I am currently working on update BIM with RPG code. However, I have run into an issue that has to do with a couple of plugins I used with RPGmod. The plugins are STYX and Unity. I have licenses for them but it's impossible to activate them because the website TGC used to activate these plugins no longer exists. There actually two other plugins I had also purchased to use. So these plug-ins are not activated to run with DBPro. I haven't found any information yet that can be used to allow DBPro to use them. For example, I use "SPLIT$" from STYX which is way easier to use than "SPLIT STRING" in the matrix16. Although granted matrix by Iam is more powerful.
THEORY - you know everything but nothing works. PRACTICE - when everything works but don't know why.
For me, theory and practice are combined: nothing works and I don't know why.

Good job guys!

Flatlander, good to see you still around. I will check this out as soon as I get time, unsure why I returned to the FPSC scene (mostly because I revamped InterFPSC into the Game Launcher Creator) but I have a request. Can you code in so users can write out to a text file upon level-end trigger?

I slightly recall we tried this with RPGMod (and was successful) I believe, or at least you already had the 'write out to text file' done. Would be good for me to test as I can write up a 'joiner' application so people can block build and then link a series of executables to possibly write an 'unlimited level' game with FPSC including a storyboard.

Cheers,
Danny

Sting, this is absolutely amazing. I haven't come to the forums after my last post here; until now and low and behold somebody posted today. I wouldn't have considered trying to work with DBPro if you hadn't. I had not been able to get my code to compile with DBPro so I will take another fresh look at it. Yes, I do have code where you can write out a text file anytime you want in the game. Maybe, I'll concentrate just on that instead of the whole ball of wax.

Flatlander, I'm more than willing to help out where I can. I'm a little bit tied up at the moment with projects, but some are nearing to a close and I can make some time (albeit on a small scale for now).

The ability to stream to a file is a feature that would enhance game-flow and would probably boost morale for some more devs to complete game developments with FPSC and BIM. Good to see you still around dude.

THere already a command in black ice mod to do this already called passtosetup example:- ,plrwithinzone=1:passtosetup=levelcompleted 1

Might want to check the chapter launcher by xplosys that uses this.

Hello guys, I use a body in my game, and I found a command, which crashes my game.
The game crash occurred before loading of second game level.
"bindentitytocam=0" - this is command, which leads to the game crash. This command links the body to the player camera. I think, it needs a command, which deactivates the "bindentitytocam" and will unlink the body from the player camera before the first level ends, but I haven’t found one in list of BlackIceMod...

**NEW RELEASE**

Black Ice Mod v10.6 update is now uploaded with the following:

- Fixed memory code to give correct usage
- Fixed memory leaks for loading and saving games
- Fixed global hud commands being overwritten
- Fixed lightmapper code (uses BIMlightmapper)
- Fixes to dual wielding code
- Added support for skybox shaders
- Added vishnu studio v1.0.4

- S4real has done his magic again and solved many of the memory issues in FPSC. When testing and building games you will now get an accurate reading on memory usage and no more leaks when saving and loading games.
- We have added some code to prevent global huds getting overwritten and fixes to the lightmapping and dual wielding code
- We have added support for skybox shaders and included an example shader which allows you to instantly change the skybox colour using RBG values

- Finally we are celebrating the release of vishnu studio which I recommend everyone tries and included this in FPSC tools

Hello guys! Thanks for your great work!

But ... the new lightmapper is very bad... I attached my screenshot.

I still have the problem with a body. I tested my new build and i got this error message - "Runtime Error 118 - Array does not exist or array subscript out of bounds at line 46440"

Hey guys,

As you probably know I don't use use FPSC anymore... too frustrating! LOL But I'm still around and I want you to know that I appreciate you guys sticking with the mod. If not for you, I think this place really would be empty. BIM is the reason there are still a few dedicated and talented users here and the engine is usable. Thanks for all you do. I'm still working on my 2d project and it keeps me busy, but coming here makes a nice break.

