Ok i've read that post too. Anyways i've now tried to run with A6.60 Lite-C and there is a wdl file with the same name containing plugindir = "."; only it didn't worked. No crash or error message just the acknex window shows up.

Furthermore mesh.dll isn't working with A7.06.1 and 7.0.7.1/2/3 beta on my computer, either with Lite-C or C-Script. If I try to run the C-Script version the compiler doesn't understand what bmap is on this line -> Code:
bmap bmap_lightmap = "landscape_lm.dds";

When I try to run the Lite-C version with A7 stable or any of the beta I get the crash without error in the demo level using the full version of the dll. Is the mesh.dll compiled with VC2005 NET?

Another problem:

Tried to run the C-Script version against A6.60 Commercial, however there was a problem because on the A6 (old key.exe) license my full name is used and on A7 it's shortened. Strange, but on A6.60 Lite-C mesh.dll didn't present this message about "the mesh plugin isn't registered to you!" What should I do next?

Code:
/*
here is the lite-c version of the example script in case anyone would like to run the plugin demo with lite-c.
it should also work with the free lite-c edition. save it as examples_litec.c and also create the file
examples_litec.wdl which contains the line: plugindir = ".";
