Well. I'm in the dark here.
The editor can't load a map.
Maybe there is something with the Maps.dat file or maybe you gave it a map in a wrong format. Check if it's about 300kb in size.
As I mentioned, worst-case scenario - you'll need to redo your maps by hand. You can just delete everything in Maps.dat. Everything except maps is the same, so it's just them that might give you headaches.

I had this error yesterday. Luckily I knew which image was causing the problem as it happened just after I added a new enemy. I removed the maps from the project files that I knew had the enemy. Then reloaded the project without the maps and it worked! Then added the maps back to the project folder.
yes this method is best for debugging screw ups. i do it the same way if i have these errors.
even if you don't know which image is wrong, you can trial and error it by backing up the relevant dat file (and maps.dat) and deleting the stuff in the dat. so you can try getting rid of the stuff in maps.dat, then get rid of stuff in textures.dat. if the project opens, you know it is a texture that is named wrong and can compare the backed up textures.dat to the actual images in the textures folder. if it still doesnt open, then it is a misnamed image in decorations or enemies.
I start game. I save game. Then load game. All enemies which were woken up - disappear. All enemies which weren't - are getting duplicated. All items like ammo, weapons or health duplicates too. So where only one enemy should be standing - now there is two of them. But all duplicated objects still occupy the same single block, so you can't notice it until you pick items or woke enemies.
When I die and respawn - this doesn't happen though.
P.S. Also - projectiles sometime can't hit player if he's crouching.
there are alot of bugs, this is true. these unhandled exception usually occur because a filename has been changed, or contains special characters.
i have been sticking with efpse despite the bugs, and learning how to avoid these types of errors as much as possible.
but i do understand your frustration. good luck.
have you tried coppercube? it is much less buggy but also not as easy to use or intuitive. it is still probably the easiest "general use" 3d engine.
So, i tried to use variables in the map scripts.
The game just crashes on loading the second map.
Script in first map:
global.value=1
second map:
if $global.value == 1 {
player teleport 5 24}
map return
EDIT:
Forget it. i had a wrong formating.
But even with the right formating, it does not teleport the player to the coordiantes.
second map:
if $global.value == 1 {
player teleport 5 24
}
map return
Last EDIT:
So, i figured it out. but its kind of janky.
Hub map has NOTHING in the map script an NO player start!
load the map, without start object and figure out the rough location (sadly its not x0 y0 more between x3 y3 and x4 y4).
Put some triggers at that coordiantes with a script like this:
player teleport 5 24 //initial starting position
if $global.value == 1 { //global variable is set in the second map
player teleport 19 4 //position of the player after exiting second map
}
map return
In my case the Map i want to go to and back to the hub is a bar.
In the map script of the bar set the global variable to 1
global.value=1
Put a trigger at the exit of the bar to load the Hub map.
it will probably be a while before the next update.
i am not the most knowledgeable of those here, but i check back in several times a day and i have a few months of experience with this engine. if you can post error log next time it happens i can possibly help solve it.
did you manually edit any dat files? or change the name of any image file? these errors are usually the result of efpse not being able to find something because it's not there anymore. there are some methods for manually debugging that i can share.
dont give up. it can be very frustrating trying to figure out the intricacies of the engine but some very good games have already been made using it in it's current state.
it could be broken. i stopped playing around with experimental branch when jessicochan recommended to not use it and instead wait for the features to be merged into the stable branch with the next update.
it looks like you are spawning at x y z which should theoretically work. have tried changing the third coordinate and see if it pops up anywhere?
sounds like it's broken.
have you tried placing your enemy in a jail cell and moving it to where you want it to go? i know in the current stable version, spawnat doesnt work with keys, hps, ammos, weapons, etc. but if you place them off your play area you can "fake spawn"
so if you place an enemy at an off tile and move it the specified number of units to where you want it to go, it should go there. there are 64 "units" in a tile.
so if you want your enemy to "fake spawn" at tile 20 21, and you have a "jail cell" off on the corner of your map where you hold the things you want to "fake spawn". let's say you have nothing in the top left corner of your map, so you place an enemy at tile 1 1
64 x 20 = 1280
64 x 21 = 1344
replace your spawnat script command with:
entity move 1 1 1280 1344
that should move the entity you placed in the jail cell at tile 1 1 to tile coordinate 20 21.
this is an inelegant solution, but it works. atleast i think it does ;)
maybe one of the other guys here who has more knowledge can give you a better solution or a better answer. i have used this method and it worked for me, atleast with hp and keys. it should work with enemies and decorations to, but i dont think i have tested it with those.
