Greetings to all of you,



I have a couple of questions and hope I am at the right place. If not please let me know then I will move the threat.



- The FPS creator reloaded is a new version of the FPS creator? So, would modules that I buy from the model packs work for this editor as well?



- I can do simple coding in MATLAB and C, I also watched the tutorials, but it is still not very clear to me what kind of coding experience I need for example to write scripts.



- I saw that it is possible to implement videos through story-trigger. Is is also possible to display a .txt file or .png/.jpg file in game? For example, when you walk up to a desk with a file on it, you can hit enter to look at the file, and then the file is displayed in the center of the screen.



- Is it also possible to create a kind of tutorial level? A level to explain to the player how to move etc, by presenting text in the players HUD?



- Maybe most of these questions can be answered by the game manual? I wasn't able to find it. Maybe someone can point me into the right direction.



- Is it also possible to have the game make a replay of the level played. Say the player enters a certain level and completes it and the game creates a video file from the players perspective?



- How is the compatibility with other software sold by TGC? For example 'Dark voices'. Would this work with the FPS creator reloaded, too?



- Is it possible to have interactions with objects. E.g. you walk up to a lever and the player can press 'E', the lever turns and the light goes off. Or the player walks up to an object such as a laptop and presses 'E' to pick it up.



- Finally, is it possible to prompt the player for certain input? Say a number combination?





I hope you can help me with this, I really like what I'm seeing so far.



Kind regards,

Milten

Hi,



1) Most static models from FPSC will work out of the box, however, currently, legacy characters, weapons and dynamic objects aren't supported. We plan on adding legacy support to later versions.



2) Scripting is via the LUA scripting language. LUA is fully intergrated, but currently there are only a few commands to communicate with the engine. The scripting languge will be expanded up over the next few months.



3) Currently, only videos are supported, however support for other formats will follow as the engine expands.



4) As Reloaded is in Beta there is no manual, as the engine is likely to change during development. Once there is a final release, we will provide a manual. In the meantime, our friendly community is always willing to help with questions.



5) No, that isn't possible. Please feel free to visit our feature creep board if you'd like to suggest it as a possible expansion for the future.



6) Minor interaction is possible via scripting currently. E.g. Pick up objects, open gates, etc. Again additional support for greater interactions will be added later.



7) This would be possible via scripting, but currently, I'm not aware of any scripts for it.



I hope that helps.



SC

Thank you for your quick response.



I will have a look at the LUA language. Anyway, one last question.



Does the pledge you make work exactly as in a kickstarter? So if I were to pledge at e.g. gold level, would I receive the full version once it is finished for 'free' so to speak, or would I still need to buy it?

Yes you would receive the full version .
