OK guys This thread is a wish list. Post what you would like to see in the next update of FPSC. I'll start it off with my requests.

1) Add A new trigger zone that allows the creator to call on mulitple objects under one trigger zone.

2) Add feature to randomly spawn based off of trigger zone area.

3) Add feature for building up to 8 maps under one Multiplayer build.

4) Enable dynamic objsects in Multiplayer games.

5) Add feature for creator to pick characters for multiplayer without setting them in the editor.

6) Allow for serperate spawn locations to be selected, much like a triggerzone. the current way has you spawn where character is placed in the editor.

7) Add support for new model packs to be used at start of game in mulitplayer, if this is capable please let me know how as all of the characters that I have characters that I have selected start with WWII weapons as opposed to the p9 or mp5 weapons I equiped them with.

8) Add capture the flag and team work to MP.

Lee, I know these have been asked to be added for a very long time, and you are probably tired of hearing about them. I think that these will take FPSC to that next level. IF it would not be to much to ask though i think it is a huge request.

The ability to run MP from a mysql server constantly. Won where people people load the exe from their computers and the server does all of the work as far as media loading and and storing of information.

Regards,
RF

Most of my requests are with scripting as that is what I'm into right now

1. Add a condition for which gun you have selected, something like PLRUSINGGUN=tavor

2. Allow the user to specify how the player switches to a different weapon, whether by pressing a certain key or whether it's done with a script.

3. Add a command to switch the player's gun such as SWITCHGUNTO=tavor.

4. command to run a certain weapon animation on the gun selected.

5. Particle system? hope hope hope...

1) Just name 'em all the same thing, unless your talking about spawning them at diffrent times

4) First off, go to File->Preferences, switch to singleplayer, put whatever you want to be dynamic set to dynamic, change the script to whatever, then go back and switch to multiplayer. Keep in mind - script status is not sent between users, so something like Bond's camera would be intact (and even run the destroy script, without destroying) because it doesn't have gameplay impact, but something like a mine or so may be more of a problem (more noticable that there is a problem). As for physical objects, you want those, you're asking for lag!

Other than that, I'd love all the features you've listed. I still think an easy-to-implant RATE OF FIRE for weapons would be simple enough and have a HUGE impact on gameplay!

I would like FPSC to delete the temporary files it creates when you run a testgame... It's easy enough to do it manually I know, but I'm lazy.

1. The ability to remove items from the Library. I included something in a game which then became corrupt, the item was still in the library but the object didn’t exists anymore so every time I try to test the game an error comes up about a non-existing object and FPSC crashes.

* Hopefully this will be done in RC6*

2. Better manipulation of sound distance. Placing a steam decal in a room also puts a steam sound with it, but you can still hear it 5 rooms away! Perhaps the ability to specify a sound range, like when placing marker lights.
3. Non biped organic models. Ok, this not related to FPSC bug fixes but I’d like to see creature type model packs, like those from Doom or Half Life. Also normal animals, like cows, dogs, rabbits, birds...
4. Saving build data when saving map. If you change your game through the ‘File > Build Game’ menu (changing fog levels, ambience levels, skybox, etc) it doesn’t save that data when saving your game, this means every game you’ve made, you need to change all those setting back to how they were by hand.
5. Gravity. Especially on things like ammo. Stack two boxes one on top of the other, then put ammo on top of them, play the game and push the boxes out of the way, the ammo stays in the air.
6. Light leakage. Lighting can leak through walls and levels, light should be stopped by opaque solid objects (like walls and floors!)

Here is what i would like to see in the next update:

- speed up the game!!!!! :-| (i think we need a FAST fpsc. There is a lot of solutions like a change resolution option, details level, etc.)

Maybe i'm wrong but we know us FPS games wont be the most beautifull, or inventive 'cause we use the same tool which is limited... so -at least- these games must be fast and able to run on old configurations!!
For example my new laptop is dual-core with a GeForce and 1Gb; and i get a lot of slow downs (even with the last RC) whereas DoomIII, Quake IV and Call Of Duty are much faster with better graphics.
I know FPSC is a 50£ app but it would be fantastic to have fast fps on all computers!!!?

I also know this point is the most requested all around the forum but i really want this problem ('cause its a problem) to be solved...

Are you thinking the same thoughts as me?(secondary weapon attacks, silencers etc.)

Alright Lee my turn to sit on your lap and read my christmas list:
1. Scripting function to stop animations.
2. Scripting function to detect which angle of a dynamic entities' cone angle the player is spotted in.
Also I have a question, on my computer, when I run FPSC and then use other applications, like switching to itunes the mouse goes snail speed, so when I go to FPSC and go to file ->exit, but I don't click yes, i just leave the dialog open, the mouse speed returns to normal.

