Well, yeah... The topic's title is a bit weird. But, I have a problem:
The game I'm making is quite cool, in test game. But not when it's built: Some entities are invisible (all characters of MP22, but props work) and some things are white (dead bodies)
Also, I didn't put lights in it yet, because it would take loads of time to build. Also, it had full lightmaps on (because I will add lights later) and medium texture quality.
Attached is a screenshot of the strange whiteness, which doesn't happen in test game. There's no point in posting a screenshot of the invisible enemies, because, well, they can't be seen. Only their shadow is visible.

Someone please help.

ah-hem, (puts on nerdy specs)
this problem is caused by the textures from test game not being put in build game. to stop it, simply replace the folders for the entities in build game with the folders for the entities in test game

Hmm... But... Then, when I would release the game, it wouldn't be protected at all! I mean, everyone could just take stuff that I use, and that's not a good thing!

Then use a media protection suite like Phoenix Sentry or Vishnu.

Are those free? Do they require coding?

you can just put the files you need there (i.e the texture files) there instead. also, build game entities have no need for the file that makes them show up on the fps creator file archive, so if someone did copy them, they couldn't use them in their games.

right, instead of putting the whole entity's files in there, just put the texture files in there. (usually .dds)

wow! that was a quick response! anyway, that should work, you might want to try some of the other files if it doesn't.

... that's odd, must be different problem, it's always worked for me. you need to copy the textures from entitybank, not texture bank.
