I see in the manual where it says the type of things that are in the WMP file, but I don't see any details of it. (Structs, pointers, etc..) Do I need new reading glasses? I'm writing an app (not a game) that will use 3DGS for final rendering. Unfortunately, I'm also going to have to write a stripped down version of WED ("WED for Dummies"?). It will basically ask you series of questions, and from that, build an internal file that will need to be converted to WMP format. I've looked at the SDKs, but I don't "do" C++.
Any suggestions?

There are WED/ MED and WMP SDKs on the download page: http://www.3dgamestudio.com/download.phpIf you figure out how to use them (if possible even with Visual Studio Community/ 2015) please let me know! EDIT: Oh I'm sorry, I've completely overlooked your last sentence.

Yes, I've looked at them - I can grasp the C# stuff in the AcknexWrapper. Problem is, is that the only WED/MED stuff is in C++. I'd almost pay somebody to convert all that to VB.net or C#..! Strike that - how's $50 sound (... like an insult <grin> )

Wow! - a reply from the top man himself..!
What I'm trying to do is write a program (vb.net) to quickly create a building (with number of floors/basement levels, etc.) using 3 questions that any dummy could answer.
1: What are the height/width dimensions of the foundation in feet. 2: How many floors does the building have? 3: Now many basement levels?
Ignoring the dimensions, say the responses are 5 floors and 3 basements. The program would create: A foundation level, 5 floor levels, and 3 basement levels. (With the same dimensions as the foundation). The resulting dataset I wish to turn into a WMP file that can be loaded into WED for further detail work, by somebody else.
(My target audience is "simple folk" - no knowledge of CAD, 3DGS, etc.)
If you have any suggestions of better ways to do this (WMP vs WMB) I'm all ears.. (I guess that would really by "all eyes" since this is a forum)
Thanks,
~Neut.

To Firoball: I already downloaded every SDK available. (But thanks anyway for the link!)
As for your next link: Ye Gods..!!! Marshaling, the topic I absolutely hate the most!!!

That's what wmpio.dll exactly is for. You could of course also use WMP2, which is the old format of A5 and can still be loaded by A8. It is plain text, however you'll need to find out how those blocks are defined (the base shape does not seem to be that complicated, though). Here's a rather simple level.. good luck with reverse engineering https://paste.ee/p/LTnxv
