I've been using GS for a few weeks now, and I've had nothing but problems (A7 Extra). I'm in my second year of a hnd and were doing a game development project. I've purchased the Extra version, and so far all of my efforts have resulted in crashes and errors, as well a huge compile times for relatively small areas, (even using the default settings). I'm trying to create a FPS in medium sized world, with sky above, some of it covered. Is there not a template I can use just to get a basic setup that will run smoothly, I honestly don't know what to do and time is running out for this project. I would be grateful if someone could give me some basic steps to help me create a world that I can 'fill in' with my own models and buildings etc. I've built maps before for Command and conquer quake, and other games but this software seems to be incredibly buggy...any help appreciated, thanks, DaveM

Hiya. Do a quick "look through" of the tutorials for WED, MED, etc. That should give you a basic grasp of how WED works and how to incorporate static meshes into your 'world'. I think the Extra edition does let you use the "templates"; this is probably what you are looking for if you want a "click-together" type world where you just select a pre-made action for a particular entity (example: Player control, ammo and health pick ups, simple doors and triggers, etc.). Look into them to see what they can do. My first suggestion would be to take a VERY close look at your terrain. That can be one of the biggest slow-downs of compiling a level...all it takes is a few badly intersected polygons or some such and you're looking at hours and hours and hours to compile. If you can give us more info, I'm sure the bright folks here can pin point your slowdowns and errors.
