Testing now so far working good, Great addition .x mate thank you for your excellent work and commitment to this
great little big app.

@Super Clark-thanks, hope you get a lot out of the tool.

Looking into other segment types such as windows etc as the tool doesn't identify them and then revisiting dynamic entities for levels.
have a good day
M

so I found that (and I should have known) some doors have multiple door frames, good example are the Kasseyus Space Derelict Access doors. I will need to update the code to handle this situation. Also, get the same issue as the vault door post sinking door fix. Doors, what a pain ha

Well I know the right man is on the job, also by the way would you be willing to add entity's ?
as I noticed a few of the old packs that lot of items are half way through the floor
like London Pack fire escape stairs sunk well into ground as well as other big items in
old scifi pack . Or will you need to make a new tool for that I do not mind paying
for that also.

@Super Clark-I will be looking at entities-it may be that I will charge for entities and weapons as there is quite a lot more involved-we will have to see.

Ok Thanks, also is there anyway you could raise the height of some of the sci-fi segments
like > Maintenance Gantry (Corner) - Maintenance Gantry (Straight)
Maintenance Gantry (Deadend) as the base beams are sunk into floor in GG.

not to sure if any others as only just started doing platforms

yes yes weapon and entites ...dynamic entities but most important characters...I pay for them all..... Characters... characters...characters..

been a bit busy this week, however, I fancied a change so started very very early code for the Weapon import/export tool from FPSC -> GameGuru. So far the program asks the user to configure the FPSC/GG installations which only has to be done once and saves a config file. Then loads in an FPSC weapon from directory. Not much to show yet but here is a very small pic. This is example only, so don't look too much into the screenshot.

shut up and take may money..!!!
supercool.. cant wait!!!
you are my hero..... no weapons and after characters.. please...

Having quite a lot of fun converting FPSC weapons so that they are compatible with GameGuru and there are a few things that need updating or replacing etc but work ok so far. Anyway, here a couple of pics for now.

Great job Michael. I will defiantly buy the character converter if you can make it.

@seppgirty-thanks, no worries about the character converter, I will start that over the weekend, fancied a change from the segment/level tool. Will play around a bit more with weapons, character conversion then back onto segment/level stuff and tackle the dynamic entities (challenge and an 'alf that will be)

P.S. I see GG aint really progressed much......

i'll buy them too ..weapon converter and character converter as well..

i noticed from your pics that wapons you use are togher with original hand... it would be cool if we can import only weapons without the hand

@JC LEON-A weapon without a hand? ha - well I could certainly remove it as a user option if you really wanted - are you thinking vehicles or replacing the hand with your own ?

[edit-I need to rethink whether weapon tool will be free. the FPSC character/entity importer will most likely not be free]

sorry fo my poor english...
i wanted to say if the weapons imported will be only weapons or weapons + hands sinc from your pics i se hat any weapon comes with its original hand

@JC LEON-if Im understanding correctly, yes all weapons will come with original hands if they exist.

I am sure most people wont mind paying for these tools (me for one ) they are a great addition to GG ,many thanks for the work you have put in so far.Well worth the money .

Dave

I will be happy that the weapons work with or without hands, I would just like to be able to have the WW2 weapons again
with the Characters as I have an old FPSC classic level I created, that I want to bring into GG.

As for Paying for Software, You have put the effort in to create the tools for us to use so only right you
ask for a contribution towards the development, Lets face it, we all paid for Reloaded.. Now we have GG
that not even 100% capable of making a full spec game as yet.

Well done mate looking forward to the new software release.

@Super Clark-am actually converting the ww2 weapons now

thanks for all your thoughts-I think the weapon tool is going to be free of charge to all that purchased the welder tool and will be a separate app. I think for any other software will see a small charge (no idea how much yet).

I would expect to pay for the character/entity converter. That's not a problem. The fact that you take your products seriously and you listen to the consumer makes me happy.

@seppgirty-thanks for the kind comment.

I have made 3 short videos just showing some of the results of the Weapon FPSC -> GG import/export. It's nowhere finished yet and is not a fully automated process, I still have to make some manual changes until I get the program to do it all. Lots of testing and understanding the weapon specs as I progress further. FPSC textures look very bright in GG and would probably need some sort of preprocessing (will see what I can do programatically). Some FPSC crosshairs aren't compatible with GG at all so get replaced with a GG one. One of the vids has missing status panel as I forgot to add it in the spec. There seem to be a few mistakes in some of the specs, but the basic weapons work. Grenades (e.g. ww2) seem to be way off the mark as you throw them and not sure yet if there is a fix for this that can be done, will need more investigating. Some weapons come out a lot better than others. Anyway, here are the 3 vids with some background music as I wanted to save my voice ha

To think you was going to give it all up a while ago would have been such a waste of talent .
excellent work there is some real skilled and talented people on this forum and you rank
among them looking forward to seeing this program release,



love the music, that zombie in table made me howl , typical woman never gives up lol.

yes i would weapons come with but mostly without hands so we can use weapons with gameguru character hands.. it would be not very good if we have a weapon... pickup another and our characters has another cloth or hand style.. lol

yes I see what you mean now. It would look odd with different weapon hands.

