Excellent post, thank you for pointing this out, esp with the video. Let me go back and fiddle with those features in IB (I don’t have my Mac handy) and I’ll update the post.

I’d be interested in your take on the Part 2. Hello World isn’t a very compelling example on any platform. Specifically many people are suggeesting that one can do animations via IB and I’m unable to find any examples or demonstration of this.

But you mention that things get painful if you don’t structure it in the way prescribed by the tutorials. This is a difficult phenomenon that many frameworks suffer from, and most developers (e.g. me) are going to follow the tutorials. If there are “better” ways that don’t scale, or work counter to the system, that’s going to be difficult to manage, right?

Thanks again, great post.

I stumbled in to this site through the Rangers on WE as they have this linked and i was glad and happy to see this. I got back to the very early days of AC in 2000 right after it started and remember how tedious it was with all the mouse clicks and movements you had to make and decal sure helped my wrists with this.

Thank you!

I was wondering, have you had a chance to look at the cell/portal structure for Lord of The Rings online, or
any chance of your cell.dat deciphering code being made available so others can learn from what you’ve done?

Trying to get a map working for LOTRO, but having some problems with the .dat files :\

Alternatively some pointers and i’ll see what I can figure out.
