Good morning to all.

I wanted to inform the forum users that my wife and I have opened a website called FPS-Media, which is a file repository of the elements created for usage in FPS Creator.

There are many authors that create various elements for FPS Creator and wish to post it for others to download. The idea of creating a central "hub" was born when there have been instances where some downloads were not available, and other times where the site times out or other issues occurred. Our site was put together using the resources owned by my wife and I, and is dedicated to all the authors and to FPS Creator. It was our way to give back to the FPS Community by providing a central "hub" for their media to be available for all the community.

Thanks to Xplosys and Cosmic Prophet, they have allowed us to post their media and content on the site for downloading and to get things rolling. We look forward to posting other authors' elements on the site.

You can get to our site at the following link:

http://fps-media.mk-tek.com

Cheers

I don't recall you asking permission to include the Official Guide in your downloads, I may have forgotten so could you remind me of the email request.

Here is the forum link to my old 'Road Rage' Pack which has a link in the first post to the download site of the Pack.

You may include this Pack on your web site if you wish.

All the best of luck.

I am using Google Chrome, and I get the Safari Alert from your page all the time. Even when changing pages I get the following alert.

I would advise in fixing your javascript.

Quote: "Safari support is very limited and should be considered experimental.
So there is no need to even submit bugreports on this early version.
You can disable this message by setting: safari_warning option to false"

@ Nickydude-

Thank you, and we're sorry for the oversight. The message did get sent out, and at the time we were copying files to the server to test the automated application to process uploads and post, it appeared your guide was included. I do appreciate being allowed to post it.

@ General Jackson-

Certainly. We will post whatever you want, providing it doe not appear in TGC Store, as outlined on our site, and per the discussion we had with TGC.

@ Ross tra damus-

Thank you for the link. I will download and have it posted to the site.

@ Tutelage Systems-

I was told of this error a while back on another site and forgot all about it. My wife and I will look into this and get it fixed. It's our Thanksgiving today so I'll look at it tomorrow first thing.

Thank you all for the support, and we look forward to serving the community and helping out in any capacity we can.

Cheers

BlackFox (and my wife too)

Had a great dinner and took some time tonight to look at the Google Chrome issue.

I managed to find and fix the error with Google Chrome. We downloaded Chrome and ran it to get the error, then found where the fix was required. It was a response being sent from our site, and I found exactly what I needed to do to fix it. Hopefully this is the only issue was with Google Chrome.

If there are further issues with Chrome, please let us know.

Thanks. Where our office and servers are located, the city is doing some major construction. We've noticed some lag and slow periods with our net connection. Hopefully they will get done what they are working on.

@ General Jackson

Certainly. You can e-mail to the address that's on the site Contact page. Gives us a chance to test out the application we wrote to process media submitted to the site.

Absolutely. The more the merrier.

This can be done a couple of ways. Either you can upload them to the site, or if they are posted on other sites, let me know where and we can get them and post them and save you the time.

If you want to upload them, the instructions are on our site. Most of the steps are for the automation process. If you have any questions, let us know and we can help out. Our contact e-mail is in the Contact page.

Just to let the authors know of a change to the site. When we first got the site rolling, we had outlined a specific procedure for uploading content. We had asked that a text file uploaded in a certain format would accompany the upload to process. We have now rewritten our application and revamped the upload process. The text file can now be included in the zip/rar upload, along with it, or not at all. If included, it only needs to have the authors alias name and description of the upload. If it is not included, we wrote the application to read the authors name from the directory and proceed from there. Hopefully this will make it much easier for the authors to upload.

We want to thank everyone for the comments and support received. It is nice to be a part of a great community.

@ Nickydude

Cathy and I have received some excellent feedback on the banner you created us. Our thanks for helping us get a foothold into the community.

Cheers

Mike

Update to FPS-Media: 23-Oct-09

Cathy and I have been updating the site which has been quite busy. We've managed to get a few authors permission to host their media and have it posted. As always, we will continue to add content to the site. We've also managed to get a few of our customers from our company to look at the program FPS Creator and they were really impressed with the large amount of media available and the potential. With any hope, we will help to bring more into this community.

If there is a section that we have missed or someone feels we should include, please do not hesitate to let us know.

We wish to thank everyone for the great start and welcome we've received.

Cheers

It's a good idea, but quite honestly, the design looks horrible. Everything is cramped, slow to load, etc. Maybe it's just because I'm a perfectionist in web development, I don't know.

We're working on having screenshots available for the models section. Some authors have screenshots available, and we grab them when we see them. The packs have them if available, and we decided to also add for the rest.

Not being rude. It's called constructive criticism. There is a difference. It's a nice site, it just could use some speedups and more visually appealing designs.

