Nice work so far.

Just some suggestions

- There is no snow to see on the top of screen 1. I'd re-arrange or add some snow decals.
- The ceiling has obviously the same texture as the ground, which means there are little stones and grass on the ceiling. That looks a bit strange to me.
- I'd reduce the seize of screenshots so they load quicker

Keep it up

Thanks to all for your support and D0MINIK I will try do that as fast as I can.
Oh and did anyone had the time to play my very short demo?
EDIT:About the ceiling,the bunker is under ground so I thought it wouldn't matter but I will see what I can do.

I made a screenshot of the room imported it into Adobe Photoshop made a picture,then made a story zone in Fpsc and under visual tab added the picture.For the screamer scene showed below I imported the photoshoped picture into Windows Movie Maker and made a 1 sec video showing the screamer.That way the player doesn't have to click to continue.

That picture looks like it came from S.T.A.L.K.E.R, and you would probably be infringing some sort of copyright to use it in your game.

As a slight tip for the "screamer" idea, make the monster picture into a HUD, and have it flash up on screen using a timer to hide it after a second, and play a noise when it starts.

My experience with videos in FPSC is that they cause a few seconds freeze before they play, because they are loaded when triggered and not during level build. Using the HUD idea would stop this.

Played the lil demo. Pretty nice.

However, i noticed that you must have had full shaders on, because the doors were messed up. Fix that, and you are good to go.

Don't worry I will only use a screamer scene once or twice through the whole game.

Quote: "However, i noticed that you must have had full shaders on, because the doors were messed up."

Will do that.

Quote: "Can I ask why it is a bloodsucker for STALKER? "

I used the Krovosos from here http://www.fps-files.com/index.php?site=files&file=550 and it's writen that it could be used for non-commercial use only.Since my game will be non-commercial I think I can use it.If not that's ok,I will just remove it from the game.Thanks for your concern.

Your work is very very inspiring to me! Did you make the models yourself? Im a modeler with MAX and Zbrush, and I'm trying to ask around and see what tips people can give as far as polycount and what not....

if you would be so kind, I'd like to ask you a few questions if you have the time...

you can check out my modeling work here:

http://www.youtube.com/Screenwriter805

I'm working on my first game, and I have some questions you may be able to answer... the link to the forum post is here..

http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=151499&b=24

please post if you can! I'd GREATLY APPRECIATE IT!

and if you need a model or something I would be willing to help, though you obviously don't need any help, as your work is awesome already!!!

Just played through the level.. I can only say that I am very eager to make my own game and would gladly accept any advice you may have as far as design.. did the lights automatically render that way, or did you have to do some scripting? That was awesome, especially for a Beta.

robocrap your modeling work very good I'm impressed.I will sure need some help (who doesn't ) so I will keep in mind that you can help me,no doubt.If you need any tip's and advice about level design just ask me and I will answer.Maybe you could make some kind of a monster/mutant or some corpses because that would come in handy .
Just stay tuned because there are new pictures comming soon.

Thats easy,if you just want to create a simple costume room you can use Firma and make a room out of your textetures.
If you want to create a more complex segment you can use the program below it also includes lots of tutorials.

thanks! This is whole new territory for me.. what is Firma? I hate the segment kit.. but I've not used it yet.. though I may as well give that a try.. but I'm interested in this firma you speak of..

here's a question.. how did you make yrou level? Did you custom build the assets and rooms? It looks fantastic!



UPDATE.. found the FIRMA.. im intrigued..

Hey,

Prepare yourself for C&C...

1. Why is that white things there?
2. Make the light ray dynamic give it a coloff sciprt. Set physics off and set it as imobile.
3. Maybe you cold make it a colder atmosphere with playing with the ambienceredbluegreen, or making a semi-transparant hud. Maybe a blue-grey-semi-tranparant-hud. It would be alot better IMO.
4. Nice to see the place is not overhelmed with thousends of crappy entitys. But some more "entities with a reason" would be good. [if you know what i mean]
5. Screamers arent my favo, but one or two times is cool. [do at the good point of the game]
6. At the first screen you made a a six meter pit. And outside there is snow, right? Maybe the first segment, [the upper sement, hope you understand] should be a bit with a icy texture, and then go over into the rocky texture.
7. The Story is nice, a bit short, but good.
8. One thing i dont like in games is: A rocky floor/wall. But it is just a 2D texture, and because of that it looks unrealistic. Maybe putting some 3D stones [i repeat "only a couple" (the 2D texture must be visable)] would be better.

- I didnt play it yet. No time.

PS: If something come up in mind i will post it.

Hope I helped,

Red Eye

You know what would make that scene even better? Add a couple trees lining the rim of the hole, to make it look like a forest.

Like this.

Can you save the crew of LV21?

To get rid of the white, don't use GIMP or Paint.net to change the BMP to JPG, use MS Paint. It does it perfectly...

Looks absolutely epic! Your doin a great job here bud

Maybe add some more entities to make the rooms feel less, well you know, empty? Just makes it more fun to explore when there's detail

GL with this, looks great so far!

All the best

Hey Zay333 !

You have some spelling mistakes. "Gfängnis" is wrong. It is called "Gefängnis". And instead of "Essenzimmer" you have to write "Esszimmer"

PS: Very nice screens

Oh,thanks _sYn_

Quote: " Maybe add some more entities to make the rooms feel less, well you know, empty? "

Wait what?...I don't get your logic.Isn't it so that if you put less things in the room feels more empty?

In other news,I've finished the first level and I'm now testing the whole thing for any bugs.There are some neat features about this level such as:
-Reading soldiers diary's
-Exploring the whole level,not just once
-Solving puzzle's

Oh and don't expect a update for the next 8 day's because I'm going on holiday's early

Open the gun model in a modeling program, and delete the scope?

Theres a HUD_NOSCOPE.x model in the gamecore/guns/ww2/mas36,just rename the HUD.x to HUD_BACKUP.x and rename the HUD_NOSCOPE.x to HUD.x and thats it.
