I was wondering I created a relatively small level with basic entitys. Not too many enemy's or lights. I know when you build a game with full light mapping that you might as well wait till next morning but thats not the problem. The problem lies when I go to play the game its takes an exact amount of 36 minutes to be playable.

Would building the game to quick light mapping fix the problem or does it just take forever for a game to load using the FPS creator engine. I meen who wants to wait 36 minutes for a game. This creates a huge problem for me. Thanx if anyone can explain.

It's been said in another thread that there's not much difference between quick and full light mapping, but seeing as a new lighting system is soon to be implemented i'd stick with quick.

Yes there is when you use static lighting.
It takes forever for a game to biuld for me if I have quite a few static lights and full lightmapping.
I have also noticed if my level contains mostly dynamic lighting that soft lightmapping and full lightmapping take about the same time.
Fortunately the lightmapping will be addressed in a future update of FPSC.

My computer specs are the following

Windows XP Professional
Pentium 4 3.4 ghz HT
1 GB Ram
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 256MB
80GB Hard Drive

All of the lights in my level are static does it really matter if I set them to dynamic?

Yes, setting lights to dynamic will change them totally. The only time you need a light to be dynamic is if you're making a flickering light. Otherwise, keep them static.

Then the question still lies why it takes my game 36 minutes to load the game. If the bigger the levels you make the longer it takes to load a game ratio is like this then I might just have to be fored to learn DBPro.

DBPro certainly is better than FPS Creator, but I wouldn't buy DBPro now, but I would wait until DBPro X10 and buy it then, or, you can buy FPS Creator X10, which will eclipse the current FPS Creator.

how do you change the fadecorpse script so that the enemy fades away slowly and not very fast like the program is set up to?
