I''m just starting an fps project with my friend and will take any advice but would like specific advice about 3d engines, bullets, level editors, and physics. Thanks!

My advice would be:

Know what you''re capable of and set realistic goals for right now.
Know what you''re getting into.
Read the reviews of books on this site and pick up a few good ones.
Learn to use a search engine.
If you want to get help and be taken seriously on this forum, ask specific questions.
Work hard and don''t give up.
Realize nothing is going to get handed to you on a silver platter, and deal with it.

Amen.

That link at the top of the page: "New? Start Here". Lots of good articles & jump points to other good articles are there. Always consult your compiler help first, then that page, then ask the forums if the answer still eludes you. Good luck.
