Hi Fellow Game Makers,

I have moved the latest BETA to PP Build.

The changes include new particle commands and effect additions, plus other tweaks that have been made over Christmas and the new year, and some fixes to the multiplayer system. There is also a new 'but not yet activated' feature for those peeking into the SETUP.INI file or source code which moves all the file writing activity out of the Steam folders and into one friendlier to Windows 10, but this will not be making its debut until it has been thoroughly tested.
PC SPECS: Windows 10 64-bit, Intel Core i7-8700K, NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1080 GPU, 16GB SYSTEM RAM

You can install the Public Preview via Steam.

Go to your steam Library
Right click on GameGuru
Select Properties
then click the " Beta " Tab
From the drop down menu select " publicpreview-Public Preview " at the bottom of the list
Game Guru will then auto update and you will be on the PP version

You should get an Update queued ... then after a few seconds it should look like this in your library.

Here you go.


This uses the 'material' indication from an entity to determine which bullet holes to use, which of course relies on the fpe files having material set to something sensible (I think it's an fpe setting). You'll probably find a lot of entities do not have them set. (we don't seem to have a 'glass' material setting though)

Bullet holes only appear on static entities btw, you can comment out line 139 in the script to also get them on active entities but if you do the entity might move and leave the bullet hole hanging in mid air. (that's the next round of changes, maybe)

I've included Graphix's bullet hole image files in the zip, you can replace those with anything you like, for example you could create a paintball style game with this.

This works great. Thank you.

Attach the script to a dynamic entity with always active to yes.
Hide the entity.
You need to use one of the weapons in the script file.

"Yep that wasn't too painful to setup at all"
Just for exceptional people like me! What did I do wrong?

It gave me a script error when I run it.
"250 attempt to assign GetBulletHit, a nil value"

I have the Colt, Magnum and Uzi in the test level.
I have several different materials, but haven't changed any fpe.s
Is there a default material in the script? Where best to add one if not?

I noticed that weapon list was set for;
'modern\\colt1911',
'modern\\uzi',
'modern\\sniperm700',
'modern\\magnum357'

my file arrangement does not have a "modern" folder
I changed it to just;
'colt1911',
'uzi',
'sniperm700',
'magnum357'
That didn't work.

Sorry, no. Maybe that would help! Guess I can wait then.
Would having the 'modern' part in the weapons folder effect anything after that?
Cause I sure don't have it arranged that way in my weapons folder?

Umm, how weird. Shoot the outside of a barrel and not bullet holes, shoot the inside of it and the occasional bullet hole does appear.

Methinks light mapped entities and ray casting don't play well together, will need to experiment to find out what is going on.


Actually it is the 'material' being reported back that is causing it, normally a barrel would return '12' which I have mapped to 'metal' but when lightmapped the same barrel now returns '10' which I think indicates no material, bit strange but that's GG for you.

We may well have to wait until the light mapper is fully functional again for this little issue …
Or real time shadows so we don't need the mapper

GameGuru Public Preveiw Feb Fixer Issues..




I forgot to mention the other day but since I installed the Feb Fixer GG in game looks bad,
It is kind of out of focus some times also has a black like smokey frame as if you are looking
down the rifle scope, I know is has a fine area like this anyways but it gets darker the longer
you are in game mode. Also game movement is not smooth walking around its jerky movement.
Needs some more work fixing these issues.

The dark edging is the vignette, it's a slider option in the tab tab options (two sliders i think), it's been there for years. Maybe you switched it on by mistake and it's remembering the setting for new levels too.

Other 'tab tab' sliders may have shifted default positions or be at different settings to what you are used to (like the vignette), this may be causing the jerky movement on your machine?

Try dropping the 'Lightrays' and 'SAO Intensity' to zero and see if that helps.

I'm not seeing any differences / issues like that here.

Cheers.
