Thanks for the replys

i have just wrote the math class for a physx Wrapper i can use with another engine so thats what i will start on and IF i have to i will do this game by myself... it may take me a long time but its something that i think will be enjoyable to the player and poss get something back at the end of it.... i have a large community waiting for a game like this so i will get it done.

but again thanks for the replys

Kev

the developer only codes in c++ and delphi... and is not around from one month to another... if you or anyone else wouldnt mind helping me out i dont mind sending code..thanks for the quick reply

maybe this might help.... this is the mod.h file....
