Hi Eugene, even if Hockeykid did this, you wouldn't be able to combine it with another mod, such as RPGmod. Mods are stand-alone and so would need to 0MB lightmapping incorporated directly into them, or into the stock FPSC source code on which they are based.

Do we have a release date yet ? I read the hole thing and was just wanting to know what will be the catch on this, I already paid for FPSC and have no spare cash, I have this really looming feeling I going to lose out on all these great fixs, addons and the mulitplayer options, but at the same time it also sounds like you rebuild most of the system from the ground up so I sure it will be worth money but sadly not all of us have money.

I still like to know when it weill be release tho and the price we are looking at and other things as this as options that I kind of need.

Also will this be able to run stand alone from FSPC or will it be over ride job?

I am a programmer but want to try making a game also own x9

The mod will replace the "FPSC-Game.exe" in your FPS Creator root folder and will probably add some other files.

Also I don't think, that the release will be anywhere soon. (Maybe in half a year or more)

Best wishes,
Jan

Are then sadly this is not a project I can follow just not well not as a something I want to use now, I guess this will be a hobby follow, as it sounds like a good update of functions


But maybe they will have a beta or alpha testing

As it has already been stated, it would not be compatible with RPG mod, or any other mod.

Not yet

Haha I can assure you TheK the mod will not take another 6 months to be released, just make sure to check this thread for HockeyKid updates.


On a side note, HockeyKid has gone out of his way, to improve the FPSC engine, when he didn't have to. He heard the crys from the people who wanted to Create MP games, and instead of patching it up, he completely re-wrote it. When the main developers of FPSC would not address the memory issue, HockeyKid took it upon himself to fix it. Not to mention the countless bugs he has fixed, in not just the mod, but the work he has done to the engine with TGC.

You are in turn supporting him for what he has done. Many many many many hours of work, days, and months have been put into this to make sure you are getting a quality mod, that basically does it all for you, without you having to worry about getting technical.

So just save a couple of bucks. Its not going to be $100 or anything ridiculous.

It's not just another mod guys, It's the Apex of FPSC.

I haven't really followed the development of Project Apex until now, so I was just trying to guess it.

Sure, I hope that Project Apex will be released as soon as possible. I really can't wait to try out the 0MB lightmapping feature!

Best wishes,
TheK

Is project Apex compatible with FPSC IP 4.0? It would be great to use the fix to "waiting to join" and the lobbies and chat of FPSC IP.

Thanks!

Can I ask Soviet176 and anyone else stop telling people to use this system before its even out, its not completed and its missleading no to say its just spamming people now, I was pointed here saying this will fix my problem and so was freedmelmao, but when getting hear reading the full topic there is nothing yet to help a user, maybe in the future but now yet.

I like the work I see but its not fair to tell a use go view the posts it does not say its coming soon it say or have you tired our system, well I thought it was by hockeykid not Soviet176.

Can't wait for this mod release! xD
Been having to find cheap workarounds for my large outdoor levels when the lightmapping process crashes the engine. So far setting the in-engine preferences for lighting shadows to 'Best for Performance' or disabling multi-threading in settings.ini are the only things that really work without removing/changing any actual game items.

I think I speak on behalf of a whole lot of people when I say I would pay a fair sum of money for 0MB lightmapping alone.

You've made a great contribution to the community hockeykid keep it up!

Wait.... so you fixed the "waiting to join" error, AND added flak and explosive weapons (like RPGs, Glaives, and grenades) to multiplayer?

3 words:
You are amazing

P.S. The video shows TF341 guys! So will Project Apex work with them?

Soviet176 has kindly made a video showing how to forward your ports. Anyone that plans on hosting a game or a server will have to do this (but this time the games will actually be join-able).

That's good to hear. I am looking forward to this mod. How about some code that would allow items to be attached to a character, like a cup of coffee to the hand bone or a decal for like fire or smoke coming from the hands. Like attachtolimb=1 decal1 or entity.

Just a thought, let me know if you need some testing on a low end computer. Have a good one.

Woah sounds great HockeyKid.
A bug that has really annoyed me in Multiplayer for a long time now is after a while players won't be able to switch weapons. They can pick them up but can't change them. They can only switch between first starter gun and no gun in hand (Pressing 0).

Are you going to make a Google Code of this mod?

Great work so far hockeykid. The features you have added are very much needed, and will allow us all to take FPSC just that bit higher.

You've got my money for sure mate

I'M THROWING CASH AT THE SCREEN BUT NOTHING'S REMOVED: watch your language here HAPPENING!!! MUST PURCHASE NOOOOWWWWW!!!!

You've fixed everything i need! must buy! Estimated Cost? estimated completion date?

even if you cancel the project (like there's a couple things that make it imperfect, like a bug or super-bug) I'd still buy it, maybe fix it myself, but this is just what i need!

That Big Idea guy that can't find the time...
