All of the entities you get with FPSC are not enough and dont really want to go around buying loads of model packs etc. So does anyone know of some good entity creation software, it does not have to be free I just need to create entites that will set my game apart from other FPSC games.

Well, you have to remember, Creating an ENTITY is different from creating a model. If your talking about MODELING, then i suggest MILKSHAP or FRAGMOTION, if your talking about already haveing the model and texture, and you just need to make it work in FPSC, there are a few ways you can do that.

- manually
Copy an existing FPE and change it to your needs

- E.C.S. Lite
A free application that makes entitys for you (you NEED the model though)
Check my sig for link

- E.C.S. PRO
A 5$ app that is very easy to use, and has a ton more features that lite (but you still need a model)
Check my sig for link


- official entity maker
Go to http://www.fpscreator.com for the official entity maker

I actually recommend ECS Pro.It's only $5 and well worth it.
I know that in ECS Pro you see your entity and you can get an idea of scale.It also allows you to import a variety of model formats not just .x.It also allows you to use a variety of image formats and converts that into an FPSC ready entity.
ECS Lite is free and is available on Bullshock's site:

Ok right i looked at E.C.S and it looks really good, I got 1 other question, How do you create models and what software can you use.
I'm assuming that you can make textures in photoshop and other programs like that.

Ok thats fantastic
What i'm gonna do is create the shape in milkshape 3d, export it as a .x file then bring it into E.C.S. Ok now that its in E.C.S i need to texture it I have got a program called the The Gimp which is basically the same as photoshop only alot cheeper. How do I create textures for my models, for instance a simple wooden box how would I create a texture for that box so that each side was the same and that it looked like a wooden box.
Thanks,
Will
