#2 Hey Chris, haven't seen your name in a while, getting into Torque dev eh?

I'd recommend posting your question to the DIRECTXDEV mailing list or, I believe there is a Windows game dev mailing list. Microsoft monitors them and is usually pretty quick to respond. You may want to search the archives there, some of this has already been addressed I believe.

#3 Wow, it's Chris! Hope all is well with you and best of luck with your current endevors. Sadly I have no help to offer :(

#4 Hey Brian. One of my Developers has already done that. I decided to see if the Garage Games community had run into the same problem.

Hey Zod! What are you doing these days?

Chris
