I think my road block with altering the DLL and making one of my own out of it comes from not knowing what I can add and where I can put it. My understanding of DLLs in general, is they are a collection of "libraries" that another program calls. In this case, the program doing the calling is rFactor. I assume , that in the code that makes up rFactor are calls to the functions or structures or classes in the DLL. If that is correct, how would rFactor handle a new function or class of my own creation ? How would it know it was there to call ?
Because it has been suggested that I create new variables outside the functions or create my own static class to handle the variables I want to use, I am getting the impression that I am wrong about how this works.
Are there variables that can be used by any class, if I choose to create one, and use within it ? Could I create my own class that has variables in it that the Example.cpp has separated into Scoring and Telelmetry just for easier organization ?
