Project PLASMA FPS 2004: Thread 3

Ruz,

The demo does not move the character. When I attempt to do so the character moves backwards so I have to inverse the z value.

To better illustrate, when the camera and entity are moving in the same direction, with the bot positioned slightly ahead of the camera, you see the front of the bot, when you should see the rear.

As far as performance goes they perform well ~75fps until I turn distance checks which drop the frame below 20%. No optimizations have been made.

PS: I also toyed with the textures and came up with some pretty spooky ones hehe. Ruz, great work!
