===Development===
* DEV7 was developed by I.C.E Development for [[Coktel Vision]].
* The Development began in the year 2000 and from there the DEV7 era began until 2008
* DEV7 was initally developed for the so called ADI 5-Project.
* DEV7 is an virtual Speech machine.

===Compiler===
* Former versions (1.0.0.0,1.1.0.0,.1.2.0.0 (not the 1.20a release) used standalone Visual Studio 6.0 build 8168)
* Intel Compiler was initially used in version 1.20a of Loader7.exe
* Later versions of LOADER7 used Intel(R) C++ Compiler for 32-bit applications in version 5.0.1 Build 010922Z used with Visual Studio 6.0 build 8168 (SP5) as Compiler.
* OS used to compile DEV7 1.3.0.0 was Windows 2000 Professional (SP2)
* DEV7 1.3.0.0 (1.30, 1.30a, 1.30b) is using various Compiler flags: -I -O2 -Ob2 -G6 -Qvc6 -Qlocation -MT -DWIN32 -c -Fo -D_WINDOWS -Iinclude -DCURE_SOFT_USE_TILETMAP
* DEV7 1.20a used this Compiler flags: DPOLYFILLER_USE_RENDER_555ASM -DPOLYFILLER_USE_RENDER_555C -DPOLYFILLER_USE_RENDER_888
* Older DEV7 version (most likely 1.0.0.0) used the /MAP flag to generate an Loader7.map debug symbol file.
* used CPP files in the Compiler: CVMDDecoder.cpp, C2DSurfaceFill.cpp, C2DSurfaceBitBlt.cpp, AudioDecompressor.cpp, CUREImage.cpp, MUtilsSqrt.cpp, MUtilsMatrix.cpp, MUtilsQuaternion.cpp, AudioCompressor.cpp, mmxMemcpy.cpp, C2DSurfacePixel.cpp, C2DSurfaceCopy.cpp, C2DSurfaceMove.cpp, C2DSurfaceBlend.cpp, AudioAdpcmCodec.cpp, CUREImageQuant.cpp, scanline_ArbitraryTextureAlone.cpp, scanline_Flat.cpp, scanline_Gouraud.cpp, scanline_TextureAffine.cpp, scanline_TextureAffineGouraud.cpp, scanline_TextureCorrected.cpp, scanline_TextureCorrectedGouraud.cpp, scanline_ZBuffer.cpp, MUtils.cpp, CUREImageScale.cpp, ObjectNodeCollide.cpp, OctreeQuant.cpp, OctreeQuantDither.cpp, ModelSphere.cpp, ModelTriangle.cpp, ModelBox.cpp, ModelSphereCollide.cpp, ModelBoxCollide.cpp, ModelTriangleCollide.cpp, OBBTreeCollide.cpp
* LOADER7.exe / Dev7VM.exe was built for NT version 4.0 and still works without any issues under Windows 11.

===STK21/OBC===
===Identify ===
*Dev7 uses a newer Version for the STK Files
How i know which Version i have?
*Dev7 also introduces the File format OBC they are used for to switch the Places in the Environment
*If your LOADER7.exe have a blue icon then you have Version 1.3.0.0 to verify it you can go to Properties > Details and then File & Product Version will show 1.3.0.0 and it also shows the Original Filename Dev7VM.exe
*If you have for your LOADER7.exe a normal empty icon you have Version 1.0.0.0 / 1.1.0.0 or 1.2.0.0  to verify it you can go to Properties > Details and then File & Product Version will show 1.0.0.0 / 1.1.0.0 or 1.2.0.0
 
