Re: Introducing myself and a mod question

So for all entities their movement is tied into their orientation. That does kind of make it impossible apart from the teleport hack. With the teleport function is the resolution in tiles because the fact a vehicle goes forward and backwards smoothly means a vehicle can be a faction inside a tile bo...

I have spent the evening trying to get a hello world mod up and running but my lad has been calling me away to help with his Jurassic Park Evo game so I have not been able to focus and I will hopefully get something running over the weekend. I know it will never be very realistic drivin...
