to anyone techy
i have seen alot of programs developed for the editor, more i think than any other editor but i could be wrong.

does anyone have the talent to get the editor to run more slowly on a fast pc, like 'slowmo' for running the old dos games.
I bought a new pc because my old pc get illegally operating when i tried to run the editor so i bought a new one, i needed a new pc anyway.

but i had to give up after developing some large almost complete levels thanx to a friend who let me develope on his machine.
my new machine does not illegally operate, it is just far too fast zoom in really does mean zoooooom!!!

so if anyone technical thinks this maybe could be achieved please reply.

if i am spouting the impossible then be gentle.

regards Matt

I believe you have two options.

1. Tap the cursor keys gently in order to rotate your level.
2. Lower the processor speed from your BIOS. however, I would not recomend this unless you are happy with changing BIOS settings.

'ZING' is not a word that I am familiar with, however I will make an exception to 'YOINK'.

Run Windows 98. That should slow it down enough.

I've got exactly the same problem as you dude. I lost my last level in my old pc when it blew up so I bought a new pentium 4 and now it's too darn fast!!

The only advice I can give you is to enable 'Draw doors', 'Lighting' & 'Face Edit' whenever possible to slow it down.

God I would love to have this problem!

Since my partner extracted the Viper video card from our PIII 550, I´m stuck with my old PII 300/Voodoo II that takes ages to move a room with textures and draw doors!

The only problem with this, is that it sometimes crashes the editor, so be warned, and save regularly.
