[ODE] First person shooter - falling over

[Dan]

Thanks. It nearly works. There is still a slight sliding down hills.
Any idea what can be done about this?

The strange thing is if I set the player as a box, it still slides,
but non player boxes (same weight, size) which aren't having their
rotation/angularvel/torque reset do not slide.
