@ seppgirty Ok, options here... first remodel & texture most of the cars (can do, takes time..think of it as a challenge) or, find a similar pack and buy it
Quick fix is to buy a pack, but where? Will look around tonight.

Ok, after a quick look it seems doable. Need your help. Find me some free to use low poly cars, trucks and other stuff
and I'll quickly throw it together. Being a junkyard it's only a matter of twisting the mesh and a simple re-texture
My games never have bugs. They just develop random features..

Here are the images.

@ncmako Are the NightCityDocs pack vehicles doable for this?

Btw since STALKER is a (very) popular Slavic game. along with FPSC being widely used in the Russian Community, so the models may have been converted into .X files. In fact I saw some post there where they imported various weapons from Counter Strike and STALKER into FPSC as experiments (it was written that they were meant only for showcase) upon further investigation.

EDIT.........................................................
It was jz's car pack and it's in over all models folder. I'll look for more. Also there is sitters models. http://md2.sitters-electronics.nl/

@seppgirty & @ncmako I would like to introduce a part of reviewing each other's versions of levels where we specifically state two things - how does it's gameplay fare wrt to the previous FPSC games (which I would dub bad for most) and wrt recent indie titles (if you have played any).

And btw we could open our own Discord chat group.

@ seppgirty I really dont remember anything like "cars" from Rolfy But I'll check around.
Now the Dark Matter I do remember, it had some good stuff. Yep, already took some of JZ's stuff
and worked on them. Just need to find a license for use to be sure.
Now "Sitters Models" is a great site, thanks for that one. Incredible stuff. Looking for a user license,
is there one? Can't find it.

I would like to propose a an FAQ questionnaire by the designer and the other players will respond to the FAQ and will traverse through the levels thoroughly to find bugs and glitches and will provide a detailed review of the flow pacing and overall design and environments of the level.

Yeah, i edited the post to say JZ and not rolphy. Remember, there are cars in Dark City model pack also. JZ's cars can be used in non commercial games. A licensees comes with sitters downloads in the folder. I'll get you some DM cars ASAP. attached is sitters license.

If we are going to beta test some levels now we have to set up the player. here is what the player must have and this is writtn in stone.

200 health
3 lives
colt 45 as the starting weapon with 3 clips of ammo. All other weapons will be pick ups.
Speed/hurt fall 100

I think we should put up an IMDB page. And I have a nice picture as a cover (attached).

@seppgirty Holy crap! That is an awesome site! Btw what are the permissions to use the models from that site? And what about other stuff available at the linked sites like risen3D and such?

I think we are still a ways off from promoting the game. Be patient my friend.

I attached the sitters license in the post above yours. I think the official rizen stuff is just for that game.

@ all

This is the progress thread and should only show the progress of the game. All questions and comments should stay in the other thread.

@ seppgirty Thank you, got all the stuff.
Yep, understood, will put all of these in place..

No problem

@ Mriganka Yeah, I'll just be happy if we can pull this off

@ everyone, I might have a solution to the "Multi Level" problem. Been slowly working
with ched80's "maptastic" scripts. Just had a break thru, can easily unlock next level
only after completing first one (using a lot of variables) There's one catch (there always is )
Turn Imageblock "off"

The game only needs one game .exe, right? We're all using Bi V10.5, correct? Ok, bear with me,
We each build our level/levels, call the .exe DarkCity. The .exe name stays the same, but in the
Levelbank\testlevel\Level1" you can easily change the "Level1" to "Level2"...ect (what ever your build level is, mine is 4 & 5)

We all pool our "files" into one big one. Don't worry, most of us are using most of the same stuff, right?
The we get our "levelbank\testlevel\ builds together (1 thru 5)
With the first level unlocked, Maptastic's scripts will unlock next level when first is completed.
Sounds big/complicated but it's really not...

When do we start making the cutscenes? My static level is done. Only thing left is the npc providing the voice acting, cutscenes, custom AI and as overall the UI. I have an experience of making scripts (I used to make them for comics for a cousin of mine). SO should I jot the dialogues down for the game or my level?

