Hi All,

I am pleased to announce the launch of the Monster Update, more information can be found here: https://www.thegamecreators.com/post/gameguru-launches-monster-update

As you know, we run internal tests, beta tests, and even Public Preview tests, but we can never catch all the issues until it really goes live. If you find anything that you think is a new issue, please do post it to our GitHub issues tracker which we will be monitoring closely this week in light of the launch: https://github.com/TheGameCreators/GameGuruRepo/issues
PC SPECS: Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit, Intel Core i7-5930K (PASSMARK:13645), NVIDIA Geforce GTX 980 GPU (PASSMARK:9762) , 32GB RAM

I love the append system you've added for animations, that's going to make life a lot easier when using stock animations from site like maximo etc.

Any chance you could do a twitch explaining that system?

I'm assuming you need a base rigged model with no animations, or at the least an idle animation, and then a model for each of the other animations?

Do the animation models need to have meshes? Or can they be just rigs with animations to save on file sizes etc?

What is the .xsl in the _fbx folder for? Is it required and if so how would we make our own?

Hi Lee and all the Game-Guru people!

I love the new monster update, thank you very much! I'ts awesome! The only problem I have is that the characters don't shoot at me.

When I place one of the stock characters in my level e.g. the masked soldier, when I approach him, he turns and aims at me but does not shoot. When I get close to him, he will kick at me, but that's it.

Yes that's been mentioned
Not sure if that's a bug or an update required by the creator ?

Set the viewcone angle to 180
Set the viewdistance to about 1000

Then its a Whole different ball game .. Well it is for me anyway ..
You can use debug to see what's going on and set your own preferences

As Syncro posted, most of the soldiers for some reason are set by default to only see you if you are right up close and directly in front of them, you have to go into their properties and increase the viewcone angle (from what i understand 180 is actually 360) and viewdistance.

RE Append. I could be wrong of course but in DB Pro you just had to add each anim in with a bit of code. So you could have 10 animations, all separate but the same model, then just add them in and save as one object (DBO) with all 10 anims. I imagine it will be similar with this but not sure how you would actually run the code. So certainly one for Twitch, if that's a thing still! I hated doing anim's all in a line so append was very useful at the time.

Nice update from my tests so far as well!

Huge update, really appreciated.
Nevertheless, I confirm that some BSP's weapons (AK47, M16A4) now have black texture ( curiously, BSP's Kar98 rifle and HK23 suppressed pistol and MP5submachine gun work properly)

And as Bod stated, in FPV, walking/running animation is far much slower than it used to be and the character seems like "bouncing" a bit...

For guns with pure black shiny look it means the requested texture isn't found. Check the gunspecs and compare working vs. non-working models to see if there is a difference in the textured=x line. Guns no longer force load the gun_ maps onto the mesh by default. The system now *correctly* gets the map names from the model itself if the textured field is left blank (makes multiple textures possible). It may be an issue of needing to manually specify the map or change the assigned shader.

Also note, vsync is on by default and anim speed is affected by this a bit depending on FPS. It could also be related to how he had gunspec settings set up. There were A LOT of settings which were either not being read or read/applied correctly but now are.

No way, they are still untextured.... Hopefully BSP will fix it if this is not a GG issue ( by the way, walking/running animation gets better by simply changing character speed from 100 to 200, still bouncing a bit nonetheless - added some kind of Wallaby's DNA in GG ?? )

The thanks go out to the GitHub freelancers, I just cobble things together For the BSP weapons, my intent was always to retain backwards compatibility, so if you can post a screenshot of the issue and the exact name of the BSP weapon in the shot, I will go through and try and reproduce it. Thanks.

Hi Lee

First of all, thanks for this great update.
Here are the screenshots with BSP's weapons (2 work fine, 2 have 'lost' their textures somewhere in the process )

I imported several BSP WWII weapons from FPSC using WeaponWelder 1.6.4 and they are looking and working great. These are WWII/Kar98, LugerP08, MG42, MP40, Panzerfaust, Thompson M1A1. They might be a little too glossy (not much) but I'm personally OK with it.

