Great work everyone at TGC!
I will download this soon, but the closecombat script, does that make the enemy actually fight with its hands or just deal damage when close?
And how is it going with the X9 migration?

They hold their arms out to the side for all 3 scripts. So they just attack when close.

This is brilliant and i have to agree it is better than version 1.08 this is coming along wel and my computer can build a small level in seconds. although my computer specs are Core 2 Quad 2.4Ghz, 2GB RAM, Geforce 7900GS is used to struggle to build levels, (it took ages basically).

Anyway moving along from that, i have noticed that the light intensity feature isn't there, nor is the player jump height value.

The blood splatting works fantastically! i tried it out and it has made it much more realistic, it hits either the floor or the wall depending of course where you shoot them. A+ for that extra.

I will keep you posted if i find any problems. Thanks Lee, i have to admit i didn't expect this so soon. Keep up the great work.

lol very funny, and fair enough thanks for the reply guys, i suppose the big give away would have been the fact that it wasn't mentioned in the little bit of info about the update. lol. Still testing it out and have still found no problems so far.

@F l a t l a n d e r

Lee is looking into my cave segment problem. I'm sure it has some thing to do with clipping, as the segments work fine in V1.

You just do that in the build game menu, click cancel, then it will work in test games.

You could edit the Setup.ini, that controls 99% of FPSC's options.....

Also, changing Dynamic Lights to No, would probably mess up your lighting, 'cos all the flashing lights in your levels would break...

yeah you could.. . .but don't you think being able to change the options from the main menu makes it more professional and easy to play on low end machines with out having to edit the setup.ini rather than playing the game and having fun?

i do agree i think allowing an options menu in the main menu in a completed built game would be great. The ragdolls feature would be grand as well.

I'm not sure what that exactly does, nor what values it would take. If they were percentage values or unit values? I was going to try it on a character entity but that doesn't make sense. Then I was thinking about those "wall" entities I have made to match the texture of segment walls but using them as a walk thru. I've always noticed I could never get them to match up with the segments using the "page up" and "page down" keys. Was always off a little bit. I wonder if this is where one would use this parameter in the fpe file for the model?

The first thing that came to mind was characters and other entities that load up in the floor. I thought if it would fix that problem it would save some time moving the first bone and all.

Yeah, he didn't give us any parameters for the command. I'd assume it would be a "units" between 1 and 100, but that's just a guess.

The first thing that came to mind, especially since you confirmed it regarding the "bone" placement, was Psionic3d's dog. Since I deleted it because of the problem it had (being buried to it's shoulders) I had to find it again; which I did.

After adding in RAISEFACTOR and first setting it to 100 I did find that it works. The dog was way up in the air at that setting. A setting of 25 gets him close enough to the ground without tweaking it.

Following is FPE code up to where I added the parameter:




If it works on the dog then it is working very well.

BTW, I used your (xplosys) dog script and bark.

I think the simplest and smartest solution would be to create a separate setup/launcher program, that would interact with the setup.ini file. That would make the tweaking similar as in older Lithtech engine based games, and it would probably be pretty simple to program.
(Added the Blood 2 launcher for an example)

When updates are applied, especially those which add new or enhanced performance, and I rebuild older maps within the updated version, will they benefit from whatever enhancements have been made?

I am seeing similar problems as reported by some others with portals not rendering the resulting leaks reduce the fps to sub 10fps. Pic attached.

I have had no issues with 109 as of yet. It runs great so far. I will continue to test.

Patience and tolerance are the keys to the passage of knowledge. Even the ones that know the most started with many questions.

So you can have collision with only a certain part of the model. Which means somebody could make grass blades(lots of them) and have them on the segment.

I'm pretty sure that this has been reported already, but places in my maps randomly just disappear because of the portals, even though the thing I'm looking at is still in sight.

This is the first problem I've had with one of your updates, so it can't be my computer (as far as I know).

And you're no good at grammar I think after V1.09 it's V2, as Lee mentioned an ETA for V2 somewhere around July...

Vista isn't supported by FPSC X9, sorry.

As I understand it (and I'm far from being an expert) the number before the decimal goes up for MAJOR updates. and after the decimal for minor updates/bug fixes... As this will be a major update that it why it will jump from 1.09 to 2.0
