I'll try both, I have a feeling the particle type rain will be very resource heavy?
The post-process type is already ( a kind of ) "hud" type. (it uses a diffuse & normal map for the rain)

IT is very resource heavy.

@ ncmako
was wondering if you could share the guns "bang bang" word effect and some instructions on how to use it. Also, how did you do the chapter text at the beginning of the level? That is really sweet.

@ all
feel free to post pics and what-nots in the WIP thread for our game.

Happy Easter to all who celebrate it. Off to my brothers for dinner.

Yes, super easy and simple. I attached the files I'm using. Just take a smoke decal and add the words you want.
Saved under new name. Words must be carefully centered for each frame. Open my decal and take a look.
Now, every gun's "gunspec" file has a command called "smoke" if you want smoke of course
To change, open the gunspec for the weapon you need to change (ie..colt45) To keep your original "smoke" on file
just comment it out with a semicolon. Add this new command "smokedecal = path to file". This is how mine is setup.

Notice "smokedecal" just points to the new folder, that's all.
Do the same for something like the ww2 mp40, "smokedecal = ratattat "

Now for the hud fade out, I also included those files, just drop in. Attach the script to a triggerzone.
Place anywhere at start. I used .png files for smaller size and so "black" isn't a problem with transparency.
Plrdisabled for first 9 sec's. Sound (sound=$0) I used was a simple bass drum hit.

If anything is amiss, let me know

Hello people. I think this is the best thing you can do with the sincity configuration. Does anyone have any other suggestions for improving it?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kn-2cL_XkaE


ReShade config:

float3 SincityPass(float3 color)
{
float sinlumi = dot(color.rgb, float3(1.90f,0.85f,0.0f));
if(color.r > (color.g + 0.0f) && color.r > (color.b + 0.10f))
{
color.rgb = float3(sinlumi, 0, 0)*1.5;
}
else
{
color.rgb = sinlumi;
}
return color;
}

@ arrojar entidad
I tried your "sin city" settings. I found them a little too heavy in the red. But is that the look/feel your going for?


Or do you want something a little more low key ???

I've got my settings for only the deepest red to show, and no muzzleflash red.

that's what I want. The problem I notice, are the red spots where I should not go red. Or the red of the eye hud and the light of shots. Red should be cleaner and I do not know how to make it look good.

I dont think Sin City when looking at Your level, I think that something must be wrong with My graphics card. I think You have gone all too far with the red color...

@ Mr Love It's not that I'm having problems, it's just killing my fps. I'm trying to keep everything above 35fps, and
adding any water shader drops it below 30. Thanks, I'll manage something though.

Just wanted to be nice back. Those waves I make is from a CSP program called wobbler and it does not have any copyright limits to be afraid of. (Its a freeware program) See if You can find the program, google it!

Hey ncmako! I tried to make a good water decal, but everything looks bad because of the very high animation speed in FPSC. If You courld slow that down it wourld look mutch better.. Didnt look good in texture-wobbler so I made a decal in Caustics-generator. It looks pretty mutch like water, but isnt perfect. Its freeware, so You can download it Yourself and do a better version than mine that I made in 2 minutes.. Well here is a test decal for You to play with...

Quote: "anyone else have this problem?"

No, nothing like this. Specifically which gun. You installed BI V10.5, correct?
I tested the scifi barrels and they explode for me just fine.
Black squares on the guns, sound like the old muzzle flash problem, that was usually white squares?

Edit: just thought of something, did you try those "text" decals or change the "gunspec" that
I suggested before "for the smoke decal) Maybe that has something to do with it? Maybe it's
looking for the default smoke decal.

@ Mr Love Thank you, playing with the Caustics generator now, hopeful I can get something
going for water that doesn't hit performance.

They are probably white. i have the sin city shader on. I only changed the colt 45 to your kapow. It is only effecting the enemies muzzle flash. I had no problems before upgrading to BI 10.5

Turn iteration in the gunspec to 0. If that doesn't work check the entity properties in the editor window, it may be saved as 1 there.

Quote: " getting some glitches since i installed BI 10.5"

Boy, I don't know what could be causing your problems? Haven't had anything similar.
Double check all your settings/stuff, the obvious things that you might overlook?
The npc muzzleflash (white squares) has to be related somehow to the decals.
The ones I gave you, something is amiss....
Quote: "Give me bug reports and solutions"

Just downloaded it, will test shortly and get back to you

Edit: As soon as I started playing your level and received gunshot damaged, noticed
your "eye hud" (player shot damage" is set for a smaller screen res. I believe that's
what your problem might be. The player & NPC muzzleflash are ok for me
Level plays nice and fast. Double check your hud sizes

I thought so? I haven't done a build with the new V10.5 so it may be a glitch?
I'll do a quick small build and see. In the mean time, your level was great
Loved the warehouse, the red contrast gives it a nice feel. I got lost several times
looking for the key ( i never found it, did you leave out of purpose? ) The build also ran
nice, smooth and fast. Averaged 45fps, never fell below 30.

This file dds is in size 1920x1080. That's the problem you have at your level, the eye hud is a very small size. To me the same thing happens when I switch to BI version 10.5, I had to change the size of almost all hud`s.

@ Everyone Black Ice Mod Hud update from V7.0 on..

The old way may have worked for awhile, but may need to use new hud commands hudglobalx & hudglobaly ?

@arrojar entidad Your second hud on the right looks fantasic

@ seppgirty I opened your games "setuplevel.ini" and found this for the "eyehud"

What is "gdisplaywidth or gdisplayheight" ?
Mine are usually like this...

I have no idea. i never touched the script. just happened when i updatd to 10.5

Go to Languagebank\english\gamebank\ ***Name Of Your Saved Game Folder
(that is if you have saved it with a unique name when you built your game)
If not, then it's under the name "mygame" open that folder and you'll see "setuplevel.fpi
The second line of code with "hudreset" you'll see "hudimage=gamecore\huds\eyehud.tga

Open the characters .fpe file... Scroll down until your see

decal0 = Is The Muzzleflash for characters weapon
decal1 = Is the "blood/damage" effect for the character
I also attached my "red" decal folder (drop into your decal folder
and your set. As most characters use the "red" decal for the muzzleflash.
Let me know if you hit a snag

Level5 is going super great, will post screenshots tonight. Want to play your level first though

@seppgirty I am doing the prison levels. But I currently have my End Semester exams, so I will update on my progress on or after June 2nd. I have already said it in the WIP board.

After the project I was thinking maybe something like the Purge can be made in FPSC. A campy and violent shooter filled with puns and whatnot.
