Instructions

1) Download and install Upgrade 6.2b. You can get it from the download box below these instructions. This upgrade will only work with the full version of DarkBASIC Professional.

2) If you would like to compile the FPS Creator Game Source Code, then you need to download the Upgrade 6.2b Extras pack as well. Unzip the contents into your DarkBASIC Professional folder. It will install new DLLs and source code. If you do not need access to the FPS Creator Game Source, or ODE, then you can skip this part.

3) If you own any of the following plug-ins then you need to download the new versions from your Order History and install them. You will recognise the new plug-ins because the filenames end in v6_2.zip. The plug-ins affected by this Upgrade are: 3D Cloth and Particles. DarkBASIC Professional Enhancement Expansion Pack and Dark A.I.

4) If you have already activated DarkBASIC Professional, you do not need to do this again after installing this Upgrade.

As with any upgrade - always take a backup of your source code (usually your "Projects" folder) before installing. You can access any previous Upgrade on this site, the most recent are: 6.1 and 6.0.
