12 Questions i need to ask before i buy FPSCreator

Okay so i have downloaded the trial version of FPS Creator and was totally blown away by it. But i want to find out if certain things are possible in it before i buy it so could someone please answer any of the questions by giving the question number and the answer. Thanks in advance

1) Can you change the normal movement speed of the character? Without pressing the run button cos he moves far to slowely for my liking.

2) Can you have clear glass windows that go into the floor or celing to see upwards or down? Kinda like a greenhouse or nice roof to see the sky through. Also would be nice to have the option of looking up and down in air vents like in MGS.

3) Can you make the maps bigger?

4) Why is the AI so stupid? I was playing the WW2 demo that comes from the trial and most of the time the bad guys walk into walls and just stand there while i shoot them without firing back and when they do they are sooooo slow to react to me its unbeleivable.

5) Why do some bodies disappear and others stay? I would like them to remain and for blood to splatter when you keep shotting them, is this possible??

6) Is there a nice normal indoor theme package? If say i wanted to re create my house for example

7) Can you use saves instead of checkpoints?

8) If i buy this product will a better version be brought out in a months time and render this one obselete by the company??

9) Why dont barrels actually explode?? You know with like fire

10) How can i make videos for my game? Like somethnig for beginners i can use to make a video file for the game to play. BTW im not asking how you get them to play in the game but how do people actually make them thereselves

11) Could someone please explain to me all the latest patches or updates i should be aware of

12) Could i have a friendly entity open a door for me without the need for me to write the script for it??

Again thankyou to anyone that spends thier time answering my questions

1. Yes, you can change the player speed, but the sound becomes an issue (not matching the movement). Make sure you have enough computer to run the program (and them some more).
2. Yes
3. No, but remember that the map has 25 levels up and down.
4. The AI is generic, for lack of a better term. Through scripting, you can make it much better and matched for your game.
5. This option is in the script assigned to the characters AI Main.
6. I don't know of any home themes, but you will find a wealth of segments and home articles here on the forum.
7. The save and load function allows hotkey saves or clicking through the menu. The checkpoints are for allowing the player to return to a recent place in the game should he die.
8. To the best of my knowledge, TGC plans to continue to upgrade this version for some time. I know of no other product set to take it's place.
9. Again, this is for you to configure in the editor and scripting.
10. There are a number of options/programs here. A search for movies will bring up some info.
11. The latest update is V1.03 and you can find that info on the TGC Downloads page.
And last but certainly not least.......
12. No, you must tell them what to do or they wander around stupidly (as you already know).

Welcome to the forums and the wonderful (painful) world of game making.

Best.

Don't even hesitate to buy FPSC. it is possibly a better invention than the computer itself. There is many downsides but with a good knowledge of scripting you can make the game good. Frame rates is an issue though

For the save-game thing, TGC have released a patch that allows you to save anywhere. Also, Butterfingers Sensai A.I should fix the A.I problem.
