Hi All,
I've recently reformatted my computer and did a fresh install of Fpsc, copied my backed up folder of my media into entity bank as it was before I reformatted, and now I'm getting some weird problems with one of the characters I've imported, the Hobo From my pack.
Have a look:



Any Ideas? I have no clue what's going on, It was working fine before the fresh reformat and install, if you've looked at my progress of my urban pack you can see hes in game, but now this is happening. Anyone who's imported characters have any idea?

After reinstalling everything, did you update FPSC and DirectX?

Best.

well if you look at his ss he is using the latest proper FPSC (not the v1.14 like i am)

the main thing i can think of is the Direct x, make sure its V9.0c

check by going start->Run->DXDIAG and that will tell you the stats

Try loading the Direct X file back into your modelling program, it may possibly be a corrupt file, in which case a re-export is required.

It isn't likely to be a DX problem, since the floor is fine, the shadow blob is there, and the writing seems to work. I imagine you have tried stock characters right?

Sweet, A re-export worked just fine. But now for some reason he is half way through the floor. I've tried editing the model orientation, and it looks like it works in the editor, but when running a test game he is still sunken into the floor.

Anybody?

Try placing a bone linked to the root at the origin (0,0,0), or a single tri placed at 0,0,0 (make it tiny).

correct. It's a mesh issue. Make sure you use skin&bones templates. you didn't have to with the old versions, but the newer updates require it!

Yeah, that bone [first one] has to be on the floor. (it looks as if your model's main bone[root] is near his knee)

I figured out my animations problem.
It was a default animation time factor setting in milkshape's x(jt) exporter that needed to be edited.

I recently reformatted my hard drive too. (thats why MilkShape was a fresh install)
Gotta love reformatting right?

P.S.
I like the Hobo model.
Nice

Butters

How is progress going with getting your hardcore game characters from your DBPro project into FPSC. The ones you showcased with shaders. The prophets of elijah.

Those characters rocked man. Just like in the film aliens when Vasquez shouts LETS ROCK followed by a burst of heavy artillery. I think I fancied her. Damn you Gorman.

@Crav3 - Use fragmotion to move the first bone in the model to the floor. You can just import your model fully intact, re position the bone and export the fixed version back into FPSC.

Yeah, recently sorted my milkshape for FPSC exports, but I'm still using 210. Still I put everything through Fragmotion after export now anyway, and compress the Xfile, to make it smaller.

How you get FragMOTION to export the proper X format for FPSC???

I never could get FragMOTION X files to work in FPSC, hence MilkShape 3D.

LOL

Just goes to show how temperamental FPSC is, because I can't get models to work in FPSC without laundering them through fragmo
