Interesting, Pride. I'll take your design into consideration with the others. Thank you.

(I seriously need to borrow a controller from somebody to test this with, lol)

No, it does not work with FPSC X10.

At this current point in time, FPSC X10 is closed-source and cannot be modded directly.

Which is slightly depressing, because then the Mod Developers could pretty much have done the Migration for Lee already!

Please excuse me if I'm wrong about that; I'm unfarmiliar with DBPro. Am I correct in saying that X10 was made using a different version of DBP, like DBProX10 or something?

Some people say that I'm crazy... And I agree.

How'd you guess?

Yeah, it was DBP X10, which has not been released to the public.

"DBP X10" to my knowledge is simply a collection of Lee's developed DLL's for DBP that have to do with dealing with DirectX10.

Obviously he wants to keep it to himself. I would, too. But I'm afraid he may have waited too long to release it as now DX11 or w/e will be coming out sometime soon.

lol @ CG

If we remove the "Plys' Mod V1.09" part of the acronym, we're left with "BFG". That's a common acronym when talking about ...... oops, I've said too much.

Yes, this is indeed the Ply's Mod version that will be in V1.15!

But, it's better than that! This is an actual new version, containing new features and all that jazz!

I am... a little stumped on my Extra Special feature, though. I was hoping to have it installed by the end of today... Only one person knows about THIS special feature, and even they don't know how far I plan to take it.

Now if only I could figure out why it appears semi-transparent depending upon the angle at which you look at it.

Possible the same reason that parts of levels disappear when you are looking at a certain angle?

Hmmm, it's linked to cameras, is it? Perhaps texturing cameras onto models?

I'll need to get V1.15 working on my PC then...

@hockeykid:

I wish... I know the fix for that problem.

I'm testing this feature in a seperate program outside of FPSC before I implement it. To make sure it works and all before I take the time to put it all in.

Well i'm not exactly sure how the engine works but if it only renders things when the player is so close why not increase the range?

It would reduce framerate if more had too be rendered...

It's a pity we don't have Occlusion Culling in FPSC...

Well as far as i can tell that glitch happens because what ever is used as the player model is not close enough to the camera, thats why it only happens at a certain angle because as you turn right or what ever the model/place holder moves away but the camera can still see.

It's a sphere...

If I knew what the problem was, I might be able to help...actually, no, I probably wouldn't...

Ah i thought it was a sphere, There you go ply thats the source of the problem now all i need to do is think of a solution, and mine would be if the camera is moving left move the sphere right and vice versa

Lol, no, but good try.

This is something never before seen or even thought of for FPSC. (Except Airslide said he thought of it first, but w/e, I did it first )

And in any case.... it will need to wait for the official V1.09 release.



But enough of that for now... do you guys know what time it is?


That's right, it's.....

!!! BETA TIME !!!


Alright, I've held onto it long enough (about... 8 hours)


I haven't found any problems with it myself, so hopefully if there is a problem, someone will find it.


Attached is Ply's Mod V1.09 BETA1

New features!!! (Hurray!!!! NEW FEATURES! EVERYONE SHOUT!!! YAAAAAAY!!!!..... okay, enough of that)

- New weapon shader system, supporting:
--- Normal mapping
--- Reflection mapping
--- Cube mapping
--- Illumination mapping
--- Specular mapping
--- (And Diffuse... but that's obvious )

And, ummmmm...... *reads his Version History notes* ... OH YEAH!!

- The new weapon shader system also now supports multiple textures on models! (Except Errant's.... cuz he maps them weird... but he knows how to fix them )
- Lighting system has been optimized. Dynamic lights don't seep through walls onto dynamic entities. Dynamic entities also update their lighting more frequently for smoother light transitions! (No more "glow-in-the-dark" entities)


*Features guaranteed to come before full V109, but are not currently in Beta*

- Ply's Mod configuration for XBox controller


Annnnnnnnnnnd..... *says in a very quick voice* I'm taking away the splashscreen and title screen watermark because I liked S4's idea for Project Blue better.



So here it is!

I've packaged a few freebies with it, including a new shader that utilizes all of the aforementioned texturemaps, as well as an updated scifi/blaster!! I made the appropriate texturemaps for it to work well with the new shader! (And I put a couple ply's Mod features into it so have fun )


Enjoy!! If you find a bug, please let me know.


The one and only,

Right now, I barely have time to devote to anything other than making money and school-work.

If you were to have funds, that would definitally be enough to pry me away from school work to do what I can.

Good news and bad news, guys.


Bad news first... cuz that's just the way it is.

I have a ton more school work than I thought I initially had, so this means less time working on the Mod. BUT, I'M STILL GOING TO BE CHECKING EMAIL! So if you find a bug in the beta, shoot me an email about it and how to replicate it.


Good news last... Cuz you know I love to torture you with suspense! Haha, j/k

That Extra Special Feature I was mentioning earlier... is now optimized and ready for implementation into the Mod!!!

I'd show you what it is... but that'd just plain ruin the surprise... and you know how I love surprising everyone!


In the meantime, please enjoy the beta! I was rather proud of myself for finishing the entire port in a single night as well as getting those new features working as well as they do. You can ask S4, I was so hyped up on caffeine come morning, I could barely stop typing long enough to go grab some coffee, lol!

Haven't tried your weapon shader quite yet CoZ, but I'm sure it works anyhoo...

Did you look into that Wood Colouring shader I told you about from the Ultimate Shader Pack? It has awesome specular effects based on local lighting, and works on segments and entities too! The only problem is that it overlays a pretty rubbish looking wood texture...

I can confirm it doesn't work. In fact, it didn't work even with just the 1.15 upgrade installed.

@Ply & All: I just put your shader system through its paces, and what can I say..stunning!. Just look at the below character and you'll see what I mean. The way the dynamic lights smoothly blend into one another is gorgeous!.

(Shot with my New V2 Character Bumpbone shader applied)


Combined with the smooth framerate of project Blue 1.6, I keep thinking Im playing a AAA commercial engine (thats no exaggeration!)
