OK - after some problems - D.E.L.L.A is just about ready. I am working on a simple MP (Multi-Player) level with D.E.L.L.A fully engaged. The level will use the NEW .dll to access the database - with a few NPC's and an "melee" combat system that will record drops - XP and such.
The chat system will be independent of the database.
Please note the .dll is only to access the database from a game. D.E.L.L.A "herself" is a complete admin module and works "behind the scenes". In other words, you create your relational databases as an admin - but make calls to the database via the .dll and .wdl to manipulate THAT DATA - (i.e., "add this - display results [as in completion of a quest or acquiring a weapon of health pack <- fps, ect]). SQL implemantion is up to you - but WILL NOT be able to be called from c-script. It slows the process down. Instead, if you are clever - can store your SQL in a seperate table (define as text field) - and call the query. That way - you will be able to "administrate" a new relational SQL based query quickly - without affecting game play, i.e., assign a new weapon or new NPC - a new quest or value by simply re-writing to the specific table.
I hope the have the level (with full - .wdl and a SHORT explanation up in the next week to 10 days.
Thank you all for your patience.

OK - would someone explain just what the "heck" TUSC is or "was"? That being said - I am going to release "D.E.L.LA" this coming week. Have finished the beta's and am very pleased with "her" performance. So stay tuned "Kiddies" -myKael.

JCL just had to flew over the ocean to enable a feature by just clicking together the new beta release (I was told so). He installed the TUSC flag for the case that someone comes and says he's too lazy. Well, TUSC is an abandoned keyword of A4 that made secret features available of A5 which were just in development phase. So whenever someone said A4 is bad he just clicked on the add-feature button of his engine-generator-box. No one ever knew TUSC since a misterious person buyed an engine-generator, too. He sayed he wants to create the ultimate app that makes your own game by just clicking together the 4 letters of the word TUSC from a virtual noodle soup (with letters). Too bad that JCL raised the anti-TUSC-force and said MUHAGAGAGA! He had a phone call with the creators of that buggy engine-creation software. These damn exploits! Well, Bill G. - no thats too obvious - B. Gates said: ok, we take care of him, but you have to use our crappy new version of our engine-creator and you have to sell your soul to our device drivers. And everytime a bug report comes that handles with our engine-creator, say its a graphics driver error, 70% NVidia, I dont like them they made it all bad ... and 30% ATI, they are good guys, though. JCL said thank you and released a brand new version, called A5. TUSC was abandoned and his misterious creator. The crime delict was archived as vaporware.. because the creator of that hacker program was vaporized with laserbeams coming out of his screen as he tested out the new beam and streak featured released at that time... noone use them seriously.. guess why?! MUHAHAGAGAGA... Just kidding. TUSC was vaporware. The creator said that you can click together every kind of game in his app (written in DELPHI) and TUSC creates the whole gameframework with every function put together so that you have just to touch your game softly so that its a new AAA game cya Christian P.S: keep up your sexy Della... best wishes.
