I sorta agree with you and sorta dont. This is not gonna make some super-dooper top-quality commercial FPS and there are some things that it wont be able to do. Out of the box it is not going to be doing everything that people want it to (melee weapons, cut-scenes and vehicles etc...) but with some clever scripting, I think that most of these things will be able to happen. People want to be able to click a few buttons and create "the best Doom/Halflife/Farcry/Deus EX clone ever" tm. but it wont happen. What will happen is that people will learn the scripting language and make some really cool games that MAY even sell. Its not gonna be easy, but then again its not gonna be hard because we are essentially working around a template. We all just need to spend some time with the engine, work with the scripts for a while, post some tips on it and then we'll have some cool varied games in no time. Crazy ideas will get the best results!

Hi Rob,

This is for you and anyone else reading this.

I presume your 100mb videos are avi format?

Anyway, go to www.microsoft.com and do a search for Windows Media Encoder.

Thats what I use. You can use that to convert your videos with audio to almost any quality you like....wmv format.

The beauty of the program is that you do not have to open the video and view the video to be converted into the prog unless you want to - you simply choose the source file and destination file locations from your hard disk and convert.

Of course you could always get the latest Windows Movie Maker if you want to add any transitions or titles.

In fact it may well be possible to make some great games with FPSC that sell well, though such may be limited in number. As with any other engine it will take hard work and dedication.

There are many criteria which make for a saleable game and some of the biggest sellers ever have been relatively simple games which provide the user with compelling, addictive and fun gameplay. The success of any game will depend on many other factors too, such as how you might to present it to a wide audience. You cant possibly sell a lot of copies if few people ever see or hear about it.

One things for sure - you wont sell anything if you dont complete it and we can be sure that FPSC will at least provide a medium through which finished playable games can at least be actually completed.

Hopefully this will include some which may prove to be successful commercially.

Another option is to go to www.divx.com and use the divx codec to compress your video. Altough "Uman"s version is probably easier.

and "Coldnews" i agree with

But i only agree that crazy ideas are good when actually using the software.
I youst dont want people to expect to make the next "farcry" or "Doom3" and then come back to this forum when they got FPSC to whine about how bad it is when they fail.

What did you use to record the screen? I've tried Camtasia but the game will always lag when I try recording and playing at the same time, leaving a less than useful video.

I see there was a nazi officer in that screen, is that one of the encluded models with the program? And if so, is that the only Nazi soldier available? Because fighting tons of officers wouldn't be very realistic

Guns arn't the problem, people are the problem, shoot all the people and guns arn't a problem anymore.

Very, very bad language. And I think they thought I flamed at you for no reason cos it's in another tread and not in the "I've got a tale to say". Well my own fault I guess, I still can purchase things with my other account but when I enter the forums it just automaticaly logs off.

There's quite a lot of Nazi enemies, like about 5 different characters each with I think 6 weapon variants. Unfortunately I think we'll see about 200 Wolfenstein rip-offs .

All the enemy models have idle animations, but I'm not sure of the plans for player idle animations, those might be waiting on some arms. It should be easy to do that through the script system though, like using a variable delay - if you move this variable gets set to 100, otherwise it takes 1 away and if it reaches 0 it could start looping the idle animation.

I meant, cant you at least have a wall explode and a tank drive through the crater? Also, ive looked at a SVEN co-op tank AI script and all it really said was the tank would use it's MG on the closest enemy.

...perfecting my reality...

Possibly, the question should be, can you code the script to create the explosion particles, hide the wall entity and move a tank through it?. That sorta stuff is not gonna be part of the editor, but you can do a lot with the scripts.

Personally I'd get a tank and a fake wall, and animate all the bits flying out then animate the tank moving through the hole and driving away, then using it as a static enemy that can't be shot, I'd position it on the level at a space in a wall.
