Hmmm... I never imagined the client not working on 32 bits platforms. And it has Win7 or higher as a requirement.
What is the problem exactly?
You can try looking for a version that will work with your system.
As of now there is no other ways of running the pro version without client. I will work on a better way of checking for authorization.
Maybe you can find help on the itch app community board: https://itch.io/board/12011/itch-app-development
(btw. I'm just another user, but I'm trying to help ;)
Well. Problems with itch client are often out of my league. So unfortunately I don't have a slightest idea what the problem might be except for:
-Itch client doesn't support 32bits systems (which would be strange)
-You don't have necessary frameworks or libraries
-It just doesn't like you
Putting the last one (which is obviously a joke) aside, your best call is to try reaching itch.io support to help you with the client. As PixelPauer said, you can try reaching them on the board. If it's not successful, you can send a screenshot here and we'll try to understand what exactly is the problem.
No, those are not really bugs.
As I explained in a different topic, you can't place steps higher than the first floor: https://itch.io/t/1906651/stairs-on-different-floors
The transparency problem is a common problem with 3d projects and I'm still trying to at least make it not as obvious. Note though that there might never be a solution as it is not a straightforward and trivial task. For now the only decent solution is to use models instead of tiles for transparent walls. The manual for models is on the go and will be added soon.
No, this is the right topic. I just decided not to create two separate communities for what is essentially the same project.
Thanks, I will try using the models, when the manual arrives.
Also tried using the custom modifiers but it's applied to all floors so I can't add a ceiling (for buildings with 2+ floors for example). Is there a way to use custom modifiers for specific floors only or will this be added in a future update, if it isn't available now?
Yes, this feature will be added later. In fact it is already in there you just need to manually edit the .dat file by adding "floor 1" etc to each block but it will be overriden by next editing of custom tiles. I will add the option in the editor in the future as it's not tested with 9 floors (it was made when there were only 4 floors available).
So I tried to delete everything to the bare minimum, but it doesn't start for me.
I uploaded the project files...maybe you guys can find the cause of the problem.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TRn6uDXDB7F47GPWDpaml-QqNp-bFGme/view?usp=shari...
Okay, I passed it through debugger and there aare a few tiles and textures you set but then deleted.
I'm not sure why this happens as I've been adding checks here and there but this is the problem:
The engine tries to load tiles and textures that just don't exist anymore. Try adding some textures and a few custom tiles and see where they appear on the map. Then remove them.
I found something (not really a bug) which could boost performance.
I loaded 3 lava textures (c1, c2 and c3) and opened the texture animation configurator.
The animation is played quite fast, so i added the same frames more often.
When doing so, the level needs much more longer to load.
The 3 lava textures are 25kb png files with 128x128.
Hmmmm.... that is.... fascinating...
Okay, there might be a reason for that. And that is your mouse pollrate. I'm not sure how exactly to fix it if that is the problem, so we'll have to work together on this one.
Try to use a different mouse for starters. That would eliminate at least one reason for this problem to occur.
Also, check if frame limit is enabled (set to 60). A very high framerate might also cause this problem.
Hey, I just got an idea on what might be happening. Try downloading MESA from here: https://fdossena.com/?p=mesa/index.frag
And then put the provided dll in a folder with a built game.
See if it helps
Yeah, so... there really is no good fix for that. The only problem I found that could be raleted is your mouse. You probably have one of those "high DPI-high polling rate-gaming mouse". Which is good for games but bad for development. Because the poll rate is so high it just clogs events stack. Anyway, I'll try to do something about it but so far the only way is to try changing your mouse to something with a sane number of DPI (like an office mouse) and poll rate and check if it helps.
There is another probable culprit and that is a gamepad. Or rather the lack of it. Try pluging in a gamepad if you have one.
Floors are exclusively for ceilings if it's on other floors. I may add a feature to add floors but that might cause some troubles with how it all works. So, you need to place a wall on the first floor there. The map building is essentially 2d, as in Doom, so no rooms above rooms explicitly allowed. You can place a custom tile though, no problems. Just wait for the next update when I add a feature allowing selecting which floor a custom tile will affect.
