http://blogs.msdn.com/shawnhar/archive/2006/08/25/724737.aspxSo what does this here XNA Content Pipeline thingummyjig actually DO , anyway? I'm going to start off with an example of how you could use it, working entirely with the default XNA importers and processors. Imagine I'm making a game called "Super DromedaryenCommunityServer 2.1 SP1 (Build: 61025.2)http://blogs.msdn.com/shawnhar/archive/2006/08/25/724737.aspx#724828Sat, 26 Aug 2006 04:45:57 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:724828noxaGreat post!

It would probably involve having a separate ContentManager for each section of your world, loading them in a background thread, and then disposing the ContentManager when you are done with that world sector.http://blogs.msdn.com/shawnhar/archive/2006/08/25/724737.aspx#7724494Sat, 16 Feb 2008 02:31:06 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:7724494Cornflower Blue<p>As I wrote the other day, I'd like to help out people that are having trouble understanding the content</p>
