This is an important topic about PR, So I think i could start a thread about it, heres a few pointers about using PR and C++ 1.-Power render is pure C This is probably the most important point, using C++ OOP and PR must be considered as PORTING it will work but it wont be "automatic switching". 2.-Use globals, some variables in PR need to be accessed by almost all functions, the best way to do this is to use globals, this totally brakes OOP laws, but it works so what the heck? Some globals recomended to be used... viewport, cameras, terrain, etc. if a variable is giving you problems to access it, use it as a global. Eventually you could make them work into a class somehow, but my advice is to simply avoid the headache and make it work as a global. 3.-Some things wont work as C++ There are some PR functions, variables,methods that wont work from inside a class, like callback functions and such, learn what this are, and take them out of the class and to another c file then call it as an extern c. 3.-Use Extern C, this will solve a lot of problems... you can use an actual function from c in c++ with total c syntax by using this carefully. 4.-Remember to change .c to .cpp this solves problems, and yes in the heat of a project and a deadline you can forget that classes wont work in .c files 5.-changing the winutil.c is possible, of course it is, as a matter of fact winutil didnt existed back in PR 2.5 and it still worked, thats like saying you cant make landscapes without landscape studio. It just gets a bit more dificult... and you will probably have to touch win32 and dx coding, newbies should avoid this. extra tip for visual c++ users: are you tired of seing the pr dialog?, just take it off your project and compile it, pr will switch to defaults automatically, you will have to put settings by hand if you are not using defaults but is nice to know. I usually do this for quick testing, and add a dialog for release(a modified dialog that is) 6.-Check the oop example very, very carefully to see more pointers. 7.- add your pointers and opinions, to this thread

I''m using PR with C++. There are some issues... The C/C++ mix gets messy. There are some issues creating wrappers... But in the long run, it turns out pretty well. Yesterday I got the initialization to work. Looks good, darn it!

perhaps you guys you guys could help me with this..
im trying to turn land1 into c++.
So I simply went in and changed everything to .cpp
i got a bunch of errors as expected... I fixed the ->lptbl declarations and all, no problem there...
But some functions like function callbacks.. give an error like this:
unable to convert from function (___cdecl)(void *) to X
you should use C-style conversion or casting...
I tried to solve it using the offending function outside as a separated c file and calling it like an extern "C" (this had worked before), but it didnt worked neither...

on a side note...im trying to use STL code for the first time, but I always get an error at this line...
list something;
I always get a sintax error when compiling this. thanks I apreciate your help...

I don''t know what to tell you... I usually got those errors during linking, not compiling... I used to have a bunch of unresolved externals. Moving them to .c, usually helped. But your case... I think it''s more of a question to Chris
