I was looking at the Dark Basic Game Programming book.
It showed a Make Camera command. Is this for DBC also,
or just in DBP?

I'm 99.9% sure that multiple cams are not supported in DBC. The only DarkBasic programming book on the market says it's a Pro-only feature. Unless something's changed recently (like a DBC upgrade patch), I think the answer is no...

In the book, Dark Basic Game Programing, it dosen't say what it is for, and it dosen't work in DBC when I tried it.

Is this only in Pro, or is there some kind of patch that will do this?
Is there a dll that can do it?

Multiple camera -IS- supported. You gotta find a split-screen camera code in the codebase to see how do you do multiple cameras.

I'm not gonna show code now, I'm tired, but the trick behind it is to position the camera in the first camera position, rotate it and all, then move it to the second camera position, rotate it again to where it must rotate, and then continue the loop...

[edit]
By the way...what's this doing in the 3D chat forum?!

I know about moving the camera really fast to make is simulate multiple cameras. I've seen code about it before. It is a little laggy when you do that and does not work to good.

I was just wondering. Thats all.

By the way, cool FF9 pic, and I don't remember putting this into a 3D Chat. I thought it was in DB Classic fourms. Oh well.
