sweet :-D
I hate to sound happy about something that seems so horrible but it looks
good to me, I don't think AWCom could keep it up for much longer and if this
X3D place can do a better job, it'd be great :-) Hopefully they lower the
prices, too :-P hehe.

The textures used on terrain don't work too well. A piece the width of 1
pixel and length of the entire texture is chopped off of one side and put on
the other, making it look pretty bad when the texture is a transition from
grass to dirt and whatnot. Sounds like an easy bug to fix, but I just wanted
to bring it to AWCom's attention so it can be fixed in the next update. :-)

Alright, let's hope it's fixed in the next build *crosses fingers* :-D

I find it to be pretty useless and actually quite annoying when I go to run
into something and it slides me all the way through the object. And it makes
it near impossible to make a paintball world without people cheating by
sliding through walls! It's just a pain so far and I see nothing good from
it.
It needs to be fixed or taken out!

The e-mail will only be sent if the email address entered matches the e-mail
adrress in the citizen's information.
Also, a 40yo guy could do this just as easily as a kid. If people are going
to be idiots about this, then they are going to lose. I'm not worrying
because I'm not dumb enough to do such a stupid thing.

first of all, it'd take one heck of a programmer to figure that out. And
even if they did, they'd only have your password that is encoded with sa
bunch of crap. You'd have to know how to decrypt it as well, which includes
lots of other computer information.
Quite frankly, matt is a dumbass and couldn't do any of that if his life

In about 6 - 8 months, I'll have a REALLY nice comp and then this shit one

lol, the great thing about PC Games is that they update so if you buy it and
it has a bug (especially right after it comes out) there's a good chance the
bug will be fixed within a couple months.
I'd suggest getting WarCraft3. It's not out yet, but I've been playing a
leaked beta (I'm not really a beta tester, jut getting onto a cracked
battle.net server with a warez beta). I'm loving it :-)
What kind of vid card do you have, anyway? I have a Voodoo3 and I know it
has tons of problems with other games cause they made it differently than
most vid cards are and it screws things up.

Hmm... I've heard some bad things about Radeon. Some problems with
compatibility with some games and programs.
I don't know how War3 could be a letdown at all. They'd have to really screw
up to fuck it up at this point.
Get the beta :)
