K-NetLib Multiplayer Library

Derlidio · Post by **Derlidio** » Sun Jun 12, 2005 2:03 am

Krylar's Kreations is proud to announce the release of K-NetLib, a DLL for acessing and controling Microsoft DirectPlay. Having almost 150 commands, K-NetLib covers all major features of DirectPlay, and we have plans to cover it entirely in a near future. The product is fully documented and you'll find a wrapper for using it with PureBasic in the install package. K-NetLib is 100% free for freeware developers, and very cheap for commercial developers. The DLL is very thin (about 140k), and highly optimized. And the best of all: it was fully developed in PureBasic

All of you are welcome to download an try K-NetLib, as well as to post your questions at the product's forum. As part of the development team, I can assure you'll not regret giving it a try.

The install package is available in the following address:

I think the PureBasic wrapper is not ready yet

From the site:

Plus, Krylar's Kreations provides automatic K-NetLib wrappers for the following languages

PureBasic (coming soon)

Krylar will inform us for sure, when its ready to use, I think.

If wanted, I will list it also on PureArea.net / Userlibs then.

The PureBasic wrapper is already there, in the setup package. I can assure this becouse I've made it

It is just the site that needs a little update

Oops! My mistake. I have updated the KNL portion of the site. As Derlidio says, there is indeed a wrapper for PB already.

Thanks!

Hi all,
Just a quick note to let everyone know that K-NetLib (multiplayer/multi-user network library) version 3.0.3 has been released. We have incorporated HTTP and FTP commands into the product now!

Please check it out at Krylar's Kreations, K-NetLib. Note also that there is now a forum at the site for support on the product.

Thanks,

-Krylar

Installed

Wanted to try something, so have copied the dll in the same folder of the BlitzBasic example (no PB!) and launched the exe.
This is the log file:

I think this is becouse of the DX version you have installed in your system. Can you try to install DirectX 9 and see if it works?
