FPS Creator X10 / It won't test run my game

Hi all,

I wanted to test run a game, but even thow fps x10 completes the loading proces, when I press the ok button, nothing happens. I get a window to pop up in my taskbar that reads "fps game" but the game never starts. It's just a test run to see if I got the environment right. Only one player, no enemies, one gun, a bit of ammo, nothing else. The level I built has three stories: one smaller basement, a ground flour with a couple of doors and a second floor. It does use up most of the available modeling grid. What could be causing this problem? If I just build a very small square room with one or two hallways, it runs fine...

The are my specs:
Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit
Intel Centrino
4 GB Ram
Geforce 9500m GS 521 MB

If anyone knows what causes this, feel free to post. I did scan the formums here and a similar thread about a game not getting up gave the possibility of having too many lights in the game... My lights load just fine according to fps, but if this were the case, how do I bring the amount of lights down?

Thanks a lot,

Gibrril

P.S. I've been wondering about this, can the model packs for the old fps be used with the new fps x10?

Right...So you have messed up your FPS Creator again lol haven't said that in a while.

What version of FPSC X10 are you using and can you please tell us if you are running as admin or with UAC on or off.

Also the old model packs can be used with FPSC X10 but only one not both at the same time. Note that MP3 has bugs at the moment not worth getting that one. Good Luck

Well, I have the problem too. But

might be a hint that your computer cannot run such a large level, especialy if it has a lot of different textures and models in it.

I am running it as an admin. What is UAC?
It's version 1.08.

What is the latest version of directX? How do you update that?

I use very little textures by the way... It's all the same bunker material. That and a very tiny spot of grass in the middle.

Kind regards,

Gibrril

Do you mean the game is loaded on the taskbar at the bottom of your desktop but you can still see the editor as a black screen and cannot see the map or entities you were editing?

If it is this simply hold "Alt" and press "Tab" key until you select the FPS Game program and it will maximise the window.

If not then sorry couldnt help lol

I think that's his problem the whole alt tap thing. Its happend to me a few times and that seems to fix it. Cause if the game is load and there were no errors, and he has the fps game in his task bar then that would be his problem. So load the map up once again and test run it. If the problem happens again then come back and will try to find out what is wrong from there.
