FPSC Classic Models and Media / icon images in place of models?

This is my first question about FPS Creator so I hope I'm putting this into the correct area. It has to do with the Models and media so I'm assuming this is right. Anyway...

I have noticed that a fair amount of models appear as an icon that looks the same as the one you click on to select them from the main page of FPS Creator. So when I select one and place it in my level, it appears as a dot. When I test the level, it's invisible, although it does shoot at me. I mean it's great for invisible enemies, but i don't think that was the intended purpose because realistically, one invisible enemy would be sufficient, and there are a fair number of them available.

I suspect they are missing a texture? I mean it appears to be that way since they are invisible, although I'm only guessing. Has anyone else had this happen? if it is a missing texture, then I'm a NOOB and could use some guidance in attaching the proper textures to the appropriate models.

Thanks in advance.

if its a white dot, that means the FPE if i am correct is looking for a .x model that either is named wrong, or dosen't exist.

Hopefully this clears things up, also what version of the engine are you using?

Hi defiler, thanks for responding. When this problem first occurred was right off the bat. I was using the free version. Then I bought it, applied the 1.17 update and it seemed to continue. I just applied the 1.18 beta 10 upgrade today. Still there.

If it is missing from one of the model packs that I bought then it would seem that someone would have brought this up before, but i searched for quite a while last night on the boards and haven't noticed it yet.

So my guess is, that I would have to search through the .x models and hopefully find the one that is named wrong or perhaps missing?

Also, I noticed a couple of gray skinned enemies in one of the sample levels that comes with fpsc. Does that mean it's missing its skin? Sorry to throw so much out there. Answer at your leisure of course. I am currently working on getting used to fpsc but when I ran into this I figured I'd toss it out there.

Thanks

Just an update here on my issues. My official CD came in the mail so I installed it and applied the latest update (1.18 beta 10) and wala! All missing pieces, icons and textures showed up. I was told that by installing the CD I would gain another 2/3rds in resources, and I did. Cool. I almost called in sick today just so i could spend all day playing with FPS Creator. I'm loving this.
