How many weapons are there in fps creator? It would be cool if it had about ten in each theme with the acception of extra model packs. Also, how many weapons can you hold in your inventory and can you limit it?

Thanks

Not sure of the exact amount right now, but it's quite a few - more than 10 I'm certain.

Don't think so. There is sniper mode.

From scratch you need several specific models of the guns that you then specify. I haven't tried it yet.

scifi: Did you copy(and made little adjustements)guns from existing games like Halo2, unreal tournament, ... or are they unique?

Some questions:

1.Will grenades be supported at all?
2.Can you make/import your own weapons?
3.And (I didn't get this clearly from DavidT's post) will most of the guns be standard things that you'd find in most video games?
4.Are there special guns that stand out and you wouldn't find in most video games?
5.With the weapons, is there/can you have recoil?
6.Can you have weapons with infinite ammunition?
7.Can you make the bullets have a special animation on contact with something? (ex. a little green bullet that wraps around the enemy on contact and squeezes them to death like a boa constrictor)

And some questions not related to weapons:

1.Will FPSC support cheat codes?
2.Can you jump?
3.Can you adjust the jumping strength/height?
4.Once exported as a standalone file, can there be mods and upgrade packs made to it?

That's a lot of questions, but Thanks!

1. Don't know, might be.

2. Yes.

3. Yes.

4. Not really. Just your usual fare.

5. Its already built into the weapon model.

6. Might be one of the settings, haven't looked.

7. I think that's a bit far fetched

1. Don't know, probably not.

2. Might be able, I think I've seen it in there.

3. Don't know.

4. No.

Thanks. And about the mods/upgrades, I could just edit the FPSC file a bit so it's "modded" or "upgraded" and give that out as a replacement.

David T - first I want to thank you a lot for the many questions you have been answering. It's really very cool of you to post and it's helpful (although you don't always give the answers I want to hear heh )

I wish other beta testers would chime in, but I respect that TGC may not even want this kind of dialog right now.

You probably can't answer much on this, but could you look at this thread and tell me if *any* of this seems plausable given the current build of FPSC you are working with:

Rob pretty much summed it up in that thread, which is why no-one else has added anything.

Ummm no I don't think Rob summed it up.

Quote: "Judging by Lee's diary the answer to most of those questions will be No for the Early Adopter release."


I've read through Lee's diary as well and I don't see where it answers or trumps ANY of what I asked. Also (and no offense to Rob), but I wanted someone who is using the program - Lee or a beta tester to chime in and not just some random conjecture... which I can do plenty of myself. Hence why I have asked... again.

Sorry Ian - I'm not trying to be a PITA. I'm trying to get a straight answer. If the answer is "no" then so be it, but I would like someone who is *using* the program and has access to the scripting system to weigh in. Thanks.

Gernades can be supported if you know how to program and if you know how to control the physics engine. First of all, you need to specify what object will be created let's say on keypress. I'm not familliar with the language that Dark Basic and FPSC uses, but they are mostly all the same. On key press event, let's say "A", obj_gernade is created. In the actions event of gernade, it is programmed to go forward at the creation event, and of course the physics are added to make it fly up and hit the ground. You then specify int he coding that when it goeson collision with anything solid, is changes into obj_blowup, which in that case will be the blow up "model", which can be invisible and will create particles to make it look like it blew up. Anything that goes on collision with those particles will lose health.

EDIT:

QUOTE:

That also relates to the particles. You create green particles, set the transparency at about 70%, and make obj_bullet create 50 of those particles around it every 0.2 seconds



EDIT: OPPS, sorry did nto read it. I thought you wanted particles to be coming out of the bullet, like a little fire effect to show how fast th ebullet goes. Sorry, my bad :p

If grenades are one of the weapon types, then won't this be pre built in and already scripted for you? You'd basically just have to assign the grenades a key to fire on.

I don't know whether Animecivil has used FPSC, but what he's suggesting can't be done at the moment. There isn't a physics engine yet

But can you atleast change certain properties of the weapon effects, like what if I wanted the mussel flash of my gun to be blue, is that possible? Or what if I want the grenades explosion to be green or something?

Guns arn't the problem, people are the problem, shoot all the people and guns arn't a problem anymore.

I *think* you may be able to change muzzle flash.
