Very sorry about double-posting, but I fixed the d3dx10_40.dll problem.
The DirectX web setup didn't let me install w/ out an internal system error message, but it's okay; I used the DirectX redistributable setup and the .dll is in there (everything went smoothly, yay!).
Unfortunately, I get this error message (attached), regarding DBProsetup10.dll. I tried Google-searching, but unlike with my previous issue, I couldn't find any matches whatsoever. I also Googled the .dll, but got nothing.
This is my last remaining error message; any suggestions?
Thanks.

@seth zer0

Its not a problem with the specular map.

I've tried changing the intensity and alpha channel opacity but if you apply bumpent.fx and turn ambient lighting all the way down the entity goes completely black when next to a static or dynamic light.

There are 2 shaders which produce the correct effect (bumpbone.fx, illuminationent.fx) but using either prevents the player from picking up the entity with right mouse button.

You can use an entity with just a diffuse texture and no shader effect applied which allows it to be lit correctly but again cannot be picked up.

I've tested extensively and you cannot apply a shader effect to an entity with normal and specular maps and have it lit by lights when there is no ambient lighting in the scene without the bug occuring where the player cannot pick the entity up.

I do believe it is your specular map. Cause here is the same entity your using with no ambiance lighting on it and its lit just fine.. Try making your specular map brighter and the alpha layer as well that's what I did. And that is the bumpent.fx effect and I did pick the crate up as shown in the pic.

Oh I just found out something and this proves its a bug.. Go into your .fpe and change the shader type there it will allow any shader to work on it and allow you to pick up your entity. Weird but just found that out when trying weapon.fx on the object after changing the type of shader in the .fpe...

Thanks Seth Zer0

EDIT - I've figured out what was wrong with my specular map now and the sci-fi crate fits much better with my lighting.

The next problem. I made a custom shader by editing wibblyrelief.fx and got some nice effects that I want to use for certain entities.

The shader works when I apply it to and entity but results in the can't be picked up bug. I saw your note about changing the shader in the .fpe but it defaults to a stock shader in test level until I load it in the map editor entity properties.

As far as I can tell you can't apply a custom shader to a dynamic entity and be able to pick it up at the moment.

Is the custom shader in the common folder or another. Cause it might be like the relief shader and only work in its specific folder. So see if it works in the common folder(if you don't already have it in there..)

Hi Seth Zer0

I put my custom shader in the common folder and then put 'effectbank\common\cratec.fx' in the entity .fpe effect field.

I deleted the .bin and .dbo files, started a new map and placed the entity in the level. I checked the entity properties and my shader is in the effect field but when I load a test level it defaults to a stock shader (bumpent.fx I think).

The only way I can get my custom shader applied is to re apply it in the map editor entity properties then it appears correctly in game but cannot pick the entity up.

I also tried editing the weapon.fx shader and applying that to the entity without changing the shader name but again it does not get applied in test game unless I manually apply it in the entity properties which causes the bug where it can't be picked up.

The only shader I can use on dynamic entities which allows me to pick them up is bumpent.fx but there is no source file to edit for customisation. I really need this bug to be fixed.

Sorry I just retested the idea and found out that I was wrong. It does go back to a default shader so this is a bug that has no way around it yet, Sorry for getting your hopes up. The entity I was using looked the same in parallax or normal mapping I tested it again with the crate_c from the pic and it does not change the shader sorry once again for the miss leading post.. Guess its up to TGC now..

@wolfe man go download the latest Direct X10(From microsoft's web site.) and your problem should be solved as long as you have all the right spec in your comp.

Hi Lee,
I don't know if this is a bug or if this was deliberate, but apparently the two existing soft particles are hard-coded into the engine or something like that because we can't modify them or create/import our own
This is something I'd very much like to see fixed for the next update because it's one of the features of X10 we should be able to be using..

A picture says a thousand words.

I have seen two bugs so far with fps creator x10:
1

the corner of a building when under water will become invisible and the player will be able to see inside.


2


In multiplayer, the characters hold and shoot the gun backwards.
the front of the gun is at the back of the character, yet that was not shown in the demo videos.


i hope you guys will fix these problems soon.

Hi Lee,

I was working with importing a custom entity, and it works fine in static. However, when I make it dynamic with effects on it becomes invisible in the test game. This has happened before, with model packs and stock entities. If it's already marked static and I make it dynamic, it becomes invisible. When I took the effect off of it (see attached picture. On the left is it as static, on right dynamic with no shaders)

I thought this was worth mentioning, if not for the odd-color, then for the invisibility. I hope you get this cleared up.

@Jingle Fett

It would be nice to see soft particles unlocked for customisation. I'd like to get some soft fire particles in for sure.

@Lee

I just noticed that when building a game with FPSC X10 not all of the game assets are copied into the executable folder and have to be added manually after such as the 'new game' icon.

i have found two evident errors with FPSCX10.
- custom sky boxes do not work at all when changing them with the slider. instead you will only see the color pink.
- dynamic entities with transparent texturing do not render other dynamic items behind them.

sorry if these have already been reported but they are issues that i would like to see resolved.

thanks
JZ

Make sure you've updated to direct x 10.1 first.

We need a patch V1.10 !

There are some ugly Bugs in Fps Creator X10.

- the weapon is not in my hands after loading
- enemies are facing the wrong direction or do their start animation after loading
- player is looking in a wrong pitch after loading
- physics go crazy when i repeating call the menu

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmXeiR3rxAA
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0z9h0-wDdNw

There should be some features which every game engine shall have. (like in Fps X9)

- customizable mouse sensitivity
- customizable resolution

best regards

@DiViNiTY

V110 will be starting beta testing soon according to this months newsletter. However it is mainly aimed at introducing the store and testing to ensure assets can be imported correctly.

I hope Lee will be able to pick up some confirmed v109 bugs from this thread along the way once the v116 X9 update is done.

are these custom weapons or not? If they are, then that might be your problem. the textures might need some changes to work properly.

Sorry for the double-post, but I have found that semi-transparent textures don't work with static entities. I'm not sure if this is intentional or not, but it would be nice if it were fixed.

Go to your profile, then click on Order History and you will see FPS Creator X10. You should see an item for Auto Update (Currently says "Download FPSC X10 Auto Update Patch (V108)"). This should of been updated to the newest one, (not sure whos fault there).

But thats where it is.
