Changing the Dll name.

[Mad-Mazda]

If i change my dll name, what else do i change so my project can find it. because it just keeps serching for Irrlicht.dll but its not named that anymore.

I also want to do this, to avoid detection that I might be using irrlicht (even though it will be pretty obvious) I want to make my game as hack protected as possible. I am not sure how to do this but it might be something to do with the library file that you include by using pragma comment(lib, "Irrlicht.lib"). Have a look at the source of that file, and you might find your answer. Otherwise, looking around the web for this may give you your answer.

I'm just going to mention, if you care about your client being hacked, then you are going about you entire network scheme horribly wrong. If it's not a multiplayer game, then why would you ever care if your client gets hacked?

[...] I want to make my game as hack protected as possible. [...]

And how would you achieve that by simply changing the dll's name?

[MasterM]

If you dont want others to cheat in your game then try to find out how they do it and think of a way to stop it, but only if its a multiplayer game...else if its a single player game dont waste your time on bullet proofing your game...

Using Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 (the other versions should be similar)

Code: Select all

Right click on the Irrlicht project and select Properties
Select:
  Configuration Properties
    Linker
      General
        Output File <--- change this to e.g. foo.dll
      Advanced
        Import Library <-- change this to e.g. foo.lib

In your application, link against foo.lib instead of Irrlicht.lib
