Hi,

I made a Commodore 64 for in my game on a table, and it uses commodore64_0.bmp to commodore64_5.bmp as surfaces in the .x object. However when I want to convert with entity maker it only can use one surface.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Okay never mind I found the solution just don't enter anything for a surface if the object is already textured and it will work.

Also, if you happen to use LightWave and 3D Exploration make sure to have the textures just in the same directory that way it will keep the skins of your object.

I got another problem, it shows the surfaces in test mode now but not when I compile. I tried putting the surfaces in the same directory since it doesn't copy them with it, but that won't work either.

Please somebody help.

Do you mean multiple textures?

FPSC can't do multiple textures...and your textures have to be in .tga or .dds, not .bmp

Other than that, check the .fpe files to make sure everything is in the right place.

FPSC can do multiple textures, check here: http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=75280&b=21

I've created a simple model in TrueSpace 6.6, using multiple textures and followed the instructions and it worked fine when I did do a test game from within FPSC.

I've got to do some more models tomorrow and then I'll build an .exe using models with multiple textures on them to see if it works in the .exe also.

Quote: "ok create your level in cartograsphy shop, then export it to the entity/user bank (.x format) do not delete anything from this folder. then create the .fpe and leave the texture out. the fpe will automatically tell the engine to revert back to the .x file for the textures and as long as the .bmp's are in there then it will multi texture them. try it out it works."


For some reason this wont work for me. I made my model of a Commodore 64 in LightWave, then converted it with entity bank and didn't give it a surface name in entity bank. It then works in test mode however when I compiled it it won't show the surfaces on the Commodore 64.

I think I need to place the surfaces somewhere, I've tried putting them in gamedir\Files\entitybank\user but then it still comes up blank.

What am I doing wrong?

Still need help with this one, I tried:

3D Explorer (converted them fine, even popped up in FPS fine and in test mode, but not in the compiled exe)

MilkShape (This program is dumbtastic, tried every format in the book, by first converting it from 3D Explorer to something MilkShape could handle, but still wouldn't budge.)
