You define the entity's animations in the entity's FPE file.

Look for a section like this...

;animationinfo
animmax = 100
anim0 = 190,209
anim1 = 210,234
anim2 = 235,259
anim3 = 260,279
anim4 = 280,299

The animation info defines the animations.
Explanations are given in the FPSC Manual and the Official Community Guide to FPSC, which are both in the DOCS folder.

The animations must be in order, and the frames defined must increment not decrement.
So...

;animationinfo
animmax = 100
anim0 = 190,209
anim1 = 210,234
anim4 = 235,259
anim3 = 260,279
anim2 = 280,299

OR

;animationinfo
animmax = 100
anim0 = 190,209
anim1 = 240,234
anim2 = 235,259
anim3 = 260,279
anim4 = 280,299


would be incorrect, and cause an error.

The animations themselves must be ordered lowest to highest.

The first number of the frame assignments is the beginning frame of the animation and the second number is the last frame in the animation.
That is why they must be in order with the lowest number first.


You can skip animation assignments but the ones defined must be in order.
So

;animationinfo
animmax = 100
anim0 = 190,209
anim1 = 210,234
anim2 = 235,259
anim3 = 260,279
anim4 = 280,299
anim21 = 1235,1259
anim32 = 60,79
anim43 = 1280,1299

Would be okay to do.

Note:
anim32 = 60,79

It is okay to use whichever frames you want, as long as the animation is in sequential order (which here anim32 is in order)
AND the frames are in sequential order. (which here it is because the first number 60 is lower than the second number 79)


Also, FPSC uses 20 frames per second, so if you keep that in mind and you will get the timing results desired for synching with music etc.

It sounds complicated but it is not that bad.
I hope this reply helps more than it confuses you.

I downloaded your ZIP file thinking it was the model and its files, but it was only a JPG screenshot.

Just so you know, you can upload jpg and png images to the forum without zipping them.

From the image it looks as if the model is not finding the textures or something.

Sometimes the APPEAR1.FPI can mess it up, so try using APPEAR2.FPI for the models appear script.

There also may be a scaling problem if you did not use a stock model to scale yours.
If the model is tiny tiny, then you might not be able to see it.

You made the model a character (ISCHARCTER=1), so it might be better to include some of the other animated states like 2 for walk and 5 for run , etc.
Again, the Official Community Guide to FPSC has an explanation of which animations are set up for which character actions.

It could be something else of course, but these are a few things that can cause problems.

I leave my animmax=100 instead of making it smaller.

If it still doesn't work, then I can take a look at it for you if you post the model and its files here in a ZIP or email them to me.
Let me know if you do not want to post it here (make it public) and I can send you an email if ou give me your email address.

EDIT
I just noticed you use spaces in your file names.
I'm not sure if it would make a difference or not, but I avoid using spaces in file names...
my model.x

would be ...

my_model.x

I replace the spaces with underscores.
The same for the name of the texture file too.

ZIP up the 4 files needed for FPSC...

Model file .X
Thumbnail .BMP (64x64)
Entity File .FPE
Texture .PNG in your case, but I like to use DDS.

... Then I can play around and test it to see if I can get it going or figure out what is going wrong.

No, I have not made weapons with iron sights.
I was just trying to give a little help on the other model.
Let's try to get this model that you have animated sorted out, and then you will be able to get your animations in FPSC.

...and you send me a 3DS file??? lol

It's okay though, because I think I found the problem...

From your first post I thought you already knew how to animate the model, but now I realize you need help with animating not just importing.

You need to have a skeleton for animation (joints/bones), just creating the frames doesn't cut it.

1) You need to make a skeleton.

2) Then, assign vertices to each joint so that those vertices will be controlled by that joint.

3) Then, you set keyframes at whatever intervals you need to create the animation.

The joints/bones are positioned for the keyframe, and the other frames inbetween the keyframes are generated by the program.

This is a really basic explanation of animating your model.
I suggest you search your modeling program's forums for tutorials.
I'm sure there are hundreds of tutorials for your 3ds Max.
I use Milkshape 3D, so I won't be much help for this, but let me know if you need help importing once you get your animations sorted out.

Glad I could help.....but....this is the stock us Airborne model.
Nice retexture though.

You shouldn't be redistributing TGC's model, even here in the forums, because it is a copyright infringement. (also known as software piracy)

Sharing your retexture is okay as long as it is all your work, but sharing their model is not okay.

Here is a screenshot of a model that I made out of primitives today... (see attached image)
