Thanks so much! I'm looking forward to seeing how many of you play the game after release.

Here's something I'd like to add at this point: I never intended to take FPSC and re-do everything like models and textures so that it doesn't look like it was made in FPSC. I WANT it to be known by look that it was made in FPSC. I really want to see future versions of this software and I hope that by making a full length game, even with its current limitations, that interest can be sparked around the world that will prompt TGC to keep working on this drag/drop/draw approach to game making.

I only created and added my own entities when it was absolutely necessary.

***Free Game***

I need 3 people from around the world to do a test for DarkFaction's activation software.

The first three people that email me and are willing to do the test within 24 hours will receive the full release version for free.

If you're interested, send me an email.

Either click on the "Get Request Code" button or go to Start>Darkfaction Beta 8 Act-Test>Request Code Generator.

After you enter your email and click "submit", an email is automatically sent to me.

If this is not working, then there's the problem. Make sure you have administrator privleges on your computer or the activation system will fail.

Okay, must be your computer/email setup or ISP issues with SMTP. This will happen from time to time. So, generate the request code and email it to me. I'll email back the activation code.

EDIT: What is the last message displayed in the status box when you request the code?

Okay. Must be something as I stated before. Just email me that code and I'll send you the activation code to continue the test.

BTW, you should delete your last post. Your jpg has your private info.

I sent the missing ocx to you guys. Let me know if it fixes it for you. Sorry, but I didn't think about that.

EDIT: Also, you have to give darkfaction.exe and df-request.exe outbound access if you have strict Firewall settings.

Thank God the answer to that is: NO

I have local testers that aren't having the issues. But they all have the ocx on their computers already since they have Visual Basic installed. That's why I missed that ocx. The rest of the ocx and dll files are already in the installer.

I've re-worked the activation code so it works with any config. You don't have to request OR wait for an activation code now.

Thanks for the help. Send me an email and tell me if you want the Beta release via download so you can be in the credits as a tester or just a CD-ROM when it's complete. If you want the CD, make sure your full physical address is included in the email.

Right. I removed the auto-email code so that's no longer an issue. I just sent you an email.

Everyone who helped, whether the app worked on their computer or not, will get the full version on CD, the beta version via download and credited as a Tester.

Thanks for all the help!

MaxRealms, Congrat! You're the man! It's AWESOME the project!

But, the game has one thing i don't understand, :S

Take a Look At this:

http://www.darkfaction.net/shots/8.jpg

http://www.darkfaction.net/uploads/photos/18.jpg

The game has got Weapons of the 2ยบ World War, and Weapons of Future?

I don't understand that :S But ok, maybe it's from the game!

PS: Why my posts don't post when i click in the "Post Message"? Only posts in a few minutes? why? Because i'm new?

When you downloaded, you didn't get the full file. The issue is with my server (hosted in California).

Use the http links I sent in the last email. The server is still buggy right now. If you don't get the full 456MBs, then the server chopped the download.

Since I don't know why the host is having issues, I can't tell you when the server will be good again. I can tell you that this host is very good about fixing server connection issues within a few hours, though.

You won't find it if you search for importer. It's an exporter.

$23?

Dark Faction sounds great, but $23? I don't know. It's a lot of levels, yes, but how long does it take to complete?

It depends on how easily you can figure out the the "puzzle" parts of the game and how long you spend checking out each level.

On average, it takes most people around 3-5 days to complete at a few hours per day.

DarkFaction isn't a simple game thrown together in a few weeks. I've worked every day since February to create this game. Giving the limitations of the engine itself, I've tried to create the most "commercial quality" game possible.

Since you can't save an FPSC game internally, I chopped up the game into Missions. Each mission is a separate game divided into around 4 levels. When you "save" the game, you're saving your progess of the missions.

It's 40 levels long, so if you've completed 4 missions on day 1, you can save and exit. When you start back on day 2, load the save file and pick up where you left off. This is the only way to "save" until FPSC has an internal save system.

My original idea was that of an "alternate time-line". So, when jotting down the story-line, I decided that I would change history post WWII. In a nutshell, Germany won the war and occupy the US.

So, that and the fact that the base version of FPSC only has WWII and Sci-Fi entities, (The 2 model packs weren't available yet) I worked with what was available. A month or two after I had started working on DarkFaction, TCG released the two model packs and I incorporated them into the game later.