However, I do have a BSP/Weapons gun called Shoulder-Launched Missilethat show up black. See attached. It appears that this gun has all the DDS files. List: gun_color, normal, metalness, D, and S. It also has a gun_cube, whatever that might be.

I ran the gun_d.dds through Normalizator using the "magic" button and image number 2 is the result. A little dark I suppose but there is texture.

If the mesh texture is named gun_d and the gunspec texture is also gun_d GG lose the texture and a black weapon results. I just removed the mesh name with fragmotion on one of BSPs guns and it now finds the texture specified in gunspec. Definitely a change brought on with the monster update.

Cheers.

I already bought it and got a steam key but it's not uploaded to steam yet. I'm sad but patient.

I believe there is texture there but it is very, very dark. It was even dark after running through Normalizator, but not quite as dark.

BTW, when it was said that it was in the mesh I deleted the texture file name in the gunspec file. It was slightly lighter but still pretty dark. I actually lightened the image to show that there is texture.

if the weapon is "bouncing" make sure he has a value set for simplezoomspeed to smooth runy offset transition and also check the player wobble height setting in the start marker. 150 should be default. Lastly, check in setup.ini and try disabling player speed mods ( was previously disabled by default) this mod will cause the anim playback speed to change based on travel speed. If the weapon wasn't animated or setup properly, having this enabled will definitely change how it behaves.

That's most likely a shader issue then. You guys could also try leaving the effect field blank to see if that helps anything.

Here is my "Quasar gun" with two different lighting schemes. One darker and one lighter.

The following is what I had done to get it to show better.

In the gun file, there are other images that start with "Quasar." These are not needed. Either delete them or move them out of the gun file. In the gunspec.txt file, I made sure the texture and effect were the following.

textured = gun_D.dds
effect = effectbank\reloaded\weapon_bone.fx

OK, did all that and looks better now.
Since the FPE references the deleted quasar_gun_D.dds I also changed the references in the FPE to match those in the gunspec.txt file.



Edit: Mod work in progress.

Is this an old map or a new one ?

Try an absolute fresh map with start marker and character
set the viewcone to 180 and the the viewdistance to 1000,
Then run it

You can press tab and hit the debug slider to see all the viewcone and view distance to insure your in range
Give it a second when you run a test …. it takes a second for you to be detected ..

@Synchromesh: Yes, it is a new fresh map. I set the viewcone and distance like you said, also did the debug. Nothing works, the AI still only stands there. I even did an uninstall and a fresh install, still the same. Funny thing is that with the previous update before the monster update, the AI was working perfectly, and I was so glad.

Now I don't know what to do anymore, might as well give up.

If it left it there than rename it to files2 and reinstall so you still keep your old stuff..
This way there is no old files contamination … Assuming the uninstall did not remove the folder .

Does everything else run ok ?

Team, contributors, Lee; this is amazing work.

...and some mediocre MSI motherboard holding it all together. It's a bit of a franken-build but it's good enough for me.

No need to give up. I can't remember if you said that the NPC using the ai is something you created or if it is a stock character. If it is custom, the first thing to do is use a stock NPC and see if that works. If that one works then make sure that your custom NPC has a Lua script and that it is pointing to the right folder/directory and is not misspelled. Most of the time that an NPC does not do what it should be doing is that there is no script that tells it what to do. The stock soldiers use either ai_cover.lua or, ai_soldier.lua which is the prominent one to use. However, if you have a custom NPC, then the stock script may not work with it and you will have to write a customized script.

If none of this works or solves the mystery, then completely uninstall GG through steam and then reinstall GG. This will not delete any of your purchased or custom/created objects.

Its a stock character and the rest you mention has been done ….
The only thing left is literally make sure the files folder doesn't stay … Rename to keep the old and then reinstall

OK, sorry, I was too lazy to read all the posts regarding this. Still, whatever is wrong I am sure can be fixed as it is working for everybody else. Well, working at least for me.

I will stay out of it. I just want to encourage you to keep on keepin' on.

@ Synchromesh and Flatlander: Thanks for thew help, guys. I used a stock NPC with the ai_soldier.lua. When I did the uninstall it didn't remove all the files, so I will try what you suggested, Synchromesh.
