How did you get that CIA classified material ?????????

depends how detailed you want the placement of trees to be. If you're makeing a flight sim for example then use a heightmap and add trees randomly.

If you want a FPS with tight quarters battle then use a BSP and place trees via entities in that BSP

Just first up - jl0206 most of your recent questions would be assisted by searching for relevant articles at www.gamedev.net - this means you don't need to wait for an answer here (btw google is good too :) also try www.gametutorials.com and for basic OpenGL stuff goto nehe.gamedev.net And in answer...

If you are detecting collision with the edge of the screen then you will need to unproject the ball each frame to get the ball's screen coordinates because in 3D the coordiantes do not relate to the screen pixels (like 2D) but relate to an imaginary 3D world with x, y, z axes. Thus you will need to ...

Seriously you need to animate some fighting moves and play them back using your program.

It sounds like you need to make sure your frustum culling is set up right.

Might be Orthagonal viewing with perspective culling or something like .

There are heaps of beginner's books but what does everyone recommend for the intermediate programmer?

Afaik the light "entity" is not being loaded it is just that the lights in your scene are used as input when the map is compiled to generate the light map. The light maps are just "baked on" ie not interactive. Also ajaik the entities are not loaded in any way yet - there was tal...
