 == Models ==
 A level depends on its models. All finished models are stored in __../data_extern/models__. If you want to view some models I recommend to open the testSwallow level file, replace the planet's mesh (in the last opening tag) with the mesh of your choice and load the level afterwards.
+At the moment we have several asteroids, spaceships, a satellite, two different space stations and some smaller models.

-== Billboard ==
+== Billboards ==
+Pickups are represented by billboards. Billboards are 2D images that are always facing the viewer. A 2D circle image seems to be a 3D sphere. Also the blinking lights on the assff wing are realized via billboards. Example of a static light sphere:
+{{{
+#!xml
+<MovableEntity position="0,0,0">
+    <attached>
+        <Billboard position="100,0,0" material="Examples/Flare" colour="0, 0, 1" scale=1/>
+    </attached>
+</MovableEntity>
+}}}
+
+Billboard in action:
+* Mark points of interest with a light. Maybe this will attact the player.
+
+Have a look at "theTimeMachine.oxw" to see some further billboards in action.
+
+== ForceFields ==
+ForceFields push the player in a certain direction if the ForceField was triggered.
+{{{
+#!xml
+<ForceField position="-500,0,500" direction="0,0,-1" diameter=500 velocity=2500 length=750 />
+}}}
+As you maybe already have noticed - you don't have the ForceField to be attached to a worldentity.
+
+ForceField in action:
+*Place the ForceField next to the spawnpoint to give the player extra boost when entering the level.
+
+Have a look at "asteroids.oxw" and "theTimeMachine.oxw", to see how to make forcefields visible in the level.
