1.) #include command

for example if you have a seperate source code file like control.dbpro
to include or link it in your main program, you would use #include "control.dbpro"

2. DB Pro doesn't support MAX. It only supports .3DS format and Direct .x format. There are converters online though.

3. I think that Magic World is the most easiest level maker. here is the link to download. http://www.robinking.com/allseeingi

I hope that I helped!!

It's best to avoid using #include command. Change the editor to project view mode and add the files you want to include in the files tab.

You might want to spend some time doing some searched in the 3d forum as there are quite a few different ways to make levels.

you ain't the cops

@The Winch- you are correct, I forgot about that. , but it would be a different story if you use DB Classic.

And don't forget the super small, fast loading DBO file format!

Forum culture lesson: This is a forum and not a chat room. You need more than nine minutes of patience. Someone (sum1 is so 5th grade) that might have an answer for you could be hours or even days later in replying. This is why everyone is so keen to tell newbs that they need to do their own searching and reading of the help files. You are your own best resource. Almost everyone here had to pull themselves up by their boot straps in order to learn.

The manual, the forum, the help files, all the examples files on the CD. They are there to help you to help yourself.

No problem, the forum culture thing is something most people stumble over at the beginning. There's a logic to it that has developed out of practice and profession (both game designers and programmers require precision in writing and communication.)
