"This is truly a great program. Now people with no coding experience can make killer FPS games, and people with coding experience can customize their games to make them even more killer than the already killer killer games! Rockin'! I love everything about FPSC. First Person Shooter Creator is a godsend!" — A genuine opinion by Jiffy (FPSC User)

To ensure a smooth upgrade process, follow these guidelines:
- Uninstall any update you may be running on your system
- Download and install the new 1.15 update
- If the update fails to detect your FPSC installation, backup your files and re-install FPS Creator, then apply the 1.15 update
Note: If you have model packs 3 and / or 5, we also advise you uninstall these are re-download new versions of them from your Order History. The original packs included FPS system files inside them and these are now old and redundant. You can identify the new versions of the Model Packs because when you download them they'll have _07 on the filename, for example: FPSCreatorModelPack2_07.zip

If you encounter any problems with the latest version you can always revert to a previous upgrade:
FPS Creator Game Source Code
Here is the latest version of the FPS Creator Game Source Code + all required DLLs to get it compiling. You will need to own DarkBASIC Professional Version 6.6 to compile the code. You will also need the 6.6 Extras archive, which you can download from the same page. Make absolutely sure you have DirectX 9.0c FEB 2006 edition (or later) installed. Upgrade DBPro to 6.6. Then unzip the Extras file into your DBPro folder. This will install various new DLLs including a special version of the Expansion Pack specifically for FPSC. Inside the Projects folder you will find the FPSC Game source code.
FPS Creator Entity Maker
This is the complete Entity Maker utility used to create all of the entities in the full version of FPS Creator. With it you can make your own entity files. Also included in the archive is 20 minutes worth of video tutorials on how to use the Entity Maker. The videos are in Windows WMV format, so use Media Player to view them.

Character Studio Files
Here is the Character Studio BIP file for FPS Creator. This contains all of the animation data for FPS Creator characters and a FIG file for setting up the skeleton. You need Character Studio in order to use these files, but using them will allow you to animate any model into a format suitable for FPS Creator (and to modify the existing animation data).

You can read our on-line guide to exporting animations.
Segment Editor
We have released the FPS Creator Segment Editor to the general public. This tool was developed for internal use, but it will speed up your own personal content creation so we've unleashed it. We have prepared a video tutorial on how to use the application which will be released in a few weeks. In the meantime, you'll have to just play around with it and/or ask on the forums.

FPI EditPad
If you wish to go further into FPS Creator scripting, there is no better place to start than the excellent third party tool FPI EditPad developed by Terry Cox. If you're currently in and out of Notepad, then you will find this tool will help increase your scripting productivity. Not only does the tool highlight FPI syntax, but it will alert you when you type a condition or action incorrectly, meaning your scripts will be grammatically correct first time around. Check out the built-in help system for a complete run-down of features in this excellent addition to the 'modders' tool kit.
