lol i just came here to post something likethis i guess you beat me to it lol. Yea finally TCG is focusing on FPS Creator!!!

Quote: "Things in the land of FPS Creator are certainly heating up. We are working on a wide range of developments within our research labs and for the best part of 2006 we have focused on the DarkBASIC Professional range of products. It's now time to focus on FPS Creator. Over the next few weeks we will be developing new fixes to the core FPSC product and also adding in a 'load' and 'save' game feature. For now this is all the news we plan to make public, but we do see FPS Creator as a very important development tool and will expand it further. More news of this will be revealed when we feel the time's right, but for now check out the first upgrade below."

Flak is what the bazooka fires. It must fix the amount you can fire, or the bouncing bug where it hits walls and blows up too soon when its only meant to blow when it hits an entity.

Great news indeed. I suppose I can only dream that in the next update TGC will fix the Story Zone bug so I don't have to seperate Project Luna into episodes.

It worked fine for me... I'm glad save/load is on the cards, maybe it will stop every other post being "How can I save & load my game" or "New Save/Load feature comming soon"...

I wonder if the new version will fix the "waypoing" typo...

I don't want to see a FPSC Professional!

Yep, you need the very latest version of DirectX 9c (assuming that the error message you get mentions something about DirectX)

Anyway this is great. Hopefully the next version with save/load comes out soon. I can't develop games with FPSC at the moment because you can't save.

But allies and cars would also be nice...

You can't put a Story-Zone on level one and other on level 2 for example, the game crashes...

Yes around 50% slower I regret to have to say.


Quote: "Now all we need to know is when the next update is coming out."


Hopefull TGC will be in no hurry to release any further updates and will take whatever time is necessary reverse the current situation of significantly lower fps than V1 to a situation of significantly faster fps than V1 by about the same order of magnitude.

I would hope they will forget about any other improvemanets or additions until this is adressed and tested thouroughly.

I cannot imagine why they would have wished to release this update in the first place if they were aware of the situation with the lower frame rate and gameplay speeds of this Update. Its beyond my comprehension to be honest.

Nighthawk,

Sorry I am not privy to TGC plans for FPSC at all and have no idea.

All I can say is I dont think any game engine developer in general would be happy to have a product with such poor fps performance and gameplay speeds or seriously expect users to use the product and make any decent games with it. They needed the engine speeds to be faster not slower.

I dont think many will use FPSC if this situation is not reversed so I believe TGC will do so for everyones benefit both developer and user alike.

bdgbdg,
I would seriously doubt that TGC would include a cutscene maker in any FPSC update.
Due to the nature of cutscenes themselves they would almost have to be made outside of FPSC and imported into FPSC.
Uman,
Are you saying that when the upgrade is installed that FPSC is 50% SLOWER?
I already have speed issues.If FPSC slows down much more it is going to look like an fps slide show instead of an fps game.

RickV,

Thank you for the quick response which is much appreciated.

Its easily missed in simple test levels you wont notice any difference as the fps was always good.

It the large kinda finished levels which have a lot of content respond very badly.

Good news about the Serious Lagg issue in specific areas though which seems to be gone.

If we can get overall fps back up to acceptable gameplay speeds it will make a big difference to future game making with FPSC now that the SLI seems to be gone - hopefully for good.

Thanks again.

FredP,

Yes up to 50% slower and more. i.e. 26fps-32fps in V1 and 8fps steady in V.101

Read my posts and by others in the Bug Reports Forum. I made a sticky there.

Other users are getting the same results or worse and unistalling the update - Jiffy had 0 fps

Quite obviously it will vary user to user and dependant upon level complexity - there were other issues too like the player falling through the floor to a camera hieght of just above the ground and staying there so you could not move further through a level. That could be caused just by the very low fps affecting collison I dont know. I tested out another level and the player collision was not affected but the fps was around one third lower than in V1 - however the good news is that the serious lagg issue spots were gone to be replaced by a more genearl overall speed albeit lower than in V1.

