Calling external Ruby extensions in rgss

[Japa]

Is there any way to call External ruby libraries in RGSS?
in normal ruby, one would do something like:

require "foo"

and it would look for foo.dll,foo.so,and foo.rb in the ruby directory.

How would I do this in RGSS?

 

[Dirtie]

The same way :P?

It keeps saying the file does not exist, no matter where I put it.

 

[rpgmaker]

have you tried putting the full directory path? you have to set the current directory to that of your script first or put the full directory for it to work

 

[Japa]

Yup, just tried it.
apparently it works, because now the game crashes instantly
probably because it's a .so file, rather than a .dll

 

[rpgmaker]

rmxp can only read .rb file with require. you cannot use require to read .so file in rmxp but you can with the real ruby. as for reading a dll file you will need to use Win32API

Ok, thanks.
