OMG thank you so much Shadow Blade! I’ve been looking every where for those kinds of models! I’m so glad you told me about those.
I see what your saying about the story line. In my head I know the story line full out. But for a player, it might be confusing. So i thank you so much for your help. That saved me a lot a grief from players. So thanks a bunch again! Is there anything your confused about that i could add to the story line description? So that every one that reads it is fully satisfied.

Ill be sure to put your name in the game for your help! Thanks again Shadow Blade!

GAME PLAY UPDATE:

Ok so ive changed the start of the game a little bit. Ive made it so when you're at the main menu and you press new game, the loading screen is a picture of a scroll with writing on it. And the writing is the "Prologue" of the game. It tells the story of Xavis life as a boy and when the evil Redrias attacked. And when the game starts, its a cut scene of him as a child and seeing his house burning and his parents dieing, And then you wake up in a sweat at the inn. Then you walk out of the room and you can walk around the Inn. Oh yeah the inn is called "The Four Corners Inn"

What do you think? Questions? Comments? Suggestions?

No problem mate, I can't wait for this to be finished, I'll BETA test if you want...

About the story you need something that sounds good, as in it grabs your player's attection write it like a very, very short book something like a blurb...

(Here is yours) When Xavi was a little kid, the evil Redrias storm his home town and killed every one a every thing. Due to the hate towards the Redrias, Xavi seeks a combat trainer and trains for10 years to try and get back at the Redrias.

(Mine (feel free to use this one)) In the land of [insert land name here] the most feared warrior of all the land, Redrias accompanied by his mercenaries roamed pillaging villages and taking their gold and valuables for his own greedy needs. One day he came the town of [insert town name here] home to young peaceful child named Xavi he lived with his mother and father, he had many friends in the village.

Redrias stormed each house taking all the money and valuables then burned the house to the ground. When he came to Xavi’s house his father drew a sword and tried to fight him off, he fought bravely but was not trained so was quickly killed. Crying Xavi ran as fast he could into the forest near the village as he heard the cries of his mother as she was slaughtered, he escaped but only just.

Later he came back to the ruins of his Home town, there was nothing left, everyone was dead, and he was the only survivor. He searched the ruins for his father’s body then buried it; over his grave he swore an oath, to become the best fighter in the land, to hunt Redrais and not stop until he was lying in a pool of his own blood.

Xavi found a trainer, he trained hard for 10 years, he become one of the worlds finest swordsmen, now he decided it was time to hunt and kill Redrias, he asked around in inns about the location of Redrias but didn’t find much, however Redrias heard of Xavi and went into hiding, so now Xavi must find as much as he can about the location of Redrias before being able to kill him, so this is where his quest begins…

Hope you like it, I spent quite a while on it, you can use it if you like, what I was saying is you should use more detail like this, obviously you need to change the [insert name here] bits but after that I think it’s a pretty good story. If you want to use it you don’t have to give credit but it would be nice (

Hope you found that useful, and let me know if you want me to BETA test. Looking forward to seeing more screens.

EDIT
I only just saw the post saying about the prolouge thing, I guess now my story is a tad useless, anyway you can use it if you want, I could do it on a scroll as well if want me to...

Wow! That story was amazing man. I love it alot. Im really considering making that the final story line. I appreciate it sooooo much! Thank you!!

Oh and thanks for the weapons! im going to check them out now!

-Perdition

Thanks dude. It means alot. Im not making this game so much for myself. Its meant to bring some variety to FPSC. I really hope I wont let anyone down.


ATTENTION ALL READERS!

GAME UPDATE:

I have now started on a new level of the game. Im going to add some screen shots in a while. So I can finalize it. Let me tell you about it.
Once you have left The Four Corners In, you enter a small road outlined by trees and rock formations. This road will eventually take you to a small castle. Along the road you will encounter your first battle against a small creature (just to get you started). Upon killing the creature it triggers a few more to come out of the trees/bushes/ground(environment) and you have to fight your way through.
Now keep in mind its not finished yet and it might take until tomorrow to finish it, but keep looking at this thread just to make sure of an early post.

