A5 and A6 templates were successful. T7 didn't take off as hoped so why don't you convert the A6 templates to Lite-C ?

Thanks.

It won't be different, because you'll get only a pre-made actions.

The templates aren't very useful in general. Sure, there are some projects that use them and are still fun, but for really unique games, you need to learn coding by yourself. I think the templates are good for level design: They allow you to test your level with some basic gameplay.

This part of the forum is called 'Ask the Developers'

Developers, please convert the templates to Lite-C

Thanks

Someone should move this thread to User Requests, in this case...

If it works, why would you want to rewrite the templates to Lite-C?
Templates are for those who don't want to code, but simply get some action into their levels. The language makes no difference for you, if you don't want to touch the code at all.

And if you want to code - try to understand how the templates work and write your very own unique code. You don't want your game behave like every other game made with these templates.

But if this is your goal - level creation and having some fun in an fps game... buy a copy of unreal and create your own levels or even mods.
Their "templates" are great and you can share your work with a great community.
In this gamestudio forum, you won't get applause for just using templates for your great game.

I think you get the point, even if it sounds a bit harsh.

Templates are important and the question is justified.

We won't convert them because the A6 templates were overly complicated and their code was not easily reusable. Lite-C allows to write much more flexible and simpler templates. We'll write a new set of templates for A7. In fact, the first template set, written by George Pirvu for racing games, will be released soon.

The A7 templates will be not only for beginners, but also for advanced programmers because they can also use functions from them.

Thanks jcl.

I am involved in education and templates are really useful. I teach and little games programming to music and entertainment students who have very little programming background. Templates help.

Thanks