BOTR:
When are you going to activate the camera button for the .bmp/ icon ? Other than that I am pleased with the latest version .

@Lance- glad you are pleased with latest version. Please can you send a screenshot to jog my memory. As far as I can see all camera BMP icons are present, do you have GG running at same time? If you do, the .BMP for the camera can disappear, I will need to fix that at some point.

any news about weapons and character converter??

BOTR:
The camera button is there and it does work with segments . It doesn't work when in FPSC Level Build /Prefab. It makes the camera sound but no .bmp is created . Sorry I wasn't clear about the camera button problem .

thanks Lance-i'll fix the issue and send an update at some point.

still working on the weapon tool, not started entity tool yet.

Gone back to look at the camera missing issue for FPSC levels in the SegAutoWElder 3.5.7.3, but don't have this problem unless GameGuru is running. I will see what I can do to fix this as soon as possible. For now I recommend closing GG and restarting the welder tool. Also, am going to resume getting the dynamic entities into GG for FPSC levels. Development for Weapon tool still continuing.

Hopefully all being well, the first Weapon prototype will be released tomorrow to all that purchased the welder tool. There is still some more work to do, but it will get you started on converting any FPSC weapons into GameGuru format. I will be adding a video tomorrow morning just to show current progress.

Here is a video showing weapon welder and FPSC ww2 weapons. It's progressing quite well, but I'd really like to sort those bright textures out, maybe I'll play around with the shaders using Dark Shader and textures in paint.net or similar to see what can be done. Ok, so I did A'level Art at school, but have not much clue when it comes to textures in 3D games, so if anyone out there can help with why the textures are so bright in GG, please feel free to guide me in the right direction, any info is welcome
If anyone who purchased wants to try out the tool at it's current version, please PM/email me and I will send you a link.

I noticed during playback that it got cutoff at the end, think I got confused when using the pause function. Will upload an addtional video with the grenade again as soon as possible.

ok so I toned down the brightness of the textures by bringing down the hue saturation and seems to make the textures less bright. You artists out there will probably be screaming "what is the fool doing?" ha. Anyway, your right, I have not much of a clue when it comes to texturing or UV mapping etc. Anyway, here is the pic. Please feel free to bombard me with comments, and if I'm doing it right/wrong In the meantime, I'm gonna read up on Hue, Saturation and brightness, I hear my "learning ears" calling

well it can't get any worse here is original pic of the tommygun compared to the toned down light saturation......

ww2 bazooka with updated texture...with a little help from Fragmotion also....

[update-ww2p2 sten gun comes out very well and works great....]

I think it could be mainly the spec maps that are the problem, looking great cant wait to test it out .

@devlin, thanks for the tip, I'll have a look and see what I can do with the spec maps.

So tomorrow will bring fixes to the welder tool , a bit more tweaking with the weapon tool and starting the entity tool in between other commitments so busy day ahead

updated my code to hopefully fix the camera bmp issue missing from FPSC level. seems ok when running GameGuru on my PC windows 7 x64 bit. I'll issue the update most likely in the morning (Saturday UK am time). See pic..
if anyone has any outstanding issue, now is the time to speak before I send this update out tomorrow....

I need to ask something about the change texture function. I tried to use a texture of my own, and I got an error, could not find texture at line ?????
Does the texture have to be one from FPSC for it to change?

@MK83- should be able to use any texture, what was the line number, that will help track down the problem?

in the meantime, have been manually adding the ammo entity and weapon entity, in this case the bazooka from ww2 and getting my player to pick up the objects and seems to work fine. Now have to program this lot in

Weapon Welder 1.0 sent to all paid Welder tool users. I have loads still to add but just gives you a first taster of what it does so far. As stated in my email, will be adding code to change the GG weapon HUD, add ammo/weapon as map entities for pickup etc.

I forgot I am also out tonight in addition to being in and out all this morning so may not be able to do too much on the tools until tomorrow now (Sunday UK time), possibly this afternoon.

Happy shooting.

ok so just about to go out, but one last update for the day for the welder and weapon tools.....

@MK83-I have fixed the issue (fingers crossed) with user selected textures so the change texture function now works correctly. So you can load in any texture outside of FPSC creator, the program then converts it to .DDS if it's a .BMP or whatever. Seems to work ok. See pics below:

If I have time, I will pack and send out the 3.5.7.4 version of the tool when I get back. If not, will be tomorrow (Sunday).

Weapon and ammo as map entities:

Great work ,you should put up a pay pall link so people can donate to you for these extra tools your working on .

Dave

@Dave-thanks for your suggestion

If anyone would like to donate, my PayPal link is PayPal.me/MichaelFowler

Many thanks to all so far for your support
Mike

@Bored of the Rings, just in case you still need the error line number, see attached.

@MK83- thanks-yes this is where I got the reproduced error, this won't (or shouldn't) happen now

Weapons tool is great, just a note your video does not show that you need to copy & paste the original FPE & Image files from Classic FPSC
to GG as the tool does not do this, Just for newbies This Info.

The fpe needs to be edited and also the out put game spec file also needs modding like so
and apart from textures it works fine.
