Wow thanks people, im back now !

I have implemented strafing though that has opened yp some lovely new collision bugs for me to fight !
Also I am dealing with the request for mouse control, i have implemented it appart from looking up and down now and i have to add the cross hair...however I have made it that you can choose either freelook OR the targeting system, with way each method of play becomes more of a feature to the game, rather than an alternative style.
Work continues, i just wish i could show more for it, you can really capture mouse control in a screenshot!

About graphics cards, im using a radeon 9600 currently, and havnt boosted up for this exactly reason! i had a worry shortly after starting here that many of you may not have very powerful machines, its usch a change as at the programming forums i have a relativly low spec graphics card...that lot are on serious kit. I will attempt to increase performance... but im not sure how much ill be able to as im limited to what DBpro can achieve.
The spec they recommend is .

733 MHz Pentium III Processor or above
Windows 98 / 2000 / ME / XP (Home/Pro)
400 MB of hard disk space
128 MB of Ram
DirectX Version 9.0b+
Fully DirectX compatible Graphics Card with 64 MB Memory or more and Hardware 3D Acceleration
Direct X compatible Sound Card
16x Speed CD-Rom Drive

Im not making use of pixel shaders though so no need to worry aboyt that!

Id love to hear what kind of spec you people have so i can see how much extra oomph i have to get from this program !
