Well, contrary to my last post, I didn't really give up. What I did was reinstall everything and try again. I got the same errors, so the problem was probably not on my end. What are the chances that I would make the same errors twice in a row, right?

Anyway, I posted new info to the Panda3D forums and waited. I thought maybe the holiday last weekend was causing delays, but after a week, I'm guessing that I'm not going to get an answer at all. I checked earlier this afternoon and there were 65 views of my post, but not a single reply. No "This is what you do to fix it," no "Have you checked so-and-so setting?" and not even a "hehe, you suck at this." Nothing, nada, niet.

I have decided to try another engine. I'm attempting the same project in the Ogre3D engine. This one is high-quality, incredibly so in fact. The downside is that it's a rendering engine only. If I want networking, I add it in myself. If I want control input, I add it in myself. If I want sound even, I have to add it all in myself.

It allows for a lot of flexibility, but at an added learning curve. Oh well, we'll see how it turns out.
