@Mods Is there a possibility that this could be stickied? It will reduce the amount of threads that may come up about people asking how to use the limb finder. And you might find it hard to believe, but most of my friends that own FPSC, didn't even know the community guide existed, but they always read stickies. So that is the purpose of this thread.
Hi everyone,
this is my guide on how to use the limb finder by The Scene Commander. Before you start you are expected to have already extracted the "Limb Finder for FPSC Characters.zip" file and have the extracted folder open.
1. Place your model in the "models" folder
2. Place the model's texture in the same folder and give it the same name as the model. So, if your model is Wehrmacht.x, and the texture was at first called Wehrmacht_1_D2.dds then the texture should be renamed to Wehrmacht.dds.
3. Open the limb finder and your model should appear in the list.
4. Export the limbs AND the limb names. You will need the limb names if you are using the latest version of FPSC.
5. Open up the characters .fpe file and look for something like this:
;bodypartslimbinfo (1=head/2=body/3+4=armslr/5+6=legslr)
below it, paste the limb data (not the names). If you are using Wehrmacht (Unarmed).fpe, then it should now look like this:
;header
desc = wehrmacht (unarmed)

Now open up the limb names.
If you are using the Wehrmacht, then it should look like this:
;wehrmacht limb names data
limb1=Bip01
limb2=Bip01_Pelvis
limb3=Bip01_Spine
limb4=Bip01_R_Thigh
limb5=Bip01_R_Calf
limb6=Bip01_R_Foot
limb7=Bip01_R_Toe0
limb8=$NoName$
limb9=$NoName$
limb10=$NoName$
limb11=$NoName$
limb12=Bip01_L_Thigh
limb13=Bip01_L_Calf
limb14=Bip01_L_Foot
limb15=Bip01_L_Toe0
limb16=$NoName$
limb17=$NoName$
limb18=$NoName$
limb19=$NoName$
limb20=Bip01_Spine1
limb21=Bip01_Spine2
limb22=Bip01_Spine3
limb23=Bip01_Neck
limb24=Bip01_R_Clavicle
limb25=Bip01_R_UpperArm
limb26=Bip01_R_Forearm
limb27=Bip01_R_Hand
limb28=Bip01_R_Finger0
limb29=$NoName$
limb30=$NoName$
limb31=$NoName$
limb32=$NoName$
limb33=$NoName$
limb34=Bip01_L_Clavicle
limb35=Bip01_L_UpperArm
limb36=Bip01_L_Forearm
limb37=Bip01_L_Hand
limb38=FIRESPOT
limb39=$NoName$
limb40=Bip01_L_Finger0
limb41=$NoName$
limb42=$NoName$
limb43=$NoName$
limb44=$NoName$
limb45=$NoName$
limb46=Bip01_Head
limb47=$NoName$
limb48=$NoName$
limb49=$NoName$
limb50=$NoName$
limb51=$NoName$
limb52=$NoName$
limb53=$NoName$
limb54=$NoName$
limb55=body
limb56=$NoName$
These refer to the limb numbers that you will now use for that entity when using the scalelimb, hidelimb and showlimb commands. For example, to hide the wehrmacht's head, you would do this:
:state=0:state=1,hidelimb=46
-TZK
