but the code needs to move a bit quicker - actually it might just be this pc here at work(i think it has a 133 under the hood)

@IanG

yup, 400+ textured plains can cause problems for slow pc's, I only get about 10FPS on a 2.6Ghz laptop with a ATI IGP345 graphics chip.
mabey there are some drunken elements in the code. the blending on the sphere thingy at the bottom right can slow things down a bit as well. (it works ok on everything else i have run it on, but a 133!!! WOW strait out of the ark man.

cheers. geecee3.

@IanG, glad to hear it works ok on your home pc.

hehe. i was looking at your sig, the registered in september 2003 bit.

I dug out my DBC manual and found this scribbled inside the front cover.

registered in the summer of 2002 @ an easy everything internet cafe, so as i could download the updates and burn them to a cd. I had no net access of my own back then and so could not join in the forum activities.

Now i feel even older, damn. LOL.

cheers geecee3.

PS. the 3 at the end of my forum name comes from the fact that someone hi-jacked my 'geecee' name on hotmail after i hadn't signed in for a couple of months. heavy. so now i'm geecee3.
