Hi

I have a problem, I downloaded some free characters from TGC store (mutant, knight, mummy) when I test my map they appear totally black as if they are untextured however in the editor window they are textured. The effect used by default is bumpbone.fx. I tried to delete it but it did not help, so what is the cause of this?
Iam using v120 beta.

thanks

Are you using Dynamic Lighting in your scene or just default ambience?

If you go into the FPE file and change the line

effect = effectbank\bumpbone\bumpbone.fx

to

;effect = effectbank\bumpbone\bumpbone.fx

Then delete the .BIN file and run again, it should function correctly.

I encountered the same issue with V119 and this resolved it. Apparently the shader wants something that the texture file does not provide.
