Hi guys don't know if you want this here or in bugs so please move it if its in the wrong bit thx, just tested the standalone in this new build and here's what I've found save/load = sweet , level fadeout = very nice, the low fps message = still there (thought this was removed) the lives reports a silly figure e.g 69 when returning to the previous area? The only other thing that's quite paramount I've found is the huds again e.g if I go to a planet where the huds are used its fine when I go back to the starter level = the dropship with no huds as no weapons are needed when I return to the other level with huds they are not there :/ (I am using moshrooms scripts on this that use a return and a memory zone, could this be the problem does the new system autosave? if so I suppose I could be that and I can remove them and retest if there is a new autosave in place. advice? thx

For me the save/load is very great. No it makes sence to build really complex Games.

But...what is it in the screenshot I attached? This did not happen before the update. It was a normal zombie. (ok, "normal zombie" is a strange phrase ^^)

Sorry, wasn't being a [whatever you said], I was just passing on info, I despair at how text on a forum doesn't convey true emotion and meaning.

The link I gave is the full article, the link he gave is the list of articles, you have to click on the full article in the list to read it all.
(maybe The Next could take a look at that and make it more obvious somehow)

I agree, it's the same for me, I keep wanting to make a game, but without a proper save feature I kept wondering if it was worth making something of a decent length if there wasn't a save.

Hm...it's a strange thing. I can't reproduce it in GG test mode. It only happens at a savegame from a standalone game. When I start the standalone game fresh, it's no problem. When I save it and load the saveslot, it's happening.

I'm not be able to find out wich zombie this is. I will upload the Standalone game and send you the link.

im going also to test this new version.

I have some question about the evolution of Game-Guru for LeeBamber.

FIRST the next work you are going to achive is a better interface/options/functions of the engine itself for a better use when users have to use your engine and then create easily the game contents, thats what im interrested in, becaue to me actually the interface and optiosn are too poor, impossible to use and not very friendly user.

in that case can you tell us what options functions and others stuffs you are going to put in place?

i was testing the version 1.13 i created a scene with just 260 gravestones, i added grass and when i tried to launch the game BAM game-guru crashed so when you are telling us whe ca have 20.000 entities, if game guru crash with 260 entities....we are really far of 20.000.

and also, im going to change my steam review when the next update (better functions) are going to be added.

I missed the 20000 entity post as well as the interface work on the next update, i thought it was going to be the building maker or whatever it will be called. Personally, i find the interface quite intuitive, although would like more features. Eye candy is up to the programmer, but certainly not necessary, as GG is a utility after all. Now I'm really looking forward to the next update!

Thanks Lee and team, keep up the good job

I'm going to test it this weekend.
I had seem a lot of interesting features.
"GetEntityFilePath(e)" working as expected!

About "FloatingPlatform" I'm getting something odd when not a simple box as platform, like in vid below



Thanks for watch the vid.

I think to try more on depth on weekend anyway.

I just tried a pallet and it worked fine. Perhaps a palette qualifies as a simple platform? I'm curious as to what works and what doesn't. I will try a few things this weekend as well. This has a lot of potential. I hope this is just the start!



EDIT: Actually, the platform worked fine, but the uzi quit firing after a few clips (I gave myself 1000 rounds) and wouldn't fire again without a complete restart of GG. I was able to repeat this only with the platform in the scene. First time it stopped with 925 rounds left, second time 921. Weird. I tried the shotgun, no problems.

I just seem to be falling through anything I try and use as a platform, I make brief contact then collision seem to turn off, over water I fall straight through it, the platform moves but has no collisions and over land the platform moves but I don't, I kind of gave up thinking I was just doing something wrong but now you guys mention issues then maybe its all related

FBX import doesn't WORK!!!!
Bugged as HELL!!!

SOMETIMES the model is imported with texture but TEXTURE doesn't SHOW, model is BLACK.
THE SAME MODEL, RE-IMPORTED and THEN the model is not imported at all, not showing ....

i tried with 4 fbx models

1 shark
1 house
1 little shack
1 eye ball

Nothing works..... so i seriously THINK this update, is a real waste of time!

