About dpr file or exe file

[Alex-ai229]

Greetings! I have read the discription of your grand software, and have grown strong interest in it. But I encountered some difficulties in compiling the files you provided due to the absence of dpr files. Would you provide the dpr or exe directly on this site just for studying? Sincere gratitude and best wishes!

Hi Alex, thanks for your interest!

Since this project was finished 10 years ago, and currently I've moved to another country without taking the original disk with me, it might be hard to get back the whole package for now.

That said, as far as I can recall, .pas and .dfm files were the most essential ones that you may need to recompile this project. After referring to ChatGPT, I found the following info which hopefully can be helpful:

In Delphi:
"If you have Delphi, you can open the .pas files and add them to a new Delphi project, then add the .dfm files and compile.
This approach should work if there are no missing dependencies and you’ve matched the required compiler settings."

Please also note that I developed this software using Delphi 7, so I would suggest try to use the same version for compilation.

Besides that, my actual concern would be there might be a missing .dll which is for steam property lookup. I have the impression that the windows system regarded it as virus and automatically deleted it every time I tried to save the project.

I'll try to contact my lab and my families who get access to the disks containing the copies of the source code to see if I can get back the integrate project.

Thanks for your interest again!

Best,
YL

Hi YL! Thanks for your consideration! I'll try to recompile it with the aid of your advice. Though it might be difficult to read, the formulae you wrote and the design process implicit in pas files must be worth learning. Thanks again for your work and share!
