Usually, when someone posts a link but can't be bothered to actually make a link from it, then I can't be bothered to look at it. I think that it is a reasonable reaction.

However, on this occasion, I actually copied & pasted the link into the browser to see what it was and was subjected to another series of 6 or more links.

COME ON! What is it that you want us to look at?
If it is as impressive as you say then make the effort to show us. On the other hand if you can't be bothered to make a proper link then it probably isn't worth looking at.

Here you go lazy... it took you longer to complain about it than to copy and paste it.

No, he's right.

And you could just edit the first post you made and change it so it works... instead the reader now spends the time to copy and paste the link, then comes to find out that you fixed it a few posts down and wants to explicative you.

Yes the game runtime version is available only to game or engine developers as they state on their site that their product is not middleware. I highly doubt TGC will integrate this with DarkBasic as they ask you to email them for the price. That means it's at least a 4 figure sum of money.

This is old.. Many games uses this engine.. There is also offline version of this wich you can simulate first the animations and then export.. But if you want always unique animation you need the real-time version.

That's another video that's non-specific to GTAIV, but shows the difference between them and ragdolls.

Amazing though.

that video was just....scary. i bet there are still a lot of programming or scripting involved in making those animations real-time. there has to be some definition to it because you cant just say 'character die' or 'character tackle' and expect it to do as you wish. besides, it comes with an editor which means there must be scripting or some sort of strings attached.

DrReaper : it's fantastic !!! thank you. I always wanted to see this
Lazy people : don't go off topic with useless stuff ... nobody puts a gun to your head saying "VISIT THE LINK" ... if your fingers are too numb to make CTRL-C + CTRL-V then so be it ... but just to show you how pathetic this is, you've spent 30-60 seconds to complain while instead you could have just copied the damn link ... no further comments as I'm sick of wining people ... in a more serious situation, you'd starve to death cause you were too lazy to unpack the pack of food ...

Could you help me treat my injured Dino-Fly ?

I just bought this game today, thanks to watching this video
The physics are awesome, so are the graphics. No lag either!

But still, i am one of those who play a good game for 10 minutes and then come up with an idea to create my own