EDIT: since you are using experimental build, you would need a z coord added to that.....
entity move 1 1 0 1280 1344 0
maybe?
that worked, actually, entities can be moved as a workaround indeed. also realized how KeshaFilms used the "light move" command with the same coordinate system, you can offset or "spawn"/"despawn" them too. thank you!
a bit unrelated, but is it possible to make triggers play sounds even after the player has been returned to the game with "map return"? currently having "map return" in a script makes played sounds cut out as the script finishes. are sounds in scripts broken, or is there different functionality for that? trying to make a one-time noise play when a player goes somewhere
afaik sounds in scripts during map runtime aren't broken they just aren't a feature at all.
are you saying that you have a trigger run a script and it is playing a sound and it's working, just getting cut off?
if that is the case, try adding
timeout #
after the line executing the sound, and replace the # with the number of seconds that your sound is. this should theoretically halt the execution of the next line in the script the specified number of seconds, allowing the sound to finish playing.
to make a sound a play without a script at all, you can specify the sound instead of specifying a script file
you gotta launch it from the itch.io app
unfortunately if you want to then go and open the stable version, you will have to launch it from the itch.io app
basically whichever one you launched last from the itch.io app, that is the one that will get the correct credentials. you wont need to launch that version from the itch.io app any longer, but if you wanna switch you gotta launch the other one from itch.io app and bounce back and forth using itch.io app
i hope that makes sense
Nowadays it shouldn't be a problem to get the source code of an application! The question is what you do with it, as it is someone else's intellectual property and you may wonder whether it is fair to use the code for anything without permission. For example, I somehow managed to get the source code, but it wasn't easy! And I can't do anything with it anyway, and I don't want to. Anyway, I just started learning to program in C#. And I'm making a dictionary program! :D
Sorry! I use a translation program, and unfortunately it doesn't translate as it should!So, I thought I'd let the developer know in case he doesn't know about this...If you know about it, fix it, if not, send me a Private Message and I'll explain it to him, but not here! If I write the solution here now, it could ruin his "business".
You can find most of it in the EFPS wiki
https://ragnarrandom.com/uefpsew/index.php/Old_Manual_Scripting
The last Version has the best options to make your game look good (more options for custom modifiers, lights and entities on different floors). But Triggers don´t work right.
The Version before works the best, most things work as intended but you don´t have the better custom modifiers and all entities work on just one 2D plane (floor 1).
Hello, guys, help me please!
I'm having a problem displaying weapons! Sorry in advance for my English, I don't speak it very well. Problem: I set all the weapon sprites, animations and when I go to calibrate the X, Y and Scale axes, the weapon hands just don't show up. I'm attaching screenshots below, thank you all for your help in advance!
what is the size of your weapon?
i do this method to simplify my weapon sprite creation:
i make all my weapon sprites 320x180 and place the weapon in that sprite as i want it to appear on the screen
this makes it fit exactly as i want it to at scale 1, and i dont really need to fiddle with the position. setting the y position to about 30 to 50 compensates for the weapon bobbing. it also makes it easier to align my weapon animation frames cuz the images i am making represent exactly what is on the screen.
if your weapon sprites are huge, then at scale 1 they are just too big for you to see them without adjusting the scale to 0.1 or some such. just play with the scale if you are adamant about having large sprites for the weapons.
you are welcome
there is much with this engine that is learning tricks and such, and trial and error. the guy who made it has a fulltime job and documentation is an ongoing work in progress. i started a wiki to provide community documentation but there is not much there and its outdated, its all from the old version. just keep grinding, when you dont understand how or why something works, ask and if one of us knows we will try to help. and backup your project folder regularly, it can be easy to brick a project if you are not careful and learn how the engine works.
once you get to know the engine, it's actually pretty easy to un-brick tho
every project i have bricked has been because the engine was looking for files that didn't exist anymore because i screwed up, and you can "un-brick" that by editing dat files
but editing dat files is definetely not recommended
and i hear you on the weapon sprites not needing to have all the empty space. i just find it makes it much easier when actually making the weapon sprites, i can just add layers in paint.net and onion skin, knowing what its gonna look like on the screen, and i don't have to scale it in the editor cuz it already sits where i want it to sit. i imagine it wastes some memory, but i have never noticed any impact and its become a standard part of my workflow
There are many reasons why your game can't be played in test mode.
