Hey, I've only had DarkBASIC (v113) for little over a week now and I've been kinda kickin' my self for not buying Pro (Amazon.com didn't have it and I had a gift certificate) But recently I've been thinking that it's for the best considering I'm new to DB anyway so I can learn with version 113 then just upgrade to Pro when I get good enough. I only have one concern that hopefully a regular can help me with. Does DBPro have basically the same functions as v113? I know it can do bump-mapping and suports BSP files but I mean will I have to relearn all my functions or will I be able to just dive right in or even easily convert old games to Pro? Thanks for any info!

Most of my programs worked OK in DBpro, and the coding is basically the same. If you are planning a really large project however, wait till u get DBpro, instead of trying to convert, cos it might not work 100%

If you were to start programming something in DB, stay in DB for that project and dont convert if you're new to this.. That will make much less confusion and your game will get done quicker.
