I am trying to use my own custom buildings but they are failing to load and i am getting this message quite a lot followed by the "FPM file is corrupt".



Anyone any clue what the cause of this might be?

really need help on this one. Tried a system restore, still didnt work...



info



building model is approximately 6000 faces

all _D, _S and _N .dds files are present and correct as is .x, bmp file and scripting file. In theory it should be FPSCR ready.



here is the problematic model if anyone cares to look. It is meant to be a 2 storey building with a staircase and 6 rooms. Texturing is not completed btw hence filename. Will constitute the first in a (British isles) pack, if i get the help to find correct construction and implementation method.

a thousand thanks for any assistance and props to anyone if i ever complete a game.

the file is blank m8 i cant even see a wire frame :/ the .x file is only 1kb so it has not converted to .x properly do you have the same file in .obj or something els.

thanks tattie



I am using blender to export, turns out blender was coming up with some sort of error message when i was attempting to export to .x which i did'nt spot, hence the problem. I've circumvented this by exporting into .obj and doing the conversion through milkshape but now i am getting the dreaded white dot where the model should be. The file size is now 1.8 megs though.



Its still not working but at least FPSCR doesnt grind to a halt anymore.

Did you make the model if so feel free to send it and i can have a look at it for you

Sure, here is the updated version

It will show up now m8 but the textures haven't taken.

thanks tattie, looks like i'm back to square one though

Texturing can be a pain but when you get the hang of it Jason Forth (unfamillia) does amazing videos to help people out.

Texturing isnt an issue for me per sae, ive pretty much nailed it, at least as far as blender is concerned. The issue is probably in part due to the blender-FPSCR conversion process.



i suspect the problem may be partly my construction technique. I'm deciding to use much more of a IKEA flatpack technique when it comes to assembling buildings. Perhaps FPSCR will handle it better in smaller parts or something.

I've found that when exporting to .x from blender, one of the options is to use left-handed or right-handed. One displayed correctly in DarkGDK, the other didn't. But DarkGDK really doesn't handle/show most large models properly once the size gets beyond a certain point - I suspect due to poor memory management. Hopefully that's been fixed in FPSC-R??
