Can you export levels to DBPro with FPSC?

No but TGC will release the FPSC engine source code in DBPro format. Read the Newsletter 33.

I read the newsletter. I am so glad that all of this is going well. Okay, can a mod move this to the feature creep section, I posted this in the wrong section.

Will it be free, or will you have to buy it? Also, why give away the source after so many years of working on the game maker?

Okay then. I would definately like to look over the coding, but I think that FPSC will fail after Leadwerks comes out with their engine.

We are releasing the GAME ENGINE source code. I.e. the code that goes into the EXE when you do a "Build Game". This is NOT the same thing as the level building / game making part of FPSC. That most certainly will not be released.

Yes, it will be free. Why give that code away? So people can modify it of course! Add their own cool features, etc.

Well, I already knew it was only the engine code from the .exe. That is the only thing that I would really be interested in.

it would be cool if we could "build game" then transfer our built game to dbpro...so we could make a ton of cool stuff.

I am really BULLSHOCK, but my profile got deleted...really, i'm telling the truth!

The Leadwerks engine is going to be 3D World Studio (CShop 5) made into a whole game engine with built-in physics, scripting, and a cool level editor. It will have way more features than FPSC, but with a bigger price tag.

I would like to buy FPSC, but I would like to know this: When you put in your custom guns, do you have to give all the animations for the gun movement and stuff, or is that precalculated. I think that I may buy it.

If you add your own gun you make one .x file that has all the animation in it and then tell the "gunspec.txt" file were each animation starts and ends. The gunspec file looks like this:

Interesting. Thank you very much, because I never would have know that. Well, I think that I may buy FPSC. I just have another few questions. With the menus, how limited are they and what would you suggest to do with them?

GameDev, i see that you know well about the Leadwerks engine, so, do you know what's the programming language?

I am not sure about that. I just know lots about what will be in it. The programming language (I think) is a C++ library. I am really not sure about that one, and I will get back to you on it.

About the menus, a little limited, but you may position the buttons where you want, and change all the pictures.

the menu's are not limited at all, you can create your own title.ini / title.fpi files and stuff making it have everything a normal game has, just maybe a lil bit complicated

No, this isn't a requirement AFAIK. You need DBPro 5.9, which we'll release at the same time.

Very soon. Read this months newsletter for more details. I would expect it by the end of October, if not before (no promises though)

Interesting. Will you need to obtain a paid version of FPSC to get the source code, or will it be open to everyone.

As long as it comes out by the end if January, that would be fine.

I am going to buy FPSC around Christmas for the multiplayer stuff. Also, I want to get some of the media. It looks really sharp.
