Game Engine FAQ--Now More Powerful!

Game Engine Game Engine Support and Discussion

I am trying to make a FAQ page on my site for the blender game engine. What I need is some frequently asked questions. So far I only have 2: How do I make a game and how do I make a standalone .exe.

So heres my request:
noobs-ask any questions that you think are very obvious and if I believe it is a FAQ then I will add it to my page with the answer;
Forum Monkeys (or anyone else whos been here for a while)-post the questions that you believe are asked many times by noobs along with a bit of an answer of your own if you wish

Thanks in advance for your help!

EDIT: If you have questions to add then go to my FAQ page and submit them there.

HOW DO I MAKE DOOM 3 / HALO 2 / HALF LIFE 2 / CALL OF DUTY 2 / $RECENT_GAME$`

i’ve got the answer on this one, you don’t just buy a very expensive 3d program and find a big team wich is willing to help.

SHOULD I LEARN BLENDER

and to this one, yes you definatly should if you like drawing and wan’t to learn 3d.

HOW DO I MAKE MONEY

and to this one, find a job

and now my questions.

1.) how can i let a friend play my game if he doesn’t have blender installed?

2.) are there realy so much stupid questions? (you suprised me with the once you shown) didn’t know it was this worse.

MY GAME IS GONNA BE RAELLY COOL BUT I DON’T KNOW HOW USE BLENDER. WHEN I CLICK ORANGE EYE STRANGE GRAY PROGRAM APEAR AND I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO PLEASE HELP.

That’s our most frequent question of course. Or something similar.

One thing on the FAQ should be how to make things transparent… that’s a frequent question.

Thanks for the help. At this rate my FAQ will definatly have to be multiple pages. Keep the questions coming if you believe they are relevant to the game engine.

Come on everybody ! Come and see two Blenderheads spending their time in a flame war! A very usefull topic.

I just thought of one:
DO PARTICLES WORK IN THE GAME ENGINE?

We hear this one more frequently than I’d like to admit. And the answer, of course, is “no.”

More:
HOW CAN I MAKE AN MMORPG?/ONLINE GAME?

CAN I USE BUMPMAPS?

HOW BIG CAN A GAME IN BLENDER BE?

HOW CAN I MAKE A GAME WITH NODES? (LIKE MYST)

A short tutorial on Properties and how to use them would also be helpful.

Thanks for all your input. Thanks to WWWTOOLZ.com, my FAQs page now allows users to submit questions.

I will likely add many of the questions listed here eventually if I get the time. If you would like to continue helping with this effort then add the questions there at the appropriate category and by sending people with common questions there as well so they can add it to my FAQ.

I think that will be the topic of my next tutorial (once I finish the ones I have yet to complete).

Aw, you beat me to it!

Another common question: How do I model a(n) [insert anything here]

There’s going to be an FAQ page in the Knowledge Base section of the GameBlender-4-Ever wiki. Thats a better place to have it, as all users will be able to contribute. :wink:
