MTW programming

[Cedrik]

Does somebody know in which lenguaje is programed MTW?
Does it uses DirectPlay API for MP games?

Any information will be usefull for my incoming proyect.

It would be a safe bet to guess MTW was written using C/C++, like 95% of the games released for PC.


It doesn’t look like MTW uses DirectPlay. If you look at the MTW executable with a dependency viewer, there is no trace for DirectPlay dll’s but it calls directly into wsock32.dll, so I guess they implemented their own network layer. It does use other DirectX libraries (Direct3D, DirectDraw, DirectSound).

Hope this helps.
