Looks Great

This new update looks pretty decent. I think the walking animation is a bit stiff, but given how difficult it is to animate that motion it's understandable. Keep up the good work!

Thanks!

Thanks for the kind words. Will definitely work on the walking animation.

Looks great but struggling to install. Tried upon my sister's new laptop and she has windows 7 and a nvidia 330m

"An exception has occured!

OGRE EXCEPTION(7:InternalErrorException): Could not load dynamic library data/lib\RenderSystem_Direct3D9. System Error: The specified module could not be found.

"Abaddon.exe - System Error

The program can't start because d3dx9_38.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem".

Update DirectX

I think the problem is that you need to update DirectX. Go to this link http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=2DA43D38-DB71-4C1B-BC6A-9B6652CD92A3&displaylang=en and let me know if works after that.