You were not being rude, just stating your observations, so no worries there. We have been hosting multiple sites on our business account, including mail, DNS, FTP, etc, for many years. We've noticed a speed drop on our business account and our ISP had informed us it was due to the construction going on in our section of the city. Hopefully it will get better soon.

Update to FPS-Media: 15-Nov-09

Cathy and I have been busy keeping the FPS-Media site updated with content. After talking to various authors, we've managed to get a good start on the content.

Added to the site is a section called FPS Mods, and with permission from hockeykid and s4real, we have been able to post mod information on their mods.

Added to the site is a section called FPS Apps & Utils, and with permission from s4real, we have been able to post Vishnu FPSC packer. This is an excellent app for packaging your game and distributing it without your content being extracted. It has been texted and works well on Win XP, Vista, and Windows 7.

We will continue to keep the site updated regularly. Thanks to all for the help in making this project a success.

Cheers

Update to FPS-Media: 10-Dec-09

Happy Holidays from FPS-Media.

With the holidays approaching fast, Cathy and I just wanted to drop a line to wish everyone Happy Holidays. It has been a great year for us and we've met some great friends. This month has been extremely busy with me having to be absent for two x two week sessions and Cathy stepping up to continue in my place. Almost looking forward to retirement down the road

Updates:

We have a couple of projects in development that we want to share. The first project is a manual for Beginners. We realize that there are some manuals already, such as the Official Community Guide, etc. However, this manual will be focused for the "first-time user" of FPSC. Cathy sat down and wrote out the core structure of the manual from a "first-time user" perspective. It will cover the basics and we have recorded some of the various "questions" we see on the forum to be covered in the manual. It is about 1/2 completed and we're hoping to have it ready by the end of this month.

The second project we are developing is a project called Mod-IT. This application will allow FPSC users to "swap" their mod with another for testing/building purposes. We have been in contact with Flatlander (RPG Mod), hockeykid (Fenix Mod), and s4real (Project Green) and all have given us the go-ahead to do this. The application will contain the mods and all the user has to do is click the mod button to "swap" it for them rather than manually having to copy the required files for that selected mod. In my absence, my wife Cathy managed to get the mods in place and has completed the code to swap from RPG to Fenix to Project Green to the default FPSC; no issues were reported and she did a great job. All I have to complete is the help file/manual and it should be ready to release. Of course, I could not have done it without Cathy's help, since my work sometimes takes me away at any time and away from home for any length of time.

Once completed, we will post here in our thread and have a few screenshots to view the application's interface. Until then, we wish everyone the best this holiday season.

Cheers

Mike

Sounds like you and Cathy have been busy, Mike. I hope you're both doing well.

We've thrown around the idea of a manual before, and I thought it should be a basic, start-to-finish type thing. The Community Guide is a great collection of knowlege, but doesn't follow any order, nor instruct the user much in actually using the program. I wrote some training manuals for the Army, and always had to start from scratch. It' a lofty task but I know you're up to it.

Best of luck.
Brian.

That's exactly where I'm at Brian. I just finished another training manual for our SAR unit and Cathy felt that although the Community Guide has a lot of great stuff, it just did not help a "beginner". So we thought we'd attempt it

On a side note, we're both doing good, but exhausted. She held down the fort while I was away and kept the development rolling so I was not too far behind. I could not have asked for a better wife than her. She has certainly gone the distance with this army sgt and deserves all the credit. We're quite excited to see this manual to the end and feel if just one person got use of it, then we did our job.

If you are up to it, we'd like to fire the final draft to both you and s4real to proof for us. This way if we've missed anything, then we can get it covered before the release. Just let me know which e-mail to send to.

Cheers

We have been very, very busy this last month.

I wanted to post an update to our application that Mike posted about- the swapping of mods for FPSC. I had worked on some of the code while Mike was at work today and changed the application structure so the user can specify the mod they are wanting to use. This way others can use this application and not be limited to just certain mods. I would like to thank s4real for giving Mike the idea, which I also told him that would be a good move to make.

The final test on our end is happening this weekend. I know Mike wants to send to s4real to test off-site. If all goes well, we will be releasing to the forum within a few days. I guess this is the advantage we both have, being not just husband and wife, but partners in this industry as well. Projects are constantly on the go between both of us until they are completed.

In the meantime, I will be doing the last minute Christmas baking and final preparations for Christmas. If I do not get a chance before, I would like to wish everyone Happy Holidays.

@ Nickydude

That's not a problem. I figure if you had time you could view it at your leisure. We can always add to it if we need to expand the manual. I have Xplosys available to look it over and that will get this project off the ground.

@ KeithC

Thank you for the compliment. It is a lot of work keeping up with all the content that goes through here, plus we keep track of the authors we have posted already when they have more content. However, we enjoy giving back to the community in some way for everything we have received. And it gives us a chance to make friends.

Cheers

Mike
