Status: offline 		Dear Matrix team,

Is it possible list under game status not just number of loss/damage equipment but type of it? Under game I write how many mig-23s, su-27s I have lost, and how many F-14s and F-18s etc. I have shot down. It will be nicely if game also could be create this kind of report.
for exapmle:
10.30 Kirov class cruiser -Frunze- has damaged from 2 tomahawk missiles. The weapons system has damaged. 10 men dead, 25 injured.
10.40 3 Tu-22M backfire bombers has shot downed.
....

etc.
With this kind of report it will be more interesting.

The technical specifications (details and sample code will follow when I get to it):
http://www.computerharpoon.com/wiki/main/index.php?title=HCCE:Extend:Export_DLL
(note the UnitSink and UnitFree functions, that's where you can capture loss information)

The two DLLs I have are for dumping everything the interface offers to a text file and the other is a GoogleEarth export so you can watch your play unfold in GoogleEarth.

Status: offline 		A DLL is a Dynamic(ally) Linked Library.  An easy way to think of it is as an old-fashioned form of a software plug-in.  You download a plug-in for Photoshop, plop it in the right directory and the next time you start Photoshop you have new menu items pertaining to that plug-in.  That's what DLLs are doing, making more features or interfaces available to a 'mother' program.  In HC's case you'll see Harpoon32.dll in your folder, it holds much of the artwork the Winharp32.exe shows, providing material to the game engine. 

More later ...
