Added multi-byte compiler option

DaiShiva, you're genius! Thanks a lot for this thread!

I'd suggest updating this with few new questions that are answered often:

* How to display mouse pointer

* How to make transparent Render Targets

P.S. Thinking if it makes any sense to compile recipe book or FAQ and post it on my website, since forum allows only simple formatted text postings.

what about wiki? )

I second that.

I for sure could organize one.
I'm paying for a virtual linux server on Linode, plan paying it for a loooong term for future months, and its mostly free drive and free memory.

I had set up a MoinMoin wiki, and filled in 3 pages (FAQ, Howto Cookbook, and 3rd party) from this FAQ.

http://www.longcat.info:8080/

This is TEMPORARY link, it will change to something more meaningful like hge.longcat.info and without the :8080 part later, when I organize it more, and configure web server and domain properly. Can use this link now to explore and try to contribute if you feel like it.

This is great, thanks

The Wiki engine looks at preferred languages in your browser. I have installed English and Russian languages, so Russians see Russian welcome page, all content is English, though.

I installed Comodo Firewall on my Win7-64, and once I turn on the Defense+, starting the HGE tutorial app would block the whole system for quite a while. (The whole system will hung.)

Just in case of sb. run into such situation, wait for minutes and your system will be freed. And don't forget to turn off the Defense+.

Means your firewall interferes with such a simple thing which HGE is.
See through your options and Comodo logs why did it block the system.
Or remove Comodo, get Avast Free, its ok :)