I copied the images into the decorations and enemies folder, but the editor does not display them. I have tried everything.
There should be a button to import the file I think. For simplicity.
Thanks for the timeout fix, it no longer shows an error!
I have some ideas!
There could be a setting on the blocks to set it to be solid or permeable bkokk, so for example you could even make a pool in the game and it would be like being in water. :D
Plus, it would be cool if you could animate the sprite of it.
Is it possible to write a script that before starting a game, gives the command to play a video in ogg format?
If you know a script for this, please share it with me! :)
Copying images is not enough. You need to add an enemy in "Enemies editor" or a decoration in "Decorations editor". You can also import sprites in there.
You can animate textures by using "Textures Animation" in "Advanced Tools".
And no, I will never add a video support. This is just not something I'm very willing to put myself through.
1) Nothing is wrong here. It is actually working exactly as it should. You change entity name but you don't provide it with new sprites. Editor doesn't rename your sprites for you. It also doesn't clear sprites when you remove decoration just in case you removed it by mistake. I'll try adding something like an auto renaming.
2) Perhaps. I'll check it.
3) It is. Probably. But I won't even try. It will definitely introduce new bugs and I don't want that.
About the renaming issue. I’m not concerned with the engine not doing it automatically so much as I am concerned about it completely flipping out without notice. It took me a bit of trial and error to understand the issue. It also happens when you have any sort of space in any name, which is understandable, but still strange - and it also makes the project “corrupt” unless you manually edit the data
I think a simple check for spaces (abd removing them if nessasary) and a notification about changing sprite names is a good first step. “Breaking” a project because you dared having a space or changing a name is unintuitive as hell.
Also - will you provide a default font sheet the same way you provided a default numbers sheet? I don’t know how to change the game’s font - there is no default template to work off.
I swear I read the entire thing and couldn’t find it. Maybe I’m just blind :)
Thanks for that heads up about a TTF file - I thought it required a sprite sheet the same way the numbers are. In general (I feel like I’m asking a lot in one thread lol) I would also suggest clarifying the file type the engine expects from certain fields. I didn’t know that little tidbit for instance.
(Edit: welp I tried importing a TTF file and the engine crashed. It did create the proper files in the Fonts folder though. Error log)
The editor applies a filter. It will never let you choose a file it can't use. As for the error - are you sure you've been trying to import _font_ and not an image?
UPD: Nevermind. I checked it, there is a bug. I fixed it, so it will be fixed in the next version. You can actually just add files manually.
Yeah I did import a .ttf file as you instructed.
Anyways, I’m aware of the fact you can manually copy-paste files into the project hierarchy, I just need to know how the engine expects me to call them first - which is what I did after importing dummy fonts and sprites and then changing them accordingly.
They will only play in a cutscene. As soon as you leave the cutscene (which a terminal basically is) all played sounds and music will stop.
If you want to just play a sound, you need to use a trigger and then provide it with a sound.
I never got around doing something about this as this was purely for cutscenes.
Okay I did the same thing but it worked, I think I might know what it was. I make the project folder, add wall and floor textures and place down the player, then test it. However, I think the texture I was using was too high resolution. I grabbed a wood texture off google to test but didnt even think the game might not like it, so I used minecraft textures and it worked this time.
Hi! Absolutely loving using this program!
When I open a project in the PRO version I'm greeted with this error message and the program crashes-
I can create a new project and use the program as usual but before too long the same error message starts popping up and the project becomes impossible to open.
This only occurs in the PRO version so right now I'm sticking to LITE. Again, absolutely love this project, very happy I supported it even though it's not playing ball right now.

i thought it might have something to do with updating the icon for the modifier. in the previous build, i got the error but not the crash, and icon turned into a red X but i was still able to run the editor and place stuff on the map. basically the same thing seems to be happening now and under the same circumstances, except editor closes instead of continuing to run with errored icon.
When you die on another floor than 1, parts of the level are missing when you respawn.
Before (theres a blue wall on floor 2)
When you get killed on floor 2 and respawn on level 1, parts of the level (floor 2) are missing.

It seems that some images are missing. If you can pack your project and send it to me, I'll see what is the problem.
