Gamebase.dll (AES/Rijndael)

Hi

Today i created a dll (via Delphi) to expand Torque's possibilities. I'm new to TGB and TGE... so i dont know if some functions already exists.

What can this DLL do for you? You can save/load some values of your game to/from a crypted file.


Example:

%firstText = "I love Torque";
%secondText = "I love it to write DLLs";
%thirdText = "I know Delphi much better than C/C++";

%password = "Deborah Marshall";


Now we can save these Strings to a crypted file:

dw_createFile(0); // you can create up to 10 (0-9) different Stringlists -> it has nothing to do with the number of lines!!!

echo(dw_getLineCount(0)); // Parameter: StringListID
// you get "0"

dw_writeLine(0,0,%password,%firstText); // Parameter: StringListID, LineNumber, Password, your Text
dw_writeLine(0,1,%password,%secondText);
dw_writeLine(0,2,%password,%thirdText);

echo(dw_getLineCount(0)); // Parameter: StringListID
// you get "3"

dw_saveFile(0,"save.txt"); // Parameter: StringListID, Filename

------------------------------

Load the File and read the Lines

dw_createFile(0); // Parameter: StringListID
dw_openFile(0,"save.txt"); // Parameter: StringListID, Filename

echo(dw_readLine(0,0,%password)); // Parameter: StringListID, LineNumber, Password
// "I love Torque"

echo(dw_readLine(0,1,%password));
// "I love it to write DLLs"

echo(dw_readLine(0,2,%password));
// "I know Delphi much better than C/C++"



There is also a function called dw_deleteLine(StringListID, LineNumber);
I think you know what you can do with this function. ;-)


Load "save.txt" in a text editor and you will see only thrash. ;-)
The file is crypted with AES/Rijndael.


Tomorrow i will write a complete documentation.
If you can't wait... here are all necessary files you need to try this DLL (copy the DLL to the same folder where your exe-file is).
www.darkware.de/torque_gamebase_dll.zip


OK... this is my first DLL for Torque. Please try the functions and give me feedback.



What i have to do:

- expand the Parameter "filename"
Currently the files are saved/loaded in/from the same folder where the executable and the dll are.
In the next version you can specify a different folder like

dw_saveFile(0,"currentdir\\gamesave\\savedata.sav");

or

dw_saveFile(0,"C:\\mySaveFiles\\savedata.sav");

Something like this.


- some more functions like...

... copy, rename, delete, remove folders/files
... create folders
... and so on



Do you have some ideas? Wishes?
Please let me know what you want.
