Here is my situation. I have created my model, UVs, texture, and Normal maps. After creating the .fpe and loading into FPSC the textures remain grey. I have searched the forums and found several tutorials and things to check, but nothing seems to work.

Images are a power of 2 (1024x1024)
Images were tested as .tga and .dds (restarting FPSC each time)
Image files are in the same entitybank\user\creatures folder I created and paths were double checked in the fpe and again in the FPSC editor with no change.

Perhaps editing the .x file? any help will be appreciated as I continue to search the forums, thanks.

I had the same kind of problems when I was running FPSC v-1 but when I upgraded to a later version the problem stopped.
Could this be your problem?

All the best of luck with this.

Well, that didn't work...I have version 1.0.7 but I did a repair install just to be sure. I imported my obj into blender and seperated the object from the materials. That seams to improve things but still, the texture will not show up. Now I have a white creature instead of a grey one. (see image)

Here is another pic in UVMapper Pro with a texture map applied. (still working on the seams and eyes)
I am using Blender to export to .x and I have noticed that it writes unused data to the file. (I compared this to some of the .x weapons files.)After going through the forums I will try the .x file texture reference with no reference in the fpe.

Perhaps I need a clean .x character file to compare it with...oh goodie more searching the threads...

Got it worked out finally. The search through the forums wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't filled with so many threads that say search.


After all my testing I had installed fpsc on my F: drive instead of the C: drive. A simple re-install to the right drive and everything works.
