Hi y'all

Just purchased DBPro (and the enhancement pack thingie) and to be fair I am struggling. Not so much with the programming, I'm used to that, but more finding out commands and their syntax.

For instance aparantly there is an advanced terrain thingie that was added in update 5.8.....which contains the functions I need (matrixes arent vutting the mustard for me), but I have nothing about it listed in the help files. All I can find is a list of commands on the DBP update page with no syntax or explaination, not very helpful.

There seems to be lots of posts on forums where users keep using commands that just plain aren't in the help file.

Am I missing something or are the help files just incomplete?

Is there a great place that offers a more upto date list of commands and their syntax?

PS. I have already manually gone through the help folder on my pooter and found nothing helpful in my search for the mysterious terrain commands.

Thanks in advance for your wise & helpful words.

The help files are indeed lacking, Jessticular's site above is your best option.
