A. Use a programme such as photoshop or GIMP. Then use tuts to learn basic textures.
B. Dont really know, but fully custom models are very difficult.
C. Create the texture and use a programme like signs or Magic FPS. Its alot quicker and gives good results.
D. I dont really know.

I think your going ahead of yourself here, if your not experienced in 3D creation, you wont be able to create characters straight away. Start of with Boxes or easy to create objects with simple textures.
Use alot of tutorials and get used to the programmes before attempting anything major. But good luck.

A. I recommend photoshop it's hard at first then it gets incredibly easy to make textures if you work at it
B. either that or another 3rd party program like milkshape, 3ds max, ect
C. open up a previes segment and compare the two

d. again do that with characters like I said in C

If you use Wethams Entity Maker or Shop or whatever it's called, you will have a reference for size of segments and characters. Also, it's free.

You also could simply load the mesh of an fpsc character/floor/wall to check size.

Can I have a link to that wethams thing? I cant seem to find it with a search engine.

Also, are the tuts just on the forums or are they somewhere else? And is there a way I can make my own scripts for enemies and such, are their any tuts for that?

Thanks for your help guys. Id like to start this project as soon as possible...as soon as my computer gets enough ram to run fps creator >_< It requires the exact amount of ram my computer has.