@ololo_11 I've tested the body on many levels and not getting the crash, so I'm thinking it could be the way you setting it up.

Make sure there no script at all in the destroy section and make sure your body 2 script is in the main section.

Check the body demo in black ice mod.

Let us know how you get on

Hello guys!

@Nomad Soul Thank you for the lightmapper fix!

@s4real I tested builds with standart mod maps. I used "playerbody" ,"meleedemo" ,"physicalshaders", "movinglights" ,"skyscroll" maps for testing.

I set the "playerbody" map for a first level. I getting the error if i use "meleedemo" ,"physicalshaders", "skyscroll", maps for a second level.

But i don`t getting the error if i use the "movinglights" map for a second level.

I checked my builds on another computer and I got the same error.

@ololo_11 You have set the player body for all the maps you using or you will get the crash.

Make sure to add the playbody to everymap in your levels.

Quote: "Beta 10.6"


Nice Job !
I read forum since 2010... I was working with previous versions and, well FPSC wasn't great at that time. It is good that someone is working on this programm to make it useful.

Now Im working on very simple game with custom stylized graphics (Hexen, Blood, Quake era style) for time to time. I should fit in 1 GB memory per one game level (if i choose FPSC).

Back in time I had done few AAA game test with BiM, and I had a huge fps drop. Optimized textures and models didin't help. Also I had problem with simple code.
I only did two small game builds (one simple level). I had no issues. Issues only reveal sometimes in test game.

Quote: "
- Fixed memory code to give correct usage
- Fixed memory leaks for loading and saving games"


I know that FPSC is not a good option for ANY AAA title, and I do not expect anything big, especially since you're doing a great job for all users, but I would like to know if is FPSC stable with BiM ? I would like also to know if is there any issue with memory after final build ? Can I make with this modification professional stable (playable) free or even commercial game ? Do I have to do magic tricks to compile the game correctly ?
( I read a thread where there is a opinion about that topic, however I prefer to post this question here)

https://forum.thegamecreators.com/thread/223515

:: OFFTOPIC::
BTW it would be great if there was such a topic on the forum in which such comprehensive knowledge on the correct use of FPSC would be included. What you can do and what you can not do ect. , especially because people are slowly disappearing (I have a lot of topics on the disk as an archive in the event of a catastrophe) :: OFFTOPIC::



Im not good in programming but I experienced other commercial engines. I don't want to even compare them to FPSC, but honestly vanilla FPSC is very bugy. It is main reason why I puted off FPSC... however I would like to turn back to this software, because is fair enough quick and simple for creating by one person a FPS game and of course because it is Black Ice Mod.

P.S

Is there chance to change size of hardcoded "numeric fonts" ?
I manage to use size of 16 -19 px and this is max. Scaling by the command of HUDGLOBAL makes them huge

Quote: " I would like to know if is FPSC stable with BiM ?"

I am running win10 and an older video card and can tell you BIM is very stable at this point. The newest updates have brought mem usage even
further down by 10-20% You just have to find the right "Compatibility Settings" for all BIM exe's then it's rock solid.

Quote: " change size of hardcoded "numeric fonts"

Do you mean the ones for lives & health, or something else like a text hud? The command hudsize=x let you set the font size much larger.
I've had the font size over 32 with no problems.

@ Nomad or S4Real Quick question, an NPC's Vweap can not have a shader applied to it, is that correct? Only a player weapon HUD can have a shader.
It's be awhile since I tried for a Vweap and looks like I'm not able to.

I mainly wanted to display digits from the "numeric" file.

Quote: " The command hudsize=x let you set the font size much larger.
I've had the font size over 32 with no problems."


