I want to know because I have become quite good with that program and I think I could make some very complex buildings and interiors. I had an Idea to make buildings and interiors for those building then just positioning them onto a matrix but would this work? I am sure there would be some problem (probably with collisions) but it seem like it would work. Have any of yall tried it?

Good question. I'd like to know other peoples' experiences with problems similar in Milkshape.

Currently, I'm trying using Milkshape to make levels for a 3D overhead shooter. Getting textures positioned just the way you want them is a pain in the neck, but I think I'm getting the hang of it. However, I'm segmenting my scrolling levels in screen sizes for both memory and ease of texturing.

If you ask me, go for it, as long as you feel you've got a really good grasp on the texturing issues.

How do dll's work? are they hard to install? I would get their dll but I have never used one before. I am not sure I would be able to figure it out I am not to good with computers (Lets just say I come from a sort of hill billy family that doesnt really use comps alot I am like a strange computer god to them).

Matt at Nuclear Glory has great one on one customer support. Visit their site at www.nuclearglory.com When they are online, you can chat live with them to help solve all your troubles A DLL simply is just a set of new commands. Just like an enhancement pack. If you get the DarkMATTER Enhancement pack (required for use of DLLs) you can simply

Load DLL DLLName,DLLNumber which will load the DLL and give you support to whatever it offers

Easy enough eh?
