In the “Extending Game Maker” forum, we find lots of good scripts and DLLs for download, all of them could be useful for many games, and we’re going to point out some of the useful DLLs, and some of them didn’t get that much attention. This is part two of our article.

[edit] N Menu
This dll did really make lots of buzz in the past, and for some reason – the buzz is back! Everyone is just fascinated by this DLL the same as they were fascinated about one year ago – when it was first created. With this DLL, you can create a nice menu on top of the GM executable window; it can contain main items, sub items like, as well as sub-menus that contain items inside, like “Send To” “Toolbars” etc. BEWARE of this excellent DLL!
[edit] GM Physics
By coderchris
This DLL is one of the most excellent ones indeed! It has a very well-done realistic physics with many highly wanted features, like water system, ragdolls, boxes, joints, rays, wind, magnetism, the most exciting explosions, body layers, custom polygons, and basically: everything you can dream of in a very high speed! Just visit its topic at the GMC to find its download link and a complete list of its fantastic features.
[edit] GMWW DLL (Game Maker Windows Widgets)
By Roach
In part 1 of this article, we have described many good scripts that would actually imitate windows features like text boxes, list boxes, and windows, but when we’re talking about DLLs, its not about imitating anymore, its about the actual features and implementing them! The GMWW is probably the most expanded and updated windows widgets dll in the GMC, and it’s really helpful for those who like to develop applications with Game Maker, or those who need it for some reason in their games.
[edit] Ultimate 3D
Though this 3D Engine is somehow old, it is still a high-quality 3D engine that works really well and does the job done. Probably there has been little interest in such DLL because of Game Maker 6’s 3D Functions, but still, speed and other fantastic features of Ultimate 3D may actually cause us to prefer using this dll over GM’s d3d functions. It has light mapping, pixel shader support, shadows, textures, lens flare, sky boxes, advanced culling, and much more!
