Does any one know where the bullet hole model is kept? I'm trying to test some thing out, but cant find where it is to change it.

There is none. If you're talking about the bullet hole texture, it's in C:/Program Files/The Game Creators/FPS Creator/Files/gamecore/bulletholes.

I know where that is, but I thought there was a model for the texture to be mapped to.

I'm pretty sure it just displays the bullet hole on the surface that is hits.

No, it's a decal, so its 2D. That means it doesn't need a model, that's also why it doesn't shape itself to the surface it hits. It's just a flat texture placed as a decal next to the wall wich sucks, I wish they would make something more efficient so it actually shapes the bullethole to the wall so they aren't half-in half-out on sloped surfaces.

That's the way they do it in most games you find on the market these days.

accually decals do need a flat plane to be projected onto. In some lightings you can see the bullet decals 2 tringle faces. If you do any work with decals you wil find that it does use a model.

model = particles.X

but im still not sure where the bullethole model is.

I am starting to think that the bullet hole model may be hard coded into the engine, which would suck if it is true.

Fred, Higgins doesn't mean the actual texture, he means the model that the bullet texture is actually applied to.

I think you will find that if there is a model for this it will be a simple plane,it wouldn't make sense to have poly's wasted on a simple bullethole that may need repeating a thousand times in one view.
The model particles.x is simply a visual reference placeholder used to place your decal in the map editor.

The Game Creators\FPS Creator\Files\gamecore\bulletholes

That leads me to the bullet hole textures, but how does the engine know what model to use, to map the texture to? I'd just like to find out where the model is, so that I can replace it with my own.

Rolfy is right, he stole the words right out of my mouth. Particles.X is just the model you see in the map editor when you place a decal. And since all decals are 2D, I don't see why you would need one, the engine can easily just create a 2d flat model for decals by itself, does that make any sense? Im just hypothesizing.

I'm not the one who started talking about the particles.x. I just wanted a plain and simple answer on where the bullethole model is, if there is one.

But I guess there isnt one, which you can edit, which is what I was after. So therefore I can not try out my idea, which sucks.

I'm pretty sure the bulletholes texturew is just applied to the the object shot. That's why if you shoot the corner of a segment, you get two half-holes instead of one full hole.

Lee's words:

"The bullet hole ‘model’ is a simple polygon onto which the ‘Files\gamecore\bulletholes\bulletholes.dds’ texture is applied. There is no way to change the polygon, but you can hack the texture if you need to."

So there is no actual model and the decal is just applied to the object in question?

There is a model, which the engine creates, just a flat 2 tris plane. You can't change it, but it is a model.

Oh really? You don't think I understand? I inferred to the solution before Lee actually provided the answer. It's pretty obvious you don't understand this subject based on the fact that you asked a question in the first place. The answer was one that I already took for granted. I've done bullethole editing before, always with the textures though.

We all learned something here today, leave it at that.

Just a note to everyone, not all models in FPSC have to be imported. DarkBASIC is capable of creating standard primitives and even complex ones.
