Update on my new projects -- huge ship cobbled together!

[Inez Dias]

Though the framework is supposed to run on Win98, too (I think), I have some hope you have better luck on XP.
If the DirectX version is involved, I'm not sure - my intention was that the tool uses the DirectX dll in its own directory, but actually that *can* be overruled in the .Net framework configuration or somewhere. It's at least worth a try to upgrade to DirectX 9.

Would be interesting to know if anyone with a DirectX version lower than 9 did get the tool to run?

About the toyships I have no idea - there aren't any models for them in the Resource folder, so I doubt they can be changed - but people here have done so many things which seemed impossible that I won't say it can't be done.

The toy boat models are in the "worldmap" models folder, one for each nation, so they have different sails. I'm sure it could be tweaked to use a better model... but I've had trouble trying to "place" a regular ship model somewhere, because of all the extra bits (sails, masts, whatchamacallits) attached.
