just insert more than 2 active characters and you will see the drop. dont forget that physics-calculation is what brings fpsc down, not static builds.

but you are right, when known bugs are terminated, this will be a fine piece of software.

I found a bug in version 1.20.3!

Okay, so when I go in game after I change my character speed (to go faster) and head in game, what I get is that the speed isn't changed. (Or at least as much as I want it to. Seems to be stuck at 120 or something). Rather, I can hear my footsteps going REALLY fast, and I run at a basic, almost normal speed.

I will attach a video when I have time.

@Micheal X and Pirate Myke.

The flashlight is very basic, but I've attached a script which can be used with a dynamic entity. As it is the flashlight can be toggled using the F key.

*EDIT* - I could be wrong as I've not gone back all the way back over the changes log, but I don't think the flashlight is part of Beta 3. I've a feeling it was added later and will be in the next release.

Please suppy an FPM with any relevant scripts, a video will only show me what you're seeing, it very rarely allows me to track down a problem.

@SC: Gave that script a try in a trigger zone, and nothing happening there either. No worries, I am sure you have other things to deal with then the flashlight right now.

Let me attach it to an entity. Maybe I should get my glasses fixed so I can read the complete instructions.

I applied this to the stock torch in WW2. and used the below script. Still not functioning.


Did not know we had an etimerstop action.

hey SC I found a bug in beta 4 and beta 3 also have this bug. when you build test your level then decide to add a character it crashes during the process of laying the character on the map.

if you put the character down first then build test it work fine. but after you build test the level and try to put another character it does the same thing and crash.

even if you save the level you already build test and then re open it and try to drop a character on the map it will crash. this test with a fresh install of fpsc using only stock models. the model I use was WW2 models. Im using win7 32bit.

okay I found the problem this is with a level with no lights.

@The Nerevar

the work around is to place a light maker first before you place a character.

remember this only happen on level that have already been build test or build test and saved.

if you dont want to use lightmap just place a dynamic light maker.you can even change the light range to 0 and place the character.

@SC here is the fpm map. just try to place a character on it without adding a light maker.

my thought on the bug it not a big problem since there is a work around for it. but this does not happen in 118 i have test it out the same way.

on to the flashlight it works great but most may not like the fact it does not illuminate the hand. the stock hands illuminate without flashlight because of the shader. eai hands are black and without shader they illuminate when you look up. the stock model hands work great without the shader. the flashlight illuminate the hand and the gun. all in all im happy with the flashlight fpsc shaders just need improvements when it come to fpsc light source.

my suggestion. I plan to start over fresh with 120 when it comes out of beta. that mean reinstalling fpsc and all the packs and not use some old model i had since the beginning. i plan not to use shaders like for horror game type of flashlight use. once again cant thank Scene Commander enough for this great update of fpsc but all your hard work is appreciated.

It seems to me that when the player is holding the bazooka, the flak is still not maybe just right? Also the aiming is way off. Maybe it's supposed to be that way. Anyway here is a youtube of showing the inaccuracy of the aim and that at certain distances or positions there is not explosion marks. Of course, the player wouldn't (or shouldn't) point the bazooka down at the ground.



As far as the grenades. I know I can throw a grenade much further that 100 units. I have experience in that area. It seems that if the player throws the grenade slightly at an upward angle it would go farther. It does for me. I was trying to throw a grenade over a wall and it was actually quite difficult. I'm glad this didn't happen to me with a real grenade.

An NPC seems to work fine with the bazooka but he doesn't seem to be able to throw a grenade very far either.

If you wold like me to put up a youtube of this as well, I'll be glad to do that.

BTW, you can see the player in the very beginning (not bouncing) but starting from a higher plane and then settling down to the ground. You have to pay attention closely as the video starts.

@All.

I've fixed the editor crash issue. I want to take a quick look at a couple of the other reported issues and then I'll see if I can get Lee to make a quick update.

In addition, the jumping is a restoration of a previous fix to attempt to settle player physics, I'll see if I can calm it.

Well you see, it happens with all entities like terrain, buildings, or just anything big. I made a map (http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=200655&b=35) and it always happens. I updated to beta 4 hoping it will fix it but sadly it didn't.

The script for the flash light is in this post on this page.
Posted: 8th Oct 2012 00:23 Edited: 8th Oct 2012 04:52

Put the script in the main of a dynamic object.

Please note that it does not work with PS_2_0 shaders in that folder or the metro shaders or the the PS_3_0 shaders from Bond1.

I mentioned this to SC already.

So use just stock segments and entities if you want to see it work right now.

Fog is having the same issue also not working on those shaders.

Hi All,

For anyone having problems with adding characters to the editor I've uploaded a version as a hotfix here. Remember this isn't an official update, it's just to help out users who most likely want to test out beta 4. This should also solve the flak problems reported.

The r703 did fix it so that the flak does show up for the bazooka. Flak does not show up with close distances. Maybe you designed it that way. However, there is a strange thing that happens when it is too close. Maybe he blew his arm off?

I remember back in the day when the bazooka aiming was spot on and I guess that bothers me a little bit. Is there a way to make it more accurate within the gun spec of the bazooka. I'm not familiar with that file.

You may have to run full screen to actually see the flak. I only have two shots to show it because I didn't want it to be very long.



Addendum:

It does look like it is a little more accurate when using iron sites.

Not without a big update. FPSC has come a long way since those days.

The trailer was mind blowing at the time but all of the shaders on display here are readily available to all FPSC users now. Even better ones actually.

I have a problem in Beta 4. It might just be me, but for whatever reason, I can't get a test play to run anymore. Now it starts up, and I can hear it but I can't see the test game. If I press the windows key and try to access the game, it just crashes. Also, before this started happening, I would always jump when the level started. Unfortunately I'm not at my home computer so I can't supply an FPM at the moment. Anyone having the same problem?

Well after looking at all the FPSC can do now, I have to say that my hat is off to you Scene Commander. FPSC wouldn't but what it is now without your help. I think I, among many others have taken your work for granted. Keep rolling on and keep adding these great new features!

I don't know Dark James. Heres my settings

lightmapatten=16
lightmaptexsize=1024
lightmapquality=75

However, these larger figures require more VM. My latest project level is requiring a little over 2000 MB. Around 2100 to 2200.

I haven't a clue as to what the lightmappattern does.

In simple terms lightmapatten is light fall-off or decay if you like. The range is light distance and the attenuation is a range of full brightness within this.

In some set ups you can have near and far attenuation on individual lights, it looks like FPSC globally applies this to all static lights and uses only far attenuation from zero to whatever as a percentage. I haven't looked to see if attenuation can be scripted or not for individual dynamic lights.

Higher percentages will give a harsher light and shadow effect right out to the light range 'edge' with less decay.

Well just did a game build in the 120.4 update Run the game and during game play, if you hit <Esc Key> to bring up the menu in game, the mouse disappears and you cant make a choice. Hitting <Esc Key> again resumes the game.

I have a two monitor system and dont know if that is causing issues. any one else come across this issue?
