When in Milkshape you should select your entire model and then 'Export' it using the 'JT Exporter' plug-in found near the bottom of the list in the export tab.
The plug-in has a 'Help' file which you can read through to get an understanding of its use plus if you use the 'search' funtion here you will find that there are Milkshape Exporting tutorials somewhere here in the Forum.

Good luck.

Yes I would say that you have the wrong scale and that you do not have the 'texture' present or correctly addressed to the model which will always give you that 'white' appearence.

Its best to make sure you have the right scale in Milkshape before you Export the model.
There are a number of ways\methods which users use to scale their models in Milkshape which can also be found in the Forum by using the 'search' function here.
Plus, you can scale your models up directly within the JT exporter by changing the value in the 'Position scaling' box. Try exporting the model again but this time enter a value of '0.5' in the 'Position scaling' box and check the results.
Its best to have a 'copy' of an existing wall model from FPSC saved somewhere which you can 'merge' into your models file and ajust the scale of your model to (then delete the wall model from your file when you have the correct scale).

NOTE- Don't forget to delete the '.BIN and .DBO' files generated by FPSC before testing the model with the new changes made.

Good luck but please do use the 'search' more often because these are the sort of questions which get asked too many times and more experienced users tend to get fed up by answering them.

If you give me a moment I will post a model here for you to use as a scale reference and I will include instructions of its use.

EDIT - Here is the Milkshape scale reference model plus information in the download.

You should run "FPSCreatorCleaner.exe" to clean .dbo & .bin. Don't worry it is safe. You will find "FPSCreatorCleaner.exe" in you FPSC installed directory.

Did you do what I and zubarkhald130 have said about deleting the '.BIN and .DBO' files for the model before testing your new mesh file?

Glad to hear you have it working.
NOTE - Animated models use the JT Exporter but have 'different' values which have to be applied but until then.

BTW- It costs nothing to say 'thank you' to all who have helped.

If you have a shader 'effect' entered in the FPE file in the 'effect' line and do 'not' have extra shader texture maps then this can cause the 'black' texture showing up.Plus you must have 'Dynamic Lighting' turned 'on' in FPSC Preferences to show shader effects if the correct maps are present.
All you have to do is 'delete' any details from the 'effects' line and test again.
Don't forget to delete the '.BIN and .DBO' files generated by FPSC before testing the model with the new changes made.

I think the only way I can help you further is to take a look at 'all' the files you have there and test it myself.

If you would like me to take a look then could you please send me the files (zipped - use winzip or winrar) to my e-mail address below:
