I am trying to work through the FPS Tutorial. The FPS_Assets.zip download folder appears to be solely for use by those with Maya. Sadly, I’m not rich enough for that! Where can I find the version that will work on my non-Maya system?
You can use those inside of Unity without hassle, the error about Maya is non-destructive and can be ignored.
Thanks Higgy.
I am still having trouble with the FPS Tutorial. I have moved mainLevelMesh and First Person Controller into the scene view. Now, when I try to play the scene, I get an error message:
Assets/WeaponScripts/FPSPlayer.js(124,31): BCE0019: ‘frame’ is not a member of ‘UnityEngine.Texture2D’. I don’t know how to correct this.
When I try to run the complete FPS Tutorial I get a raft of error messages:
NullReferenceException: The prefab you want to instantiate is null.

Any help/advice would be warmly welcome.
You are using an older version of the FPS tutorial, one that is only compatible with Unity 1.x (textures used to have a frame property for simple texture frame flipping animations). You can download an updated version of the tutorial that is fully compatible with Unity 2.x (and thus won’t produce the above error) from here:
Thanks again Higgy.
I’ve deleted all the original files and downloaded the various zip[ files from the link you gave me. I have tried to run the completed FPS tutorial, which has produced the following raft o0f messages:

Make sure that maya is installed and the maya file has maya as its ‘Open with’ application!

What is going wrong? I’m running Vista home edition and Unity 2 version 2.5.1f5 (24931).
@tholland: Most of these are benign errors. If you press Play you’ll see that most of the demo still runs. I’m working on getting another updated project folder with the following changes:
- Removing the Maya scene file to avoid any further confusion, since there is an FBX file as well.
- Fixing all line-ending warnings.
- Fixing all deprecated API call warnings.
- Replacing the water that came with the project with an updated version for the 2.5 Standard Assets.
I’ve posted an updated project to the tutorials section. If it doesn’t show a file size of 103.8MB for the completed tutorial, then you need to refresh the browser page.
@aebrahimi; it still doesn’t work for me! The new completed tutorial freezes when I try to run it. The “escape for cursor” message comes up and when I press escape the robot can be seen wandering around but the arrow and mouse keys don’t work. Working through the tutorial from the beginning, I get as far as creating a weapon when I get this error message: Assets/WeaponScripts/FPSPlayer.js(5,17): BCE0018: The name ‘DrawRockets’ does not denote a valid type. It seems that the scripts are out of date and don’t work with version 2.5. Where can I get an up to date copy?
We may still be having issues with cached files being served from our CDN. To test this theory out, please grab the tutorial from:
http://files.unity3d.com/amir/FPS_Tutorial_Completed.zip
Let me know if this works for you.
@aebrahimi; great! it works for me! Many thanks - now, where do I get an up-to-date version of fps_assets.zip?

What is wrong with the FPS assets downloaded from the Resources section?
I have been trying to use the fps_assets.zip link from the first part of the FPS tutorial. This seems to have been written for an earlier version of Unity…Many of the scripts will not compile.
I cannot find any relevant assets on the resources page!
Are you downloading from this page?
http://unity3d.com/support/resources/tutorials/fpstutorial
Yes! When I play the first part of the first tutorial I get this error message:
Assets/WeaponScripts/FPSPlayer.js(5,17): BCE0018: The name ‘DrawRockets’ does not denote a valid type.
I do not understand why this doesn’t work here yet the same code executes OK in fps_tutorial_completed.
Is this after you have completed the first part of the tutorial? If so, have you checked over your code to make sure you have followed the steps correctly?
No. In section 3 of the first tutorial (fps_tutorial_1) there is a link to fps_assets.zip where the assrets for the tutorials can be downloaded. I have done that and imported them into my project. I have completed sections 4 (Setting up the game environment) and 5 (Adding the main character). The tutorial now says Press Play. It is at this stage that the error message occurs. It is obviously something wrong with the FPSPlayer.js script, which I can only assume is out of date (it was created in 2006)
I just surfed over to our FPS tutorial page to download the PDFs and somehow I am getting served the old PDFs. Argggh… Somehow our content network is still serving up old content. Until then, here are all the files directly:
http://files.unity3d.com/amir/FPS_Tutorial.zip
http://files.unity3d.com/amir/FPS_Tutorial_Completed.zip
I apologize for all the confusion.
I know I must be being a pain, but I still cannot get the tutorial to work. I’ve down loaded the files from the site you gave me and unzipped them but I canot find the project folder you refer to in the tutorial. I have uninstalled and re-installed Unity (Version 2.5.1f5 - is this the lates version?), created a new project, which includes
standard assets, but they are not the same as those included in the assets that come with the fps_tutorial package (eg there is no Objects file folder). I am feeling very disenchanted with the program but do not want to give up, having spent $99 on it! Hope you can help.
@tholland: In FPS_Tutorial_1.pdf, the instructions don’t say to create a new project. You are supposed to unzip FPS_Tutorial.zip, and open up the project folder. Once you open the project folder you are supposed to Import the Standard Assets Unity package from where you installed Unity.
