Aaargh, did you not listen to anything any of us said?!

An extremely brief tutorial that worked for me:
(Uses the grass01.dbo model, provided with all versions of Age. These instructions work for other prefabs, too.)
1. Start AGE.
2. On the left-hand column, click on the + sign next to the 'grass' item.
3. Click grass1.dbo. You will see a ferny thing appear in the middle of the grid. (It's not the actual model, just a 'brush' used to create the model + preview the effect.)
3. To move the fern, click and drag.
4. When done, press 'Enter' to place a fern at that location.

(Note: Use the right-mouse button to turn around (hold & drag), or the right-mouse button + the arrow keys to move around.
WHEN YOU PLACE A (in this case) FERN, NOTE THAT THE CAMERA IS BY DEFAULT TOO FAR AWAY FOR THE RENDERING SYSTEM TO CONSIDER IT IMPORTANT. If you zoom in, you'll see that the model *is* there just fine, just out of the camera range. Also note that the brush will stay where it is, so drag it out the way to be able to see that your lovely fern is, in fact, there.)

Insanity Complex, I haven't got any shots myself, but there's atleast one in this thread, and optical r approved me for using screens of his game which was converted to AGE before he left for uni.

Drew, cheers! I just hope I don't take all of your bandwidth. You'll be needing it when D&C are about, so like, if it does use too much, just take it down. You've been more than helpful already.

And your sig's hot.

This is the sort of documentation you should have posted with AGE.
And I did not mean to offend anyone with 'Ahem' remark.

I thought I did have this sort of document with AGE. I have here anyway.

Now, I demand that everyone who reads this post, has to make themselves a cup of tea, right now.

Tests the beta version of a program in order to find bugs and major glitches in the program so that the publicly released alpha version is not so buggy.

But... you don't actually mirror age... you don't have information about it.... you say you're in the process of 'gathering the information', and you have a link to Drew's mirror of AGE in the sidebar.

Gee, well done. And your site is ad-infested too.

I'm fixing it, but I can't fix the ad infestation, that's a matter of me getting the cash for it. I havent claimed to have my own mirror up yet...But I am working on it. I said I will host it, never said it was up yet, just the page. And that sarcasm was unnecesary and mean. You make me wanna trash my site and stop trying to work on it.


[EDIT] Oops, just realized I forgot to upload updated content for the 3d Modeling and Programming sections of my site...will try to get AGE tonight so I can mirror it. Sorry about this, now I feel swamped and stupid for having not done this all sooner. I have my work cut out for me this week.

Well, this lil' baby is due for an update. I'm not working on it just yet, but I might aswell tell you what is going on. I've been working on AGM for a few months now, and beta one is out the door, being tested by about twenty people.

So, here is my cunning plan, in story form;
First the was AGE, then there was AGM, based off of AGE, but a total re-write all the same. My idea is for the second version of AGE to be a re-write of AGM, so to speak, as AGM has a lot of great things, but most of it is owed to AGE, so it would only be right to pay back the debt.

Oh, and for anyone who hasn't been keeping tabs on AGM, it rocks like Angelina Jolie!

Was that aimed at me? If it was, I was saying I had problems getting the .zip onto my computer from Drew's mirror so I could upload it to my website. And I've seen madmanhosting before, might look into it later, but right now I'm satisfied with my .50megs subdomain.

Hmmm i havent played around with it much but can you load objects? Back to playin around with it
I dont think this is gonna work fer me.....but nice program!


By the way could you create a nice terrain in dbpro and save it as a dbo? Then load it into your program to place objects? Also you couldnt say if you want to right click an item in you terrain it wouldnt be able to examine it could you?

If anyone knows where AGE is at, or if they have it let me know. I will host it on my servers. I have had them for 4 years and I plan on having them for years to come. I am happy to host all sorts of code and media on my sites to help out you DBP users so long as it is not abused.
