looking for a mentor-type person?

hey everyone,

i was just wondering if there was some helpful fellow out there that could answer a few questions i have.
they're not too difficult, but i suppose there's too many to ask at once here.

email? msn?

reply or pm or something if interested.
there's not a whole lot i can do in return, perhaps some photoshop/ texture work or something?

thanks.

Just start of with your first question.
I'm sure people will give you a helping hand. (I'll try but I'm a newbie myself) This is a very nice community here. Usually i get lots of helpfull answers to my questions within just one day.

So... why don'T you just go ahead

And you really are better off posting your questions out in the open.
That way you'll get your answers described in different ways,
so if one persons answer doesnt make it clear, anothers may make more sense.

Also, welcome aboard!

haha thanks everyone.

okay so i'll just list some then
and i can acknowledge they sound like noobish questions, but i get so confused on these, and there's not much information on them!

- why don't my models cast shadows, even though they have the shadow flag set?
- how on earth do you implement shaders, without bringing in all the template code?
- and should it be as hard as tutorials make it out to be, to just get an actor to follow a path at a predefined point?

i'm trying to use as little template code as possible, and am running 70.05 pro.
thanks!

Bunny Alert!
Oh my God!

...and what do you mean by that?

You will see!

Oh i searched something at google. xD

Only click when you can hold it!

What are the odds!

You´re so right,I have clicked the notify button already.

Why do these people tell us that? Shouldn´t they know better when they already do it?

I don´t know maybe they are too stupid...

woah woah woah.

so you're saying the version i have is pirated?
and before you say it i'm not acting stupid or whatever. i own a copy of a6, but a friend said he'd give me a7.

Even if he gave a legal version of a7 to you you are not allowed allowed to use it. Your friend needs to buy a team license.

Ok then i´m sry. Just wondering why there are so many pirated version with exactly this version on the net. Why not updating it? Crac.. aahh.. reg not work anymore?

um, i haven't tried to update it.

so, should i just use my a6 from now on?

You can use it or you can buy/try the new A7. You don´t need to buy the PRO Version. The Commercial one is absolutely enough.

well can my a6 do material reflectivity?
i've been so stumped on that recently.

What edition of A6 do you own?

a6.22
yes, it's old.
i tried to get into game design a while back, then gave up.
i decided to start again because my friend gave me that (pirated..) copy of a7.

Do you have pro?

And the same again!
Oh man what´s going on in your brain.
6.22 is a beta and the most popular A6 WarEz Version.
@Rasch He has Pro and he definetly bought it.LOL
STUPID STUPID STUPID I don´t know if i should hit notify button again....

You mean 6.20...
6.22 was the last, official directX 8.1 version.
MausGame was done with it (6.22 Pro).

Sometimes 6.20 was labeled to 6.22 by crackers - but it´s not the real 6.22...

Just my thought.
I´m pretty sure it is WrZ

BTW:If i would own an old A6 Copy i would update to a higher Version.
