If you modified the "mygame.fpg" file when building a game. The test game loads all the stuff from that file. So you might have the ambiance level set in the build game to 30 by mistake. Which could be why the Test game resets it every time.

At least that's what I think...

I have my project on "mygame.fpg" and i don't think i have modified it at all. Should i just make a new game file and maybe it will help?

That could just be it. For some reason FPSC uses a set ambiance level for all levels in your built game (Unless you add some scripts to change that).

If you want the ambiance level to be the same on all your maps, then edit the "mygame.fpg" and change the ambiance in the "Global Script" under the "Level Settings" tab. Remember to press enter then Ok too apply it. Re-check to see if it changed. Then exit FPSC and open it again, then re-do the test game.

If this doesn't work, then create a new .FPG file and make all the changes you want for the game and add all the levels but don't build it. Click Ok instead. Re-load the map you added into the build setup and test it to see what happens now.

This at least works for me, my ambiances and even my hud and fog remains un-changed during test game.

Hopefully this works out for you and good luck...

No you will always need a script.

However, don't panic. Here is a thread with a script made by someone else that should fix the problem: http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=96476&b=21

Look at the post Benjamin A created.

Good Luck...

Nope. You could just use notepad.

When you save the .fpi file. Click "Save as" and change the "Text Documents (*.txt)" next to "save as file type" to "All files" (*.*).

Type the name of the script and add .fpi at the end. FPSC will recognize the file as a .fpi script file used for the game.

Also check out: FPI Edit Pad

Refer to FPSC manual for a list of commands and how to use them.

You would normally change the Main Script.