===STK21/OBC ===
*DEV7 uses a newer Version for the STK Files (V2.0 & V2.1)
*DEV7 also introduces the new Script System OBC that replaces the old TOT Script System from DEV6.
*OBC was developed in the Year 1999 by MDO (Coktel Vision's Programmer)
*OBC is also known as Compiled DEV7 object
*OBC is similar from the beginning to TOT, if OBC and TOT is side by side compared you can see at the beginning that both has a Copyright Year included.
*Each OBC Script contains a unique ID, its created out of the Year (first 4 numbers) then Month (next 2 numbers) the last are not yet sure.
----
* OBC Functions
** DecObcLoadRef() (most likely stands for Decode OBC Load Reference)
----
*OBC Script names:
----
*Adibou 3
----
* AS_ANIMPLAYERSCRIPT gets triggered if Adibou says something or Adibou do other things. (because it begins with AS it maybe has something to do with the .AS Files) (Usecase: Player)
* AS_ANIMSCRIPTDATAS checks the .CTRK files and also the .AS Files
* B3_SOUND_ATMOS is for the Sounds in the Background. (nothing that get speaks by Adibou or something else) (Usecase: Other)
* SD_PICTURE if Adibou explains something or a VMD is playing. (Usecase: VMD)
* SD_OBJECT when a VMD File is playing.
* SD_SOUND gets been used if you press on the Horn in the Car (Scienes Application) and maybe in also other situations in the Game that are not discovered yet. (Usecase: Other)
* B3D_TM_CAR this is when you drive with the Car. (in the Sciences Application) (Usecase: Other)
* B3L_WEA Makes Sounds for the Weather. (Hocus Pocus Application) (Usecase: VMD)

Development

  • DEV7 was developed by I.C.E Development for Coktel Vision.
  • The Development began in the year 2000 and from there the DEV7 era began until 2008
  • DEV7 was initally developed for the so called ADI 5-Project.

Compiler

  • Former versions (1.0.0.0,1.1.0.0,.1.2.0.0 (not the 1.20a release) used standalone Visual Studio 6.0 build 8168)
  • Intel Compiler was initially used in version 1.20a of Loader7.exe
  • Later versions of LOADER7 used Intel(R) C++ Compiler for 32-bit applications in version 5.0.1 Build 010922Z used with Visual Studio 6.0 build 8168 (SP5) as Compiler.
  • OS used to compile DEV7 1.3.0.0 was Windows 2000 Professional (SP2)
  • DEV7 1.3.0.0 (1.30, 1.30a, 1.30b) is using various Compiler flags: -I -O2 -Ob2 -G6 -Qvc6 -Qlocation -MT -DWIN32 -c -Fo -D_WINDOWS -Iinclude -DCURE_SOFT_USE_TILETMAP
  • DEV7 1.20a used this Compiler flags: DPOLYFILLER_USE_RENDER_555ASM -DPOLYFILLER_USE_RENDER_555C -DPOLYFILLER_USE_RENDER_888
  • Older DEV7 version (most likely 1.0.0.0) used the /MAP flag to generate an Loader7.map debug symbol file.
  • used CPP files in the Compiler: CVMDDecoder.cpp, C2DSurfaceFill.cpp, C2DSurfaceBitBlt.cpp, AudioDecompressor.cpp, CUREImage.cpp, MUtilsSqrt.cpp, MUtilsMatrix.cpp, MUtilsQuaternion.cpp, AudioCompressor.cpp, mmxMemcpy.cpp, C2DSurfacePixel.cpp, C2DSurfaceCopy.cpp, C2DSurfaceMove.cpp, C2DSurfaceBlend.cpp, AudioAdpcmCodec.cpp, CUREImageQuant.cpp, scanline_ArbitraryTextureAlone.cpp, scanline_Flat.cpp, scanline_Gouraud.cpp, scanline_TextureAffine.cpp, scanline_TextureAffineGouraud.cpp, scanline_TextureCorrected.cpp, scanline_TextureCorrectedGouraud.cpp, scanline_ZBuffer.cpp, MUtils.cpp, CUREImageScale.cpp, ObjectNodeCollide.cpp, OctreeQuant.cpp, OctreeQuantDither.cpp, ModelSphere.cpp, ModelTriangle.cpp, ModelBox.cpp, ModelSphereCollide.cpp, ModelBoxCollide.cpp, ModelTriangleCollide.cpp, OBBTreeCollide.cpp
  • LOADER7.exe / Dev7VM.exe was built for NT version 4.0 and still works without any issues under Windows 11.
