I remember there also being water in Super Mario 64 which I played when I was 4, so it's certainly not next gen, but it's still a popular feature request and I'm sure a lot of people will benefit from it.

A simple, primative water plane like FPSC X10 would be good, but the ability to turn a box entity in to the same kind of water would be immense. Then you could have, say, a hole full of water on the top floor of a building without instantly flooding the bottom, like with modernday engines like Unreal or Source.


I'd love to see things from your point of view but I can't get my head that far up my bum.

Does 'pi' appear in blue (like a command word) in your Ide? If it's the case maybe you have a plugin installed for pi=3.14...

Just thought I'd mention something cool that knxrb added to the source code. When particles are disabled in the menu, they'll all revert back to their 2D decal format.

Hey GreenDixy, I see where you compiled the latest source for v1.18 beta 2, are you going to make the update available to everyone and if so, where can we download it at?

That's just what I needed, some
features for ingame video creation in FPS Creator."

Yeah, it would be nice, but not neccessary.
We can always use a screen recording program like Fraps for cutscenes. (Fraps has been improved greatly in recent years and works well)
As far as cutscenes go, most of your story telling can be done in game instead of with cutscenes thanks to the new talker characters.
I can imagine a seperate mod of the engine made especially for screen recording and movie making.
Then you could do cutscenes or even a full animated movie. (wouldn't be machinima technically since it would not be made with a game but the game engine)

I would like to see these latest new features like water and talkers refined somewhat before too many more things are added, but that is just my 2 cents on it.
Lee knows best, and he and Hockykid will make it happen.

And there's also this problem.

In the top left hand corner there is a strange message. This is in a single player game.

I used 2 posts so I could show both images of the problems.

Go to your setup.ini and go to the line that says "ShowentityAioutline" or something like that and switch it to 0 then save the file.

Something minor i guess. Possibly something to fix the lightmapper so that smoothed entities don't look... cant think of the word right now but you should know what the lightmapper does to smoothed objects.

Its not total game breaking/ engine breaking but would be nice to have smoothed models with smoothed shadows.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Per-pixel_lighting

We need much much smoother lighting. And why does lighting take up soooo, much space, it should never reach 2GB, but I keep reaching that limit.

So we can create stuff like this:




Instead of everything in FPSC looking like this:

I agree I cannot past that limit no matter how hard I tried I say let us build our games independently and remove that menacing cap, in the previous FPSC updates I can build a game that has more than 2gb and I don't face a single bug on that game.

I really think fpsc needs better shadow & light reaction

this image shows reacting with multiple lights (half-life2)


I want a character to go into a shadow/dark area and be dark, not glowing

I'm sorry if this is the wrong thread to ask this in, but although ragdoll was already implemented and is therefore on the 1.17 list and not the 1.18 beta list, I was wondering how much fine-tuning of ragdoll is expected to happen between 1.17 and 1.18. Specifically, I was wondering about the tendency for any dark voice characters to have their faces fall apart when killed with ragdoll. Does there seem to be a fix for this in the foreseeable future, or will it be a couple updates out? I ask this specifically because of the newer character packs that don't have non-dark voice alternatives.

Also related to ragdoll, do you think that we'll inevitably be able to have a ragdoll that is also affected by force? For example, right now, I can shoot someone point blank in the face, and they often still fall toward me, as if unaffected by my shot. I've seen this referred to as "ragdoll acceleration" in the threads. Anyway, just some thoughts.

Watch the forum for a new V118 beta thread, introducing updated weapons for BETA2. BETA3 will shortly follow with the new beta features you may have been reading about in the Google Code site.

I run FPSC without bloom. If I turn postprocessing and newblossershaders off from the setup.ini, will I lose the water? As bloom is a big FPS killer and not really needed.

how did you find out it was released as he would of posted it in the new thread he may have added it but he may also be waiting to fix alot of bugs before moving onto beta 3 as beta 2 just came out could be wrong thoe if he was planning on releasing beta 3 with water etc already thats awesome

stop downloading the "final" beta 3 which is on the server.
The water is not working correctly, no reflection at all (camera bug, I knew this one would come up) and also water physics are really.... bad or strange.

No need to waste 130MB of your downloadtime!

EDIT:
And also the water has such a low resolution, I can wave "HELLO!" to every single pixel.

All stock weapons now have hands! Also a number of backdrop files have been added for menus, loading screens etc.

Quote: "The water is not working correctly, no reflection at all "


Lee has fixed this in the latest Google code update:

- Fixed issue with post processing wiping out water based system, turns out the SET OBJECT MASK and the SET CAMERA VIEW commands had not been considered. All better now

V118 has a lot of updates and new features so I wouldn't expect it to be very stable for a while.

It works great!!

Just the fact that the shader is kind of messed up and the physics in the water are not so realistic.

Plus for some odd reason, I'm getting a big fps drop with v118.3 with all of the same features enabled. I'm getting 30 fps on a map which I used to get 45-50 fps.
