Thanks for the quick headsup, although it's not the answer I / we wanted to hear! :(

Hi, are there any plans for making it possible to submit games from Austria? I guess it's not a small issue, but Germany is already supported. Anyway, we got some games in development and soon would like to see them published! :) Thanks in advance! Christian

Thanks for your opinions guys! I guess since we got things running with XACT, we'll stick to it and try using the compress-settings.

Hi, I've tried to figure out what the most common approach is, but unfortunately haven't yet fully succeeded. Is it a good way for example to use XACT for sound effects, and use the normal content pipeline for things like background music (mainly because of file size issues, as one can then use MP3s)?

Hi, I saw in the instanced model sample, that stuff like this #ifdef WINDOWS     output.Color = 1; #else     output.Color = 0; #endif should actually work, but unfortunately, in our project it seems to not be the case. I've searched the forums a bit, and stumpled over a thread where it says ...

That's awesome! I'll look at it as soon as I get home :) Thanks!

I’ll sure try the Z thing out, cause it seems a bit less complicated (in sense of instructions ;) ) In the mean time I solved it by using the “similarity of triangles” rule (if you assume the frustum as two triangles: top and side view). I got the old state, meaning X,Y and Z ...

Hi! Lets say I got the following situation: a game like Smash Brothers, and I want to reimplement a camera behaviour like that. In case someone doesn’t know it, here’s a short description: I got up to four players in a 2D beat ’em up with 3D graphics. The camera should dynamically zoom out and in as the players move further apart / get closer ...

Thanks, I'll give it a try!
