Hi everyone, after many months of pouring through the sourcecode, I am proud to present to you my very first mod for FPSC:
Vanilla Mod
The release of any new mod is exciting for all members of the forum: What new features will it add? How will this impact on my future game development? What will the level of support be like? Will it cost money and what sort of updates can I expect in the future? Well all these questions and more will be answered in the FAQ below.
FAQ:
What new features will it add?
See below for the full changelog:
*The text vanilla mod is displayed on screen in test game.
*an extra special feature is added to built games
Well really the sky is the limit. This mod has all the features of v1.18 beta with the added bonus of the features listed above. I'm really looking forward to seeing what can be achieved utilising these incredible new features
What will the level of support be like?
I have put 110% into the creation of this mod and do not want to see its potential go to waste. You have my word that should any problem arise
with the features which have been added, I will work night and day until they are fixed.
Will it cost money and what sort of updates can I expect in the future?
At this stage it will be free. But should the response to the mod be good enough and I feel the need of a little extra money to buy something nice, like a curry for dinner or a new pair of shoes then I shall consider charging for the mod. The price will be considered on a case by case basis: essentially it will boil down to the more you earn the more you will pay. This is fair for all users with the richest of you subsidising the poorer of the forum.
What version of FPSC is this compatible with?
It is known to be compatible with V1.18, but may work with earlier version. However, they are untested and unsupported at this time.
Can we donate some money to you for all the hard work you have done so far?
Not as this stage, but as I said above, should i feel like buying something and I don't have the cash at the time, I might put up a donate button.
Where can I get this incredible mod and test out all these new features?
Good question. You will find the mod attached to this very post. All you need to do is click the download button and using the power of the internet the file will magically make its way to your very own computer.
How do I install the mod?
You simply copy the fpsc-game.exe into your fpsc folder. Making sure you have first backed up your original file by naming it something easily identifiable such as "fpsc-gameorginalfilewhichirenamedwheninstallingvanillamodsoididntloseit.exe"
I take no responsibility for your inability to install the mod correctly and breaking your installation of fpsc.
Does the file contain any viruses/Virii (I never know which is the correct way to write that)?
None. The file will not harm your computer in anyway. But you should always virus check anything you download before using it anyway.
I have a question, not answered here. Where can I ask it?

A website for the mod will be set up very soon, and will showcase various games created using the mod and will have a vibrant active community upon launch. More details about the website will be provided later.
Enjoy everyone
