How can there be a beta for 1.18 2 when I have not even seen a Beta for 1.18 1?

Was it a closed beta?

Where do I get it and was the issue of enemies damaging the player from all the way across a full sized level been addressed?

Increase the ambience to see if the textures appear. If they do, it's the engine forcing them darker because they're dynamic."


As Marc said. Maybe your ambiance is very dark and there isn't enough light to make the textures show up.

I reject your reality and substitute my own!

I want the custom animations commands from PB (i.e. the ones that let you play custom weapon animations) as they are great for adding melee actions to the hands, or other actions etc.

I see that the issue of enemies damaging the player without shooting at the player over long distances has not been addressed yet.

I don't think any mod should be fully integrated into FPSC.

Just the specific parts that would directly benefit and compliment the features of V118+.

I would like the occasional issue of the player sustaining damage upon game start, to be addressed if possible. It's hard to emulate, but it happens from time to time.

I remember reading here about a thing called "Null Space" ? that was implemented to combat AI falling off platforms (think it was rolfy, as his an intelligent man and seems to be in the know). It was said that this was the reason for non-1x1 grid square segments causing problems with AI etc.

If so could we please dump null space, so we can save on polygons for large area's and use larger segments than 1x1 etc?? As surely we can just build better levels and use railings/handrails, or even low invisible collision boxes to keep the AI from falling off.

Soo. Is there a download link for the current v1.18 beta up. Or do I have to scowl through google code -.-

But, Great work guys, 1.17 os a huge improvement. like many people have said, an options menu would be REALLY AWESOME. And support for widescreen resolutions (16.10 AND 16.9)so our games can be in HD.

Keep up the great work, happy to be back on the forums

Help bugs!

Apparently, I am having probs with the new blosser shaders. Some textures showing up black on character entities (posted in the main forum).

Anyone else come across this problem?

EDIT:

Just tested this on my other comp with a Radeon X1600 graphics card, SAME exact problem exists.

Bug maybe?

Ya, my cards aren't all that either.

Did a quick test on some of the item entities and didn't find anything yet.

HOPE this is something that can be fixed instead of 'newblossershaders=0' for "poopy" cards...

im getting the same issue. It tends to be random tho, i placed EAI guns as staic entities and they appear black...next time i change da light color and position. part of the gun is textured and da rest is black. most of the charecters are black, im going to guess this is an issue with older media.

I have had it happen as well it easy to reproduce...

Just make a simple level for example with low ambient light(0-10) and half a dozen static lights.. then drop like 10 or so large sci-fi meds around the level in various locations ... You'll notice some of the meds well texture properly... others well come out black...

Doors do it as well if there are a few if them in a level.. It is issue with the lighting changes and dynamic entities not shading properly it seems.

I'm aware that dynamic entities appear overly dark in the new update due to the lighting changes, but is the problem that they are overly dark, are that they're textures are not showing up at all?


Maybe we can bug Lee to change the lighting system back to pre-1.17. I suppose it's better to have dynamic entities overly bright rather than full black, especially since most people use very low ambient light.

Yes I think I have the same problem.

Also, the Ps2.0 shaders are not showing up on my Eai guns, or any guns for that matter :/

EDIT: Updating to 1.18. Maybe that will fix the problem.

UPDATE 30/08/2010

Happy birthday to me

On another note, knxrb has some cool information for you all:

knxrb is working on a new menu system for FPSC that will allow for more control and more features for your menus. Some of the added features will be animated cursors, mouse-over huds, animation effects on huds, sliders, checkboxes and choice sliders.

It also features a hud image generator which allows you to use drag and drop to design huds and buttons with the program then exporting it as an FPSC compatible image for you to use.

It will be integrated into the main editor nearer completion and
more information will be provided in the near future.

P.S: Please don't bombard knxrb with emails about it

Armed AI robot near game finish (bottom of legs):


Oddly, the error is fixed once killed:


Base of teleporter:


Side arm of light fixture:


Door frame at start (light reflection is dark, moves with player)


Zombie (transparent areas, only after killed):


Entity in weapons rooms (past locked door):


GUN SHADER ERROR:
This only occurs momentarily past the locked card key door (reflection distorts on this gun only-did not notice on others)


Large glass (did not remember looking this way on my other comp):


Also, this is what I posted in the main forum on other stock characters (same setup as above except starting new with a few ground tiles placed):

http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=174927&b=21(would have posted in 'Bug Forum' but honestly thought it was my comp, not the software)

Will get more pics from other levels if necessary...

Clicking noises are definitley possible using the hudselected=X command, which detects when the user has clicked on a HUD. As for mouseover sounds, I'm sure knxrb could work something out for you

Now that I think about, hudselected could also be used for inventory systems etc.

That would be cool to have an inventory system... it would benefit mostly for rpg games but it would probably work for fps games too.

Oh yes, that's all definitely possible
The 'hudselected=X' command returns whether the cursor is over the specific hud or not so you can use that to detect when the mouse is over a hud.
Then to detect a click you use the 'hudselected' command with a mouse click command allowing you to have mouseover and click detection

A bug?

I tried the setifused=x action and was not able to make it work.

I used a Triggerzone for the test and these lines:

:state=0,plrwithinzone=1:state=1,setifused=entityname
:state=1:activateifused=1,state=2

to open a remotedoor with the name "entityname".

This works:

:state=0,plrwithinzone=1:state=1,settargetname=entityname
:state=1:activatetarget=1,state=2

But it cannot be used to spawn characters (have'nt tested entities).

Does this work only in paused game mode or in game too?
Would be cool to be able to click entities in game.

You come close to a entity and look at it -> pickobject=1 gets true
then you could hide the plr weopon -> hideplrweapon
then you could show a transparent mini hud that looks like a mouse pointer -> :hudshow=x.

When clicking the left mouse button would make hudselected become true it would look like clicking the entity.

That was my idea.

A condition like "mouseused=x" would certainly be more easy
