Hey Seth,
Can I look at the .FPS file that was generated for one of the segments you created?

I want to compare it to one of TGC's segement files that came with FPSC.

You can put windows and doors in them just fine like any other segments. You can do anything with them that you can do with say the Chateau Cellar segment or the scifi armory or whatever.

Here is the list of my files on sale cut and pasted from the directory list that they're in. All zip files.

GraveMSetup.zip (39.076 MB)
MagicFPS.zip (13.196 MB)
MagicFPS1.zip (13.196 MB)

I don't know how you're getting an msi, maybe they unzip it before they send it? I don't know. It left me as a zip file.

Now I have an alternate Grave Matter update that might be an msi file. But msi is just like a setup.exe. I don't know why more people don't use them --they are microsofts native setup file extension.

The hills have collision like you'd expect they aught to. you even slide down them a little bit. I'm working on more rounded natural looking hills.

The coolest thing about MFPS is any new objects or segments I make will be fully editable texture wise and come free for MFPS users! So instead of a grass/rock hill, you could use orange bricks and have an egyptian pyramid or grey bricks and have the aztec version just as easily. Throw some stone stairs in there and... well see for yourself.

It's a work in progress. I won't put it out until it's perfect or as close as I can get it.

I'm also working on a set of scifi textures for your segments that will be in the next update. (plus lots more walls and things I took from around town and the shopping mall).

...and here's proof you can put doors in an MFPS segment.

@Conjured Entertainment,

Greetings. Here's an .fps file that generated when I used MFPS.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Seth Black

It's a copy of the detention block in this case. I use whicever is closest to the plain room segment I'm after so no need to re-copy new x files --might as well use the models already in FPSC. (I forgot which one I used).

In the next update (the one I'm using now) there are some original models and I get rid of superflous lines because it will add more flexability to how the segment looks. Plus you'll get to edit the material type so different bullet holes and walking sounds. Right now you can make a grass segment but it sounds like you're walking on --the scifi detention block floor! I'm workin' on it.

Thanks everyone who got Magic FPS so far! It's already catching up to Grave Matter and that's only in 3 days! There's no more question about lack of interest so I'm moving forward with the most ambitious updates I can figure out!

What I was wondering is if you can make your own door in your segment editor like in the TGC segment editor with a punch model. ie the punch model is green. When you place a door that came with FPSC in the editor you will see the green block to remove material from the segment. That green block is positioned in the segment editor supplied by TGC and in that editor you can flag which models won't be affected by the green block and which will. Can you do these things in your segment editor?

No. It's not that flexable. Even when I update it it won't be that flexable. At least not in the first update.

I will have basically the ability to make "your own doors" by using fpsc doors with your own textures. So you sould quickly have a nightclub or specialty store door with a fake window in it or an old west log cabin door or somehting.

The hard thing with a particle decal maker is actually the part , well i dont know how to make additional decays and put them into fpsc , they all seem to read from file (texture) "decay_d.dds" , but how can all of them have the same texture , is the thing i dont understand.. and i dont know how to OPEN the decay_d.dds so that i could find out..

The end of all fpe decay files :

Quote: ";decals
decalmax = 1
decal0 = fire

"


As you see , it says "fire" for fire , witch leads me to think that maby they have built in those few and are not possible to extend ?

I found the files , just go here :

"FPSCreator/Files/gamecoredecals"

And you will find all .dds files and the "fire" is just the name of the folder !

just wondering.. ,
Would it be usefull if i were to make a dds to jpg or bmp or png or tga and jpg or bmp or png to dds converter ?


And here is how "fire" looks (only its actually in 1024*1024 and i decreased it to 256 for preview

Oh and to answer your question about bumpmapping... I would have to have you download the normal map maker separately. I'm going to put a lightmap editor for lighting on your segments though.

Here is one of the terrain like entities I'm including in the next release. As with everything it's texture will be fully choosable so you can have more than one kind of the same thing. Plus you'll get to pick whiether you can climb them or not (If I have my collision types right).

Here's what the update will likely look like. The available objects are (tentatively) going to be:
Room Segments:
Flat Segments:
Signs:
Flat Hills:
Simple Doors:
Cylinders: you can texture them any way you want for trash cans barrels radioactive waste containers or whatever
boxes: customizable crates basically
and (this is really tentative)
the ability to import your own x objects, scale them in the preview so you know how big they're gonna be compared to 1 game square and Magic FPS can make the fpe and icon for you.

Oh-- and the ability to set where your FPS Creator is. Right now it's hard-coded to expect FPS Creator in the default location so I have to fix that.

Note: 1. Only some of these may be in the next release. Feedback will help me decide which. 2. The upgrade will of course be free to those who already baught it.

NOTE 3: None of this is gauranteed. This is what I'm shooting for and hopefully I'll achieve something close to this. I may be forced to scale it down a bit or build up slowly to this kind of thing.

Always free updates. Free I tells ya.

I'm managing the code in a kind of open ended way though so I can later make "object packs" that just plug right into this program and create a new page(s) of objects to choose from.

Hi Sinistar. Your app is cool and very easy to use. It's written in DBPro isn't it? So, can you use the SYNC OFF command, like this it will not use 100% CPU usage and will be quicker when some other apps are running?

Eye candy!

It's a combination of DB Pro and VB6.

I guess I could change the sync rate. or not sync unless there's a change. Ooh there we go.

Sinister, you should add a sound editor, like a walking sound chooser, that would be neat. Not necery, but would make a good upgrade

That's a great program, I can't believe how simple it works.
I agree about the sound change option for obvious reasons. Also: When it makes the icons, is it possible to make the background white so it blends seamlessly with the rest?

Like some of the segments have multiple inside and outside textures associated with them... You mean the same segment?

If that's what you're talking about it's possible but I don't know how. When I figure it out it will be in an update!
