Hey guys,

I have been trying to get some of my media across to x10 to please the masses

However whenever I seem to try and create a segment, it is either invisible or it is stupidly bright, even with the ambient light at zero.

Have searched through This thread but just ended up with invisible segments.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks,

We have this issue on the community forum also and we have as of yet not found a defiant answer to it.

Most likely fixes:

- Encoding of your dds files are wrong mgarand told me the ones you need but i have forgotten
- Invisible segments are almost always caused by error in FPE file.

Thanks man,
Yeah The funny thing is that I have had the segment working with really bright textures, but then i changed the alpha on the _d, _d2 and the _s texture and they then became invisible. How strange.

By the way you do not need the d2 map for segments.. And the problem might just be in your Specular map. Open up your image editor and go to the brightness and contrast. Turn the brightness down and the contrast up until the image is black, or turn the contrast up until you have the desire whiteness on what you wont to be shinny.. Remember to get rid of all your .dbo and .bin files each time you change any entity or segment in fps creator X10. hope that helps.
