I rigged a character and his animations work fine in the game, except for the fact that he is face-down! Is there a way to correct this in the FPE? I know fixnewy fixes the y-axis, so I tried fixnewx, but it has no effect.

More then likely this is an issue with the way you've exported. Or it is in my case as I've had this happen. Sometimes even if the "Left handed axis" is checked it dose not export this way with animations. This never seems to happen to me with static objects. I often export the same object 2 or more times without changing anything and this straightens him up in FPSC. You may also notice that your check your settings and after you export Left Handed is again unchecked( it should remember the previously used settings). You can try the RotX: -90 but many times this will place your char half in the floor. I belive this to be more a plugin issue then your problem man.

And fix new Y probly just rotates the guy on the face down position huh? Try to export it again. Don't use "export selected" clear the scene of anything you may have placed for size reference and use "Export". Make sure that the settings are exactly like on the FPSC tutorial page. I've even noticed that exporting the TGA with the model has effected it's position for some screwy reason.

Yeah, it's funny. Before I rigged it, I exported it and used it as a static entity to see what it would look like in the game, and it worked perfect. But once rigged, it is flipped face-down. I tried re-exporting it several times but it still comes out face-down.
I've attached a screenshot of the static entity before it was rigged.

How do you rotate the character around the x-axis in the fpe file? I can't repostion it in the modeller, because it is positioned correctly before it is rigged. Once it's rigged with the biped and exported, it shows up face-down in FPSC. But it can't be rotated once it is rigged, it has no effect... unless some one else knows a way.

yeah you can rotate the biped but soon as you apply the .bip file it goes back to up in 3dmax. Use this man.

;orientation
model = bouncer.x
offx = 0
offy = 0
offz = 0
rotx = -90or maybe 90 depending. Bet its "-"
roty = 0
rotz = 0
scale = 100
fixnewy = 180"
