What kind of steps are we looking at, for importing animated characters that we create with say a program like milkshape? Is it a difficult process?

Guns arn't the problem, people are the problem, shoot all the people and guns arn't a problem anymore.

Hmm. Not looked at it too in depth yet, but it wouldn't be a case of importing an existing model nadi t working right away.

If it's similar to the way guns work, I'd import an existing character into milkshape, get the dimensions, and model one off there using the same animation frames.

Some Questions:

1.So you'd have characters with exactly the same animations?
2.And you'd do that with guns, too?
3.What would happen if you just imported an animated character to FPSC?
4. Do the models that come with FPSC (WW2/Scifi) have a separate folder in the FPSC directory that you could just pull them out of and edit them for game use?

1. I think so yes.

2. No idea. I think it needs the same keyframes so fpsc can play the right animations at the right time.

3. Each is in a separate folder.

Do you mean each model in a separate folder (that's quite a few folders)
or

Each model theme is in a separate folder?
