Completed the bitmapped font changes. You can still use your old fonts but characters that are not part of the default set will be displayed as blank characters.

Patience and tolerance are the keys to the passage of knowledge. Even those that are the most knowledgeable started with many questions.

its by chance i come into theis section of the forum as i am not a programmer and whoa!! i wasnt expecting this, however no mention of intergration of DX9?
hows all that coming or is it delayed?

this has taught me a lesson, to check all the forum secitions more often.

I think he's referring to WhiteLyon's Genesis 3D post about AndyCR's "zombie followers". If so...it's getting old already... ;) Keep it up and I'll cast fullcure on you. :)

Scott brings up a good point about the DX9 integration. Is there anything I can help you with to get that going a little faster? I fancy myself quite a Direct3D 9 expert. ;) I've also very proficient with DirectSound and Creative's EAX extensions. I can sure use this for the contest...
