Extended FPS Template (Formally Quake Template)

Castle · December 25, 2015, 9:18am

This project is available to download on my TSU blog page.

TSU is a page that is a lot like if Youtube and Twitch had somehow been mixed with Facebook. I gain revenue for traffic I generate in essentially the same way I do for content created on Youtube. Thus building a following on TSU is just as important as building a following on Youtube or Twitch.

Latest blog posts and videos: Top is latest to oldest.
Warning: You will be prompted to make an account on TSU if you want to view content on TSU. (I recommend you make an account because the page is pretty cool anyway)

New version has been uploaded.

New release with more features and bug fixes. Follow the below links to download content.

Playable Version

For the Developer Version go to my TSU or my The8App.

The quake template was great cant wait to see the progress continue in extended fps! GL

Thanks! So far its working out well, its sooooo tempting to just try to make a game with it. the temptation grows as I improve and add things ><

It shall remain a pure example template until it is a super awesome and free example template!

New updates on a few things. I just recently hit a snag but so far the project is going smoothly in the grander scheme of things.

Guess at what point in the graph the client begins to fire his weapon!

Feels like a security room now. Considering a playable test version soon.

New Extended FPS Template Released!

Mr_SquarePeg · January 2, 2016, 5:45am

Just gave this a download - Working with this and HammUER Rignt now.

Will give feedback when I can

Amazing Castle, simply amazing

Castle · January 2, 2016, 8:38am

Next release I will make sure to comment everything to explain what is going on. I keep forgetting to that.

I also MAY begin to mold this into a game I want to make. But I plan to continue to release new versions of this as I go.

My goal is to basically ruin this market. Make it so easy to make a old school fps that it just becomes a **** joke. Wish me luck!

just out of interest do you have a dl link that Doesn’t require a tsu account

Castle · January 2, 2016, 8:49pm

I dont plan to. Though I have set the page up to be visible to the public. I was later informed that you only get X number of free page views before it asks you to make an account.

I would really much prefer to have a “Enjoy this persons content? Make a TSU account so you can follow!”

At the moment there are no real other options for places that allow me to monetize like YouTube does with videos though.

I am treating it like the Twitch or YouTube of social networking at the moment.

Geodav · January 2, 2016, 10:18pm

ok wish you the best

Castle · January 2, 2016, 10:33pm

Oh, there may be a point where this gets on Steam or the Market place. At that point then yes. But that will be a long time from now and will probably have a pay wall.

Having a bit of a problem with the Extended FPS Template -

Only part of the HUD shows and an BP failed to load to a struct when I load the Extended FPS template Initially.

Any advice on how I can solve this problem?

I will upload images in a moment.

Edit: Ok, The HUD works now and I think I know what I did wrong…

I renamed the .rar file and that caused some problems apparently. It works fine now

Castle · January 2, 2016, 10:57pm

A lot of the hud wont be their until you pickup armor ammo and weapons.

I have that same error and I am not sure what is causing it however it does not seem to be causing any issues as the thing it complains about is working fine. It’s really weird! I would actually like to have someone explain to me what is going on with that myself!

Mr_SquarePeg · January 2, 2016, 11:23pm

Hey Castle,

I got the HUD problem fixed. See my previous comment on how I did it.

I really like the template so far.

Here are some suggestions to take it even further -

Some basic form of Gibbing system similar to this
Some Basic AI Similar to that found in DOOM, Quake, etc. I personally want to make a Single player / Cooperative game with this template.
Document and Comment all the things!

Castle · January 2, 2016, 11:31pm

HA! I like that gibbing system! I do plan to have dead bodies and gibbing supported but this template will not be focusing on visuals. The game I plan to make from this is going to use only icons for graphics in fact.

I also plan to do Doom style AI and I too am planning to make a single player cooperative project from this template too! The next version will support some new features like a reworked weapons system and a completely new spawn system ill talk about in more detail soon.

Keep me posted on what you come up with though! It would be so cool to see a Doom and Quake style game crop up from this! I would really like to play it!

Castle · January 3, 2016, 9:17am

Spawns and Guns!

anonymous_user_c237df01 · January 3, 2016, 10:01pm

Nice work Castle, and fast! Im having a hard time keeping up

Edit: Just read the tsu post! The spawn system sounds great!
