i happend to be searching the internet, as i usually am doing from 5-9 on a daily basis...and i came accross this advertisement that sparked my intuitive imaginiation (wow big words...what do they mean ?)

ne ways...heres what the ad said...

First Person Shooters are one of the most enduringly popular game genres. Now, for the first time, anyone can make their own action packed FPS games without any programming or 3D modelling knowledge.

Bringing a new benchmark to game creation, the innovative and multi-featured FPS Creator has been three years in development and offers an easy, yet flexible editing environment where you can achieve high quality gaming result in no time at all.

sounds great doesnt it...is it real ? can i (someone who has no clue how to make a good 3d render) actually make a first person shooter game...that will look like a game!

im still reading up on this program...not exactly sure what it all does...

heres the link if youd like to check it out for yourself...

Hi...

actualy editor of that kind are good for learning, but if you want make game without programing skills I would rather sugest looking at Realm Forge GDK (engine based at Ogre 3D) to get better results, there is its [page at DevMaster.net] and their [homepage]... Best things about it are that it is fully Open Source, contains all needed editors, physics, and is using not best but preaty good technology like pixel/vertex-shaders and preaty soon normal maps... If you want to know what it can do, look at this [screenshot] (taken without antialiasing, but this is for show how it looks without it) where you can find nice refractions/reflections/waves in pool... I would say very nice... also one more time - remember - this is Open Source project :rolleyes:

There's probably some catch to it. Hey if you want to make a first person shooter. Just use Game Maker, you can find it at http://www.gamemaker.nl , anything from FPS, to puzzles to applications can be made, it's a quick download to. I recommend you try that first.

Another cool low-programming FPS maker is known as Reality Factory. Visit it's site at http://www.realityfactory.ca

I think this would be a really good idea. If i could try it i would, buti cannot download it :( so if your going to try to make a fps game then use the download off that site.

Hmm, looks pretty good.

Ive dabbled in gamemaker, mostly sprite swaps of clasic games. Its fairly easy to use but I have no idea how it would handle pollygonal worlds for an fps. The most ove seen for it was a shady version of doom.


Anyway good luck and tell me about whatever prog works the best.

That kind of stuff is not something that professionals use(ovbiously).
Some great experience would be joining a mod team or making a mod for a game such as Half Life 2.

O and also a place for great tutorials to get started is on hl2world.com, the tutorials are good quality and have excellent links too.

Hmm, i dont think that FPS Creator is really good, becouse you need to pay for the full version, ofcourse i understand the creator of the program, but i dont have any visa or paypal so i dont like payments that isent sended home to my house :P

Mon Jul 4, 2005    Reply    New Discussion   

You can use Game maker to make 3D games like FPS, but they'll be like Doom(the original one). That Realm Forge GDK however looks pretty... I'll have to find time to get and play around with that.

BTW, how user friendly is that GDK thing? Did you yourself make what was in your screenshot? Do you have any othe examples or should I just check out the website? :P

If one wants to make their own FPS, one should first find an engine to work with. Unless you wish to code your own engine from scratch(which requires an extremely advanced programmer) you should start with a ready-made engine(such as the CRX engine, check out http://red.planetarena.org). The CRX engine is based off the GPL'd id source code and you can use the Q2 map programs to construct maps. All one has to do is make the maps and link them with a single player campaign in the engine. It's not easy to make a legit FPS, takes alot of time and knowledge and hard work, but its fun. Good luck!

Then again, you could always use 3DS MAX 7 or Maya <whatever version is out now>, which will deliver very high quality graphics. Altough I am not sure if 3DS or Maya can actually be used to create actual scenarios, or plots. But I do know that some of the highest quality games and movies are made with it. The only downsides that i see with it is the price tags(ITS IN THE BLOODY THOUSANDS!), and the fact that it can be very hard to lear for a newbie in this field of computers.

Yep you can use Max for Levelediting.
Splinter Cell 2 or 3 offered that possibility.
And of course other AAA Games which I don't remember the name also makes use of max.
Well, if you want to do something for HL(2) Max is not the best solution, it's better to use the default editor.
HL(2) uses a different editing sheme and does not allow us to use max (it simply isn't designed to be used in Max)
For example Splinter Cell offers a whole SDK, where you can place entities/lights right in Max
Well yeah as mentioned the only downside is that it is unaffordable for the casual ones :/

Game Maker is built more specific for the development of 2d Games. 3d Support in Game Maker is poor in power, I suggest other tools for FPS design.

Look.

Game creators inhibit creativity and makes it extremely hard to produces original game play. If you want to make a game, learn how to program. Using a programing language like C++ will enable you to make whatever type of game you want. The extra effort to go out in learn a languages will be worth it.

I downloaded FPS Creator but never got around to using it, then my trial expired. Lol.

And Game Maker, you can make good games with that? I've seen like pacman and such.

