mgarand : Is this a problem with V109 only? I take it you ran V108 okay? V109 uses DirectX 10.1 so it is vital you go to the MS site and download the VERY LATEST DirectX, not one you might have on a CD or on your drive as it might be an older installer. Failing that try a complete uninstall of FPSC X10, then reinstall after a reset.

All : Here is the list of 'ideal' todo's for V109, have I missed anything:

1. Model Packs & Store
2. Aspect Ratio
3. Score Bug
4. Scaling to revert to X9 method (will change existing X10 games)
5. Lock player above water when surface

I am going to be away for one week starting Saturday so there will be a delay in getting to new items, but hopefully the present fixes will give you something to chew on and ensure the current update has not broken anything from V108.

And lo, after much toil, he placed his keyboard on the ground and lo, he saw that it was good. Then his PC crashed, and lo, he saw that is wasn't good enough!

That's the aspect ratio...something which Lee said he was working on (it's #2 on the list).
As far as your gun not showing up when you pick it up...the only thing I can think of is that you may not have copied all of the files (a gun pickup also references its gunspec files).
I have tested model pack 1 up to model pack 5 in a built x10 game and they all work fine for me.You just have to copy all of the files into the proper place in your x10 folder.

Hi Guys,

BETA3 uploaded. This will be the last one for a week while I bog off to the slopes of Sweden. I hope you find the particles to your liking, and sorry for that one too, it was a very silly bug! If you think there are more important things to push something off the top five list, let me know. I am also going to look at the collision question too as I agree it would be very cool to walk all over anything you drop in the level, no questions. Any hoo, thanks for the feedback and support, and I will see you in a week

I personally haven't run into trouble with custom skyboxes (skies works fine as long as you change the directory to FPS Creator X10)...Something I think should be addressed should be the transparency issues though. Other than that, good list Downloading beta now (I haven't checked the new beta so if this has already been fixed, then forgive my ignorance )

Edit: Yay, we can have more particles, thanks! If you don't mind me asking, how can me make custom soft particles? (I mean like is there a specific program we can download somewhere or something like that?)

@ Nickydude

Just fire up Skies, place the images how you want them and that's it. You just need to change the FPSC directory to X10 instead of X9 so it says something like this:
C:\Program Files\The Game Creators\FPS Creator X10

I made a test skybox and got it to work (I haven't done any since though). On the X10 skybox slider, it should appear as #1. I'm not sure if it will handle multiple custom skyboxes though or if the limit is 17 or whatever.

Oh, really nice! Yea, I think Skies automatically converts the textrures to 512x512. If that's the case, just find the folder in the X10 directory and replace the textures with higher rez ones (with the same name). Do you know how that skybox was made btw?

When using Model Pack 8 room segments (Basic -> 01 -> Wall-01) and having water that you walk through, you get the 'walking on tin' sound instead of 'splashing through water'.

Thanks Lee, not to be nagging or anything, but could you possibly fix the wierd splashing glitch that happens if you swim on the surface of the water, I think someone else also asked about this though. Also, my gun seems to really jerk around, I don't know if it is just a rough attempt at weapon inertia, but it is rather annoying visually so a way to disable it would be welcome.

Also, everything in the game seems subject to a lot of horizontal stretching, a way to fix this would be much apprectiated.

V14005 is the X9 version, it hasn't been added for X10 (v109) yet.

Download the latest DirectX runtime from Microsoft instead. Any card that runs 10 can run 10.1, at least it goes for all nVidia X10-cards.

My framerate seemed to lower a bit too, but he said that that may happen. It is still a minimum of 40 in most cases.

I really wish we could have a disable mouse smoothing option. It makes the game feel a lot more laggy than it actually is, which kinda un-does the whole improved-performance thing.

When the Game Creator Store is converted for X10, will it have all the models of X9, or will developers have to build up again?

The models that are in there at this time odnt all work correctly in X10 so the store will only show those that are X10 compatible and listed by the artist as X10 compatible or i should think thats what will happen. I know i have a few models that are X10 compatible and they have been popular. But items like Errant's Weapons wont work i have tried so im guessing they wont be in the X10 area of the store when its done.

As for the Disable Mouse Smoothing thing that would be a great edition woudl add to the long wanted feature of a OPTIONS MENU which every user X9 and X10 wants to see added Lee if you read this an options menu is a huge wnat from us all.

If an options menu was added the following things on it owuld be good to start with maybe more later on:

- Choose texture qaulity: High,Medium,Low
- Choose Water Quality: High,Medium,Low
- Enable/Disable Bloom
- Enable/Disable Water
- Enable/Disable Ragdoll Physics

Do you mean for the player? Then I guess disable water would be a problem since sometimes the creator uses the water to get further into the level.

But otherwize that would be a great addition.

Has anybody heard if Lee is back from the Swedish slopes? Last I knew he was to be back on the 26th. I suppose he is knee deep (maybe up to his neck) in coding right now. I hope he had a great time as he deserves it.

Hi Guys,

I am back from the slopes now and fighting through emails and backlog (a week is a long time in development). Thanks for the feedback so far and if more users feel the disable mouse look feature is critical for V109 then that should be simple enough to add. I will hit the six or seven issues we have agreed on over the next two weeks and then take stock of V109 and decide how much more to take it. I feel it always makes sense to keep our eye on the migration version start date and try to bring it closer to us as I feel the benefits of this version cannot be understated. The odd suggestion of things like headshots and new features will have to wait for the migration work as there is no sense repeating development work.

I should be able to start a little work on V109 on Thursday when I will be looking primarily at the model pack compatibility again, ensuring that all packs up to 8 are good before going further. I noticed a few reports from previous packs and it makes sense to deal with those before tackling anything else. My gut feel is the work on the early packs will result in the later packs falling into line much quicker and so I do not anticipate any problems speeding through the second half of the current pack library.

I hope you are finding the current beta an improvement and of course if you fnid any show stoppers that have been introduced with V109 let me know by email asap at lee@thegamecreators.com.

And lo, after much toil, he placed his keyboard on the ground and lo, he saw that it was good. Then his PC crashed, and lo, he saw that is wasn't good enough!

Lee, on behalf of mgarand, I'm pointing you towards this:
http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=144181&b=33
Where the gun is at 90 degrees to the person holding it.

Just thought I'd point it out in case you were doing any little bugfixes.

EDIT: Oops! Looks like he's already posted. That'll teach me to read...
