If you are looking to Mod an FPSC game then this might not be the best forum to ask the question, try here:
http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_read&i=21

I'm not sure why you would want to start games with a batch command? Are you trying to do an online game like Call of Duty or something?

Maybe you need to start with something a little smaller if that's the case. You don't want to try something too ambitious for your first project as you'll only get frustrated and give up or make something that's too complicated to run at a good speed...

Sorry if that sounds negative but it's the best way to start out in my opinion!

Take a look here:
http://www.thegamecreators.com/?m=view_product&id=2001&page=Files

It tells you how to get started.

Quote: "FPS Creator Game Source Code
Here is the latest version of the FPS Creator Game Source Code + all required DLLs to get it compiling. You will need to own DarkBASIC Professional Version 6.6 to compile the code. You will also need the 6.6 Extras archive, which you can download from the same page. Make absolutely sure you have DirectX 9.0c FEB 2006 edition (or later) installed. Upgrade DBPro to 6.6. Then unzip the Extras file into your DBPro folder. This will install various new DLLs including a special version of the Expansion Pack specifically for FPSC. Inside the Projects folder you will find the FPSC Game source code.

What exactly do you want here? What are you trying to do?

Nobody will help you if you don't give a specific problem.

Are you saying "Please write a game for me!"?

I asked for more specifics:
Quote: "I'm not sure why you would want to start games with a batch command? Are you trying to do an online game like Call of Duty or something?"

...and got no response!

i try to give Multiplayer a new acces point
so if i use batch game.exe hostgame
that it directly no menu just start the game. in Host mode directly

same for joining that i type Game.exe join 901.123.123.141 that it auto joins the game with that ip no menu in front

and 2th thing is that instead of only showing the Frags someone made also write it to a Text file or a ini file.

thats what i wanna do. i have the FPSCgame source but i dont have any experiance with DB so its hard for me to find any solution for this.

Well, I haven't used the FPSC source code but it sounds like you need to pass an IP address to the game using a ".bat" file?

If that's the case you can pass a string in the command line which DBP can check using:


Then you can use whatever you passed in the command line within the game as an IP.

Quote: "and 2th thing is that instead of only showing the Frags someone made also write it to a Text file or a ini file"

What are "Frags"? Writing to a file is not so complicated...



...and reading from a file is equally easy

I may have written my original wrong actually sorry. I'm trying to understand exactly what you want here (I realise English is not your native tongue)...

Are you trying to open a "game.exe" from within a different ".exe" written in DBP?

If so I would pass the information like this:


...and retrieve it in 'game.exe' like this:


At least I think that's right, it's been a while...

Whether it's the right information for FPSC I'm not sure, or what the right information would be. Maybe someone else out there can help?

like in batch
game.exe 901.123.123.141 must start the game and join this ip.

Could you provide the rest of the code from "select" to "endselect" for this snippet?


...and search all of the code for something that says
"#constant AIACTHOSTGAME"
and...
"#constant AIACTJOINGAME"

There will be a variable you need to change at the start of the statement.

OK, I took a look and it hurt my brain!!

I can see why you are having trouble. You need help from someone who either a)already knows this code or b)wants to do the same thing as you...

Unfortunately I don't fit either of those, sorry!! Anyone else here fit the bill?

I want to help. I'd spend a bit more time on it but I'm frantically trying to work on my Intel competition entry.

It has been less than 24 hours since my last post... have a little patience.

No-one is going to help you because:
1. You aren't even trying to do it for yourself - no-one is going to write your code for you.
2. You don't even have a list of things you want to accomplish - you started up with something about storing frag counts giving no idea on how that was supposed to be used within the game, then added multiplayer out of the blue later.
3. It's old source code - the current version being developed is 1.20.

Oooh, and there was me trying to be diplomatic...

Anyway, the way the £pound is these days 15$ might be worth quite a bit!

There's got to be someone still modding out there (on the FPSC forums) that will help surely?

15 UK Pounds is equal to $23.46 US Dollars. Not really worth the headache of working with somebody who refuses to learn programming himself. IanMs list is 100% accurate... number one stops most of us from giving him any code. We only like to help when the newbie actually wants to learn.

I have to agree that I didn't get the impression you were asking for 100% complete code.

Quote: "but as nobody responded to me i wanna try it my self"

...from your first post

However I already posted an easy way to write to a txt file and never got a response on whether it helped or not. Also you keep saying "Why does nobody want to help me?", when that's all I've been doing!!

I realise there is a language barrier and having lived and worked in another country that doesn't speek my native language (for 3 years) I know how hard it is to get your point across so I've been pretty patient. Why not look at my txt file writing code and decide whether it helps or not before dismissing it?

As for the other stuff I would help if I could!