Any how, thanks for keeping up with the cotton candy requests and have a good christmas.

As anyone who knows me or has been here more than a month already knows, my only request is melee.

IE a melee weapon set.

isflak = 1
would become
ismelee = 1

So melee weapons could be incorporated without any bullet hole work-arounds etc.
It would be nice to have melee in the engine even though its an FPS because sometimes your ammo runs out.
Knives, clubs, and even bare hands can be used to obtain a better weapon.
I think melee would help make the games more combat realistic.

I think things are definately moving along at a brisk pace pace now (certainly much better than last year). Many of the problems people have had are being addressed; or have been fixed. Personally, there are a few large items that keep me from making a viable game for distribution:

- The excessive file size of the finished product.

- As mentioned before, the excessive loading times (lightmapper).

- Frame-rate issues; there are workarounds, and tweaking to do. But it would be much better to reach some of the standards of many of todays games (over 100fps), and would allow more time to be spent in creating levels, without worrying about the final product slowing down to a halt on all but the highest spec computer.


Those are really the Big 3 for me. There are other issues, but they are more of a problem to be dealt with by the individual developer; and the bugs that are popping up seem to be on a priority list now.

As I've said before, I'm no programmer; but FPSCreator (in it's evolving state) is still one of the best solutions to someone like me (as a one-man team) to create a finished product....even if I actually have to learn a bit of scripting.

I'm looking forward to what FPSC X10 can do, over and above the obvious graphics enhancements. I'd like to see the WIP boards when that baby's released.

It appears that DarkLights will be integrated in the next release for free! So that may knock my list of 3 down to 2!

A bounding box system. Specifically for enabling head-shots.

Sorry for the juvenile request. But I really, really miss head-shots.

Alright, this is something I can explain. You see, 100 fps ain't easy to acheive. Of course, my computer sucks, but that's besides the point. In order to get a really, really good framerate, much of FPSC would have to be re-written. Most DBP games that run better do so mainly because they can be optimized to exlude anything the developer doesn't want. FPSC is another story. It is checking constantly for a whole slew of variables and such that a normal DBP game doesn't usually bother with, but this is because of the customization system is outside the EXE. Honestly, I'd much rather see a timing system (speed things up with low framerate, slow down with high framerate) rather than a higher FPS period. This way 20 wouldn't be so bad.

Try this:
I don't see why everyone wants the file sizes to go down?
You can just compress it?

I am pretty sure you can spell words like see,why,etc.
This ain't text messaging and that will get on everybody's nerves really quick.
As far as your question goes...even if you compress (sometimes multiple times) an FPSC game,even a small one,the file sizes can be huge.
Even one level alone can be over 100 MB.
If someone is working on a large project (and I happen to be doing just that) a game could go over a gigabyte.
It will be hard to get people to download and play your game when it is that big...heck,it can be hard to get people to download and play your demos at this point.
I won't even get into whay happens to the poor folks who still use dial-up...
In order for people who make FPSC games to compete with people who make games using other engines TGC will eventually have to find some way to make the file sizes smaller.

I would also like to complement everyone on adding nonsense to their requests because they want to hide their true intentions. Everyone KNOWS what you are gonna do, don't shroud it with usless information.

Those are BUGS you don't need new FEATURES

Quote: "Add A new trigger zone that allows the creator to call on mulitple objects under one trigger zone

First one looks like simple nonsense... If anything, you are just asking for more input fields in the ifused value. But you can just name everything the same... OR if you are looking for a WORKING :anywithinzone:activateall... it just isn't "finished" in the source.

Second, looks like more nonsense. Why not just say what you REALLY want. For characters NOT to spawn at their default location and to spawn at a select location


The ability to run MP from a mysql server constantly. Won where people people load the exe from their computers and the server does all of the work as far as media loading and and storing of information

If you fear speaking for yourself, make use the words of others while discovering your own voice.

The thing is I do not want characters spawning from a select location-that's what they do now. I want them to spawn based on a random calculation depending on the trigger zone area instead of how you place them.

What is your deal? I remember when you were a valuable memb er of these forums. now you just seem to be a bitter person with nothing good to say at all. This not a personal attack but come one man, relax a bit.

1)More intense gameplay( scripts that make the bad guys do more instead of just jumping from side to side)

2)Fix the bug that disables u from using model pack 5 when there are enemys on the map!...please

3)I would like a button that u would press to enable melee with the gun(beat down)

If any of these requests are have a solution please let me know on any of my forums!
