I am just thrilled to see how thriving this TGC Forum is. I bought FPSC about 2 years ago and tinkered with it. I never delved into scripting or creating models. I finally have the time to sit down with it and open up my imagination on the pc screen boo ahh ahh lol. I am happy to be a part of FPSC and am looking forward to posting my first game on WIP. Thank all of you valued members for supporting this game network

regards,

KillShadow

Tell me about it!

I've always said FPSC is amongst the best game engines in the world and when combining the latest version v116 with the fantastic mods out there, people are seeing the reality of that.

Bond1 really gave FPSC a facelift with his latest shaders recently and the mods are just getting better all the time. The community here is really driving the success of FPSC and as a result we are seeing orders of magnitude improvement.

Perhaps the concept of a drag and drop game creation tool which can produce commercial quality games isn't so far away now!

Yup, all we need now is an AI system that can match up to games such as call of duty.

Mmm... careful what you say about them. It's amazing what people have done with scripts, for example, Ply's vehicle script was so cool.

Well, Dark AI is the longest we got for now (I think). It is excellent!

FPSC's taking the right steps in the right direction, I just left it though. I'm disheartened because at the current rate of improvement, it will always be behind the big guns...

It's a good starter engine, I'll give TGC that. If you wanna get to learn the basics of throwing a level together, it's amazing. I just can't get the visions and ideas I have to work in it, not without dumbing them down considerably...

actually, the AI IMO is just as good as call of duty enemies, all they have is: more animations, more enemies in general, and more than one weapon held. EAI's chars, a good computer, and a little bit of source modification can fix that right up!

The AI isn't as good, sorry. FPSC AI just doesn't have the same pathfinding ability...

It's also a big bit harder to feel challenged by the FPSC AI...

The AI doesn't have big enough maps to act smarter with. FPSC's map size/framerate (unmodded) is just too limited. I think the AI is pretty good for indoors, simple, straightforward. It depends on what you want them to do.

Im gonna agree with PW Productions on that one. With FPSC's AI, I'd say you could procuce a decent and straightfoward FPS Game with it. But in terms of pathfinding, CoffeeGrunt is right. The AI just isn't smart enough at this point in time for that.

I am so glad that my first post has roused this much response. Here is my two cents worth for what it's worth. I feel that we as independant game producers have gotten so much out of the TGC in general. Sure you have to pay for FPSC and The Model packs but look what you get. I looked at torque and bare bones it was over a thousand for the license. Kudos to Rick Vanner and Lee Bamber - Dark Basic god lol for creating this incredible platform for all of us. I can't wait to post my first WIP and get critique from all of you on this forum. Someday I hope to see KillShadow in BOTB.

Peace out

It's good to see you as one of the first members of the forum over at MBD, Kill Shadow. It's great to have you on board, and hope you enjoy your stay.

That said - I really also am amazed by the progress of this software since I started back in early 2006. I love using FPSC, and with the amount of progress, I think I might be a lifetime member, and I'm not just some kid thinking it's a good engine - I really like the engine, and I like the community that supports it.

Gunn3r you are a great designer and I wish your future endeavours the very best. For anyone out there Gunn3r's 4 part essay on how to build a great BOTB game is great reading. If you can Gunn3r post a link its very valueable reading material for anyone interested in making great games I had to google it

Well, since it was asked for, here is a link for it: http://moltenbytedesign.net/news/
Like I said, I really enjoy using FPSC and have spent a good deal of time without posting anything - I HAVE been working on eternal, and perfecting the features that I have planned for it. With the relatively recent release of Project Blue, I can find ways to accomplish anything I've thought of so far. It's fantastic.
