JaredxD: Sorry for the late reply, I just got back home this morning. You need to download all the parts to properly install the pack. You need to download the textures, and install them into your texturebank to solve your problem.

You will notice in our Download Manager the authors whose media are more than 1 part, we put Part 1, part 2, etc in the title, and the description has Part 1/5, 2/5, etc. That means that there are # parts to the entire pack. If you download just part 4, then the segments will be white unless you get the other parts to go with that part.

Ok thanks for the replies.
Cosmic: No problem for the late reply, I'm Aussie anyways
I have downloaded 1, 2, 3, 4, so I should download the rest of the parts I guess

Doesn't work still
I downloaded the texture bank part of the pack, extract the entire folder into texture bank, and the segments come out white still
do i need to extract them to a special place?

did you put texturebank folder in texterubank folder?
Put only that folder what is inside of that texturebank folder.

There is always hope somewhere.

Yes, I downloaded, Right clicked on the first folder to come up(texturebank) which has lots of folders in it, then clicked extract to the specified folder, which is fpscreator>texturebank.

Well in my segment folder, in Cosmic Prophet, I have a folder, Scifi Mega Pack, I go into it, and there are the folders walls, Custom, doors, floors, platforms, Rooms.

How do I figure out the "path"?

Inside those folders, look for the fps files. For example, let's look at the Floors folder. Inside the Floors folder, you will see bmps, fps, and png files. I want to check the file floor1.fps, so I open that file in notepad. It has the following line in the file:

texture0 = segments\CosmicProphet\floors\floor1.png

This tells me that the texture used for this item is pointing to the segments\CosmicProphet\floors\floor1.png file. If the png file is not there, the segment will be white.

That's how you troubleshoot segments appearing in white. You note what the segment file is (fps file), and view the fps in notepad, look for any lines that have "texture# = <path to texturefile>" and check to ensure those files are in the correct path.

Sometimes things get missed, or paths get mislabeled, particularly on big projects like Cosmic's work. I can verify that we have tested all of Cosmic's work and it all checks out correctly on our end. IIRC, I did have to fix a couple of path lines in a few fps files, but if you follow my instructions, you can fix any that were missed.

There are two packs to Cosmic's Sci-Fi-> Mega Pack Vol 1&2, and Vol 3. One of the packs has "5" parts.

Link is: FPS-Media

@ Cosmic- I fixed that segments part for you and re-uploaded to FPS-Media. That should fix any future issues.

Sweet! I've been using your stuff in the Unreal Dev Kit. It looks pretty sweet when you tweak it right...
