Radar Contact V2.x - Super Flight Planner Adventure Write Module.
By Alessandro Antonini, "theflyguy" - alex@futurtechno.com
Welcome to the Radar Contact V2.x - Super Flight Planner Adventure Write
Module source code package.
This package is meant to distribute a more than exhaustive sample of how
to write a custom Adventure Write Module for SFP 2.5 and above. It is
presupposed you have at least a bare knowledge of the C programming language,
however I have done my best in order for the code to be as readable as
possible.
Feel free to contact me if you have something that puts you in troubles and
I'll see what I can do for you. My Email address is shown above in case you
need a technical explaination, a code snip, etc.
Package contents:
-----------------
FLSUPP.H - this is the interface file to SFP plan engine contained within
FLSUPP.DLL and FLDLGS.DLL (routines to access SFP database or plan table are
included here).
FLPLDEFS.H - this is a FLSUPP.H accompanying file. Contains several
precompiler settings
ADVTYPES.H - contains all structures related to adventure generation, such as
weather, etc.
COMPILE.C - module which does write the Radar Contact source file.
COMPILE.H - interface file for COMPILE.C
LV.C - contains code to access SFP runways listview available within
Adventure Maker runways tab-sheet.
DISCOMP.C - contains code to uncheck the Compile adventure switch within
Adventure Maker flags tab-sheet. This is accomplished by entering into
SFP Adventure IPC server and sending a WM_COPYDATA message to Adventure
Maker window handle.
RADARCNT.C - contains the exported routine. This routine will be called
by SFP at the moment of launching the DLL to generate the source code of
your adventure.
MS\ subdirectory - contains make files and import libraries for MS Developer
Studio (Aka Visual C++ 5)
BCB\ subdirectory - contains make files and import libraries for Borland
C++ Builder 3 environment.
The code is all plain C (no C++) and should be easily readapted in order to be
compiled by environments other than the two above (e.g CygWin, Watcom C++,
etc.).
