Alright, so I was wondering about a few things. Can I make maps with 3d World Studio and import them into FPS:C? If I can do this how would I go about it?

Thanks in Advance.

No. I'm not sure why you would want to anyway as that is what FPSC is all about; creating maps using drag and drop. In fact, since I'm not a graphics artics, I found it easier to create a map using FPSC and then create the dbo (compiling the level) in order to use it in DBPro -- as opposed to creating the map using something like 3D World Studio.

Personally I love FPS:C but I feel as if it lacked a few things. Like open large spaces of land. I believe 3d World Studio could take care of that, but I guess your right in a way. I know for sure I would use the LeadWerks sandbox with FPS:C, if I could.

FPS Creator doesn't support the collision do this correctly anyway, you need to do some heavy tweaking to get it to work with Enemy collisions.

Have you tried exporting them from 3DWS as a .X model? You may not be able to interact with it (ie., walk around on it, etc.), but you could definately use it for some custom geometry or scenery. Especially since you'd be using less polys, versus making buildings out of segments that would increase the poly count needlessly (ie., a single wall that could be comprised of 12 tris, instead of segments amounting to 10 times that much).

I've also seen someone conducting some pretty good experiments using Sketchup.

Thanks KeithC for mentioning so let me hijack this thread for a second.
Here is my experiment that Keith mentioned with SketchUp as a level editor for FPSC
http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=131886&b=25

I aligned my geometry in SU in a way that i could swap my floor with a segment floor in fpsc to solve possible collision issues.
other than that, the complete level design was done in SU. That way i could reduce the polycount to the absolutely required minimum and have it running smoothly even on my old nvidia fx 5200...

I am Jacks complete lack of surprise.

Whoa now that is pretty cool. Maybe I could try this out, I took a quick look at your thread so I have no clue if you've released details on how to do it.

KeithC -

How would I export it to .x? I didn't see a convert button.

EDIT- Wow that map was amazing, that was great. I noticed you had some "terrain" so to say. Thats what I'm looking for so maybe I'll give that a try.

You should have an export option to .X

Thanks for popping in, Daarboven; I hope you continue with your experiment, as it could mean great things for FPSC users!

Do you mean that you can't walk on 3DWS models? Climb on 3DWS models?

Yeah, but the AI does not work very well though.

Yes, you can. Player collision is fine on any 3dws model, but enemy model is in need of perfecting. 3dws lighting is also supported using the .dbo export option.

Awesome, well I've made a few things in both programs. They are both pretty fun programs. I think I know how to fix the 3dws AI error. Just make a seperate floor for that mesh/entity.
