The NG Collision DLL Version 3 for DarkBASIC Professional is a comprehensive suite of commands that will allow you to perform the most complex collision possible directly within your games. No matter how fast your players (or bullets!) are moving, collision will be accurately calculated every time. How about performing sliding collision around a large complex 3D object? Easy. Or having the player collide with a moving platform such as a lift? Again - the NG DLL will do this all for you and The Game Creators are proud to bring you Version 3 of this popular plugin. Here is what V3 has in store for you:

• Full feedback commands (fetch detailed info about the geometry you collided with)
• Powerful collision response control, all automatically handled.
• Ellipsoid-2-Ellipsoid (deformed sphere) collision, great for characters
• Ellipsoid-2-Mesh collision - very accurate and fast
• Priority settings over the master definitions allows you to control the order in which things are tested to prevent timing problems. The defaults are set for what most games require but, if you need it, it's here!
• Ability to fully collision test one object at a time (great for speciality collision purposes or camera timing)
• Super fast collision in tight corners, no slow down! (concave checking to perfectly handle opposing faces)
• Blazingly accurate in all geometric situations!

There is also a internal octree system to improve overall system performance. Active queue settings per object to further control exactly what an object collides with! (An ignore/active switch to allow you to keep the list as short as possible, to save memory). This gives a very big advantage to the performance of your applications. Perfectly handles moving / dynamic geometry. Even large objects (with internal octrees) can be dynamically moved without any extra work on your part! Normal backface skipping for good performance. Precalced backface skipping system, for additional performance in the midst of the action. Optional bounding box creation so it can skip entire meshes in one step! Massive speed boost when you have a lot of detailed objects in one place.

And to make things easier, all of the defaults are set for the most common / fastest settings. So you can plug-it-in and go!

Other Features:

• Visibility of the ellipsoids! This is great for debugging your collision.
• An "object parenting" system to allow you to keep objects easily held to the other objects (ie: great for tires on a car)
• Volume testing commands. Need to know if a point is within the volume of a cube or other convex shape? This is a one line command to do the job!
• DarkBASIC Pro built-in version of the DLL so you don't have to keep it external of your EXE!
• Full raycast support against meshes and ellipsoids alike! Perfect for weapons or even toolsets (like lightmappers). A single raycast can even intersect multiple objects at once! All of this data is sent back to you.
• Slope control per object. You can fine tune the setting for how steep something is before it can be climbed. You wouldn't want your player to go up a wall would you? That's what this eliminates, let them go up slopes, but not walls! And you can control just how steep they can climb. Works great for walking-character and free-flight games alike. Walk on the ceiling if you want!
• Low level commands to run your own collision tests. So, if you want to design/create your own system, you have all of these commands already done for you! This will help take the grunt work out of your design.

You can use the fully customizable automated system or expand to the low level commands to design your own. A system built for ease that gives you room to grow. This entire DLL is completely yours and usable in all of your productions.
