Hey, I have an issue being unable to open doors/next level door and can't figure it out. Others demoing RGM games with RGM Next seem to have no issues. Have you come across this issue before?
Brilliant tool. The OpenGL rendering and high-res support make RGM games look quite lovely, and some kind of internal engine magic removes a lot of jank from player movement.
However, RGM Next kinda messes up the enemy settings. Melee enemies start dealing damage from a pretty far distance, in the OG engine you had to pretty much stand right in front of them to lose HP. When firing projectiles, enemies act like they are hitscanning and the amount of damage they deal is the one that they would actually do with each tick in the OG RGM (so their max damage is not 40 but like ~5 instead). On the other hand, hitscan enemies act as they should, but attack based on some kind of timer instead of dealing damage with each tick (maybe that's actually the way the projectile-shooting enemies would act? idk).
I'm sure this is just an unlucky coincidence, because otherwise this thing is PERFECT.
Actually, hitscan attacks are working as intended. I'm pretty sure it was kinda borken in RGM or worked in a strange way. Not a complete compatibility, I know, but it would take many tweakings to get this right.
The bug with projectiles is known, there is also a problem with projectiles speed.
That’s great to hear you may continue support. Are going to also be adding the fog or any other QoL features to your other project, Easy FPS Editor?
I know you’ve said work on Easy FPS Editor is finished and you won’t be updating it any more, do you have any plans to make another Game Creator/Editor?
If you do have something planned I have a laundry list of QoL features I think would be great additions to an FPS Creator/Maker/Editor.
Я наконец-то разобрался в ситуации. Оказывается, РГМНекст - это не новая версия конструктора РГМ, а просто лаунчер/движок игр, сделанных в РГМ. Извините, что донимал вопросами. Не прочёл описание программы на английском, было почему-то лень это сделать, отсюда и пошли все мои непонятки. Искренне надеялся, что Вы выпустили новую версию редактора.)) Принял желаемое за действительное.))

Thank you for making this, the games look much better now!

A great tool, I wish you luck with this project :D
RGM Next just runs games, it doesn't give you ability to _make_ games. You need to make them in og RGM
Can we get the source code?
No.
Why would you even want it?
Ok thanks, and cause I think it's a neat engine
Any plans to bring back the distance fog/dark lighting that some RGM games use?
Yes, it's already done. I just need to finish on some algorithms for sprites resizing

Attack range is also a known bug.
Is development on RGM Next still active?
Kinda-sorta.
I have some plans regarding some... improvements, including new editor.
Think of EFPSE but without any fancy things like scripting.
Just good old RGM with a few improvements like cutscenes in the middle of game, or voxel models.
Or not. Probably not, but a man can dream.
Still will be updating this thing with fog and some other things.

Fog is there. As well as many other things.
At this moment only bug fixes are planned.
А поподробнее?
При чем тут РГМ? Запускаем через новый екзешник, который в архиве.
Что за игра?
Если игра использует нестандартные названия паков, то надо перетащить первый пак на екзешник.
Папка с музыкой и катсцены должны называться sndsrc и cs.pak соответственно, движок не сможет автоматически распознать их.

Улучшеный РГМ был сделан давно. Называется Easy FPS Editor, есть в списке моих программ.
at first configurator.exe worked fine, now it doesnt open
editing config.ini manually works fine
Mmmm... no idea, really.
A lot might have happen, but there is nothing unusual used there, just basic .net methods.
the ini is simple enough to modify manually, so it doesn't really matter. :)
You could try "Run as administrator" - that worked for me!
Cool
