This dumb freakin engine is crap!

Well I finally figured out how to solve the loading problem. Some dumb ace who wrote the templates that were updated to the new engine standard of syntax decided to put commands in for finding the paths to where the scripts were that doesn't even exist. (At least according to the script editor and the engine those commands don't exist.) I had to rewrite stuff. So it loads the script but displays error messages because I don't have any actors, go figure.

And now I must offer a big apology to the engine makers,(except to the person who made the new template scripts), and all of you who dared to read my post, becasue I WAS/AM (depending on your preference) A VERY BIG, STUPID, MEAN, UGLY, DUMB ACE! Although none of you will probably respect me for the rest of the time I dare to post. At least I apologized, for what it's worth.

*sarcasm* Right, nice going, go insult the ones who can help you out and the one that made those templates ... pretty clever */sarcasm*

Those templates just use a wrong path and I thought some beta commands, so what, big deal .. Only thing you could blame the maker of those templates is that he forgot to tell that, however he won't update them back, but will wait for the latest beta to be released, correct me when I'm wrong.

STILL stating that it doesn't work and the engine is crap, just because you don't get it to work, and even claim that the engine only works for people who shelled out 1000$ is really amazingly stupid. Thanks for the amusement.

Cheers

man oh man! don't get yer panties all in a bunch ! check out the tutorials + slow down. the engine works fine.. it won't do all the work for you though.

No it wasn't sacasm. I was truly apologizing. How old are you anyway PHeMoX? I was apologizing to everyone except the person who doesn't know how to program correct paths into the templates they make. And since you think I'm sarcastic I WILL NOT apologize for implying you are 2 year old. I did infact admit I was a dumb ace. People who take offense when it is not intended are fools and those who take offense when it is intended are greater fools. And I certainly don't want an engine to do the work for me. If I wanted that I would have gone and bought the FPS Creator. I can read the advertisements on the 3d game studio webpage. I know I am going to have to work at making a game if I buy something that has an editor for models, scripts, and worlds. I just want the templates to work so I can learn from them. I want to know how the code relates to eachother and if I can't run it I can't figure out what it's doing exaclty.

...So anyway I apologized and I'm learning stuff about the engine and the scripting language now. So let's all move on. And if anyone thinks I'm still being sarcastic That's not my problem. If anybody wants to continue to insult me, fine. I deserve it for being rude. Obviously none of you have been extremely frustrated at that moment in time as I was.

Learning how to code from a fully done project would be a nightmare. Your best bet is to learn from the AUM (look at the magazine link at the bottom of the page). That magazine will teach you much. It's where I learned.

This is a common mistake users tend to make. Even I've made the mistake of forgetting to have to save my level in order to even use or create a script. I do agree that there should be a note in WED for the part of adding a script that says "in order to create or use a script for your level, you must save your level first".

Gamestudio is one of the best 3D application-development tools around and you almost can't beat the price. Even in a level with 100,000 visible polygons, you can still get past 70 frames per second, even on my somewhat old Radeon 9600 XT without updated drivers.

So, now that you've learned how to save is 3DGS still the world's dumbest engine? And, there's nothing wrong with the path section of the new templates nor the ace that wrote them(Doug). If there is then it was only because he was thinking about Wizo3000 when he coded it.

Please do not insult others. Something like this is common with beginners (and partly due to WED's design as it is).

I suggest Conitec to add a small program : "Quick tour for beginners" or
something like that. The program will popup when WED is run, which introduce
the basic knowledges of building a game. Also add a check box (Don't show again)
at the lower left corner to stop it running next time.

Or maybe, as other programs do, have some sort of "tip of the day" system where a collection of very useful tips (such as keeping models between 2000 and 5000 polygons for the greatest detail and fastest frame rate, or that 256x256 textures render the fastest). In my 2D game, there's a built-in interactive tutorial that explains how things are in it. There are 13 lessons, but they are all quite short.

Why_Do_I_Die, please follow the forum rules at the top of the forum. Insulting and getting around the censoring filter aren't allowed.

Way too many personal attacks to let this thread live. I'm closing it now.

Remember, programming is easier when everybody relaxes and learns.
