I have been working on a cave pack, which will allow you to build huge caves for your games. It has every thing you need to make a complex cave, rooms, tunnels, corners, junctions etc.

The pack will be released when I finish the props, which will include train tracks and carts, mining tools etc.

For now, here are some screenshots of the cave system.















I need Dark AI before I can use FPSC X9.

Great looking pack! Man this can be used in all sorts of settings. It could make some nice medeval dungeons, or mining settings for current day or even some offworld mining type deal for a scifi theme! I'm looking forward to seeing this done.

Those look great, but the only thing I can really say is that, well something is off with the texture ... it strains the eye a bit I guess.

Can't wait for the release.

We all want to be awesome, but does awesome want to be us?

It wont be free, as I need to make money for college. But when it's finished, it will be worth the price. It will cost around $15.

Sweeet! Nice job and certainly useful for many different game types. If it's got enough content, it should sell well.

Best.

I'm sorry, my answers are limited. You must ask the right question.

Once you pay . I'm not sure when it will be released yet, I'm still working on it.

@darimc

I think there will be about 20-30 things.

Those are good looking stalagtites and stalagmites. As far as the textures straining the eyes, all you need to do is add some nice light with Dark Lights.

Can you put up some torches or something and give it some "mood lighting" Higgins?

Either that or put the lantern on a small crate by a wall or something. That would also show off the shadows and give it a nice "mood".

Very nice work, Will you be able to change some of the texture segments to maybe add some gold veins to the walls? And can some walls be destructible? looking forward to the release.

I will make some ore rocks so that you can add them to the walls. The walls aren't really meant to be destoryed.

That's exactly what I was talking about (although I'd add an additional light to the front side of the lantern, so it lights up). Lighting like that makes 100% improvement, and should really help sell it.

There is a problem, characters get stuck and start walking on the spot inside the caves. I've tried different collision modes and mesh types, but nothing works.

The player can walk around inside the caves fine though.

Keith, I'm using collision mode 1, which is polygonal right?. I have tried the other numbers, but then I get stuck.

Nickydude, they are, the hud doesn't get captured for some reason.

Tanya, about $15 and about the release date, I'm not sure.

@Keith

So I guess I'm stuck then. I'm using collision mode 1 on all of the objects and the characters get stuck. I'm not sure how to fix it.

FPSC doesn't seem to have the greatest collision detection around (like grenades falling through buildings, etc.); maybe someone else can shed light on your problem.

Super looking work Higgins

I have the same problems with my road segments with the enemy getting stuck on the floor and not moving from the spot that they are placed in. I don't think this is a collision issue (polygon is OK) but something to do with the 'segment visibility & segment blueprint' values in the 'FPS' file. Unfortunatly I have still had no luck in finding the best values to enter to get rid of this problem.

I wish you all the best of luck with this Pack.

Ps...if you discover the correct values for the things above could you please let us all know which would help a lot.

The caves and it's props are all entities. So you have to use the B key to lock them to the grid, so you can attach them correctly.

@Higgins Maybe trying the Cave as segments might help with the collision issues you having, might be a worth looking into it and see if it helps also would help with fps as well.

I have fixed the problem by removing the cave floors. I will be adding a floor segment to be placed under the cave entities.

Again this is the null space problem,even if you create a 3x3 segment it will only have proper collision with enemies at the centre of the model,I found that by placing additional floor segments underneath the model and around the segment centre collision worked fine.
It does work fine for me using 1x3 segments though.
Null space was introduced to prevent enemies walking of platforms and ledges.

Use the < > keys to lower or higher the brightness.

Right now I am editing the cave segments so every thing lines up correctly. When that is done, I will work on some props and it should be ready for release after that.
