1. I was wondering why TGC chose to use only Vista for FPSC X10, and not Windows XP too. Someone told me that Vista has a few bugs still.

2. I was also wondering if there is (or will be) a custom entity maker for X10. It would also be nice if you could make your own walls, floors, stairs, windows, and bad guys in the X10 entity maker.

Thankyou!

1. There certain features and parts of FPSC X10 that only work in windows Vista and rely on Vista for them to function. Also they already have an XP version of FPS creator no need to make another one.

2. There is no entity maker that you speak of as of now... but someone may make one in the future you never know as there are few entity maker for the FPSC Classic.

As for making walls etc there are a lot different threads about doing these things all over the forum... and there are members working on new tutorials all the time.

Milkshape still makes models (although X10 can be a bit picky about which ones it will accept without crashing) and MagicFPS still works for importing them, although you do have to copy the files manually from a mock-up FPS Creator to the FPS Creator X10 folder.
EDIT: Oh, and by the way... I'm back!!! Did you miss me?

Why would you want a custom entity maker when the ones for X9 works 100%.

Uh huh mmhm your doing some thing wrong then?

Quote: "2. There is no entity maker that you speak of as of now... but someone may make one in the future you never know as there are few entity maker for the FPSC Classic."
Maybe you should check again
if your talking about making the entities then your sadly mistaken Wethams entity workshop 2 is 100% percent compatible with X10 it even works in vista.I should know I have been using it long enough to make and change entities.I even use entity work shop to resize segments to be used in TGC's FPS segment creator.

When you say "100%" does that mean that they handle the normal and specular maps and edit the fpe properly? Also do they place everything in the correct X10 directories?

Just asking because I head that there were problems with such things.

Ever copied n' paste. Ever used note pad.If you barely comprehend specular and normal maps you shouldn't be tinkering with entities in the first place point period.

No one is going to hand things on a silver platter for you get use to it.Simple really if you can't take a simple file, copy it to another directory use the in game fpe editing menu to apply shaders.What are you doing FPSC?

You have every thing you need to do so ? Please by all means argue with me on this one and I will do a complete tutorial on importing and making entities for X10 if I'm wrong.Thats how easy it is to create entities/importing for X10 try me.

I'm not arguing. I'm not sure why you want to go there.
The last line in my previous post says it all.

You still didn't answer my questions. So I think it logical to assume that they are not "100%."

There's been a flood of frustrated noob posts lately. So I think it's an important point for them.

Ah well X9 software does work with X10 if you take into account that the software was not designed with shaders in mind.

Still it's so easy just to copy the spec,normal and diffuse over to the correct directory and add a simple line of code to the Fpe file what shader to use...and if you can't do that just enter the shader into the editor entity properties menu...

Any ways I think I'll do a proper tutorial explaining every thing from scaling to textures
