I decided to try and make a boss level.

I wanted to push FPSC a little. Make it do something big and grand. I started off making this HUGE monument type level that came out of a colliseum. When I finished mapping I was still hitting 32fps, so I thought I'd just add one enemy to the level and hope the FPS stayed High.

That one enemy is a 30 foot Demon called Parsus.

I've been workin on him for the last 6 hours, and this is how it's going. He's fully animated, and his gun will shoot with muzzleflash at the player. he can also swipe attack (his fist is the size of a car).

Although the texture is all but finished (want to add some details) it'll be a while before he's in game, I have to get him to export propperly (having some issues), then after that get a custom script going.
I'm pretty proud of this guy, spent a very long time modelling and UV mapping.

I'll be giving the level and character away free when I'm done, as an example.

Comments and Crit welcome.

oh and PS, he's only waist up as here appears over the edge of a wall, so you can't see his legs anyway!

Screenies

1.The level so far...


2.PARSUS. One big pose and a bunch of others. (Hope you like the weapon....lets call it the "jaws of death"...!)

um one problem... ive tried big charachters and they dont seem to work too well. FPSC has trouble with anything over 1 layer in hieght, so he may not work.

set his health to 1 and give yourself a gun with unlimited ammo- it will take about 1000 shots to actually recognise a hit.

Ive thought of one way to do it!

you could have a 1X1X1 transparent cube and place it in the head or whatever.

then put a destroy script for the big boss to be destroyed!

i think this may be the only solution.

Hey tyrano, thanks for the info, I was already aware of the issue you're pointing out. I think this problem is more to do with how you export the model, than with FPSC itself.

If you scale a model to 1000x it's size, it has real problems with hit detection, but my giant defense gun (2 segments) was modelled at 200 units, and has no trouble with hit detection.

I'm kinda using something similar to your suggestion, and having it so you have to destroy a floating invisible entity overlapping his head (representing his weakpoint).

Screwed over, cheers man, and yeah his face is a bit because I kinda wanted him to look... I don't know... like a tortured golem? Kinda like those cursed souls in greek mythology...

Butter Fingers that is truly different,I wonder if the headshot idea would work with the other stock characters,it would be ideal to be able to attach one entity to another in fpsc,maybe someday,you could have something there.
As tyrano said problems can occur with very large entities but since you have modeled the demon to scale it will work.

Reminds me of the ps2 game Collosus (I think that was what it was called) which was superb.

yer theres only one problem with having this for every entity, is that you need double the models to be rendered; and it will have to be dynamic to follow the same path as the charachter.

Butters Fingers,

great model, will make for a major boss to defeat in your games!
As for the gun/weapon, I would have maybe modeled it differently since it still looks a bit too modern to fit with the mythological theme.
How about wielding a massive rod / trident with the jaw structure on top that fires lighting bolts instead?
Other than that it is magnificent!
Cheers,

Caleb

Butter fingers, concerning fps. What kind of entities are you using for your map? I have a pillars entity (Greek style) which is really low poly,you could scale it in the editor to suit,or I could scale it in Max to whatever proportions you like.Let me know if you want it.
You can see it in the vid I posted of the creature,there are sixteen of these in map + character,still hovers around 31-32fps.
