?

Because I'm a hipster.

How do I work with these files?

I expect the project layout to change before incorporation into the /tg/station codebase, but for now...

Building and Debugging the DLL with Visual Studio

• Install DMD
• Verify that the binaries are on your system PATH
• Install Visual Studio 2015 (Community or better)
• Install the VisualD package.
• Download the Gazoot.var_dump library.
• Open and compile AtmosDllTest.dme from Dream Maker
• Open SS13.dll_src\SS13.dll.sln
• Open the project properties (Select it in the Solution Explorer and press Alt+Enter)
• Under 'Configuration Properties' -> 'Debugging'
  • Set Command to: C:\Program Files (x86)\BYOND\bin\dreamseeker.exe (or werever you have it installed)
  • Set Command Arguments to: AtmosDllTest.dmb
  • Set Working Directory to: ..
• You should now be able to debug the code using breakpoints and all with F5.

Building the DLL without Visual Studio

• Install DMD
• Verify that the binaries are on your system PATH
• Download the Gazoot.var_dump library.
• Open and compile AtmosDllTest.dme from Dream Maker
• Run SS13.dll_src\buildWin_debug.bat
• Run AtmosDllTest.dmb
• No debugging for you!

The DM code is currently written to copy SS13.dll to CopySS13.dll at launch in order to let you easily rebuild the DLL while the world is running. You can then reboot the world to bring in the updated DLL.
