Downloading now cant wait to try it out.

I have some shiny media ready and to be tested with this mod.

Also guys, i understand some of you could get frustrated if something doesnt work.
But realise that he put a readme with it. And that this is also a BETA.

So its best to read the readme first.

oh yeah, thats also a big problem i dont understand.

sometimes the whole world disappears.
You should start with a floor and build it, to find out if it runs, than build the level.

Will add this to the known bugs section!

Bugs I have found so far

- If shadow setting for sun get below 256 in size you start to get a wave effect on all light sources ((for some reason it was set to 32?)
- Ambient light no longer can be edited (was looking forward to doing a horror style test level)
- Object hiding looks really odd if you have buildings, i.e if you place a 2 buildings and you look at both in view it casts a shadow on the other, but if you move forward to only have one in sight the entire shadow disappears from the building not in view
- Depth of field is also odd when you walk upstairs as it seems to focus on each individual step, or just messes up and blurs everything until you reach the top or bottom.
- Walking with all effects I get about a 20-25 FPS, but it seems to cut and go at certain points like he's stopping and going.
-If you left click it freezes 90 percent of the time, but every time this happens you can press ESC to stop it.

So far I have figured out a way past the disappearing glitch though by re-editing only tutorial files, which seems to always get a proper build. So far everything looks ace, did a sun rise level and it looked awesome also tested out dynamic shadows on the volcano level looks really good!

Edit: I suck a grammer and spelling

Build your game and go into the folder and copy everything from the media folder to the build game folder. Then run it from FPSC-Game.exe

looks good, I've also been able to compile a map with no dynamic lights, I see that your level do not have lights or dynamic and static, that is the only problem corvus mod that you can put dynamic lighting

Well this was just one level I used to test out the T o D system I have levels with lots of lights in them, they are all dynamic and working to. Have not added any static though as apparently that causes problems?

hey I have seen your Video, looks good.
Maybe it needs some more Lighting at some points.

@Kill3r7:
Normally the dynamic lights work perfectly. You should be able to build a game. If the version without lights runs perfect, the one with Lights should too.

Make sure you turned dynamic lighting on ^^

Well, I have started to work in a fairly large demonstration with the effects of parallax mapping enabled, relief mapping and normal mapping too.

I need finish creating the level, though I've tried and I got about 30 fps constant at 1920x1080 resolution "directsize = 4096"! and "shadowsize = 512".

surely I will upload screenshots.

You need to spell "spell" right nah I'm kidding, but I do have some suggestions for this mod that would make it the B-O-T-B:

- Motion Blur
- Moving Lights
- Why is the menu FPS so low?

overall though BEST MOD for FPSC I have ever used!

haha sorry

And.. Dark Globin, I still creating the level, I see that the performance is very good, but when you rotate the camera or go to a place where there are many dynamic light the performance is very Low

Quote: "- Why is the menu FPS so low?"


the problem is due to load corvus mod post processing effects on the startup screen, but after starting the performance level increases

Motion Blur is already in but not really visible, because its has a low value (maybe need to change it later ).

the Menu FPS is low because the whole thing needs to be created before something is loaded, which is before the menu is created. Otherwise it does not work (dont ask me why ).
And the thing with the dynamic lights can be... this could be the biggest performance drop.
But dont know if I can change something.

Moving Lights are something I want, but no clue how to do this, will see.

Heya dark goblin, I was wondering... lee said he was going to release the source code from FPSC x10. When he does would you at all be interested in making this mod compatible with it? or is this only going to stay x9?

That is extremely unlikely considering FPSC X10 uses a private (x10) version of DBP that has exclusive commands and pipelines.

I would really consider uping it, as for the moving lights thing hmmm, I am not a programmer, but couldn't you just add like scripting commands for the item to move?

Yes, but the problem is rendering the light on the texture/casting shadows.

Now will we be able to keep the "time of day" at one specific point? Like it always stays night or early morning, for example...

If you're still confused about making script commands, I wrote a tutorial about how to do it a while back.
