Just thinking... Doesn't it take twice the development time to create both a PRO and a lite version?

No, welcome to the wonderful world of compile time conditional defines. As long as you keep the Lite version a subset of the Pro version that is a very clean and managable way of doing things.

Ofcourse it is a lot more work than just a single version, but I think the multiplier amounts to something like 1.2, not 2 *lol*.

Build Update 1.23:
- Added network delta support using Actions for TagcModel
- Added network delta support using Actions for TagcMeshNode
- Enhanced network performance 100x
- Tested performance from 10 miles away. Seems to be almost instantaneous.
- Tested performance from Monroe,WA to Alton, Hampshire. Seems to only lag by a second or two.

* New Release version 1.29 * http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=101941&package_id=139445&release_id=306774

The most notable changes are:
* Major performance updates
* All aspects of the model are now collaborative (vertexes, colors and textures) -- Any change you do, you'll friends will see
* You can now import textures from a file into the scene (supports BMP,JPG,PNG)
* The server is now running on Linux with Apache/Mod Mono/XSP which was changed from originally using Windows/IIS

Well this was a nice read while waiting for glue to dry; to mad to work on anything. I have a temper, and I don't mean a bit of one. So i am gluing my game controler back together.

I have the opposite problem as most of you, plenty of computer time and no job; I'm a seasonal employ of MO agra bussnes, they're late calling me back to work this year. And no idea how to do any programing.

Actually I'm very envious of you all, My computer training is very old, and fairly well usless today. At one time I was fluent in GWBasic Laughing

. Latin as comp languges go. I also preffer texturing over modeling. Doesn't matter how good the model is if the textures are crap. In fact good textures can make a bad model look good Very Happy

.
And as far as programing games, I understand enough about it to know I don't want to try it, it's way beyond me. I could write a good game, but there is no way I could program it. Laughing

So what I am saying is you all do some great stuff, please keep it up.

Well, first of all, I'd recommend not to destroy anything, because destroying is easy and constructing and repairing is usually harder.

Second, if you want to give programming a try again, I (and this is a very personal view) would recommend Blitz3D, if you are a Basic kind of guy. It makes it easy to create a model and walk through it (http://www.blitzbasic.com/). There is also a demo to download.

So far my field stress testing of game pads has shown the PS2 dualshock as an outstandingly rugged controler. Laughing

Like I said, i'll leave the game programing up to thoughs that know how to do it. Although it would be nice to have some way to preview the tracks without starting the game. I'm working with GP500 a motorcycle racing game; and even though it's five years old people still say it's the best. I'm just retextureing the tracks right now, and have skinned a bike. But it has all been simple texture swaping. I was working on a 65' Ducati when Meta died on me, and it is now lost in Meta land. Metaseqouia will only save as mqo and nothing will convert it.

What I would realy like to do as far as games go, is write them. I have 5 outlined; as far as interface, game controles, game play, ect. I think my best would be the racing game. there are a few nice online racing games but they have problems. And no insentives. Second would be the western RPG.
I've said this repeatedly scence I have been on line but "I have been playing video games as long as there have been video games". I probebly have consoles that are older then some of the people reading this thead. Laughing