@ncmako I think we should make the mapstatic map available from the main menu and pause menu (as it would not be proper if we change location on the fly as the story wouldn't fit properly into the next playthrough). Can you try to make it like a missions menu after the game/level(s) is completed? But the idea for it is great!

@everyone I have this question... in games (generally) the pacing in managed by putting sections of walks (with conversation or atmosphere) or puzzles. Since we are mostly doing a single level each, how do you think we will manage that?

@ Mirganke Your kinda right about the "Maptastic" problem (going form one level to another without some control.
Have been working on a "Menu" system from within a built level itself...hard to explain, but it seems to work?
Slowly getting control of each level only when prior level is finished

We'll start on the cut scenes soon enough. We will all have to do voice overs and get other people involved for that. The cut scenes will be a motion comic style. I will write most of the dialog.

PLEASE, keep these conversions in the other thread. This is the show off thread.

Quote: "This is the show off thread"

Ok then.... time to show off some stuff Have been very busy working on a menu system we could use if the "other guys"
can't get a working program. Below is attached a very simple build, 4 levels, level one is the menu. Just start the game as
normal. Hit "esc" to bring up menu, hit "load game" a simple menu to the left appears.

You can stay in the main menu (which is level 1) or click on level 1 (which is actually level 2 )
Just walk through the room to other side and you'll hit the "winzone" Level 1 is complete.
It goes back to "Main Menu" and when you hit "loadgame" you will now have "level1 & Level 2" available!
Go through all three levels, at anytime you can hit "esc" to bring up menu again.
Play with it and see what you think???

Edit: Ok, even at only 30megs it wont let me post it here. So I uploaded it to Google Drive
under the "Other" folder Also, I tested the download and figured I can streamline it a bit.
I'm going to try and place the "Levels Finished" on the "Title Page" at the very beginning.

@ everyone, in my haste to finish and upload the Menu build I uploaded the wrong one last night
Have now uploaded the correct build "DarkCity Working Menu" on google drive under the "Folder" section.
Please try out and let me know of any bugs ? Just load a Chapter and walk through room to other side until
you hit winzone. Rest is self explanatory.

@ everyone Been working out some small ideas I had and wanted your thoughts. Instead of the traditional
"loading screen" with the typical loading bar, I thought of using a Colt45 shooting a bullet?
Was very easy to make and works great. see attached pic..
Also, tried out some other "splash" screen ideas. This one is made directly "Inside" of fps creator.
It's a very small level, plays quick...it's not an .avi file.

We have so many commands, there really isn't much that can't be done.

dial it back a little there pal. These loading screens are going to look better than my levels. Great job on those. Also, for those flip pics in the video, do you want to use captures from our levels?

@ncmako The style is already great. What would be awesome is to include some 80s style music in there. Like the Netflix show Stranger Things.

Ok, I watched "Stranger Things" several times. Loved it. But that was more on the horror side I thought?
I'll check it out again (the sound track) Or are you leaning more toward a "Starsky & Hutch" style beat?

I am leaning more towards the beat. Make the style of the game feel classic 80s (as it was suggested by seppgirty in the same way in the other thread).

Hello all. My most humble apologies for going AWOL on you, but I had a bit of trouble with my ticker.

I see that you are nearly complete and tweaking things, and it's looking AWESOME! I knew you guys would put in some new and cool tech. You're not only making a game but taking FPSC to a new level. So sorry I couldn't be part of this one. Perhaps next time if I feel up to it. I'm still here and watching. Keep up the great work.

Brian.

Ok, after a long month of playing catch-up, finished all the models I need for
the scarp yard level 5. ( and some extras if any one needs some ???)
School bus is my favorite. You can walk through it. Cargo truck has open back end for items.
Will work on finishing level5, scripts, music and anything else...

Mirganka Nice scripts, I'll add these to game play. Only I don't have the bullet impact sounds. Could you send them to me please.
One thing though with scripts, I make it a habit not to use "spaces" for "file paths" in scripts. It has caused problems in the past

I came back to check in every now and then, I wish I had more time, I truly feel like I missed the bus!

This winter (in about 2 months) I will have plenty of down time as things slow down at work.

I just wanted to say, you gents have done a grand job! I cant wait to have a go at this. Also, FYI, the google drive says its almost full. Email me if it hits full.
