I'm going to try this out tonight when I get home from the office. Its called DeleD. Some may already know of this product, but they recently released a new improved version. It's a modeler/level editor. I looks to be very helpful in creating static geometry to use in FPSC levels. Also you could create some intricate segment portions in this thing, not to mention possible level geometry. It has plugins for import/export of .X, a DPro exporter etc. Here's the link.

If you go to the Plugins portion of the website, there is an X importer available along with many others you can download and install. I'd like to know if it also exports. Strange, if you go to this portion of the website, it says it exports X as well.

Hi there,

I'm Jeroen, one of the DeleD developers.

Exporting to .X is available under the File - Export menu. Also, there's a manual which summarizes the keyboard + mouse commands you can use. People actually think DeleD is really easy to use, compared to other modellers.

Regards,
Jeroen

Hi Jeroen, nice to see you in here. I was wondering if you could answer a question for me (I haven't made it home yet to try the program). Lets say in DeleD I create a 3 room scene with hallways out of primitives and map each room and hallways with different textures, including floors and ceilings. Lets say I export that scene as an X file. We import X files into FPSC. Does the X file have the textures in the file itself? I know FPSC can import X files with textures imbeded in them.

Hi Lon,

DeleD uses Ascii .X files and therefor does not embed textures in the file itself. Instead, it references to external files. Just open a DeleD .X file in notepad to see what I mean. I don't know if FPSC can import regular ascii .X files, but I can imagine it can (as ascii .X files are rather common).

Can you export texture maps from DeleD? I heard it does the texture coordinate maping right in the program. I would imagine a texture map for a whole level would be absolutely huge. I think x files can only have 1 texture associated to them in FPSC.

Well, This program definetely works with FPSC. Make something in DeleD, Export as a DBO file, write an fpe file for it drop it in the editor as a static object and there you have it. See screens.

Indeed DeleD does texturemapping, as you can from the pictures. UV coordinates are stored per polygon. Each polygon uses a material which can be made out of 3 individual textures using the Material Manager. Textures, however, are all individual .jpg, .bmp, .tga files which are referenced from inside the program. FPSC would do the same, as it is a rather standard way of doing things.

Btw, glad things work for ya!
