I think if emptys mod and rc2 were combined FPSC would be killer No I'm 99.999% certain that allies don't work in the finished version of V1.04, in early rc's yes they did work.

P.S. Lee, my request still stands could you please add in the settargetname command? I know you've got your hands full with X10 at the moment and I'm looking forward to that to.

He already added settargetname - but I don't know if he had the two 't's in a row.

Also, the global vars, it could be an array. That way, with some modifications to the FPI parsing code, you could have up to 9999 variables. Each array would be either an integer, string, or possibly a real value (with decimal point) if nessasary.

EARTH TO INSPIRE: He already added the settargetname command. You use it like this: settargetname=door (or whetever the entity name is), then you can do something like: rotatetotarget and movetotarget etc.

I'm telling you, it's already in there.

Also, yeah I'm having weird lightmapping issues too. Exactly like you pictured them.

When I turned the quality back up to 50, Whole segments weren't even mapped.

Earth to you it's Slayer_2 not Inspire jeez. also if the settargetname command is there it dosn't work for sensei. Only emptys mod has a fully functional settargetname command. Unless you mean its been fixed and added to rc2

Sorry for the spam but...

Lee, PLEASE come out of the FPS Creator X10 cave and bring us another fantastic update, we really need it... Please?

Apart from that, I really like very much this update as we can finally have a playable game. But appart from the lightmapping issues I'm having a strange one: Whenever I save my map for the first time, the program saves it and just freezes, I don't know why and I have to Alt + Ctrl + Del and shut FPSC.

@Slayer222: Sorry I must have looked at the post above yours to clear up any confusion.

Quote: "Unless you mean its been fixed and added to rc2"


What's there to fix, unless sensei is integrated into a later update TGC has no responsibility over that because sensei isn't a TGC product. The updates are not designed to accommodate certain user mods.

Well, maybe if Lee was feeling particularly nice sometime...

For those who are curious - settargetname DOES work in this update. HOWEVER, Sensie does not as it uses a condition called 'TargetActive', which, since it doesn't exist in normal FPSC, is ignored, and Sensie thinks the enemy is dead. By removing that, they can attack and kill the enemy, but will continue to shoot at them even when they are dead. I found if they are set to have their bodies fade away that they will move on to shooting the next character with the same name. Unfortunetly, at the moment there seems to be no way to figure out if the target is dead.

@Airslide: Precisely

@Inspire:Yes, as I said earlier, I'm having the same problem as you are, and has anybody tried using a switch under a light? When the switch changes texture it becomes all dark. As if it wasn't mapped.

LOL!

@slayer222: There already is a target activate command as well!

It's called activatetarget=1 (or 0,2,3,etc)

Someone should make up a database of all the commands and conditions so people like Slayer222 don't get confused.

@Slayer222: that's totally okay man

@Inspire: activatetarget would set the target entity's activation value to X. If you set a switch as the target with the settargetname command, you can use activate target to turn it on or off.

Slayer Simon - that's not the command needed by Sensie. The command needed is 'targetactive'. It's a condition that checks to see whether or not the target is alive (or maybe just in existance).

No it doesn't. I renders the whole level, and that's why it runs so slow on large levels.

Actually, it doesn't render the whole level. It divides it up into 'portals', sections of the level that are rendered depending on your position and camera orientation. Unfortunetly, it isn't all that efficent. However, it still does not have a draw distance, so large levels that aren't divided well for the portal system do run slowly.

Answer is the good old "when it's done". But meanwhile you could download the 1.05RC2, it seems to work just nicely...

Why when building a game with 7 or more levels this error does appear?

"The application has encountered a problem and needs to close. Extra Debug Info: 0 0"

If you want to check this: Make a new level and put a prefab room and only add him the player start mark. You save the level with any name and in 'Build Game' goes to 'Level Settings' and you insert that same level 7 times or more and you press on 'Build Game Executable'. Do you have the error?

Thank you

Okay, I finally got the courage to try to install the v105 rc2.
Looks and works great so far!

I will be trying out the SETTARGETNAME thingy now. (I'll keep you guys posted on the progress)
I'm glad I did this, because the new DirectX runtimes improved my system graphics overall.

                                                 

I like your history in the ReadMe file Lee.
There's no mistake about what has been added or changed.
I know exactly what Actions have been added to the FPI.

THANKS!

Lee,

When X10 is rolling and you do get back to FPSC, could we please have a usable variable or two. It would open up so many possibilities. empty successfully added a few with his mod, but that only works in V1. Please?

Best.

I'm sorry, my answers are limited. You must ask the right question.

It is more important to have it working than to add features at this point.
Lee released v1.05 RC1 and RC2 specifically to fix problems.
I am sure when TGC releases the next full upgrade they will add some more features.

1.05RC1 was a HUGE improvement for my levels. In 1.04 I was constantly crashing upon building ( although it would test fine)sometimes even having to reinstall after a crash to get a level that had previously built to build again after a crash. 1.05RC1 sped things up alot as well. THE ONLY FLAW I found was that characters were spawned TOO BRIGHT. With alevel ambient set at 25 the enemies were in game glowing as if the ambient was at 100. I don't remember tis being a problem in 1.04. Just downloaded 1.05RC2 and can't wait to install. Hopefully that will adress the ( my) problem

updated opinion:
after much mucking about with v1.05 and release candidte 1 and 2 ( maybe the same but RC2 has installer)I found I have some other problems. I still maintain that it looks great and runs great but I am having enemy issues.
The feature that keeps entities from falling off the world - some sort of edge collision detection I guess, kinda sucks. I put some rolfy spiders in my game that I want to trigger spawn on a ledge. They spawn fine and in v1.04 would come down and get me but in 1.05 they are stuck. I see their legs moving and they sure want to get me but they can't

enemies sometimes spawn offcenter. Meaning instead of spawning in the hallway they are spawning IN the wall

doorway collision different. enemys can't make it through doorways. the door opens and I hear their footsteps and even see them walk up to the door. they stop but their footsteps sound continues. They're stuck

now these are problems that were not problems when I would load the map with v1.04. Then again the game ran @18fps in v1.04 and 26fps in 1.05 but things are broken. No enemies follow their waypoints either ( yes I have the right script, yes I tried making new paths after the upgrade, yes my computer is on etc etc etc).
I even tried several different DIrect x versions but nothing changed. so I am sticking with the april2007 (newest)

Any advice out there? anyone else with these problems? ANyone know of a Directx version that would take care of these problems?

Another request for V1.05 can we please have an ammo limit option for guns? 0 could mean it doesnt have to reload (like Quake 2) Please? I think just about everybody could use this.
Slayer_2
Oh and please don't say "but you can control how much ammo you put in you games" There is no way to be sure in a big game. Take quake for example there is thousands of ammo packs throughout the game.
