Thanks, I'll try that one out for now then...

Ply or s4real can you give me some insight to my question from a page back? I installed PB onto a new installation of FPSC 1.15. I cannot set a higher res than 1024x768 in my setup.ini files.

Quote: "im having an issue with 1.7.. I built a simple level before with PB 1.6 and I changed the resolution in setup.ini to 1440x900 - it worked fine. Now when I build this same level or any newly created level in 1.7 and I add the resolution of 1440x900 to setup.ini the game will not start it just crashes.

levelname.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. we are sorry for the inconvenience.
data report says:

I have a question about the snow (from the old xrMod)

I've read the PB manual but I cant figure out how to activate the snow. Any pointers?

Btw. the snow can be seen in the last bit of this video (for those who didn't see it earlier when xrMod still existed).

To my knowledge, we only have "xrMod Rain" in the manual. But if there's a section in there on snow, we'll be sure to remove it.

Sorry I have been completely wrong. I thought rain and snow were basically the same thing but now that I think about it I realise that it requires different systems to work. Snow doesn't fall like rain afterall :-|

Please forget what I said about snow earlier - you are right that only rain is mentioned in the manual

I've noticed that when you place the start marker, if you then press the '+' to move up a layer or two, when you test the game, instead of starting on the layer where the start marker is, you start above the start marker on the layer you where on just before testing the game.

This means you could start many levels above the start marker and drop to the correct level.

Haven't had that happen before, Nickydude. And I know I did that setup, because I've done much testing after tweaking things that were layers above the player's start marker.

I'll put it on the list of things to look into. Thank you for the report.

You can bind the ammo to a variable and have a script force it to be within a certain limit.

Quote: "haveweap=Model Pack 10\M67FRAG"

Do Not use spaces in your folder names. Rename your Model Pack 10 folder to "ModelPack10" and change the name in the script. The spaces mess up the script parser.

The EAI one still doesnt work and that has no spaces. Im gonna meditate on it and see if i come up with any solutions.

Just got PBUM and I luv it. Full screen shaders are nice and with a few custom ones made with Dark Shader its really nice. Cant seem to get more then one to work at the same time tho but maybe its just me since I just got it last night.

Would be real nice if the shaders didnt slow everything down so much tho

Thanks guys... great job

@Arenas:

Add the "bindammotovar=X" option to the weapon's gunspec. Put a variable name in place of X. This is one of the special cases where you don't have to declare the variable first, since this will do it for you... and TADA!!! Your weapon's stock of ammo is now bound to that variable. Just change the variable when you want to change the amount of ammo that it's holding.

And just make sure you don't have ANY spaces when you're providing a weapon name. Spaces are what seperate parameters in FPI, so as soon as it hits a space, it thinks you're trying to give a new parameter.

@DonWON:

Unfortunately, I've yet to get layered FullScreen shaders implemented. At the moment, you may only have one shader active at a time.

If you're using the MB+B.fx shader, that may be a large cause of the slowdown when using the FS3... it does quite a bit more processing than your usual shader.

Glad to hear you're enjoying the mod, though!

I am using one I manipulated with Dark Shader to make the edges pop out a bit more and its getting decent fps. Cant get the cartoon shader to work yet but not done playin with it so who knows.

Well worth the 28 dollhairs

Now I guess I have to start a game... no more lazy guy

How can I make the changebloominzone work so that when in zone its on but when leaving it turns off instead of staying on then turning off when the player goes back thru it?

Using variables as ammo is actually quite a good idea. Will it mean that when you pick up the weapon you wont get the ammo stated in that weapons ammo capacity declared in the editor, or would you need to script it so that you got all the ammo needed?

You can either change the active shader to one that doesn't have bloom (or to 0, which would turn the FS3 completely off) or you can adjust the bloom settings to be so low that it's not noticeable anymore. Any of those ways will work. You can probably figure out how to adjust the bloom from the script.

Quote: "Will it mean that when you pick up the weapon you wont get the ammo stated in that weapons ammo capacity declared in the editor, or would you need to script it so that you got all the ammo needed?"

The ammo acts normally. The only thing different is that you can directly change the player's ammo through it if you wanted to. Also, this is a great method to pool ammo between weapons, so that multiple weapons use the same ammo.

Nickydude: I have seen this happen with vanilla FPSC several times. The only time it happens is when I use custom media and it only happens with certain models. These models may be buggy but I have never been able to locate the bug if so.

I don't know if this helps you but the bug might be related to something else than specifically PB.

@Nickydude,
I had that problem with some walls from one of the model packs, and what I found out was that the walls I was using was only one thickness thick instead of two. what I did was after I put my wall segments in with the arrow facing >, I came back on the other side and places the same wall segment < this way, and for me at least that took care of it.

Hope that made sense.

Try using the old FPSC-Game.exe....Build it like Normal....Then Use The PB .exe...Copy the name of the buildt game and rename da PB .exe into w.e it is and replace the final build .exe with da new PB one....that should work....Hope that makes sence

Yes, there was, I sent Lee a full level (in normal FPSC) that was constantly crashing, he found the problem and corrected it in V1.16 B16.

Until then I think I'll take a small break from creating FPSC stuff.

That will work fine if you're confident that you can find all of the files needed to copy over. Stock FPSC won't copy over everything needed for PB to run properly if you're using certain features.

If you bind the weapon's ammo to a variable, you may then cap the ammo by altering the variable (which is now in control of how much ammo the player has in stock). Just check if the variable is greater than the cap you want to place, and if it is then set the variable to your desired limit.

Looking forward to it S4.

May I make a request? Would it be possible to have the player either press a key of click the mouse to continue just after the game has loaded (after the loading bar has finished loading)? This is so that any instructions displayed while loading can be read at the player's own pace instead of having to skim through it before the game loads.

Hey, I have created several scripts recently which just loop undisplaying 2 huds until a variable = 1 then they show one hud while looping and clearing the other 2. I have used loadimage rather than loadimagefine to save the effort of loading the extra detail. The problem is that the huds take a very long time to react. Is there a way of speeding up the reaction time of a script?

Is your HUD updating script placed onto an Always Active entity? I know reaction times can be slow if the script's entity needs to fight for "logic dominance".

If you have conjured entertainments cash system, they use the same entities as he does (pictures). I have about 8 scripts but it only seems to be that particular script which runs very slow. Hurt zones run at normal speed and so does the rest of the game.

@bass guy:

Erm, I'm not too sure about that one, lol. But even so, if they don't have precedence, you can always create a weapon script to give them precedence.

@DonWON:

Nope, haven't tried that particular one myself. I have given the shader code for it a look and I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work.. it looks be just a modified version of the edge-detect shader.

@Arenas:

Hmmmm... perhaps you should attach them to a different entity? If they need to be Always Active, I find that dynamic lights work very well for those scripts.

Ive just tried it on a trigger zone and no luck. I'll try it on a light though and i think that i will add in several commands to hopefully run the script a bit faster.

EDIT

No change

What usually slows down huds? And any idea as to what can speed them up.

@bass guy:

Just use the number, not the name.

@Areans:

Normally there's no reason for it to run any slower than other scripts, unless it's unusually large (the script) or you just have a bit of a logical misfunction. Sometimes scripts will be swapping back and forth between states, and miss an important HUD command while it's in one of the other states, causing it to appear as though it has lag.
