sorry folks about taking my time. i had a major headache and fever today and had to lie down. i desperately tried to muster up the energy to get out of bed to call my mum long distance to call someone to help me. the doctor had to come make a house visit and the security guard had to give him the key to my flat coz i was too weak to get out of bed to open the door for him. last night i woke up sweating and i was desperately struggling to get into the kitchen to gulp down some sugar water, and i almost fainted several times coz i was so weak. thank god i managed to get some down without totally running out of energy and fainting otherwise i probably wouldn't have ever woken up again. i had totally lost my appetite the past few days and was eating once per day at most and taking hours to finish a simple meal. anyway my mum is now coming to london all the way from lebanon to make sure i don't get into a state where i can't help myself at all anymore.

i want to release 3ds2vxl 0.13 now but i just need to wait from one thing from Alon Tzarafi. he gave a tip for max users on how to save max as 3ds in a way that doesn't cause the misplaced mesh bug in my program. unfortunately i accidentally deleted both emails where he explained the procedure. sorry Alon. i did read the emails and fixed the specular thing in my code but i don't remember the mesh tip you gave. repeat it one more time and try to leave out all the swear words this time, coz i'm putting in the readme what you say word for word. i'll email you now in case you miss this post. i was gonna email earlier today but i was too weak to get up again.
