I already own FPS creator and have the free version of DBP. My question is, if you make the exact same level on both FPSC and DBP what will be better? E.g. if you code custom lighting, physics, AI in DBP will it turn out better than if you make it straight from FPSC? And would DGDK be even better then both of them?

Thanks

It would depend. Programming everything will be more timeconsuming, but you would only have to implement the features that you would actually use.

It depends on what you want out of your game.

If you know how to program well. In DarkGDK you might see some performance increases since it is in C++. And even with dbPro, you would only code what you wanted, so it could also make it faster not have extra things you don't want.

It completley depends on HOW you code it... If you make a level in FPSC you would only need to create the level in the editor but in DBP you would need the make the entire engine from scratch. (TGC has been workin on fpsc since 2002 I think) But you would allso be able to customise the game a LOT more...

fpsc is not that "well" coded because it has to fit for each of us and all thinkable scenarios. when you code your own engine, it will fit only for your personal issues, but that means you can get off all the "unneccessary crap" others need.

so i think a direct-coded level will run much better (if you code it well).

question for me is:
i build a game in fpsc and when ready, do a personal mod for the engine to fit only for this game, getting rid of everything NOT used. will it run better after this surgery?

The problem with that, is that you'd have to ensure that your built game uses nothing that you removed. That could be an interesting exercise.
