Here is the manual for Automatic, it is attached. I'll spare you the words and let y'all read the thing.

And yes, a level with all guns in it will be released for the fun of playing with guns in video games (and may that long continue).

Enjoy.

No offence but it really doesn't say much... Also, you shouldn't be thinking about a manual until you finish the game... not when you've finished half a level.

Haven't seen AE in a while! What's up, man?

@AI, lookin' great! Can't wait to see more screens. You're a pretty good level designer. I'm sure everyone would admit that.

Hungry for more screens? Well, here's something to dull that hunger. It's a section of the beginning of a two-part level set in a bunker. The character has the "Grenadier" weapon set: M4 and M4/M203.

Enjoy.

SCREENS DO NOT SHOW FINAL PRODUCT QUALITY (meaning these screens aren't final

I see a couple of walls, two barrels(the same ones), a light, and another light on the ceiling.

Come on.

You are soo much better than this. Pipes, boxes, more barrels, rubbish on the ground, all of this can be brought in.

The new screen doesn't look that great but I'm sure it will improve. Is level 1 finished?

Not yet.

FPSC fails when I added in any object to the other one, so...guess what?! Fortunately, this'll survive (I hope). I really want to get a demo out, though, but with a 6-7 hours school day, there's not enough time.

You have one messed up computer. But I would suggest cranking out some progress or your going to have some unhappy fans.

I warmly recommend you to buy an external hard drive. That way you don't have to burn your back ups to small 700mb CD:s. (or pretty small DVD:s) Instead of that, you can make all the copys to a huge 500-1000gb hard drive.

I've been making a level, it has 13 different saves... : / Start backing stuff up.


As for the screen? Well, it's pretty poor i'd say, for all the reasons above.

I'm on build 124 for a single level

Try to do something original in areas, not just the same room with the same objects and the same lighting. Spice it up.

AI, you can do better than that. I have the same, but I manage to stay up until ten to get some stupid Oblivion mod finished? That is no excuse.

I LOVE Oblivion. 360 version though, so no mods for me

C'mon AI, get that first level done.

I personally don't like how the pillars go all the way up, they should just be under the gantry....

It also looks like you have alot of empty wall space to the left, try adding vents or something.....

Just a bump and a progress update.

Automatic us going at a snail's pace, but with the installation of Firma and Entity Workshop, I began making a few signs and carpeted segments for the office complex (the stairwell will lead to a backroom of the offices). Expect screens later in the week.

Until then,
~Mike

Sorry for double post.

Here is the side room, I'll get working on the offices tomorrow. Also, anyone know of an old-ish PC moniter model sitting around? There's one in the TGCS, but I don't have any points for there yet.

I made a monitor once, but it had a whole in the middle so I could use an animated decal as a screen.

Don't know if I stil have the mesh...

AI, we expect more screenies. It's winter break, so you should have PLENTY of time to get at least two screenshots.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Anyone wishing to flame me for what I am about to do, please stop reading after the skull icon. Thank you very much.




You know when you go to sleep, you wonder what the next day will bring you? It may bring happiness or sadness. This (points at this thread) is sadness. The game is pitiful, IMHO. Why? It's a recollection of my former self. It is what it is; not much and too many (progress & posts, respectively). I think I might've jumped into this game creation thing too early; only one demo released (which has been vaporware for a long time) and NO FINISHED GAMES. None, zero.

And I apologize for that. If it will soothe your angered nerves, I will personally ask the mods for a 2-day ban to get away from this. Automatic will continue, but as a very short (3-7 level) game. From there, I will work my way up. It was the first game I made, and I intend to keep it that way. A 2-day ban + a clean wipeout of my showcase history - if possible - will be sufficient. I don't care if not many have completed a game; I've started too much, and as Deathead put it:
Quote: "...too many chances..."

And I utterly agree. It's all coming to me.

Goodbye for now,
~Mike

Hello AI,
I don't think I have posted here yet. I have checked your screens and can see good progress in your designs.
A lot of people here are very serious about the forum, I wouldn't worry about comments too much. Ban or not, still enjoy your time here.

I suggest you enjoy your christmas, and make notes about your game and levels to do, in your free time (Even grab some ideas from previous levels from your earlier games). Then get your fav beats on and go to town building. Games can take time, We have been working on Kenji for 12 months and Level 1 is still not official. Have fun with it A.I. I will be looking forward to reading about your progress later on.

Oh, if you run into any problems, build around it. Change your design. Restructure your ideas to suit a new level design.
Have a good 1 Mike.

My recoomendation? Play lots of games, or lots of varieties. Try and get an idea of how the developers guide you on a journey...

Of course, at the same time, you should sit back and relax, lol...

And when you come back, have something concrete for us to play. Don't return claiming to be back on track with 1 new screen. Build it by yourself and only post here when you have a good chunk completed... It's been said many times, but mabye this time it'll sink in.

Have a good christmas.

hey guys, can someone help me just a bit? I am initiating with fpscreator and for a 3 days I still get a bug at my first room:

Maybe I didn't understand how to work with lights, ambience light, static and dynamic but the little problem is:

I want to build a room with a light and a swith.... just it!
The problem i got every time I try is:

sometimes my room isn't dark
sometimes my room is dark but the switch didn't turn on the light...

I am following the tutorials, they are very simple, so I didn't understand what is happening....

Another question is: the build settings is for ALL maps that I will make? because doesn't matter which map I open in fpscreator the build settings of ambience lighting is always the same...

thanks!
