I'd prefer that that you can turn your head just the same in moving and staying still, and that there would be a keyboard button for turning the body to the direction the character's head is facing. Otherwise at least I will never be able to look around while moving.... >I'd like to have comments on this, just to know what do you think >of it. There's mine... And yes, I know, I haven't posted anything about spells in here for a while, but that's mostly because I was suddendly called away for a week and I've been quite unable to work on anything... I'll mail some kind of small spell-list here (with brief descriptions) in the near future so you can all bash it together... -- .sig in exile Get Free Email, Anime News, and The Best Prices at http://AnimeNation.com
