Hey, we need to come up with a code for fpsc that allows 256x256 instead of 40x40.

I will work on it with you to get it in game.

Create build.

Unfortunately, that would require an alteration of the FPSC Editor.

And, we don't have the source to that.

Dont know what you mean by that, but.
Darkfaction had its own launcher so that all missons were given a unquie code that allowed the user to pass on througout the game, this code was given out at the end of every level by having a big sign saying: Misson ? Code: ??????????.

This allowed the user to keep the codes, it was orignal a save funtion, because at the time FPSC had no Save/Load.
So dave created that little programe to save the game via codes, its realy good, I suggest you use Visual basic or somthing to code it, it can come handy for people around here, especialy them that are trying to make a time crisis clone or somthing.

I saw that darkfaction and it looks SOOO good, but i know fpsc couldn't generate that many polys without any lag, it was obviously edited in Darkbasic Pro.

If I hired a programmer do you think he could make the game able to support 20,000 poly models?

For FPSC to support that high of a poly count PER model, it would require some massive optimization to engine just to free up some processing power to handle it all.

It's not that you CAN'T use those kind of models, it's that those models wouldn't allow the engine to run very well.

With that said, you'd have to dish out quite a bit of money to make the programmer feel like it's worth his time and effort.

As a guideline... I got paid $300+ for an 8 hour source job. This kind of thing might take weeks or months to do.

Uhm, sorry.
I think I have you all confused, because I thought it was a level code, not resizing the grid
Sorry guys.

They probably use Torque, Unreal, or any other programming engine.
