hello everyone, first let me start by saying curiously I did a search in the forum and found nothing for the question I'm about to ask, so please no one shout at me to used the search bar, I have. If you do know of a place where the answer is GRAND! please just tell me. Now, on with the question!

I have a model of a casket I made in Anim8or, converted it to .x in blender and used the entity maker supplied by FPSC to make it into an entitiy. I had a cheap tga file for a texture just to see if it worked and loaded it all up in X10, got everything finished, and tried to run a test in fpsc and... the model didn't appear. Any idea why guys?

"the model did not appear" means you could not find it on the right blank when you open fps creator? or you put it in the level and push "test" button, there was nothing ? which case is it?

Put it in the level hit test, no casket. Was strange because it was in the entity bank with the rest of them.

Here is the model .x, maybe there is something wrong with blender's export but it seemed ok.

well i would click on the casket size it down to normal view, go to edit and then locate and stand on ground, then the same thing except stand on organ, export it as an .obj, then load it up in milkshape and then reexport as an 3ds file

yeah but it doesn't let me export... I tried using milkshape as an exporter first thing because it was the popular answer in the boards for a .x converter

alright, I made the casket into a lightwav, imported it to milkshape and have it in scale. The settings are at 1.0 in X Y and Z. I'm going to take them all up to 10.0 yeah?

A who what? I found the size issue. Blender was set default size of 10.0 instead of 100.0 I set it proper and saved it at 100 size, cam out really well in the picture for the model bank and such but sadly still didn't appear in the test game. maybe the entity maker doesn't work for x10

I put the green.tga texture on it that comes with the entity maker. Do I need to texture it for the .x as well?

ok, you need to get a uv mapper to make a map, a map is your model laid out so you can put textures on it and collor it, then save the map, that map is the texture for your model. load your model up in an editor, milkshape then apply your texture map to that model then export the model. put bolth the textured map and .x file in to convert it to fps.