Lee wrote, that this part(!) from the update can have probles. fbx is not standarized. There are many different ways how data in fbx is stored and lee can't see every different cases. I think he covered the most used way. Don't know wich one this is.

But to declare the whole update a waste of time because one from many points in it is a little bit...strange.

the FBX import was not a main feature of this update the save and load was the main feature and that works, so the update wasnt that much of a waist of time, infact it added much needed functionally, please bear in mind the FBX importing is in early alpha and Lee has stated that there are many variations of FBX to consider, rather than ranting about it why not try something constructive and send Lee links to the models that are failing so he can take a look and maybe correct the issues you are having

thanks for the link to, I'll try some of those myself

something about the models from that site, GG is not liking the 3ds variations either, import the FBX into blender and export as .x, blender crashes, I tried 3 models all with the same result

dodgy models or gremlins in my system, not sure but I give up, GG is not entirely to blame here I recon!

Yeah, it couldn't possibly be user error, LOL. Btw, thanks for the link to that site! I had been there years ago but forgot about it. I love having resources! Btw the three models I downloaded work fine. It took a little work (5 minutes or so to figure it out) on the pipeline to get it in (import/export/import/export through 2 separate programs:Blender then Fragmotion). I only did this to maintain the fbx format. Kinda silly since I could have just exported as Directx at the start, but I just wanted to see if there was anything wrong with the importer. There really isn't. The many mutations of fbx are the problem.

@imothep85:

FBX import does work on certain models, There a quite a few flavors of this importer.

Just like every other model format trying to get into Game Guru. The models should be looked at for flaws first in a model program. Game Guru is not magically going to fix any model you throw at it. Many models you find on the web are not even scaled to there proper size. Common problem. So get a program like Blender Or Fragmotion and import these models into that and have a quick look at what problems may arise when importing them into Game Guru.

They will get into GameGuru, just dont really show the intuitive way that x file did and appear in the editor.
Characters are probably not going to work yet and complex animations either.

I cant see the mesh in the importer, but if I set the setting and save it off, the object does appear in Game Guru. You will need to edit the FPE file and add the texture call into it at the moment. Best success so far is with out embedded media for me coming from 3ds max.

Maybe pick a few non character FBX files and email them to Lee@thegamecreators.com and the textures also and let him adjust the converter.

This feature was not the main focus of the Update and was put in as an introduction to FBX importing.
There is a lot of work left to do with the importer and a million different styles of models that will be attempted to be imported. Have some patients please.

We are testing and are throwing fbx files at Lee from many different programs to get this feature ironed out by the 1.14 release.

Thank you.

As PartTimeCoder states .... Fbx import was not the main feature of this update or even expected.
It was just thrown in as a bonus .. Lee did explain there are many variations that he still has to work on.

hi
anybody experimenting with the fbx importer may find the old autodesk fbx version converter handy.
It is free to down load.

It lets you convert between different versions of fbx,.
You can also use it convert 3DS, DXF, OBJ, or DAE (COLLADA) to FBX format.

here is the link
http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/pc/item?siteID=123112&id=10775920

have fun

Quote: "NOTE: Important Rule; any user-script globals you want saving need to start with "g_""

In other words, the save/load system saves every variable that has name that starts with "g_"? How about tables?

Another thing. I had a script to stores default and custom player data (tables and variables some of which don't have "g_" in their name) in one level and restoring it in another. After the update (or maybe even before since I don't routinely check all my scripts after every update), lives started to go wrong:

After finishing one map with 3 lives, my script saves number 3 from g_PlayerLives to a file. In the next map it's reloaded with SetPlayerLives(e,v). But for some reason, player now has 13 lives. I checked the temp.dat and it says 3. Now I go back to the previous map with same script. Now player has 6 lives even though temp.dat says 13. So I'm assumed that behaviour of SetPlayerLives(e,v) function has been changed somehow. I checked global.lua and yeah, SetPlayerLives function doesn't contain "e" anymore. Then I checked another thing and yes, 13 is the entity number of my memory zone entity in map 2 and 6 is the entity number of my return zone entity in map 1.

