Personnally, some of the custom robots are pretty cool... but I'd say 75% of them are just not worth the time.

I must not be understanding something.

I can't seem to get the SpeedBoost cube feature to have any effect. I'm probably doing something simple wrong.

Thanks for the changes to the lighting "refresh" when working with the Textures tools. Love it. 8)


Now I'm trying to work with positioning some bots... I can't seem to change their angle (point the bots in a specific direction). Am I missing something?

When I said "Editing Textures" I meant those times I assigning textures, adjusting the texture alignment, setting light levels, etc.

Every system I've tried DLE-XP on shows the "memory leak" problem... tho I admit I haven't had the chance to check it on my Win98 system.

Sounds like he's using IE.

If so...
1. From the Tools menu, select "Internet Options..." and in the resulting dialog box, click the "Advanced" tab.
2. Make sure "Reuse windows for launching shortcuts" IS NOT check-marked.

That might help.