If anybody has their own created games by FPS creator or Game Maker PLEASE SHOW ME! :rolleyes:

Ok...

FPS creator is an awsome program and is definatly worth it's cost. It does allow you (if you spare the time) to create awsome FPS games. Although the Game Creators say that no scripting knowledge is required, if you do want to make a commercial quality game, then you will need to do some scripting but (honestly) it is harly any and it is really simple to get the hang of.

Best of all, every month or so, the developers release new expansion packs which allow you to (for a low cost) add to your list of fully animated and scripted weapons and segemnts (walls, doors, etc). You can use all of these in you games and they are awsome!!!

Ok, here is just an example, a fully scripted M4A1 Assult Rifle with (you can choose these upgrades for each gun as you put it inot your game) underslung grenade launcher, holographic scope, iron sight and laser targeting beam. All the reloading scripts for the clip and the GL are done for you. (Check out the attachement pic).

However, the graphics for games created with FPS creator were limited, however that has all changed with the new version, FPS Creator X10. No Joke man, it allows you to create seamless FPS's with... (wait for it...) DX10 graphics... Want a co-incidence? It's released the day I weite this, November 30 2007.

However, the specs for the new verion (X10) are insane and include; Windows Vista, At least 1 GB RAM (preferably 2GB) and (I'm serious) an nVidia 8800. That cancels out 99.99% of the population so most people are still using the origional (where game creator is still releasing patches and new weapon sets, and promise to be for a long time). This application is on the top of my wishlist, and I can't wait till I can get it...

The website for FPSC X10 can be found here: www.fpscreatorx10.com
The origional FPS creator website can be found here: www.fpscreator.com

As for a game created with this engine and application. A good example is the game Beyond Life. This was made quite a while ago with the origional FPS creator so the quality of games able to be created has imporved by loads. As well as this, way more weapons have been allowed for download and the patches have made the whole thing better and more possilble.

A video of this game can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOibh3CzLrY

If your interested, I'd recomend subscribing to the Game Creators monthy newsletter.

Wait, did I tell you your game can have up to 50 missions and you can make multiplayer? Oh, yeah you can also sell the games you make royalty free...

For more information about the gamecreators and their products check out their website, here: www.thegamecreators.com

This may sound like almost too good to believe, but trust me, I have the origional FPS creator and it is awsome. As long as you have the patience and the time, you can create pretty much everything you can think of.

I learned quite a bit of C, but haven't done any graphics programming. Does anyone know where I can find a good tutorial for that?

FPS CREATOR
Make Your Own FPS Game ?!?!?!?!

Ok now one do not use the games like "Game Creator".. FPS CReator is a good designing program that is quite easy to use...Just because you have the option of not coding in it does not make it bad...

Ive now been working on the games..But instead trying to create software patches to export .Max files (3ds max) into fps creator...

It would be nice as I can create some awesome enities in that...

I still tryin the code, I know how to programme but its in a different language as I'm used to ... Does anyone know the actual coding language... I think in X10... You can change the FPI Script easier than the others but you need Vista... I really want X10... Ive only been able to sell one game... In total thats reached a gross profit of �450.00/

Would anyone like to help create an open air lan farm? it will be good for creating the games...If you would...Or just like to reply.. Send to lewisstevens1@aol.Com ... I would like to get a bigger open air lan farm and if we could do that... We could start workin on the themes and have conferences... I would need a valid email adress to contact you on.,..

Many thanks

Ah, FPS Creator. In late 2006 and early 2007 I was always trying to program games. Usually they were 3rd person RPG's, however one time I decided to try and make an FPS. It was easier than you'd think. This program I also tried at a time close to what I previously mentioned. It's easier than programming from scratch, but the engine is hard to work with. You'd be better off just making your own FPS engine in gamemaker or if you are experianced, C++.

well you can get the free version of FPS Creator but it comes with a lot less features and you probably wont enjoy it a much but its free here. On the actual site scroll to the bottom and you will see free FPS creator download or something like that

I've been using FPS Creator for a few years, definately worth learning. You can make an fps game right away if you want without any learning what so ever, or you can start studying the scripting language, make your own models and media etc. and really make a high quality game, if I were you I would go for it and get this software!

it is good to try programming games and create them...
many people i know tried to make one,but never actually did a good one which we could play together....

It looks decent. I am going to bookmark this and try it later when I have time or when I am bored. FPS Shooters are one of the hardest type of games to program. It's probably better if you learn C++ and make your own engine though.

Its Credible but not made for...Make Your Own FPS Game

It is a credible program, I ran the free version which is very limited on a Windows Vista Home Basic SP2 with 512mb of RAM, but it was slow, and the debugging mode was slow in most parts of the game, it was easy to use, but very time consuming to test it, the compiling of the games components took up more than half of the time to do, but all in all it is credible, but not recommended for Vista users that have less than 1gb of RAM
