well why dont you just rub it all over my face ive oredered with them b4 and they were good. its just typical that something i really want, i cant have. Does the darkbasic demo have all the commands? i never really bothered with it. Dl'ed it once but didnt see the point in it since it didnt have help

Well go download the DBP demo, I think it just puts a hugh water mark, and I don't think you can make exe's but it will get you started, and wipe up those tears.
<edit> If you already installed it over 30 days not sure if it will run again. there is a on-line help system somewhere,,RGT, i can't remember for sure.

It's not the size of your code but how efficiently you use it!

no i just like the big list of caommands with examples. darkbasic manual is like a bible. I was gonna take the db pro one to college today and memorise it on the bus but it never came. i mite dl demo or i might just play some games. the latter seems more appealing.

ha ha , ok well take a magnifying glass, it's about the size of those pocket bibles. ahh it's a little bigger. That is my only complaint about the manual, I really wish I could find a word, pdf, or anything so I could printout my own. I know it's big but I print out large documents all the time.

the manual is a bit lacking on content too but which is a shame but there are still loads of tuts around and always someone willing to help.

I'm pretty sure that you can request your money back. They've got to have some policy for that. Good luck.

If you want fresh underwear in the morning, take it off the night before.

I dont believe it, sons of bitches! amazon did it again. They sed it would be here today even tho i ordered on the 8th of april on next day delivery and now its the 14th. But guess what? postman's been, and no dbpro, and they arent even compensating me... all these sleepless nights just wasiting for it, its like christmas everyday and argh im going mad here. Ive managed to make myself bored of everything else and the one thing i want is the one thing i cant have.

hang in there or ask for a refund.

If u purchased DBP from www.realgametools.com u get the bonus of Character FX with the current bundle.

It took 3weeks for the product to land in australia and I went nuts hanging out so I feel for you also.

In the end tho it will happen which ever provider u choose to purchase from.

You only get deals that you see on RGT when you order on RGT. I would suggest ordering from them, it may take a while to get there, but it eventually will and Rich is very friendly and helpful.

Oh, and those of us who purchased from RGT got the manuels in PDF form, not sure if anyone else did. (This was before we got the hardcopy manuels btw, they might not come in PDF anymore, and I'm not sure if I'm aloud to put them on the net.)

If I were you, I would demand my money back. Not be email either, use a phone if you can find a number, otherwise you may never get a response. Besides, if you got vouchers from collage, they will pay you back, and you'll have gained some mullah
