I have searched but could not find an example of what im looking for...
i have a single player game being made...also i have multiplayer game of similar levels aswell..is there a program where i can create an .exe for my single player game, and i can use 25 levels for example..and also have an .exe for my mutliplayer games so it looks like both .exe files can be accessed by the same menu system..so i could choose to launch either multiplayer game or single player game, as together there will be over 50 levels of play..
thanks firelord...

If I am understanding right, you want to have a menu to choose between a "campaign" or "multi-player" right?

I am not sure on doing this directly with FPSC or DBpro or a combination of the two, but you can always try outside sources.

Example:

1. Build both your multi-player and your campaign games separately.
2. Use VB Express to build a windows form or WPF that resembles a game menu with the choices of multi-player and campaign.
3. Have one button launch the multi-player and one button launch the campaign version.

Point being, don't forget that you can create multiple programs / apps that give you the desired effect.

There are a lot of options to accomplish the same effect.
Luckily, when you "build game" with FPSC it creates the launch-able exe for the entire game without an install needed so it kind of makes the process simple. Basically just include the game files (ALL of them) with the installer for your launch screen you make with the windows form.

The same effect, I'm sure, can be accomplished with visual c++ express, but I am more familiar with vb..
