Graphical Requests

I was playing Amnesia the other day, critics have praised it for it's good quality graphics, but if you play around in the engine, it only has a few features that FPSC doesn't.

Anti Aliasing
Anisotropic Filtering
SSAO
Parallax/Relief Mapping

(I'm suprised AA and AF haven't been added already to clean up the graphics).

Functionality Requests

-Flashlight system

On top of that, a larger grid size (even 60x60 would be a big improvement) would be nice, and something not done before in FPSC.

The ability of an entity(badguy) trip a triggerzone like the player can. The entitywithinzone,allwithinzone etc. Just don't work the way you'd think. It seems to me anyway that having the ability to use a badguy to trigger a Zone to play say an audio file, or trigger someother action would open some options in game design.

Great project knxrb! Keep this up!

@all: The idea, I believe, is to upload your ideas to the link provided, can be mistaken though.

Yep, that is the idea, that way I have a list I can sort and query

Yes, I'm looking into this

Thanks very much, I plan to release details of the first features this month, I'm just getting the features setup and ready for good screenshots and maybe a demo.

@knxrb

Requests
* Flashlight (should be easy, SC has code on his site)
* Climbable segments
* Limb culling
* Bullet Time\Slow Motion (It will be in my upcoming mod, but I can give you the code if you want)
* Limb detachment
* Turrets
* Mounted weapons

EDIT: I almost forgot, sector-based mapping mode, like in DooM, of
course this should be toggle-able though. It would be awesome to
have this, as it would allow users to make more complex maps, and
not have to make segments. I doubt this will be done though

ya know, I would love to have my enemy ai characters work on terrain from a model with out having to chop it into little tiny pieces for singleplayer games. that alone would make me cry tears of joy.

would Hard coded third person view with scripting support be too big of a request? I figured it would be a less buggy thing if it were hard coded since DBP can do it and has cam codeing.

I agree, positional 3d sound would be awesome, and not that hard to do (in theory). Calculate distance from player to entity, this controls the max volume of both the left and right channels. Then calculate x distance and y distance to get tan(Theta), then use sin and cos to alternate the volume of the left and right channels. But I'm not sure if DarkBasic allows you to control the volume of the channels.

I'm thinking a trophy system type thing, where its like model pack 58, except it will store it so when you exit the game, you will keep your trophy in a menu or something, like the PS3 XMB. That would be cool.

Good. Something I might recommend for the mod?

- Adding custom animation slots in weapons. And have them able to be called in a FPI script.

- Add support for an animated image. Like Call of Duty's +5 or +50 images.

- Adding tracer particles for each raycast that acts as a bullet.

- Better physics. When an explosion of greater force than the entity weight hits them, they fly backwards, left, right, or forward. Of course, the harder the hit, the further the flying.

- Dynamic scenes, like sunset and sunrise.

- Terrain collision. MUST HAVE in the game industry.

Just some ideas from a guy who could definently utilize the features mentioned.

Hello there knxrb!
I would have three requests.

1. Rewrite of animated video menu-function and/or loaded menu-level to use as background
2. Physical bullet tracers (probably too hard to do?)

The third one is a request you probably even won't think about to do, but maybe you'll get an idea though.

3. Add level streaming support for much less memory usage (probably use some occlusion-culling-like techniques to determine what to unload and what has to be loaded to show the level correctly)

Well, that's all from me now. And good luck with your modification.

Greetings,
Jan

The only modification I'd need is, that the engine isn't eating up ressources as fast as it does now, so that a halfway good-looking game doesn't hit the memory cap after using only 20% of the grid.

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

Hello there!

Marc Steene, I know that and I tried to use it for many, many times. It seems like the built in function doesn't work on many machines with special hardware. Probably depends on the graphics card... (Tested on Nvidia cards GTX 680, 9800GT, 6100 and 6200GT and AMD cards HD 4870, HD 4650 and Mobility HD 5850)

The game just crashes or the video isn't played correctly. I also tried many video formats. (from uncompressed AVI's through H.264 MP4's to WMV's)

My (corrected) request would be to build a new function from scratch that would handle all this a little better.

Greetings,
Jan

I think improvements to the Lighting and Sound system would be nice.
I think entities should react with more that just a single light source.
The sound system is another issue, with sounds being able to be heard all the way across a map.

I think a modifies facial animation system with face gestures and smoother lipsync would be useful, to stop really robotic looking characters. In fact I think we need to improve the animation system, only being able to play one animation at a time makes characters look robotic and unreal, being able to cross fade and merge animations to create gestures would be very useful to bring npcs to life. I think enhanced animation has similar stuff.

If something compiles on the first try. Something is terribly wrong.

In consideration of the current situation with the FPSC product, not sure about features as such but a bug free and stable development environment which has been missing from the Product for quite some considerable amount of time is much needed.

A level of stability which will allow users to concentrate on developing their games with some degree of certainty that they would not be prevented from completing it by the engine falling over before they can get anywhere near completion and not having to fight with constant stability or other issues and serious bugs.

Thats what prevents many more games being completed by indie developers using FPSC and many other Indie engines. Too much fighting with engines and not enough production.

Uman has a great point. Stability in FPSC should be a key priority. Developers look for stability for Indie Games. Purely the reason I moved my game, Robolegs, from FPSC to another engine.

I second the stability. It's better to have a cake that doesn't fall apart than to hae one that does and put more icing on it....

@FPSCGamerGuy2, Robolegs is progressing excellently. Its been redeveloped n a different engine so its no longer in FPSC. Check out the thread in the WIP section, there is a video of it using the new engine.

on topic, is there a specific release date for Trident?

I tried to post this on your trident site suggestion. But your page gives an error when submitting.
here are my ideas.
Pick character (model or skin or even class/abilities) in MP.
team vs team in Mp.
Ranking in MP so that better player play against similar ranking players, those that play well can try and fight players higher up the ranking, those that do well drop in ranking, this makes games competitive, and matches players of ability.
Not sure if any of these are available in your other MP mod, I'm just looking into MP so have not fully looked into what is available.

Not yet, but with the amount of features I'm putting in it'll be next year, there's too many to code it all in time to release in 2012.
