DEMO RELEASE! Scroll down!
Okay, I've decided to take a break from FPSC and managed to come up with this.

At first it was to be a Wolfenstein 3d remake, but I scrapped that idea and when for big landscapes. So far this is what's done:

Weapons: 90% (Just need Pickups and such)
Ammo System: 0%
Bullet Collision with Enemies & Static Stuff: 100%
Camera Movement: 100%
Levels: 0% (Currently Random)
Enemy AI: 30%
Particles: 80%
Foilage: 33% (About 10/30 trees)

Most of those are more or less a random guess I'm using mostly DarkMatter models (with some treemagic stuff) but I'm also trying to make the option to choose 'high quality' and it uses the FPSC german soldier. I made a lower poly version of it (the default had way too many) but I've had texturing problems. I'll get it working eventually.

Demos:
Demo(4-17-06) *Not yet uploaded to my site. Scroll down for download.

Videos(*Note: Fraps lowers FPS rate, it is better in game):
Basic Combat Video (9.40 MB - High Quality)
Basic Combat Video (4.83 MB - Low Quality)

Screenshots:




Comments and ideas for a plot are welcome

EDIT: Not sure if it matters, but the bullets are not actuall objects, instead it is far more accurate with a sort of 'raycasting' (intersect object)

*Hopefully* Later today or tommorrow. I'm still cleaning out some of the old stuff in the directory and getting some bugs out. I'm also putting together a small launcher for the beta for testing purposes that will be included.

Edit: Quick note I've got 10 out of the 30 planned trees done. It's really something I could finish right now with the ease of treemagic.

Looks good. Too add to the realism though, I strongly suggust you modify the grass texture. If you have Paint Shop Pro, or Gimp, the darken and Burn brushes would do wonders. The graphics just don't go together(a night sky and bright green grass )

Also, I recommend a muzzle flash for your and the enemies gun(and possibly a cross fire). Add those things and you'll have yourself a pretty nice game going.

Keep up the good work, just trying to give you some C&C on a promising project.

And there's nothing wrong with that. I'm just tired of people using the same words in every post. A little variety please people!

Good idea. The sky is supposed to be bright though - I think the light is effecting it. I'll have it set so it is uneffected by it (I do that for muzzle flashes)

I'll have a muzzle flash soon, and the crosshair is something I can never forget - my brother keeps nagging about it!

The only thing I'm not sure about is the muzzle flash on the enemies. I guess I could add a new limb - we'll see

Edit: Got 6 more trees done.

Or maybe you could somehow use the OBJECT SCREEN X/Y command, to paste a sprite? I dunno, it might work!

Keep it up!

i like the demo but some of the trees have blue around them and you should add some crosshairs.

It won't work for me. After I put in a number for the number of enemies and trees, the game closed and a file appeared with this in it:

Sorry, I'm not quite ready to give up the source, and it appears that the problem is DBP, not my program, as diffrent errors would occur if there was a bug in the game. (ex: A message would pop up that isn't the error log).

Works fine for me - so unlikely to be a problem with your code. Keep up the good work.

Covenant - check to make sure your computer matches to DBP's min requirements, that should point out something.

ALMOST ready to release the final version, I'm not going as far as I wanted to with this, but oh well...I've got to work on HE.

I got your game to work! I had to set it to use Windows 98 / ME compatibility mode. It seems that it doesn't like Windows XP.

Looks good so far. To fix the blue around the trees, use set object transparency tree,4

Yah, it's weird. DarkBASIC Pro and any program written in it work great on my PC, except for this one. Oh, well, maybe I'll never know why.

I have a few questions.
1) Have you considered using timer based movements?
2) Do you have any more weapons planned, or are you sticking to the four that you have now?
3) Will you be adding anything like jumping or crouching?

Well, considering I don't plan on doing much more with it, there probally won't be jumping, crouching, or more weapons. What do you mean by time based movements?

Right now, everything moves a certain amount each frame. If the framerate drops, the gameplay slows down. With timer based movements, everything moves a certain amount for a certain amount of time (maybe 1 second). This way, the gameplay is the same speed nomatter how fast the computer can run it.

Here's a way. Put:

sincelastframe = timer()-oldtimer
if sincelastframe=0 then sincelastframe=1
fps# = 1000 / sincelastframe
adj# = 60 / fps#
oldtimer=timer()

at the beginning of the main loop. Then, add this to the end of every movement:

*adj#

Then, things will always move at the same rate. Example:

do
sincelastframe = timer()-oldtimer
if sincelastframe=0 then sincelastframe=1
fps# = 1000 / sincelastframe
adj# = 60 / fps#
oldtimer=timer()

move object 1,5*adj#
yrotate object 2,wrapvalue(object angle y(2)+(2*adj#))
position object 3,x#,y#+(1*adj#),z#

If the game seems to fast or too slow, change the 60 to another number.

Thanks covenant, I tried another timing thing but had trouble with it, hopefully this will help.

Edit: Okay, it works. I also purchased the new sprite pack and will be using some things from that. I guess I'll make a final version after all!
