hello well i can give you some info.
1. type in cosmic prophet into subject thread at the bottom.
you will find several huge FREE model packs ready to be put in
model packs: pirates,COUNTRY PACK (can make terrains with that), cave pack, christmas pack, horror pack, alien pack one and 2, dark city pack(modern buildings) winter pack.
and hundreds more on the forum just search. all of them are free.
these should keep you happy for years, plus i suggest check out bond at game store all characters work on x10 and all model packs work.
also make sure you have the blood and ragdoll patch.
sdkx10.1 from microsoft installed.(has good features too)
all the updates installed.
if you are limited on soldier characters i suggest download paint.net.
when running open files,go into program files/the games creators/fpscx10/files/entitybank/then which ever character you want, then click on the characters dds file.
this is the the models skin, as in what colours him ie jackets, face, boots. then play about with it and when happy save as, and change the name slightly.
ie you loaded in soldier 1.dds, you save as soldier 2.dds.
when done go to where you saved the dds (direct draw surface)then make a folder called soldier 2, then put your new pic in, then copy the 3 remaining files for soldier (bmp, x, fpe) paste into new folder enter folder rename all to soldier 2 then open fpe with notepad and change dds name and x name save as and then when you launch fpsx10 a new character should be waiting.
to make the character different more, right click when placed the character on the map and change his stats.
hope that helps you a bit
oh and you cant sell or give out edited models but can use in your games good luck
an unquenchable thirst for knowledge of game creation!!!
