You will just have to experiment. I ran into the same type of problem using Milkshape. I imported one of the wall segments from FPSC to see what size it was for future reference. I altered its thickness a bit and exported it out as a .x model. When I opened it in the segment editor it was tiny. It looked to me to be about 1/10 the original size. I rescaled the wall segment in Milkshape 1000% (10X1) and opened that one up in the segment editor. Sure enough, it was correct. So now I know what the size of an imported wall segment is in milkshape. I just have to model everything else 10x1 in relation to that wall size so that the exported .x models will be correct size once rendered in FPSC.

okay , i fixed it a minute ago. you dont even have to change it in milkshape. i tried this too but there werent any changes. just open the fpi ( i think fpI ) file of the model and change the scale parameter. 400 worked fine for me
but now ,
ANOTHER PROBLEM !

I made my model in Sofimage XSI, then exported it to OBJ with materials ...and then opened this in milkshape. So far all is okay. Then i saved it in X Format as NAZ_ZOOKA ( in the characters directory ) ...but the model dont have a skin in fpsc. how is skinning handled in fpsc ?

i mean, is there any program which does this automatically ? or ...just....how do you make it ?

yeah...thats the ticket !

Just make a copy of the texture you used in milkshape for your model skin as a tga file and put it in a directory called Mytextures under texturebank. Open the fpi file for your model and reference the texture with the correct path. I think that will fix it.

I don't think we can bring in new characters with the EA version, you can only bring in static entities. With V1 I think it will be possible though. Anyway, with characters it seems you put your tga file in the same directory as your x file and fpe file in the characters folder. open and look at the colonel x fpe and you will see it simply references a tga texture. FPSC will create a dds (fpsc texture file) automatically. I've never tried to bring in new characters yet. I noticed that all the characters have a dbo file relating to them. Im not sure how you create or what these are.
