Hi guys,

I have finished a map I was working on for a while but unfortunately the lighting didn't end up the way I had planend it. Its meant to be set on an oil rig at dusk but when I compiled the game many times it keeps adding a different skybox texture to the background and makes the ambient lighting normal instead of dark.

Anyhoo here is the story of the still under construction oil rig:

This map is an oil rig that has begun construction on the coast of africa. It has been rumoured that the fortunes of many men in this part of the world lay underneath the surface of the earth, not above. What they seek isn't gold or diamonds, but a much stranger coloured, hidden treasure in the region that no one can resist saying no to buying...oil.

Unfortunately the oil rig has been over run during early construction and rival militant groups in the area have taken cnotrol of it. However not all of them are friendly ot each other or happy about sharing the oil that lies beneath with anyone but themselves. The frag limit on this match is 20 kills and is a 5 player.

Here is the link to the youtube video I made with Fps Creator X10.

[href] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5doB0X_OBUs[/href]

As you can see in the attached pic, some of the effect is lost due to the problem that I cannot fix the lighting in the game as it looks too open. Ah well what can ya do?

Download it at http://www.techville.co.uk to try it out.

Thanks,

Hazzman

cheers crusader i was wondering using only what X10 has at present what other senario could be generated it took a few weeks then it dawned on me as theres the water effect and lotsa pipes and girders why not an oil rig as thats all it is really lol Pity the lighting didn;t turn out right woulda looked so much better.

Hey krwosnest, cheers, long time no type I remember you saying you might be gettin X10 how come not got it yet? Or are ya still workin on gaems for the X9 version?

I might make another one in X9 as I can create my own media using that fps magic to make posters and stuff to make it more realistic. And have model packs up to 6 till see what I can do am makin some additions to my website first including an xbox live clan called BFS and some more music for people here to include in there games as background music ingame and for menu music so should have some more content on my site shortly.

Hope yas like the level way it turned out tho and cheers for the comments

Hazzman,

I saw the video on youtube and it looks awesome!
Did you use any model packs? I'd download it, but I don't really like techville.co.uk... sorry...

Nice Job.

Thanks lol I know what you mean about Techville.co.uk its not greatest site in the world it kinda sucks at the mo . Hopefully one day when I have time I will design it from the ground up. I used a free website template to create the layout for it at the mo hence why it isn;t very xciting .

I am working on an Xbox Live Clan section at the mo if yer into Xbox 360 games it might get you more interested here is the link if you wanna check it out.

http://www.techville.co.uk/xbox360.htm

Cheers for the comments, yeah I used model packs 1, 2 and 3. They mainly contain the barrells and pipes etc but nto many gun add ons like fps creator X9 has. I have up to model pack 6 in that creator.

If one day the other 3 map packs I purchased become available in X10 then I have some even better ideas for levels, but until then I have to make do with what I got.

Lata dude all the best

Videos look pretty sweet and I went to your website and was gonna download the game but then I was like, hmm, I am restricted how much I download/upload ect. each month(live out in the boooonies pretty much) so I figured I would ask something real fast before hand, how many of you guys play those maps and (please believe me I have searched and the only thing I can find on the matter is no chipsets at all) I was wondering if it x10 would still work with my vid card which is an ATI Radeon HD 3200 integrated which has over 3200 megs of mem. Please believe that I am not trying to just "noob question" it but i have HONESTLY searched high and low to find out if there are any updates at all on integrated video cards, if its a go, heck yeah dude I am downloading it and playing the crap out of your map, and will buy x10 version(currently using x9 and loving it so far)if not, keep up the great work and keep your visions going through FPSC Hazzman..everything looks great!

Hey, The Rickster,

Your video card should work with X10, but not sure. The requirements for X10 are NVIDIA stuff, but I know that certain types of ATI cards should work as well. Actually, your card is HD, over 3200 meg, and is a Radeon, so it should work, but like I said, still not sure, look it up on a search engine or contact the Game Creators themselves for help.

Hope that helps.

Hey Hazzman,

I noticed in your screenshot at the top of the page that your mp40 has the same problem mine has (if you even notice it). There's like an arched line with the point facing forward right above the clip. With my mp40, whenever I turn really fast, the line gets worse and when I stop turning, it stops getting worse but still stays. It just drives me crazy!! It didn't do that in FPSC X9, but they didn't change the mp40, so I don't really get it.

Yeah, I have to agree. Lots of X10 users take a little too much advantage of the bloom effects. It makes it too bright and funny looking, I mean, I don't know, it just drives me nuts!

At The Rickster,

That's really odd how it came up to 30-40 megabytes because the video on youtube seemed pretty small (medium in actual size, small in size like storage). You should ask Hazzman why it's that why (although he hasn't posted in such a long time). It sure can't be your own system specs (no duh, I don't see why your system specs would affect something like that). Hazzman should know. Hope that helps...

P.S. I'm hosting a tankfest contest in the Models/Media section of the forums and the thread is called Tankfest Minicontest. Judges needed!

I agree with Ocho Geek. Changing the reflection and colour of the water would make your game look a whole bunch better, but might make it slower. Good idea. I have a question: Can you like go inside the building on the oil rig? It would be really cool.

hey guys been away for a few days but am back yeah you can go in the room PW so you can I had it very detailed the map but since the background wont change and the lighting wont work the way I wanted it to it looks kinda empty when you go in there are just a few boxes scattered around the place inside.

My original level when everything started to slow down I had to take it down, you could go into the room and go up the stairs into likea control room and you could walk up a staircase to a crane made of the girders in the model packs but it started to lag really bad the frame rate down to like 50 with amount of stuff I had in it.

When it was dark when ingame testing it looks amazin but unfortunately again X10 has somehow stopped me from doing what I want it drives me nuts lol

I think I might stick with using the X9 creator everything in test game looks exactly the way it does when the game is built.

Oh yeah the bloom I hate it too when theres too much I tried playing a 1 player game I downloaded from one of the guys on here and it gimme a sore head after about 5 mins lol far to bright and bloom musta been whacked up to full it was nuts.Just a hint of bloom I use about 5-10 to make lights etc have a glow around them and thats me for the bloom

Don't think it's your card... FPSC X10 runs kinda slow on my machine even when I make the graphics absolutely horrific and my machine's specs are:
-9300 GeForce NVIDIA Graphics Card
-Super fast home premium Windows Vista
-Tons of space

My specs make the recommendations for FPSC X10 look so unbelievably wimpy. I think it's just some sorta thing that's wrong with FPSC X10. Also, if you ever do get FPSC X10, don't get update 1.08! There's a few really annoying problems like you can't aim at a neutral even through walls. Like, it'll point your gun down and you can't shoot even when you're looking at a wall that's facing a neutral. Also, I think TGC tried to make the gun animations more realistic by making a gun lag like in a COD game. But whenever you aim up/down, the gun refreshes real slow. I had to reinstall just to get rid of the update.

Can't you get DX10 as a download for free? Cause I thought you could, but maybe not.

Sounds like a great game but cant do X10 on my grafx card Radeon HD 3650 cause Vista dont support the card after the update(sp1) so I switched back to XP. So to the guy with video card issues... Vista only shows it as a standard card and wont run it properly.

I heard of X10 for XP... anyone know about this so I can play this game???

There is a way to get X10 onto XP, even if you did that, it probably still wouldn't work...
