Awesome, that works perfectly, thanks!

Is there any way to access io::createFileSystem() from within an application? I need to get ahold of my configuration files prior to createDevice.

Games for Windows: Technical Requirements

That explains a lot about Vista integration to achieve the Games For Windows logo.

Do you know of any terrain paging systems? I have found little to nothing useful on Google with that term.

The idea of individual objects for each tile makes a lot of sense. You should create a new scene node with the array of all tiles and render them manually. Individual scene nodes at that scale would be too intensive, plus look at the advantages. This will allow you to have the hexagonal tiles you wa...

The GC (Garbage Collector) might be cleaning it up if the MyEventHandler object is stored as a pointer. Try setting a global variable first. Public Class Engine Public TheEventHandler As MyEventHandler Public Sub Initiate TheEventHandler = New MyEventHandler; . . . initialize device . . . device.Eve...

The ranking would work, just prevent users from creating topics, but allow replying to existing ones. Anything posted that's decent can be moved to where appropriate. Then they can still reply to their own post. The guest account is more of a hinderance (I always forget to login) but yes, it should ...

I just want to toss this out since I came across it: http://www.physicsengine.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=752 All my buildings are precompiled .wmb files. Is there a way to apply the physics to these entities such that they don't move. Also, can you make models so that other physics objects bounce off...

In reference to Freelancer, it pointed the guns at a point on the object that the mouse was over. It actually seems to have a collision mesh that would allow your mouse to slip "between the cracks" just a bit. It uses that, and apparently a far plane. I don't know the math of doing so but ...

I think your best bet would be to use the terrain system with a height map, then translate/rotate it so that it slopes down hill. Make sure you rotate all your objects at the base point so they sit upright. This will give you the benefits of the already implemented methods for collision detection. C...
