VB6 and WADS

What sourcecodes / OCX's are available for VB6 to access wad files?

Well for map stuff you can check out DoomBuilders source code.

Also, Wintex was written in VB, though I recall that it used lots of dlls written in C for some of it's stuff, as well as using an external program for some stuff(deutex), but it might be worth checking out too.

That definitly helped. Thanks!

Still I'm stuck with the class. How do I call the clsWad class? Can't find any definition to use.

Someone else will have to help you with that. I have a vague idea of what it is, but no clue whatsoever of how to actually use it, heh.

Well, like any other class.

Make a new project, add the clsWAD.cls file to the project, and then with code like this:

Dim MyWadClass As New clsWad

MyWadClass.OpenWad ("c:\temp\somewad.wad")
MsgBox "size is" & MyWadClass.WadSize

'etc.
