Hey All,

I've had FPS for a-long time now and have only just been messing around with it to see what sort of potential it has for my own little project. After learning the ropes before jumping into a full project, I’m now able to actually jump in and start my project up.

It's called Behind Cover

My first 2 screens are a (Prototype) map. Models and textures are not final. I have already been working on high res models and textures for this map (the first). I plan on using all my own models which I've mostly nearly all done. Just these are very quick mock-ups of the map layout.

Changes made to FPS itself (My own stuff)

1. New WW2 weapons with Hands.
2. To use all own models.
3. New HUD
4. New MP objectives
5. High Quality sounds (explosions ect)
6. Triggered Depth charges ect.
7. Range of maps following: The Beach Landings, Operation Market Garden, Liberation of Caen.

8. To give players a sense of OUTDOORS.

The Map Name: The Black Sands
Objective: British (Day) / SAS (Night) to reach the top. Nazi to eliminate all opposite team.

Cheers Shadow. I'm having a-bit of difficulty with texturing quality. My cliff map is 1024 x 512 but as you can see in the screens FPS isnt producing that high quality. Does it only support upto 512?

Heres the Pre CU - 3ds max Render. Thats the quality I want.

FPSC even supports 2048x2048.

But it has to be like:

512x512,
1024x1024,
2048x2048,
4096x4096. (dont know if that resolution works)

And even still it looks like FPSC is messing with the textures
just a little.
But not that it comes out all blury or ugly.

Thanks for all your comments.

@cheese cacke. I'll have a resize of the cliff texture to 1024x1024 and see if that solves the problem. I've checked the UV map but no problems there (as you can see on the render)

Will post results. 20mins.

If it isnt that then i think you should try this:

Cut the cliffs in pieces, (which you can easily put together in
FPSC)

Export every single peace as a different X.file.

And apply the texture on every piece separately.


And also in my opinion 2048x2048 shows better results.
(but dont save in TGA, because they are HUGE with filesize.)

hey cheese cake.

They are in seperate pieaces, thats why i didnt understand why FPS was doing that. Anyway half way through on a new resized texture hopefully be another 5mins.

Yeah i know TGA usualy saves arround 8mb on 2048x2048

New updated Cliff texture. At the moment there on 1024. Also i've remodeled it a-bit. Looks better gonna start working on the new sand texture and then some custom objects (landing crafts, dead soldiers, tank traps (X's and tank teeth). Razor wire.

Would be nice for X10. The bloom effec is what this game needs. It would give it a sense of light and the water would be awsome. Have some Higgins Boats flipped over and corpses on the ground. It would look pretty cool but If you want a D-Day D-Day, them you're going to have to have body parts everywhere and blood spotted sand and all that good stuff. Looks very nice! And my grandfather served in WW2 so he could tell me all about it fo rme to tell to you. He was a Frontline soldier who was specialized in mechanics and shipment transport and he had to shoot a people a time or two. His carrier and the whole feild around him got bombed one time and he almost died but he jumped in his foxhole with his buddy and they survived.

Looking down upon the beach. The texture quality is a bit dull on the bunker at the moment. Also plans to cover the bunker in some posters and a chair or two inside with loads of ammo crates. I will be revealing the back to the bunkers. Little clue "Trenches" .

Wow! Nice models and textures! I think the skybox needs some wok and is the water one big decal or what? X10 could help with this and apparently X10 MP games designed with FPSC but built with X10 can run on both types of comps!

Add texture scaling to -1 in the FPE and the textures will come back full res, otherwise they are reduced to 512X512 in the engine.

TATBS 1.8 is now fully functional. Brilodis is having its districts extracted to Battle City. Krina and Karin are twice the size. And you’ll see 5 times as many breeds of monsters... It’s Kalspher V3.

@ tyrano man. Is that in the Optinal Visuals (Reduce Texture Field) ? as it's set to 0. I've set it to -1 but no luck.

All I have in the file is:


What do I change?

Thanks

Good news. I found out it's the texture. FPS dosn't seem to like the texture. I've redone it on a 1024x1024.

Heres the Texture map (Original TGA reduced do to upload size)



Here it is ingame

I think FPS is sensitive to using normals and specualar with TGA format. So i'm going to try the DDS format and see what happens.

My theory was right ....It's completly dark outside except in this bunker. Working normal and specular mapping. A-bit bright at the moment but i'm working on a smaller light level.

This map becomes a challenge at dark. Especialy running up the beach.

Nice Job!

Make the lamp dynamic or surround it by 4 lights used for the scene lightening in order to get a better look of the lightsource itself!

One possible workaround would be making it a character without moving and with limited turning around, combined with far range sniping ability. you could put such a script together from parts of other scripts.

However, we made a giant mothership shooting at enemies by making it a dynamic entity with a special script, I will ask the coder for it and post it here.

Hey all. Cheers for the comments.

I'm working on the trenches at the back of the bunkers at the moment. There hopefully will be an update tonight although I got my interview with sony tomorrow so got to sort out all my portfolio.

Dude, your screenshots are too freakin' big. I'm running 1280 x 1024 and I still have to scroll.

EDIT:

Yes, I know about the toggle function, but I wouldn't be able to see the screenshots, then, would I?

Sorry inspire, bit of a bad habbit posting big screens. I'll use imageshacks thumbnails option.

Testing out the trenches now. Few texture stretchings but reworking and then post a new screen.

EDIT ->

Heres a WIP in the trench system. These run from the back of the bunkers to the HQ pit. Not much of a maze. I plan on lighting the trenches with lamps on boxes and suspended on shovels or rifles.

Enjoy

Why not make the MG 42 a weapon like in COD? Then give it out for free! JK about the last part but really why not make it a weapon? you could hip fire them in RL if not with some difficulty. BTW an MG 42 turret is currently impossible in MP FPSC right now or SP for that matter.
