Is there a way to use the MinZ and MaxZ fields of the the D3DVIEWPORT struct in DBPro to fix clipping?

As a sidenote - can you get the DX8 handle(s) for passing to other programs (eg DLL's etc) ?

Yes, I really am THAT good...

The 'SET CAMERA RANGE MinZ, MaxZ' is used for setting the near and far clipping planes.

The max camera range is to low for our game!
We need to render the objects in a special order, so access to the z-buffer is necessary... can this be done with c++dlls ??? Any suggestions ?

Our game is a space simulation with real scale objects (Planets, ships, etc.)

what is the max camera range?
Meaning that I once did a space simulation in normal DB with camera range of 100 000 000... and quite huge planets and all. It was fun, but there were some clipping errors.

why the need for special z order? could you explain it a bit more...?
