After a lot of work in both FPSC and Torque, my mind has become a seesaw. For several weeks I have been checking back in these forums and I've found that I really miss this community. I know I stepped on some toes here and I sincerely apologize for that. I'm one of those people who always have too many irons in the fire to concentrate on one. I'm working on fixing that problem.

My last post about DarkFaction II was locked when I mentioned that I was going to create the game using the TGE. I wasn't my intention to leave an impression that I was not going to be using FPSC at all.

I made a highly customised level for the nvida compo and that's what I'm sharing here. I am going to make DFII in FPSC and in Torque. How? Well, it's simple. The Torqe version, DFII:Quest will be an adventure game that coincides with the FPS version made in FPSC.

Here's the level I made for the compo. The requirements are that you have a fast computer with a good card. I didn't hold anything back when making the level for the compo. For the actual game, I will continue to work on optimizing for all computer systems.

Thanks for looking.











Demo Link: 155MB
Download Here

This is just the compo level and lower-end machines will have some slow frame rates. The actual game levels will be optimized like the previous demo levels of DFII posted in earlier threads.

@Airslide: Great, please tell me it has high frame rates with your card. I think my 6200 is okay, but not great. I'm hoping it's all in the card at any rate.

@mastercheif: Thanks a lot. That's very nice of you.

Hmm...I think I got stuck down in the place you go after having the soda machine moved - a door opened but closed before I realized it

Also, my framerate is usually a constant 27-31, depending on if I'm moving (if I stand still it stays at 31)

Once you go down past the soda machine, just grab the key and go back up the ladder. That's a decent frame rate. Your card must be great, dude.

is Vista Home Premium, 2.66Ghz processor, and 8800 648mb GTX graphics card good enough?

Lol. I just HAD to brag about that. (It wasn't that fun mortgaging my house though to get it. lol.)

I'll test, and I will erase all this crap and edit my post with what I have to say.

PS-Im still up for helping you with textures-I FINALLY got Photoshop. You've not answered my e-mails...

What's with all the uber computers all of a sudden? The only notable things about my machine are the 2GB of Ram and the 512mb 7600

@DarkFact - I picked up a key? lol...I guess I wasn't paying attention. Too bad you packed it in FPS Pack, cause I can't get to my save now

We actually offer protection
fps pack pro only opens your game in the docs temp folder.

Vishnu also blocks windows, and now with the update thats coming out tomorrow if I'm nice, and Vista key functions like ctrl+alt and others to stop people from exiting the game to get to a temp folder.

We keep changing our directory and encryption with each update.

Vishnu checks for programs that are running that may aid in the cracking of the Vishnu software.

FPS Pack provides packaging. But no protection if you can use a search button.

Newest updates:

Vishnu 1.3(probably out tomorrow) provides packaging/one click on the icon loads game and its saves automatically/Back ground support for the load screen(meaning place an image in the folder named bg.jpg and it will replace the Vishnu logo with your games graphics)/Loads and saves with the current FPSC release(and in some test dbp games as well...but this is still in testing)/$10.95/ Vista and Windows security features.

Most of the things it dose we really don't discuss, as this is a true protection application set and no point compromising any security, and not just an outdated packaging application.(hehe)

Were almost 100% sure that Vishnu is only going to be on sale for this next week at it's original price of 10.95. A week from it's release it's going up. It's just doing much more then protection anymore.....and we actually update because our own media is at stake.

Heres the 1.2 site....I'll be updating before release.
http://s4projects.out-lawz.com
It's only one step now, and dose more, but still some info on that site.

FPS Pack had a long time name. And for a wile it was not just the best but the only thing out there. The demands of the community have changed and Pack didn't.

Vishnu had to made.

If you want a more personal review of it, ask Rolfy, or FredP, or Filya, or Tswartz about the 1.3 betas they have been testing in an email.

Thanks for even thinkin about the purchase Dave.

EDIT: We'll I'll be sure to get off the 1`.3 to you as soon as it's all confirmed.

Edit: Cool, v1.3 would be great.

@Keith: Thanks, bud. I hope I can get back up to speed around here. I've seen some REALLY impressive FPSC work here lately in regards to custom media.

Should be waiting on you. Remember that one is the packaging utility and the other is the player. We don't even have a 1.3 player posted yet, so if you remove this game and replace it tonight, the only people with a 1.3 player is you and some beta testers. A different encryption is used version to version for vishnu piracy...lol..Imagine that! So don't forget to place the player in the same folder as the encrypted zip and your bg.jpg(cause we know you'll use one). Even the player in rolfys new thread is outdated.


EDIT: Bahhh,Delivery Status Notification (Failure). Some email servers see this as a virus..Yahoos always dose...do you have AIM?

Okay loc. I'll just leave the link dead until the public update of the player.

It's waiting on me? Is there an email I'm looking for or did I miss a link in the PayPal email?

Guess I am a bit late for the reco, but Vishnu is a very secure packaging!!! I would surely trust any custom media of mine with this.

It's hard to see because of the lighting, but by what I can see, good job. I would put some drawers or something, or is that supposed to be just a night stand?

Yeah I'm having a hard time seeing it as well.

On a side note: Thanks for the banners here and on the load screen. Wasn't something we have ever asked of anyone, but we appreciate it all the same. Can't comment on the game as this comp can't run it. Just loaded it to make sure everything went OK for you.

Continued luck with your games

@Everyone: Yes, I guess it's too dark to see much. I guess what I asking is whether or not it jumped out at you as the Marble Topped chest (storageb) from the WW2 entities.

My thinking is that I can save some time by taking stock models and just re-texturing them. I'm not planning on doing this with many models, just a few.

@Loc, you're welcome dude. Thanks for all your help, too.

@filya: oh, I see. No problems.

@Inspire: I could paint in some handles, but the *plan* was to under-emphasis these models since they're stock. I'll probably do this method for prototyping the game and replace them with my own stuff later.

Did you texture that thing from scratch? Or just edit the stock texture, because whatever it is, it looks good.

Thanks, Inspire.

I loaded the model in Max, re-texured the top, main body, drawer fronts and legs with contrasting, yet similar wood textures. Then I baked-to-texture with a skylight/light-tracer using the existing UVW coordinates. I could take the resultant texture map and add drawer handles, scratches or whatever. This was a test to see what you guys thought about doing it this way.

I'm not sure why it's so dark. The screen grab is good, then it looks like bleck on here. Here's two pieces, the chest texture has been re-worked to match the desk (WW2 tablea).

very, very nice.
-----------------
I played the demo.
I never beat it, because when I showed up in the office, I found all these guns, and had nothing or no one to kill. I needed an activation key, but found one, which didn't work for either of the 2 doors that required it.
I temporarily forgot that I wasn't playing a commercial game, lol.
The textures are amazing! I especially liked the mech parts lying around. Ha ha.

Thanks Aaron,

Since that level was made for the compo, I made it as hard as I could. When you "showed up in the office", which one? The one by the rotating logo? Did you shoot out the blast window?

The background is 1024x768. Does the size come up different in your editor??