But generally it can happen in two cases:
-Some of entity sprites are missing but were added. Happens if they were removed from the project folder.
-Some textures are missing, the same as with entity sprites.
Try to remember what you did. Maybe this will shed some light to the reason for this error to occur.
Thanks for the fast response JessicoChan!
I did some experimenting and I wonder if the image sizes weren't too big. The file sizes were okay, but the images themselves were very large. I opened up some new projects with smaller textures and props and it stopped the issue from occuring.
Another thing that may have happened is that the images I originally used were saved within a Cloud folder. Not sure how EFPSE works, but might any Cloud desyncs down the line caused an issue? I know I suffered a couple.
Thanks for the help. I had a feeling this was to do with the images as they were the first thing I experimented with.
Cloud storage might be a problem, however the editor copies all imported files into its own folder. You should not however store your project folder in a cloud, only your backup folder from where you import your files.
I'll be honest I haven't had it in mind that people would like to use cloud storage. I'll keep it in mind for next updates but not sure if it ever will be stable for use with clouds.
yea i already got it fixed on my end... i more or less wanted to report this oddly specific issue just in case if someone else were to do it to... the project was new anyway so i only lost ten minutes of work anyway
edit: I did just try to recreate it, but wasnt able to for some reason... i dont know what fixed it... i could be me clearing my project list and deleting game.exe, but even restoring that version of game.exe or any build that had bug it seemed to be fixed so i am confused
sounds like you have a speed of 0 for your projectile speed maybe? and you have to play with padding your projectile with alpha space. like this is what my enemy's idle sprite and his projectile look like in my recent game jam atrocity:
enemy is 16x13 px and projectile is 16x128 with a bunch of blank space above it so that it offsets the actual projectile.
this was my workaround anyways. it would probably matter what scale you use for the enemy in the editor and where you want it to shoot from, how much you would pad/offset the projectile. you just gotta play with it. and probably have to close EFPSE when you edit the image, or your image editor won't let you save if it's open in another program.
do you have the damage setting in enemies attack? also what is your player radius set to in player configurator?
here are some things i have found that are helpful to me when formatting graphics for EFPSE:
make an image at 320x180. This is your base for weapons. Basically, with no scaling and importing the weapon into the editor, it should fit on the screen perfectly, just change the y to 10 to account for the bouncing and swaying of the weapon. you can animate all your weapons using a 320 180 base, everything inside that base will look like what you weapon will look like on screen. i haven't tested this with non 1280x720 resolutions by the way, but theoretically should work with any 16:9 res?
make an image that is 80x160. this is your base for entities (enemies and decorations). 160 is tall enough you can't jump on top of it and stand on your enemies head. you can import these sprites and not fuck with scaling it, leave it at its default 1 scale. you can leave blank space above your enemy, but it seems to be included in the sprites hit box, so if your sprite is super small like the 16x13 example i posted earlier, you would be better off using scaling. even if i blew up that 16x13 sprite to 80x65 and put it in my 80x160 base, i would have 95 pixels of blank space above it that seems to be included in the hitbox even though it transparent pixels. so this 80x160 works for me because my enemies are humanoid and mostly fit inside the 80x160 base without a bunch of padding left over, and the only small sprites are decorations that i dont want player to jump on.
after i re-read that i have no idea if it will make sense to anyone else. kinda rambleshamble but hope it might be helpful.
that sounds like a mouse driver issue? i dont know, i have never seen that happen in my projects.
try this: delete config.ini, game.exe, openal32.dll, startup.log in your projects folder. open efpse, open your game, then test game. it will remake all those files you just deleted. does that change anything at all?
also try this: use build and pack and make your game. move that folder, then use build without packing. test both versions of the game. do they behave the same way as the testing in the editor? i know i was unable to use build and pack when i built my last project for the game jam, the game.exe ctd'd after loading the first map. but using build without packing it worked fine for me.
if all three versions of game.exe are doing the weird mouse movement thing and not remembering your fullscreen settings then....... i have no idea.
people have been ducking and dodging around crazy bugs like this for years with RGM, so as a community i think we can figure out how to work with this engine in it's current state until the world becomes a better place and jessicochan can get back to dev it more.

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
