Hey guys. I am getting good at making bump maps now, but I am just wondering if it is possible at all to make bump maps appear in FPS Creator.

I beleive you have to name them in sequence along with your texture. example, if your segement wall texture was stone_1D.tga, your bump map sould be stone_2D.tga or somthing along those lines, I think theres a scripe involved with this also, I'm almost positive I seen this explained in the one of the video tutorials that came free with the FPSC segment editor the TGC released awhile back.

Don't know if fpsc handles bump maps since it uses normal maps. In the video tuts for the segment editor it explains the naming convention to use. In short this is how its like. It uses a suffix to determine which textures to load.

mytexture_D2.tga - The D2 tells it that this is the bitmap to use when no shader are used.

With shader turned on, fpsc will load these files, if found, based on the root filename.

_D - Diffuse map
_N - Normal map
_S - Specular map
_I - Illumniation map

eg. mytexture_D.tga, mytexture_N.tga, mytexture_S.tga, etc

Joh's right, I watched the tutorials again and it states what Joh said above. I watched the video awhile ago and got it confused with some other video tutorials I watched on max.
