I was looking at the site today, looks like Lite-C is the new big addition... If I wanted to try and get back into this, is the free/payed version of Lite-C the way to go for a beginning hobbyist, or am I looking at something more like the extra version of the full A7 package? I'm not new to programming in general, just not terribly good at it, and would prefer the easiest package to work with. Thanks!

In map properties just give your map your Lite_c script. Click on the centre cube on a face with either the left or right mouse button to rotete it. Last edited by westray; 12/31/08 10:37.
