huh, I made, it, but i had to deinstall mz german input szstem and install USA, ONLY,

hmm...but again it shows up, that windows, is reallz ... weird

maybe it can be included client side so that all objects in a certain region around the player are calculated and the rest not.

I dont know about this but I think the client must have a glimp idea of whats happening around the char already for things like hit detection, collision detection (I now, not really working ) , etc. So it already knows, whats on around him then a simple if -> then function should work. (if object hits wall then apply bumpmap on wall at position of hit)

and by the way, there are good looking good gameplay mmorpgs out there. Only diffrence is that in fact their commercial and have big, expensive servers, I dont know how the ps server is organized and what bandwidth it has...

I\'m not very conform with coding but:

in many games footprints, bullets in walls, all dust getting on walls,... are visualized by putting a texture (e.g. a footsprit) on the texture of the hit object (eg the ground).

Now the idea:
why dont take a texture and additionally a bump map and put it on the hit object. Using this technique would alowe bullets to really get into a wall and people running on a beach would leave realy nice fprints.

I think that would really look fantastic. I\'m just wondering, why there are no games doing this jet.

so, all (c)opylefts  are mine, k?
