Heya, everyone!
Well, I just downloaded the trial version of FPS creator and I was asking myself if there's the possibility to add intros/cutscenes to the game?
Also,is there a manual or some tutorials for this somewhere?
I sure will have more questions later, right now I'll just click around...

A 'Story Zone' object will be available in V1, which means that you will be able to add cutscenes/sounds/images at the start AND in the middle of levels. There are a few tutorials on the board-you could try searching for 'tutorials' or something like that. The manual is available on the official website (http://www.fpscreator.com)

There is a manul in Start-Programs/All Programs-The Game Creators-FPSC-FPSC Manuel.

The manuel itself has some tutorials.

@Nutbolt

Just put a TriggerZone in front of the door and attach this script to it:


Replace YOURMESSAGE.tga with the name of your message file.
Save your message picture in the texturebank\user folder.

The message will come up when you enter the zone and fade out if you press enter or leave the zone.

@All: Yeah great thanks a lot! I've been looking around in the forums and tried some stuff and so on... now...
I suppose you still need some scripting if you want to make a game that has it's own originality heh... That's the hard thing. But as I can see there's a cool community out here helping each other...
I'm positive, I'll buy this.It's potential to evolve into a unique game maker with a lot of innovating stuff motivates me....
And yeah... what's a game without cutscenes, these days?

There is a freeware tool called DDS Converter 2.
Maybe you want to try it:
http://eliteforce2.filefront.com/file/DDS_Converter;29412

You can make your messagepicture as a bmb, jpg or png file and convert it with that tool to tga or dds.

If you use tga then FPSC makes a dds file when you build your game.

It doesnt matter if you write the filename as tga or dds file in the script.