I understand why you have removed the e because it was pointless to have it there in the first place, but please, don't just change global functions like this! I'm not a full time coder and I consider game making a fun hobby. During this spring it has been a bit less fun since every time I had time to play with GameGuru I had to start it by reading through my old scripts, GG change logs and updated version of global.lua to figure out why my game has stopped working this time.

And if you edit those, please be at least consistent. If SetPlayerLives(v) goes without e now, then why doesn't SetPlayerPower(e,v)?

Ps. Despite the above rant I'm mostly happy with the updates .

this is my last test, FBX doesn't work, when i IMPORT models, i don't see it in the fbx editor, i save and ingame i add the fbx object and i get this result.


SOMETIMES i can import the models with this wrong result, sometimes...no!!!

so i consider this like a VERY small preview of fbx import mode, also here the boxes are floating in the level, in 3ds max box are on the ground at zero point in the world center 0,0, the pivot point of the box in 3ds max is at the bottom center.

textures are not imported i don't know why.... but this is what i get, terrible, terrible....

Again, this was not something that was the big deal for this update.

This was thrown out to test this function out.

It does work from 3ds max and other programs, but some experimenting will have to be done.

Then you will need to edit the fpe file right now and also make the bmp file.

STILL A WIP!!!!!

I like the Interface. It's simple and easy. I thought that the Constructionbuilder would be next.

Not sure what imothep85 is referring to ....
Easy build editor is next ....
Perhaps he just means as development continues ?
No idea at all really

I'm not sure what he means either, but he said mentioned it earlier up this page also:

Quote: "im going also to test this new version.

I have some question about the evolution of Game-Guru for LeeBamber.

FIRST the next work you are going to achive is a better interface/options/functions of the engine itself for a better use when users have to use your engine and then create easily the game contents, thats what im interrested in, becaue to me actually the interface and optiosn are too poor, impossible to use and not very friendly user.

in that case can you tell us what options functions and others stuffs you are going to put in place?

i was testing the version 1.13 i created a scene with just 260 gravestones, i added grass and when i tried to launch the game BAM game-guru crashed so when you are telling us whe ca have 20.000 entities, if game guru crash with 260 entities....we are really far of 20.000.

and also, im going to change my steam review when the next update (better functions) are going to be added."

The next thing worked on (in addition to better FBX support) is the Easy Building Editor, which will enable users to quickly create a custom building that can be navigated by characters and the player with good collision. It will be a first version so the types of building you can create will be limited. Given that the only buildings you can use right now are fixed designs, having the ability to create your own rooms, corridors, stairs, doors and windows will really help your game design efforts and should be a lot of fun too.

@imothep85 : GameGuru will definitely evolve its interface over time, but only when the voting board gives me the opportunity to update and improve each section. I would be very interested to know which 'interface and options' are 'impossible to use' as I will be able to provide more feedback on this. Also, could you send me the gravestone level as an FPM and also zip up the standalone executable created from it so I can test the files you have at this end, thanks!

I would say the biggest change will be the introduction of the LUA GUI system and removal of the entity properties left-side panel, as the new system would provide a nicer looking graphical view with more options, better gadgets like sliders, wheels, etc. and the best part is that these new graphical portals to the LUA scripts are user-customizable so you can create your own or expand existing ones. Should be a great addition to GameGuru.

Hi all has anyone else noticed since the update I can no longer give the player a weapon via the start marker, I place a player marker and there is no option in the widget anymore for weapons or ammo?

EDIT: sorted was dodgy parental files :/

So... When will have the feature to add more levels? It's been two and a half years FPSCR has come out. It's getting time. We'll take a lot of time to make make games and try them too, so if we wait until Game Guru is ready... We'll only finish our games around year 2135.

PS: when my character jumps from a building, it almost crosses the map in a jump.

Add more levels than what? We've been able to add as many levels as we care to since at least beta 1.009 FPSC Reloaded, which came out in late 2014. LOL, that's a year and a half ago!

Click on your start marker, select properties, and change jump speed, gravity, and fall speed until it's how you want it.
