Part 1/4 [History of project]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[2014-11-23 rev.15]
 - Remove unneeded files from .rar that i forgot they were in there.
 - Added gui reciver
 - Added *Work in progress 05.UserInterface and some lacking funcs for it
   While this example do look more that OK i would still like to add more functionality
   to it before marking it as finished, for now it will stay with "Work in progress"
   mark till i'm satisfied that i have enough work invested in it. Note that some things
   like GuiGetMessage can change in name and return value in next UDF version.
   Still lacking CheckBox ComboBox ContextMenu StaticText and alot of other gui elements
   and its funcs that need to be done.
   Note that by adding gui, list of exported funcs increased drasticly coz every gui
   element have its separate set of commands to handle everything. The list now counts
   more than 250 funcs exported and the number will get larger drasticly till my gui
   criteria is fully satisfied.

Part 2/4 [To run - au3 examples ... How to get started:]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[WHAT TO DOWNLOAD]
1) Download form this site latest rev of oIrrLicht Win32-VisualStudio.rar
   https://sourceforge.net/projects/autoitoirrlicht/files/oIrrLicht/
2) Download irrlicht 1.8.1 (or version declared in rev) from irrlicht or site that is hosting its package site.
   https://sourceforge.net/projects/autoitoirrlicht/files/oIrrLicht/
3) I assume that you already have AutoIt installed, if not here's the link.
   https://www.autoitscript.com/cgi-bin/getfile.pl?autoit3/autoit-v3-setup.exe

[WHAT GOES WHERE]
1) Extract everything from rev of oIrrLicht Win32-VisualStudio.rar to "irrlicht-1.8\bin\Win32-VisualStudio"






-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 3/4 [To build - recompile irrlicht dll, rewrite - expose irrlicht funcs:]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[WHAT TO DOWNLOAD]
1) Download form this site latest rev of oIrrLicht Win32-VisualStudio.rar
   http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/downloads/
2) Download irrlicht 1.8.1 (or version declared in rev) from irrlicht or site that is hosting its package site.
   https://sourceforge.net/projects/autoitoirrlicht/files/oIrrLicht/
3) Download and install "Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition" (it have free licence, if on first compile you get error missing windows.h repair your visual c++  from original instalation exe coz it have instalation bug)
   http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=7729279  (hope link will not broke ower time)
4) Download and install "Microsoft DirectX SDK (June 2010)" (around 600 mb large, its needed to compile and run with D3D render)(not everyone need this but its nice to have D3D render option aveable, you just need to instal it and nothing else, it just need to be there so irrlicht can pull its libaries automaticly when recompiling)

[WHAT GOES WHERE]
1) Extract everything from rev of oIrrLicht Win32-VisualStudio.rar to "irrlicht-1.8\bin\Win32-VisualStudio"
2) Move and replace downloaded irrlicht.h from .rar file to "\irrlicht-1.8\include\"

[PROJECT FILE]
Irrlicht9.0.vcproj is your project file, locate it inside irrlicht folders, its defolt location is "irrlicht-1.8\source\Irrlicht\", take its shorcut and put it in "irrlicht-1.8\bin\Win32-VisualStudio" coz there are your other files and that is location where youl get your compiled dll.

[RECOMPILING DLL]
1) Start Irrlicht9.0.vcproj with Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition
2) Sellect irrlicht.h from left side of meny in Visual C++ 2008 if you need to edit and by dooing so add and expose new funcs in it you do it in that file ( [Solution 'irrlicht9.0' (1 project)] -> [include] -> [irrlicht.h]).
3) Compile project (sellect "build" and your option [build or rebuild solution or irrlicht] from Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition meny)
4) Have fun and do a LIKE on youtube :P https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCBG6C-XmsU

This project is not original version of irrlicht.
This project is not by any means full wrapper for irrlicht.
This project is example (guide) of how to recompile and add (aka expose, wrap) funcs on original dll and recompile project so that other languages can use dll call functions from it, or access from autoit with Object calls.
