Then unless there is a major bug in the program I don't think you can have caught one over 46lb mate. The fish in the game were (at time of release) all based on real fish present in the real lake. The biggest is just under 40lb and their weight can vary by 1 pound each time you run the game.

If you caught one that big then you are playing a very old version of my game. The most recent version is based on Bury Hill - do you have that one?

Thanks for your kind words!

There are now some more pics of the demo of my next game (3DCARP2) on my website, hit the 3DCARP2 link on the main page.

The lake record is just under 40lb.

Asc said "could you please try to make for it a simple update/patch that releases the mouse pointer". Sorry mate but I can't. What happens is this - if I release the mouse pointer and you then click on another window or your desktop the game crashes! To be honest I'm not sure why and have tried many times to fix it. When it crashes you get an error message saying "Unable to reset the 3D device" - I have no idea what that means!!!!

I have removed windowed mode for this reason - the new game uses a lot more computer power and there simply won't be any power left to run other programmes, it will require all available power to ensure a decent frame rate. I may decide to include a windowed version for more powerful computers.

Just to let you all know – I am very close to finishing the demo of 3DCARP2 but have been delayed by various personal problems, the worst of which is a divorce ! I’ll keep you informed but I really am close now, it’s just a question of finding time after work to fix the bugs.

I will help in any way I can but I need some more details - what is the problem? Assuming you have downloaded the game have you unzipped it?

The quality of the fish models has increased a lot in my next game - in the current game they consist of 64 triangles - in the next game they are made from over 200 and also reflect light more realistically.

Yes - the next game does have see-through water and the carp models are much nicer looking. I have tried to improve the graphics in many ways as I hope you will see if you try the new demo when it's ready.

Before Christmas this year I will release a free trial of my next game. The original game is still available for free download on my website www.3dcarp.com

will do mate - hopefully before xmas and it will be around a tenner to buy.

sorry - only just noticed the question - download is 10 MB.

Just to let you all know… Soon I will have finished my 3DCARP game. It seems that another developer is also about to release a game with a VERY similar name – please note that my games are called 3DCARP and 3DCARP2 – this ‘other’ game is NOTHING to do with me – check the spelling carefully! Thanks - Julian
