I didn’t expect this many additions to the template so soon (because looking at how "community projects usually go…well they don’t go all that well), it could all be just a fluke, but for these past 4 days I feel like the tamplate has advanced significantly. (browsing through this thread will show that)
I have updated the main download link (in this post) to the latest version of the template, which will feature all the latest advancements (and some additional polish that I either wished, or was forced to apply).
I have credited the people who contributed in the template itself (those who most contributed starting from the top)
============================================================
I was planning to work on this a little bit more before publishing, but since the holidays are here:
I give you the BGE FPS Template:
Download: FPS_Template.blend
More info here: http://socialstorage.googlepages.com/projects
This is pretty much the result of my anger with all those “How do you make an FPS?” questions (asked as if there was one single answer). I figure instead of “bashing” people (kids) who ask such questions with my famous quote: “Start with something smaller”, I’ll have a basic template that I’ll just link to every time they ask that same question, and hopefully end the thread there (my christmas wish).
This way I can show the new guys that it’s a little more complicated than they initially thought, and at the same time provide a usefull resource for people who have the skill to mod and use the template, saving them some development time (or at least that’s the hope here).
All C&C is welcome as always. I hope you find this usefull.
Happy holidays - Social
