dude, this is how you do it with Half-Life:
1 Download the MOD SDK
2 Edit the source of the multiplayer DLL so that it shows stuff on the LCD
3 Compile it and replace your DLL with the original multiplayer DLL

and you've got yourself info about Half-Life multiplayer games

only problem is: you have to know C++

Mat-d-rat:

I have spent thousands of hours professionally and as an enthusiast in software development, but I have not done anything at all since about mid-1999. Most of my work was either wierd, or long ago. Accordingly, I am able to work with 8080 and 6502 assembler, Pascal, Modula 2, C (but not any C++), and Java (I passed the SCJP exam in 1999 but never did anything more with it).

I don't know anything about plugin development at all. Zero. Where do I find info about plugin development -- especially as it relates to LCDC?

well
since you know pascal... you know lots of delphi...

and theres a sample source file on his site.....

and id much rather not re-write the multiplayer HL dll thingy... too lazy to brush up on my c++ skills

If you don't have one already, create an "SYS-On Start" event using the action "DSP->Process commands" selecting the commands "CursorBlinkingBlockOff" and you might as well add "AutoLineWrapOn" and "BacklightOn" (just in case!)

Ikonis--

Thanks, I've been looking at the info, such as it is. I've never taken an interest in Delphi before. It seems to be familiar territory... along the lines of pascal, C, Modula, and Java.

Ok i worked out that u need MBM5 for the cpu stuff to work only prob is that MBM5 dont work with my pants Motherboard

.Also how do rigister and how much is it (the link in lcdc for onlinr reg int working)

Also after playing about with the program . I found that this could making an MP3 box for my car a lot easiyer . As it comes on as u boot up and loads up winamp as weel . Then i could link a key and it would shutdown the comp . I sure there are my other things to take into account . But iam intrested now , Mo u might be reciving another order form me

LCDC has a keypad command that will shut down the computer

I must say that in the bits of time I have had to look into all of this, that it is LCDC that makes my display valuable. I was able to be up and running very quickly with many, many nice features. Thanks Mat-d-rat -- you're a pro! And thanks to all of the others who have participated to share their knowledge with beginners like me in these forums.

Hi Flintstone,
I'll be releasing an LCDC plugin shortly which is able to extract info from INI files, environment variables, and the registry. I'm not familiar with Girder (I'll check it out), but I'm sure that the above plugin could be coaxed to do the trick. I'll let you know when I have a functioning test version for you to play with.......

Ive begun work on my mIRC plugin....
Finished so far:
get current nickname that you are using
get current channel or private message your are in
get current server youre chatting on
get mirc version

In line up:
highlight notification

I need suggestions:
what might people want to see in an mIRC LCDC plugin?
what kind of statistics might you like to see?
Specific channel monitoring? etc.

Email ideas to ikonis@plasticrandom.net
and/or post them here for people to elaborate on.

THANKS!

Woah! This thread is getting out of hand!! Please feel free to start new posts/questions at http://lcdc.planetdps.com/forums.htm or here but it's getting too dificult to answer multiple questions in a single thread.
