I have only had FPS creator for a week or so and have been following tutorials in the manual, but 'Pick' in segment mode doesn't seem to work when trying to select a different segment that I want to paste onto the grid. I paste down all required segments on top left of grid before desgining; I select 'pick' mode, click on a different segment but when pasting down onto the grid, it doesn't paste down the 'picked' segment. The only way is to keep selecting the required segment from the library each time. Is there something doing wrong or is this a possible bug?

Wow! There are lots of posts.

If you need to add something, use the edit feature. Don't make more posts.

I'll post the Runtime Errors, and the taskbar problem.

I selected a window and deleted it, but it was still there when I made the game.

Try selecting the window and pressing delete, that should get rid of it.

Twitchy heads - Found this when I was trying to use the freeze scripting command. If you set an entity to a single frame of animation it's head will still twitch slightly.

To replicate create a custom script with nothing in it except this:

:state=0:setframe=1,state=1

The entity will be frozen in place, but it's head will still twitch slightly (need to be somewhat close to the entity to observe this). Tested this on multiple entities to be sure it wasn't associated with just one model (replicated it on Aiko, skeleton, Col. X, soldiers, zombies, etc. etc.)

The .45 and python are held a little funny by entities. See the attached image of the pistol weilding wermacht. All the entities seem to hold it to far forward (some worse than others - the nazi thug is *really* bad).

Not sure if this is an entity setting or a weapon setting that needs to be changed.

Missing Media Bug:

I've noticed compiled games that are missing the files folder run in the background on my computer without an error message.

When you click on such an exe, it appears to just quit, and someone said it hung their computer, but it doesn't do that here.

The point is, the exe needs to exit if it can't find media, and perhaps let the user know what's going on.

When you make a corridor with straight segments, you can walk through
the right hand side at any point and die (if there's nothing there.) Also the outside shows through the segment seams on the right hand side. The picture shows the seam.

Hi,
Just downloaded FPS Creator and when I start the program a windows error box appears with the message "The application has encountered a problem and need to close". FPSC MapEditor then goes consumes up to 100% CPU.
Have an AMD XP 2.4, Win XP Pro, 512Mb Ram, Nvidia MX440 8AGP(Latest drivers), Directx 9.0C installed.
Any ideas what is happening?
Thanks,
Phil

This appears to be a minor bug that hasn't been noted above. I've attached a screen shot, as you can see that there is dark box around the decal, this doesn't always appear but seems to be a problem particulary when the sniper scope is in view.

found a big one. if it is not a bug it still needs to be fixed. when you start a level the amount of health you have is the max. Example: the game starts with 500 health. You finish level 1 with 200. On level 2 there is a health recharge at the begging. When you get the health the highest it goes is 200. This is a big problem.

I loaded the Sci-Fi demo. Examined it, ran it etc.
I wanted to start my level from scratch, using the Sci-Fi theme. In order to keep all the segments and entities loaded, I deleted everything off each level using the selection box.
Once all levels were clear, I went to the "segments" tab. I noticed that the icons for each segment in the list were actually up one space from there description. The Icon that is usually at the top, "Add Segment" was GONE! In its place was the icon for "ground" with the words "Add Segment" below it. And each consecutive icon was one level above the description.
So when I wanted a staircase, I would click on a pictire of a glass window that said "staircase" underneith it. Very wierd.
Only the segments tab was affected. Closing and reloading the program corrected the problem, but it was too wierd.

I have characters walking a path on a platform above the player, they only have only problem which is obviously a bug of some kind :

If as the player you watch the character walk the path from a position away from the platform, the character will walk continuously and correctly, however if you walk to a position somewhere under a platform and wait for the character to move around the platform - you can hear him walk - when he gets to a position directly above the player he stops and walks on the spot and cant progress. Move away from under the platform and the character contiunues on his journey correctly.

God I am really mad. Why is it so many bugs in FPSC?
Well anyway here are some new ones..
- I imported a box and I courld not move when I was standing on it. This is a big problem if You want to jump from stone to stone etc.
- When I kill a character who is standing close to a building, very often it looks like the guy is lying under the building with half his body on the ground(!)
- The very hard bombed building has a bug You can walk thru the wall from the inside right wall.
- after I walked thru a wall(!) I got stuck and I courld not move, tryed everything but nothing worked so I had to exit the game!
- I can confirm the bug half Bullet-Holes, I have seen it often.
- When I imported a big box some enemys was running thru it and others got stuck in it. (I didnt belive my eyes!)
- Sometimes when the enemy is walking they dont move forward!
- The enemys never miss the target they are shooting at.
- You can run thru Your enemys like a ghost!
- The enemies are pointing their guns and arms thru walls & doors!
Who is responseble for the collision-programming.. (LOL!)
When You fix theese bugs the FPSC will be a good Game-Engine and even better if You make it possible to LoadGame, SaveGame..
Please can someone confirm theese bugs so we can make FPSC even- better, and remove theese bugs forever...
Thanks to all bughunters.

hi,

I downloaded FPSC and installed it but every time I try to run it a box opens telling me I have a .DLL error, says to reinstall the program and shuts down FPSC.

I have reinstalled the program, twice, and I've redownloaded it and reinstalled it from the new download and it still gives me an error message.

please help

Here's my contribution (just a polish):

PDF Manual, page 51:
"FPSC uses a well know system called light mapping to achieve realistic shadowing."


In the above sentence, "know" should actually be "known" and read as follows:

"FPSC uses a well known system called light mapping to achieve realistic shadowing."
