Hello! yay my first post!just a few questions

OK i just bought 3dgs 3 days ago and i would just like to say just fromlooking at the demos It is the best.

1. One problem though is that when i try to open the model editor i get a cant load gxl object how can i fix this?

Also i have a few basic question.
2. If i bought the $49 version can i sell the games i make?
3. Also does the $49 version have collision detection.( read some where that only the $89 version has a physics engine. Or is that 2 different things?)

4. And can i integrate my own physics engine into my game?(newton, ode, or my make my own?

If you can answer tese question that would be great.
Thanks

1. You must convert them to .mdl or .md2
2. Yes, but you must show the 3D-Gamestudio-Logo for 1 second at game start.
3. That are two different things.
4. I don't know if that works with the standard-edition, ask a standard-user.

Physics is only in Commercial and Pro, but you can use the newton plugin for your physics.

thanks for the replies.for the first question i click on the icon to open the model editor. i get the choose gxl object screen. i pick one of the views and click ok. I get a strange eror that says cant load gxl object.
gxl2d.dll--something like that.
i can even see the model editor

what can i do^

Use the GXL object that has GXL2DX8A.DLL as the file name. Note the A at the end. Both should use the same thing.

You can sell your game with any edition except the trial. This includes the $49 standard edition.

Collision is available even in the trial version. Collision is very common. My 2D game, however, uses a far different system in which the collision system built into the engine doesn't apply to so I had to make my own system.

The built-in physics engine is only available for the Commercial edition (1 object at a time) or the Pro edition (any number of objects at once). You can, however, either use Newton or write your own physics engine with C-script. My 2D game, of which the physics engine doesn't apply to (even though I have the Commercial edition), uses a custom physics engine I had to program myself.