I wanted to use quite large characters with a size of 128x128 pixels, and yes, I just used this command, the result was that the signs began to overlap. So I set the file with numbers to 64x64 pixels, but the characters were still overlapping. I tried larger values (in hudsizex) than 16, e.g. 24, 64, with my own files, as well as with the default ones. After that I returned to the default value of 16. I read about it on the forum in older posts, where it was explained that the "hudsizex" command is hardcoded. I was hoping that something changed in the higher versions like 1.20 or BiM. Or that someone has found a way to get around this without having to add numbers individually as 'pictures'

I have no way of knowing if this is a BIM issue.
I just did a fresh install of everything: FPSC, v1.2 update, BIM 10.6 and 10.7 update and having trouble with lights that won't go away. They remove in the editor, but not in test game.
I've ran the cleaner, cleaned my tmp files, deleted everything in the testmap folder, restarted FPSC and the computer after all the cleaning multiple times, but the lights continue to show up.
So.... I created a new level with a room and 2 lights. Test runs with 2 lights.
Then I delete one light in the editor. When I test, still 2 lights.

EDIT: See this link to the general post concerning this issue in case it happens to you.

Per s4real, I renamed the lightmapper (essentailly taking it out of the loop) and ran with the old one, which took care of my issue.

@ Kuryle I did some testing and was able to increase the hudtext & font size to over 80 with no problems ( pic attached )
In the picture my hudfont and numeric numbers were set to 84 ( getting way too big ) The X & Y needs adjusting, but it is working
For my numeric numbers I used the internal variable "hudtype=6"

Nomad & S4Real Thank you After several tests the lightmapper appears to work great. Builds also seems much smaller now.
Is anyone else seeing this ? My test builds are almost 30-40% smaller now. That's great!

Does this new update add in the ability for one to put a video on the menus like the game Alpha Project or Project Blue/Green? I have Project Green, but I can't find an older version of FPS Creator (version 1.15- version 1.17) and my current version doesn't work. Also, I did make an animated menu for one of my games, but that was with snapshots (video attached) and I have figured out how to make a splash screen (but that lasts only for a few seconds.) I should mention that this is on FPS Creator Version 1.20 without Black Ice installed. I haven't built a game with Black Ice and tried it yet, but I was simply wondering if putting a video on the menu was an option or not.

Quote: "the ability for one to put a video on the menus"

Yes, just use the command backdropvideo=x. Try and use a smaller size .avi resolution and it will play smoothly.
If it gets to large of a resolution video will start to "stutter". You'll know when you get to that point

Yes it does. Its an older "stock" command. No mods needed. Been around for awhile now
Look into the syntax list for additional commands related to video.
My games never have bugs. They just develop random features..
Lots and lots of random features...

Sorry to double post but I tried to put the command in my game but it just went to the main menu, no video. In the attached file I deleted the menu image but that didn't go anything either. This is being tested on a game made off of FPS Creator version 1.15 if that might have something to do with it. (the menu that is attached IS a working FPI, I just copied it as a notepad note for the sake of this post. Video is also attached (made with the recording tool in FPS Creator x10). I will edit this post if I either figure out what's wrong or if this works on version 1.20.

Have you tried renaming m.avi to M.avi?

@ TMoney Moterbike If renaming doesn't work try this.... move your video file into the gamecore\backdrops\*NAME OF YOUR GAME FOLDER*
That's the folder where your games backdrop images are stored. If I recall a video also has to reside in that folder
Also try renaming it to .wmv I just checked my older games with backdrop videos and I used .wmv files, not .avi's

OK thanks. I'll try both of those out. Actually as a kind of update I did get the video to somewhat work but I can't actually click on anything and it worked on a loading screen too but the game wouldn't load. SO I am making progress but I will try your guy's ideas.

I haven't been able to install FPSC V1. I'm also having issues with the DBPro. This is the reason why you haven't heard from me regarding updating BIM. It had been frustrating, to say the least. The error message I receive trying to install FPSC is

An installation support file could not be installed
Catastrophic failure.

I have not been able to identify which file that would be, and, with DBPro I'm having issues with a couple of plugins that I use for RPG Mod. So, there you go.
THEORY - you know everything but nothing works. PRACTICE - when everything works but don't know why.
For me, theory and practice are combined: nothing works and I don't know why.