Most probably - you have windows defender restricting it from launching an EXE from the editor. You can actually just use a bat file (or create a shortcut) and put "-file YOURPROJECTNAME" as argument to launch your project. The exe should already be in the "projects" folder. If there is none - that is the reason for being unable to test your game.
this is a known issue.
try using custom modifiers and place them on the transparent textures.
i managed to get a transparent textured fence to work using modifiers
also: mad props to you for using my hand in your test game. it is a hand that i am very fond of, it has been been my.... right hand man..... for 38 years now. gotta hand it to ya.
I've figured out the problem! Though I don't know how to solve it. It only happens when you set the weapon's magazine to 0 (to remove reloading). When you have reloading enabled, it starts your gun fully reloaded on the next level and keeps the correct total ammo. My guess is that when reloading is disabled, the total ammo and magazine ammo are read as the same thing by the engine, and sets your "magazine" to one stack, overwriting your total ammo.
Hello again! I have ran into a new problem.
I need help with scaling the sprites for the weapons. I have no problem changing where the sprite should be on the screen with the X and Y position.
However when changing the scale of the sprite/gun I can only get it to be super tiny by having the scale on something brutal like 0.00999. I dont seem to able to
get it any bigger than that before it dissapears from the screen for being too big I pressume?
I have tried putting it in munus. But the software seems to crash as well if I try to put the scale in minus . Like for example ¨ -50¨ or such.
Any help/ recommendation on scale or what to do?
Thanks!
your weapon image much be huge
and no, you cant scale to a negative value
try manually changing the scale of you weapon sprites in an image editor, this should make it easier to reposition and scale in the editor.
a huge weapon sprite serves no real purpose, it would be scaled down in the editor anyways and is just a waste of space and memory to load.
this is my method for creating weapon sprites easily:
make a 320x180 image canvas and place your weapon sprite in the canvas where you want it to be on screen, then offset the y axis in the editor to compensate for weapon bobbing
This is what's confusing. I checked my textures and everything was a couple hundred kb (whole textures folder was 40mb). Made a new one recently where the entire textures and assets were around 6mb total and got the same problem. Keeps happening and being temperamental and once it happens the project simply won't open ever again.
Always get this message: something went horribly wrong and an unhandled exception has been caught. The editor will close now. Log was saved to error.log.
ok sorry if im late but
the project is located in
C:\Easy FPS Editor\Projects
the games exe is saved to the root of that folder
while the actual games files are saved in
C:\Easy FPS Editor\Projects\MyGameHere
(MyGameHere being an example folder for where the game is located)
when i create my maps and add weapons it starts up fine but the textures are kinda screwed up some of them work but some of them dont and its very buggy (and sometimes the graphics screw up)
then the game starts crashing when i try to load the map forcing me to make save the game and try again
then even after saving the game i cant load the games files because there corrupt and it exits out of the engine (showing the error i showed you a few days ago from the log) forcing me to have to start over
this game is in its earliest stages of development because of that and i tried everything i tried resizing the textures to 130x130 i tried saving the game, i tried using compatibility mode for windows 7 i nearly tried it all
currently using windows 10 updated could that play a part ..working will start perfectly then moment i save it will work but after sometime gets corrupt same thing when i updated a custom modifier.So tried backing up the project then trying to reopen it still also ended up corrupt. noticed others are able to make games without this issue.will appreciate the pointers may what i need to counter check or the folder need to be place in a specific part on the pc eg programs or drive c

Hello, there is a problem on the engine if you put transparent textures, then the game will not be displayed on the floor , not the wall , not the bottom and top is not displayed
