Hi,

The Reloaded October Newsletter is ready to read!

Is there any way you can make the construction kit use an editing mode with mouse clicks and transform widgets? That mouse look editing mode is absolutely abysmal. It looks all cool in videos, but the thought of using such a system just makes me cringe.

it probably wasn't designed for user comfort right now I wouldn't think being early in its making. I would guess some fine tuning and tweaks will be done for control ect, I think it looks ok though but im used to building games similar to this conkit ingames I play so, im looking forwards to using it at whatever point its ready . but I have worries about it, how far are tgc going to take it because there is ALOT of styles to cover for buildings and im eager to see the glass for 1, was disappointed no windows lol.. but still I wants to build with it

Well, from the way things have been designed in the past, I'm thinking this is intended to be the final way that it is intended to work from an object placement/manipulation standpoint. I hope I am wrong.

Awesome stuff. Loving the construction kit.. that is looking great! I also think the multiplayer will be brilliant. I'm very impressed with what I'm seeing and can see huge potential in FPS Creator in the future. Keep up the amazing work guys!

When are we going to be able to package up the games, don't get me wrong I love making my own games however it would be nice to be able to package these up and either sell or give out copies.

You can make stand alone games now to share, for selling games have to wait until reloaded is out of beta and that's still a ways off yet

When I first saw it I thought to myself... is this minecraft or a legit game engine? I find if we are stuck with editing it the way it is now it would be unnecessarily tedious to use.



But then again I've never been okay with the whole F9 edit mode to begin with. So I'll guess I'll have to take whatever comes our way.



Sadly I really miss the FPSCx9 editor. It was quick, accurate and not subjected to the in game camera field of view, in game frame rate, in game atmospheric effects and etc. I was hoping we'd have the same type of top down editor in FPSCx9 but with the addition to shift the camera around. That would have been perfect for Reloaded. I never use the F9 edit mode unless I have to. Which is basically when I want things to be layered, like items on a shelf.



But considering how much work has been put into the CONKIT I'll use it when it gets here. It just looks like a much longer process than it would in a standard editor. The fact that you have to look at where your blocks are going, forces you to only see the center point of where your building... rather than a free moving cursor. Perhaps I'm being too critical of something I never worked with yet. So I will wait till it comes out. Be awesome if we get it this year



I should also add that the multiplayer test video is pretty awesome.
