I am neither athority nor authority but I have a wild guess :

One of the mods posted a link, that is by all means much more helpfull to you than a dozen biased posts, what you have probably "missed" and therefore locked the thread because it wasn't useful any more.

Personally I recommend 2 things:

1.
Opt in for "thegamecreators" newsletter because as the name suggests you'll get regular updates on what 's new with the engine, in the store and on the forums.

2.
Spend some time reading the forums if you need updates. Threads that reach a post count of 100+ are good ones to start with as they are most likely about something important (or at least controversial )

In case you find my grammar and spelling weird ---> native German speaker ^^

Read the forum rules. Mod's don't go around locking threads for no reason, so you've must of done something wrong. Also, don't make a post asking why you got an earlier one locked, there is no reason for it.

we can't stop here! this is bat country!

Well thats the thing, the news letters give me so much info I'm not looking for, I just want The main things, and I haven't been looking at them or the fOrums since may, so that's slot of posts to sort through, too many.
They Locke my post after an hour I believe, and NickyDude or whoever commented just a link to the new updates beta test... How is that supposed to answer my question? Oh yea cause download something I have no idea what's new will definitely answer it.
Back in may everything was so easy, ask a question, it's answered 5 minted later, but when I come back, an hour later I'm left with more questions.. What happened to this place.

Quote: "Read the forum rules."

I did. I was not asking a question that someone had asked before and even if I had, this question contradicts the forum rules, therefor showing a flaw in the rules.. Because even of my question was asked before, it is a question that the answer changes with time, not staying the same, the only way the answer Im looking for can stay the same as the past, is if TGC stop all updating, and all users stop creating and updating Mods and material..
Not happening, therefor, I prosumably did nothing wrong, and was locked.

I locked it because I didn't want the thread to turn into a slew of "are you too lazy to look for yourself?" posts. plus a quick look around the forum will show you exactly what's been happening so no, you didn't do anything wrong, I was just trying to stop flaming before it started.

How is anyone supposed to guess, what are the "main things" in your opinion?

For some peopel its the updated engine, for others its shaders, planar shadows or water. Or the BotB 2010 - and thats only to name a few "main things" from my own (totally biased) point of view.

Seriously, working with the FPS creator is an absorbing hobby even if you don't actually design games but just take interest in a single aspect like modelling or scripting. And if you even haven't got the time to read the whole newsletter or work through 20 pages of posts in the 1.18 beta thread, then it's maybe a little to time-consuming for you.

And - no offense meant - but from someone who cares to choose a nick like "crosshair games" I would even expect to be better informed than the "average joes" amongst us. Or at least try to be.

Ohk thank you for telling me why it was locked.
And well the thing is, I do have ADD and I just saw my disc copy of FPSC and got really excited, so I came back here and saw so much has changed, and my mind got overwhelmed.. Haha.

I totally agree my nickname is very far from what I've contributed, I made this account when I first bought FpSC an thought I would be producing stuff, and actually have 5 3/4 completed games on my Mac, but last year I gOt very busy and had to let those project go to pause.

Oh so if I look at the beta testing for the new update it states new features?? Oh I hadn't thought that that, is what NickyDude was tryin to tell me, I thought he just wanted my to download it and see.
There's water for x9 now?!?!
