Installation

Since v0.8.3.2265 we provide an easy-to-use installer.

Download the Zip-Archive, extract it and run the “Gorilla3DInstaller.exe”. Download Installer for Windows

WARNING: Previously manually installed packages have to be uninstalled before running the installer. Otherwise path settings may be conflicting.

Select the desired IDE version you want a package to install for.

Click “Install” to start the process.

The application will download, extract and configure everything for you.

In case you have no access to the Installer Tool, you can still install the package manually.

Please follow the instructions.

You can download the latest Developer-Edition packages for your specific Delphi DX version at https://gorilla3d.de/files/

Go to the “packages” folder, choose your Delphi IDE version and download the highest version.

Latest Package (for Community Edition): https://gorilla3d.de/files/packages/10.4.2/Gorilla3D_Delphi_C%2B%2B_10.4.2_0.8.4.2341-pre.zip

The Developer-Edition is free for development purposes and max. 5 developers. When releasing your project you need to purchase the Commercial-Version!

The free developer-edition contains the same features like the commercial version, it only contains multiple visual and hardcoded watermarks.

Download the zip-archive and unpack anywhere (<installation-directory>).

In Delphi IDE go to:

• Menu: Components > Install packages
• Move to directory: “<installation-directory>\Win32\Release”
• Select the package files for installation:
  • “Gorilla3D_Delphi_10_4_2_Sydney.bpl”
  • “Gorilla3D_DesignTime_10_4_2.bpl”
• Click “Open”

After packages were added, we need to configure compiled source-code (DCU) paths. This depends on the IDE version you are using.

Notice: For Win32 platform paths should already exist in most IDE versions.

To insert DCU's go to:

1. Menu: Tools > Options > Language > Delphi-Options > Library
2. Select “Windows 32-Bit” platform on top
3. Go to “Library-Path” input field and add the “<installation-directory>\Win32\Release\”
4. Repeat this analog for “Windows 64-Bit” and “Android” platforms

To insert DCU's go to:

1. Menu: Tools > Options > Environmentoptions > Delphi-Options > Library
2. Select “Windows 32-Bit” platform on top
3. Go to “Library-Path” input field and add the “<installation-directory>\Win32\Release\”
4. Repeat this analog for “Windows 64-Bit” and “Android” platforms

By manual installation we need to take care of a few DLL files. The IDE should be able to find those files at DesignTime, because while working in Delphi, the current directory is the IDE binary folder, not your project folder:

f.e. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\22.0\bin\"

1. Copy FMOD (audio library) DLL to BDS directory
   • “<installation-directory>\lib\fmod\windows\fmodL.dll” to “C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\22.0\bin\”
2. Copy OpenSSL DLL files to BDS directory or ensure the system is able to find them automatically by environment variables
   • OpenSSL is needed by the embedded AssetsStore to download prefabs from web
   • “libeay32.dll” and “ssleay32.dll” to “C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\22.0\bin\”
   • You can download OpenSSL at: https://www.openssl.org/source/
