Quote: "I built a 3-level game and most of it works very well and is fully playable.
But i have also found some issues which i didn't see in the editor:
- In the first level, all the on-screen textes (created with TextEase) do not show up. They work fine in the latter levels.
- Characters use the wrong shader and appear with black parts (no problems in the editor as I edited the .fx).
- I edited the player's HUD but the built game use FPSC's stock one (maybe this is my fault while building the game).
Is this related to the V1.20 beta i'm using? "
It may be possible an issue with your version, although issues similar to what you have outlined have been produced in earlier versions. When you have a built game, you may need to check the "Files" section to ensure all media has in fact copied over. You may have some media missing, whether shaders or textures that will show in editor but not in build. Two common issues of files not copying over properly were skyboxes and media that had long file/folder names or special characters in names such as apostrophe (example- certain media from Dark Egypt pack).
Another thing to check is the two files "setup.ini" and "buildsetup.ini". Ensure they have similar settings- for example if you have "postprocessing=1" in setup.ini, but "postprocessing=0" in buildsetup.ini and you use water, you may not have water in the build. In a test/design mode, FPSC uses the "setup.ini" file, but when you call the build function it will use the "buildsetup.ini". If you need a reference to the settings, there should be a text file called "setupdescription.txt" in your FPSC folder.
The huds are a common issue- when in editor the game uses the "Files\languagebank\english\gamebank\mygame" files in this folder. During a build, people either point to a different folder and forget to modify their huds. Check to ensure you in fact did point to correct files/folders. You can change the huds via the Build Game>Level Settings tab. If your Game Project Filename is "mygame.fpg", then the huds and setup FPI files used will be in the \mygame folder.
There's no problem that can't be solved without applying a little scripting.
