The package at the link you provided looks like a later version. Not sure how to check the version on this one but the date for the file is a later date than the one I have. The user interface certainly has more features so it must be the later version. Thanks a bunch for providing the link. I will be trying this release to see if it fixes up the issues I was having.

Master server broadcasting/listing is really cool. This version does fix the issues I was having before. VML loader loads things up in a decent amount of time. I haven't experienced any program freezes yet. Some new issues came up though: 1. Loq Airou - Now, when I create a cube, I can create the first square. But, as soon as I create another square from the first one, it does not fill in the square with blue like it did the first one. Maybe their are some new instructions with this version that I am not aware of? In other words, I do not get a solid cube, only just a solid square and the rest are empty. 2. Loq Airou - Sometimes, at certain rotated camera angles, the middle-click option menu on a object causes the option labels to become mangled up inside the menu. Labels overlapping other labels. Seems like it's just a labeling/text issue. I would like to figure out how to compile verse and the tools with MinGW for Windows XP. I attempted before but I became completely lost. I would prefer testing off the latest CVS if possible. If I ever manage to figure it out I could post up a how-to for others. I will also be trying this with Blender at some point.
