Just wondering if anybody's tried this yet? I know we can create a multi level game by entering the next map into the winzone/triggerzone! Would it be possible to string an FPSC Classic map into a standalone GG Game?....

I will experiment but if anybody has any input please let me know...

As far as I know a winzone would not load in a classic map as its a completely different engine .... Its a good thought...
You could probably get away with making a stand alone level in each editor and using a multi-launcher to execute them ...
There is an app on my GameGuru Files site that could make that possible

Nothing is impossible, but I can tell you that there is no backwards compatibility with FPSC levels whatsoever, and Game Guru levels only talk to other Game Guru levels. As above, you are very welcome to have a go and see what happens, and let us know what horrors emerge

Well....after several try's I was not able to make this happen.

Here is the results and a breakdown of my attempts thus far....

1st: .... I did another build of my Finished GG game "X-Canyon II Snake River" and enter'd the map file name of My finished FPSC Classic game "Deep 6" into the "If Used" of the GG winzone!

2nd: .... I tried inserting the FPSC Classic game and all it's files into the GG games mapbank a couple of different way's....

With One try I used the FPSC Classic files raw without packing the game and On my 2nd try I used my FPSC Classic game pack'd with Vishnu 9.0 in hopes that the GG game would find the path to the FPSC Classic game's exe. but to no avail.....

I would play the GG game all the way through to the winzone and then the GG game would either render to "Continue" and the same GG map would start over again or the entire Game would crash after entering the winzone which is what I figured would happen....

I can only see a solution to this would be to script a path in GG to Close it's engine and open the FPSC Classic Game's executable ....which I can not do! lol

I do see s4reals multi-launcher as the solution to what I individually want to do which is use 3 of my FPSC Classic Maps and a couple of GG maps because the multi-launcher basically let's you take individually Pack'd with Vishnu Games and use them as choosable chapters to create a multi chapter story line.....that will work for me!!!

@Lee Bamber

I would like to just take this opportunity to thank you Sir (& the TGC Dev team) for the tools you have put in my hands to create! I have never been the artistic sort when it comes to images.I am more of a blue-Collar craftsman /tradesman that can read blueprints and build structures and operate/repair machinery! I am a window washer by trade but my background has always been in the construction industry as in carpentry and mechanics! TGC has given me the ability to create with my imagination and I cant thank you enoough...

I have a couple of suggestions for GG I hope you will consider....

1: I would like to see a "choose HUD" tool in the in-game editor! same as we are able to choose the skybank it would be nice to choose the global game HUD'S so as users can create there own style and pick and choose from a "HUD Bank"!!

2: It would be nice to see a "Scope Hud" option in a weapons "property's" menu so users can create and/or choose specific styles of scope's and cross hairs....

We want to call this the "EZ Game maker" so thats just my amateur input for GG....

Also please keep in mind I am always interested in Career opportunity's in your industry. I would love to get out of the window washing trade before I get to old to climb ladders! If TGC ever needs a rep in Southern California please consider me and if you by any chance know anybody with Blizzard entertainment please tell them to look at "sHn33Ky" I have a profile with them in there Career opportunity's section and live very close to Blizzards Irvine California Campus.

Just a shot in the Dark ....

Respect to you ShN33Ky for having a really good shot at it .... looks like you went through everything .
I figured the Multi-Launcher would probably be the easiest way around this giving you the best of both worlds

Front end editor is planned which I assume will cover the hud features as well
