Hi Bob.

    I am having trouble rendering your part of A Little Game.
    POV-Ray stops during parsing with an error message to the affect that
    "Interior" is an unknown command.
    I am using POV-Ray 3.01, and I could not find it in the POV-Ray help files.

Regards Alex

  Interior is a new function of Pov v3.1. You should consider upgrading
to the most recent version as it has many new and very useful features.
To get past this for now just comment out the interior statement.
Move what you can into the finish statement to render the scene with
your additions and then remove them afterwards to repost the scene
here.

I presume this will be acceptable with the rest of the participants as
well. Most everyone else is already usin g v3.1 so it shoudn't cause
anyone else problems. Remeber that if your object uses halo's
or atmoshphere it won't work for people using v3.1 as these features
have been discontinued.

Hey who indented my while loop ? Stephen was that you ? Just couldn't
stand it could you :)

Might have been me.
I happened to indent all the file, until I re-read it, and realised it said, DON'T
change
others work... Well, I make mistakes :-)

I confess.  I was running through the code fixing the mailer line breaks
and I couldn't help myself.  Please forgive me:)

Hello George

I've been following "a little game" as I think it is a great way to discover
PoVRay.
All was fine untill Your extra file I have aftermuch head scratching enabled
my win95 version to output *.tga files. But I still get an error message
saying 'Illegal character in input file, value is 2' !!!

Can any body enlighten me as to what I have missed or done wrong?

Am new to this program and am in awe .
I hope to contribute when I feel less humbled.

The first thing I would check is to make sure the lines haven't been
wrapped until they aren't commented out anymore (I know for a fact it
happened to my code). Also, you don't say exactly, but make sure that
you are removing the heightfield code from the source and making it into
a new source file.  If you can't get it to work, email me and I'll send
you my version with the files separated and working (no line wrap
problems)

Wow.  Here I've been so distracted by WORK that I haven't kept up with this.  Me
bad.

Um.. what Steve said.  Problem with these newsreaders is, they tend to wrap long
lines, which will FUBAR the code very efficiently.   Also, I broke the rules (what
rules? :)  by adding in a secondary file to generate the heightfield... but then
again, people are doing that all the time with POV.  Get used to it. :)

Oh, also, it doesn't matter if your system can't interpret a TGA file directly, it
doesn't have to.  If you tell POV that the HF source is TGA format, it will handle
it.

This is like the continuing stories (they will start one up once in a while in 
the interactive fiction newsgroups). You may start something that could be 
done as a monthly project. Obviously some additional rules (based on some 
things I've seen) would have to be setup, like limiting either features or 
versions of POV to use (i.e. 3.01 halos vs 3.1 media). Some limits on line 
length or something might have to be done (that or move this to 
povray.binaries.scenes).