If any one knows where i can get some foliage, like bushes and plants, to kind of fill the scene a little bit please let me know. Im always willing to pay!

Looks good, but ouch! the texture on the sword looks really unrealistic, looks like the one Darimc made, he gave me the texture, I'll see what I can knock up for you. Looking forward to the demo.

I know, its kinda BLAN but it works for right now. If its ok with you Bobert, id like to change the texture on the sword. I would still give you all the credit of course.

Any thing you can find Shadow Balde will be great. I really liked the sword thread you gave me. I downloaded it but i didnt work. I really wished i could of used that one.

Did you get the axe and the other weapons?

I made the attached yesterday, it's a retexture of that sword you using in the screenshot, I have full right to post this because it does not contain anything from the original texture, it was completley made by me. Apply this to the sword and show me how it looks, hope it comes useful. Texture in DDS format attached.

Ok what you need to do is make a back up of the origanal texture, cut and paste, name it something like sowrd backup but remeber it's orignal name, now paste mine into the sword's system folder in the files/gamecore/guns/.ect (i can't tell you the exact place as I don't have the sword, though you should be able to find it yourself) now rename mine to the exact name of the file you made a backup of example sword_D2.dds if you don't get the exact name it won't work. Sorry if you already knew all that, so in the shart answer make a backup then replace, glad you want to use my texture Good luck with it and I looking forward to seeing it in game.

Ok so this is what i did. I copied the original DDS file, re named it, and moved it to a different place. I then moved your DDS file into the file where the other DDs file was and renamed it to the original DDS file. Is that right!? Because I tested it and it didnt work. So is there anything im doing wrong?

Ok so the first three levels are about 99% done!!! Im still working on small touches for the 2nd and 3rd levels so those should be done within about one or two hours. But the first is totally finished !! Im gonna pull and all nighter tonight to try and start and finish the 4th and 5th level. If things goes as fast as this, the game demo will be out in about a 4 more days!

But right now i have a few problems.
If any one could help me with this, i really need to turn down the rate of fire on the pitcrawler. Because when you get close enough to him to use your sword, he kills you in about two seconds. Ive tried making the rate of fire much slower by the making the number higher on the editing screen (right click on entity)
But that only makes the R.O.F. for the long distance gun slower. I need to lower the R.O.F. for the close range attack. Any one know how to do this? Ive opened up all the scripts for the Pitcrawler and looked for the rate of fire number but, no luck.

Shadow Blade
I need your help on the re-texturing of the sword. Ive done everything that you told me to do, but its still the same texture. Any advice?

OH YEAH!! new screen shots are on there way now!

A tip(s)-

Some of the textures look 'washed out'
and its called the edit button.

I know, some of them are alittle bit washed out. Im woking on finding new ones for them. But do you think you can tell me which ones you think look pritty bad? So that way i know which ones other people are seeing besides me.


Quote: "and its called the edit button."

HAHAHA i didnt know if it was called that or something else! My bad!


-Shadow blade,

Ok open the gunspec.txt file and scroll down until you find the texrured line underneath gun visuals, the name of that file is the one you need to replace. If a message comes up saying it can't open the gunspec choose the choose program from list option and choose notepad, hope that helped.

New screenies look good

Try that. Or if that don't work replace every texture file in the folder (apart from the hud)

Save the .dds that Shadow Blade posted as sword.png. Make sure you name the original as something else though.
Attached is a texture that could be a little clearer, but other than that, it looks pretty good.

OK so ive found out how to re-do the texture. I went into paint and edited the PNG image and then saved it. I then went in FPSC and noticed that it worked. So Shadow Blade, if you can convert your DDS texture to a PNG it would work! Ill Attach an image of what i did in a minute.
