FPS Creator

Who here has experience with FPS Creator and would you recommend it as an easy way to create a FPS. How fast can you build, or import from 3DWS, a small level and start shooting bad guys? Anyone know the minimum requirements?

I plan on running this on an Acer Aspire One laptop, which runs 3DWS really well.

Specs of the One:
Intel Atom 1.6 Ghz
1 GB RAM
Graphics - Intel GMA 950 224 MB
Resolution: 1024 x 600
Running XP Home, DX 9c

Note: I'm not talking about FPS Creator X10

FPS Creator runs really slow even on my 2.2GHZ, GeForce 7800 PC, so somehow I doubt it will run well on your Acer Aspire One, but you could always give the demo a try.

I remember it running very slowly on my machine, at the time it would have been a 7900gs card and a gig of ram.

I was unimpressed with the product in general as well, only a single enemy on screen at one time (maybe two), with bad AI.

The demo is pretty cool, my brother made a whole level in a relatively small amount of time. He has trouble keeping his mind on one project for more than a day or two so it must have been fast!

Shite....

I was there with the original 3D Construction Kit back in the day!!!

If you wanna be a programmer... f*** this shite an do it properly...

And if anyone wants a real argument about this, register at syntaxbomb.com, pm me and I'll literally scream at you!!!

I tried the demo and wouldn't work because of DX issues. I want a very simple yet functional FPS engine that will allow me to create levels and enable me to play the level very shortly after. I have been hearing good things about Counter Strike Source and again ask if anyone has experience.

The FPS Creator packs do have some handy models so I will probably get some of them and work with my own code.

I'm speaking from ignorance here but doesn't Unreal 2004 ship with an editor - lots of mods have been made with that?

Dabhand: You better be careful unless you want to get banned.

all i know is it needs vista and dx10 to run

i tried their older 3D game maker god that was awful worse than SEUCK

IF you do make a game with it then you are limiting your target audience to vista dx10 rigs that dont crawl like tortoises or give frame rates that look like they could trigger epileptic fits (ok frame rates and crawling are basically the same i just wanted to have an epileptic tortoise in the post ;) )

i dont know if it brings anything new into the bag that level editors/mod communities cant do with exsisting games and engines, but ive been told their dark matter CD's are the only reason to own such tripe

I have try FPS Creator demo before and it is shit!
You better off making own FPS!

> all i know is it needs vista and dx10 to run


Unless they stopped selling it, there is an older version that does not require DX10. I would not recommend it though.

oh aye forgot about that one
i just remember the online videos for fpsx10 or whatever they called it, but if thats bad then id expect its older version to be utter tosh too

I had the original fps creator. It was garbage. I still enjoyed messing with it though. I had more fun coding the ai with their scripting language then trying to make an actual game.

my brothers god children had their even older 3d game maker and that was the ideal age group for them, sure they may have tried marketing it to older people who hankered after making a fps

FPSC is Dark Basic pro so take the DBP min requirements and raise them by 80% for AI, physics and shader usage.