Simple levels you wont notice much difference - but few finsihed games would not suffer a considerable loss of fps I would think.

Hope that helps.

I would be pleased and interested to know how the Update affects our particular levels if you are concerned about the fps.

How come the fps is capped at 33fps? Couldnt you up it to some thing more gameable, such as a nice 125fps?

Higgins,

I have suggested and asked TGC many times in the past to remove not only this fps cap but all imposed limits and restrictions and leave all such decision making to the level designer.

Apparently it seems it is not their policy to give users that kind of freedom with the product for reasons known only to TGC - they dont seem to agree that such matters should be left in the hands of users perhaps because it leaves the product open more to level design abuse and the problems that can throw back, but I'm only guessing, at least they have never removed any such restrictions or commented favourably - or at all.

I do believe they have their reasons though its all specalative on my part so is not worth a pinch of salt.

We can ask again here if you like that TGC remove the fps cap limit and give users the ability to set the max fps themselves as seen as appropriate to their own particular game requirement - but I am not sure that TGC would look favourably on the request.

And as I'm at it and in case TGC should forget - that would please include the Map Object Limit and AI Scipt Limits which are causing me havoc - scuse the pun.

If TGC do not like users to enter a very high fps which would cause problems or errors on other users systems, then why not have a max fps selector, such as having:

25
30
45
50

these would be in a drop down menu. This would stop any issues they may have with allowing too high of a fps. Iam not sure, but if some one set the fps to 10000, wouldnt the game run in slow motion?

Whatever the issues TGC are aware of them. They know about games and Game making just as we do. There are various factors involved to be fair.

I must presume TGC have their reasons for a cap and I can understand them perhaps but nevertheless dont understand why its set quite so low as they dont say specifically.

A starting cap of 33 does not give a user much leeway as fps drops off as they add content to their game - you can quickly get a drop off to unacceptably low fps gameplay speeds.

Of course if the cap were to be higher I am not sure that would help if the engine is so inefficient it cant handle higher fps and generate the sustaining of that. That may be enough reason in itself to make any removal or adjustment to the cap to a higher level of no use in actual gameplay. We dont know beacuse we have the current cap and cant test out anything different.

Anyway its all a non starter for 10 until TGC fix this V1.01 and bring the fps back up or it wont matter what the cap is set at I presume.

We need to be patient and wait some more and trust in TGC to do the right things even if we dont undertstand or are not given reasons for what they do.

The differences in ways that engines control fps and how they set them as time or frame based is a complex issue not really for endless debate here.

I play a lot of the free RTCW Mod, Enemy territory, so I understand how fps works, with at least the quake engine.

The only thing I can think of that TGC have capped the fps at 33, is that they dont want people producing a high end game. But that sounds silly, why make a cheap game creator if you dont want people to make good games?

@uman:

You and others who have made extensive levels should contact TGC to form a beta test team. Maybe there is already one in place, I don't know, but a few more people to test new updates couldn't hurt.

bond1,

I was a beta tester for V1.

In this instance TGC have not yet asked or invited anyone from these forums to beta test any Update as far as I am aware. I may be wrong.

They would surely have done so if that was their ploicy and they had a need.

TGC are aware I am sure that I would respond positively as I have done previously.

Pesronally however I do not feel it would be appropriate to approach TGC with such a suggestion.

Such matters are for TGC to decide if and when they indeed seek the help of FPSC users in testing any FPSC updates.

Last month when TGC announced only model packs and no update, some people here went berserk about continuing to add content to a program in need of fixes/updates. This month I think they fixed their PR problem by announcing an update to the program with more model packs, however after reading the immediate responses to the update, I am beginning to get a little discouraged myself.

I think the program is amazing for what what it does and have been very patiently awaiting an update. I personally don't think that an update is terribly overdue and I am perfectly willing to wait longer if need be. I Also realize that another one is in the works and hopefully not far behind.

Anyway, when I read the news letter my hopes were high and I immediately considered buying the new model pack. Everything seemed right with the world. Now I think I will hold off on the purchase and wait to see what comes next. At the moment it seems that we are back to more model packs and no updates.

