Hi people. I've just started programming in DarkBASIC. Only got the demo at the moment, but will be buying it when I get the cash together. Only been using it since Saturday.
So far I'm only experimenting. Just learning really. So far I've managed to create a matrix and use a simple bitmap as a displacement map and displace the matrix. I've given it a simple (yet horrible) texture to give it some kind of graphics. I've also managed to make a driveable 3D object which goes around, following the terrain (though doesn't bank on hills, only nose up/down so far). Quite pleased so far!
Anyhoo. I've briefly experimented with trying to make the matrix be lit properly, but without success. How exactly do I make it take its lighting from the light I've made? Also I did initially get the terrain commands working, but found them much less powerful compared to the more manual matrix approach, is this correct? Also how do you put different tiles on different parts of the matrix? I'd like to crack these issues later on when I get home from work, so some help would be....well helpful
Thanks
Nick
