did you check the scale information on them? You might need to rescale them in the .fpe file.

It needs to be rigged in Milkshape or something similar.

I used 3dcanvas plus to make it but i had to set the scale to 3000 because it was too small. in the editor it appears fine but in game it is invisible. What do you mean rigged? Do you think the cel-shading might have made it invisible?

I would not worry about the rigging stuff as this has nothing to do with character rigging.

Probably a bad x. file format.

Which modeller do you use to create models in?

as stated above i use 3dcanvas plus. When placing it in the map it has texture and in the entity maker it has texture (but its really tiny).


I textured it by making the texture in paint ( i only need simple textures) then uv mapped it so it looked good in the editor and then exported it to .x and in the .x it refers to the texture file too. Then i used the entity maker to make it into a person. Does it need animations to work?

FPSC doesnt seem to like characters being resaled. If you need to blow up the model in ur 3D program 2 fit it to an appropriate scale of 100, that is wot u must do. my brother set it to 120 and when the enemies died they kinda sat up and shaked an everything. just keep scale 2 100, people.

You don't have to be insane to answer my questions, but it helps

No it didnt work. Fully at least. The model appeared in game but it was sunk in the floor a bit and i had to roatate it becuase it showed up face down even tho its standing up in 3dcanvas. And it also has no textures. The models appear now at least with 100 scale. Any more insight?

when you made this character was he created at or above world center and in the proper orientation? You can use the 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 keys to place his prientation in the editor.

I would suggest that users making their own models set up a template using a copy of a default FPSC model for scaling - even a single default FPSC wall will do for scaling, rotational and positioning purposes.

This should be set up in in Milkshape or another simple modeller known to be easily used and compatible with FPSC. Always ensure your model is placed on or just above above the centreline in Milkshape in the horizontal plane.

Use the .x file JT exporter to export your model from Milkshape.

Using this method you cant go far wrong. Using some other modeller types and methods of creation for preparation for output to .x for FPSC compatibility may leave you open to asking for unecessary problems which long term may become an increasing burden and cause much frustration which could easily be avoided.

Use whatever you like but if you want to make it easy for yourslef - use some tried and tested methods for development.