Signed, slightly discouraged but not ready to give up.

xplosys,

Have you tried the new Update?

You may find it works OK for you - then again you might not.

I am sure your feedback at these forums on what the results are would be of help to TGC and maybe users too.

Yes, I tried it.

1) Completely uninstalled FPSC/removed FPSC directory.
2) Updated DirectX
3) Restarted system
4) Installed FPSC V1
5) Updated FPSC to V1.0.1
6) Restarted system

In order to keep things fair, I used the included SciFi game that comes with FPSC. FPS ran between 8 and 20 on average. FPS while standing still was normal (32/33), and while looking around FPS dropped dramatically. There were spurts of speed and time when FPS nearly stopped.

Regardless of any improvements or issues which may have been fixed, or new issues which may have arisen, this is not usable in it's present state. I'll just have to wait to see what they do with it.

Now I'M having some problems. Some of the models I've got (including, sadly, some of D13's works I recently got) show nothing but white, any time I TRY to use an alternate texture on a model it doesn't even take (some took before, but now I'm not able to adjust any of them), and the last two times I've tried to build, I get something about either the item not being in the program or an update on DX9 necessary. I've already updated my DX9 to make sure the second issue was taken care of, but like other users, I did notice a bit of a slowdown in the process; tasks that would have taken just a few seconds before now have me waiting for a good two or three minutes, and I'm on a comp that's less than a month old!

Not that I'm bashing the update, it's about time we got one of these...but in reality, these were issues that most of us either weren't aware of or didn't care about. I think the FPSC guys should have waited until they had a few needed things fixed first and made sure this didn't affect the program's performance before they released this one.

I think TGC rushed the release of the patch due to recent complaints.

But I belive the next update will be much better.

That's mainly what I mean--this update seemed a little rushed on all counts, as it didn't really have anything that was noticably wrong on most parts. A few complained about flak, but overall, I think this could have easily been combined with the second update that's coming.

Yeah I had never heard of any of these bugs either:

Quote: " * Scorch Decal bug fixed
* Save executable now keeps the entity textures that use built-in texture filenames
* Fixed flak bug
* Object DLL updated for FPSC fixes (U6.3)
* Fixed bug caused by window smashing changing scale of regular decal usage
* Fixed material system so it can now handle materials 11-99 properly
* Fixed culling bug caused when a door opens into another areabox and is culled too soon
"


Hopefully, the next update will fix more major bugs that everyone knows and cares about.

Hi

Thanks for the update. Too bad for the bugs. It's still a step in the right direction.

Can they program a "regulator" of sorts to address the fps issue? There must be a way to sample the frame rate and automatically adjust itself up and down to maintain a constant 30 fps. As content is added and the level grows, the engine could adjust itself to deal with the frame drop. That is a way they could address the problem without removing the 30fps cap. I don't know programing so I don't know if this would work. I thought I'd toss the idea out there and see what you think.

I hate non-programmers... hate hate hate, always have to translate the improvements.

In other words, the smart people who love making models with multiple textures now don't have to manually copy them over (If I read right)

Quote: "Object DLL updated for FPSC fixes (U6.3)"

IOW: FPSC now is fully uptodate with DBP giving it advantage due to whatever DBP has now.

Quote: "Fixed material system so it can now handle materials 11-99 properly "

I do not comprehend this exactally, but the material system, I believe, is something that defines the bulletdecals, sound made when walking, bullet hit sound, and stuff.

Quote: "Fixed culling bug caused when a door opens into another areabox and is culled too soon "

In other words, Attempted Speed Improvement.

I installed the patch.There was no speed improvement.As a matter of fact it was quite the opposite.
I had a variety of bugs when I tested and built different levels.
All of which worked fine before I installed the patch.
It took me eight hours to get FPSC back into the condition it was before I installed the patch.
The fact is that the patch in the state it is in does not work.

hence "attempted" but if you read umans post on the matter he claims that areas that once in massivly slow FPS are no longer slow.
