Fly3D? You might want to find another name. There's Fly, Fly2K, Fly II games out there. ALso, theres the Fly 3D engine (http://www.fly3d.com.br). Just a heads up.

P.S. Oh, and great job on ctrls. Looks awesome.

Fly3D .... i did not have a great inspiration for that name, sure.

In fact on my website its called Fly! as it is more or less some experimentations with the v12 engine even if we want to make something playable and nice.

Our real in-mind game is something else, but we must have a small and well defined game to start with in order to learn v12.

Fraaank!

You havent replied to my mail.. can you send me the model and terrain controls? I dont want to duplicate effort if I can avoid it.

I'll add them to the list of controls we should put into the V12 (once we have a decent amount of new hud elements).

If you dont want to share thats ok, but I'm guessing by the tut you do.

Phil.

Sorry,

I will look at my personnal email tonight and send you the sources.

The only way to upload/publish stuff on the GG site right now is to use the HowTo or Code Snippets resources. I think there is a 40K limit on the code snippet file you can upload, but that should be enough for small (compressed) demos/tutorials. I've also started a V12 Engine resource category and tutorial sub-categories, so you can categorize your HowTo's or Code Snippets. We'll try to get get V12 related resources displayed on the V12 home page or somewhere where they'll be a little more visible.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the code snippet a public forum ?

If it is, can I put the source of the tutorial on my website, it will be fast for me (I can also post the resource in GarageGame).

Well here's just my $0.02 :-) why not just make a patch file? Then there shouldn't be any problems with the v12 NDA that I can forsee and I've seen publicly accessable patches for NDA'ed code before. I would suggest GNU diffutils as it is very easy to use (as long as you don't have command line phobia) and availibe for many platforms including Win32. I can explain how to use it if anyone wants to know. Just a thought.

It's .htm not .html

Here's what it should look like:

Oups.
I have corrected the link in the GG resources.
By the way, I will soon update the DTS viewer to include more functionnalities, and some example.
