Hi,

I\'ve come up with a game idea in which the first couple of levels are set in a prison. I\'ve been working on \"C-wing\" and have come up with this: (pic attached).

I\'ve been using the demo version of FPSC and have only had it for about 36 hours. Therefore, these next few questions may be very n00bish:
1) Is it possible to change to health and lives text/box to something a little more stylish? If so, how?

2) How do i change my default health and lives values to (health)100 and (lives)3?

So back to the prison, C&C?

Yea they are very noobish, but anyway.

1) Yea, absolutly. You can edit everything. You can add and remove values, you can add or remove hud images. I never downloaded any FPSC Trial, i always had the full. i dont know if it's possible in the trial.

2) Right-Click on the player start marker in the editor.

As to question 1- no. these settings are in the builg game exec. menu, which isnt available in the trial. youll have to buy FPSC for custom settings and such (at least for most options.)

I was wondering if you could help me with this level since you have already started it and all.

Origin, i hear what you're saying but since this is still a WIP, i don't think i really need shaders and lightmapping.

And as for Wheel Gator, what help do you need? I was inspired to build a prison by watching "The Shaw-shank redemption". Most of the film is set in a prison from the late 40's to the mid 60's. Its a pretty stereotypical prison so that should help but here are some tips from me:
1) Make the prison "wing" long and thin
2) Make the rooms as small as possible
3) Everything in the wing must be dull
4) Cells have windows, use the small ones in the ww2 scenery library.
5) Try to make everything symetrical

UPDATE: I've been working on the rest of the prison and in perticular the exercise yard. I tried to make the surround building just as dark and dull as the wing (pic attached).

N00ish question no3:
How do you change the background sky?

C&C?

It's stiskied in the "FPSC Product Chat" forum.

I ALWAYS have flame proof jacket...just in case...and a shotgun. If you want any, just ask!
