Hi all,

I have downloaded DBPro manuals vol1 and 2, but the pdf only seems to contain the first half of vol 2.

Am I being daft again, or has something gone wrong?

Any comments appreciated (unless they are pointing out my daftness )

And remember...a puppy is the purest form of life....

Where did you download them from?

I thought only sample pages were available in electronic format?

I'd buy the book, but the cost of shipping to the states pushes the cost beyond what I'm willing to pay for it. As a veteran programmer, I want the parts described in the last chapters.

If I had to choose: I'd rather have the ability to create something, than know something.

I have Volume 2 and its a very good reference despite the omission of sliding collision (though its noted in the chapter contents!).

Volume 2 concentrates on 3d, texturing and lighting.

They are expensive but worth it in the long run if you're serious about DBP.

I've also got the Beginners Guide to Darkbasic Programming - its a bit dated now but still has some very useful content and general background / good practice procedures for games programming, along with some good example code (and a CD). Not sure what the overlap is between Hand On Vol 1 and the beginners guide, or if this one is still available but it could be an alternative to getting Vol 1.
