Custom models on G-mod

Did you try to copy the models from the CSS model folder to Garry's MOD model folder...?
Extract them with GCFScape.

 

[halflifeguy]

yeah i have........... i might not have put them in the right place though
if i didint put them in the right place where did i put them?

 

[Ti133700N]

if i didint put them in the right place where did i put them?

You're the only one to know.

 

[crackhead]

hes posted five times in a row! that is so bad if i did that they would probally like burn down my house or something.

 

[halflifeguy]

well if i were to put the CS weapon files into a G-mod folder, which one would it be?

 

[Ti133700N]

The same as CSS /models. Then you have to put the textures into materials/model/.

 

[halflifeguy]

i have done that............
it doesnt work......


Edit. I did what u said and im guessing thats the right place you put them cus when i spawn them they have the purple checker texture......so maybe im still not doing something right or it just wont work with these models.........

 

[Ti133700N]

That means the textures are not at the right place (the models are in the right directory).

 

[halflifeguy]

then wtf do i do?
lol
or is it something i cant fix..........

 

[Ti133700N]

You extract the missing textures to the right directory. Look at where they are in the gcf and put them in the corresponding directory of the G-Mod folder. What did you extract exactly? (the materials)

 

[halflifeguy]

the folders for the materials are called "v_models" and w_models" and i put them in Valve/steam/steamapps/sourcemods/g-mod/materials/weapons

 

[Ti133700N]

ok, mine are in
materials/models/weapons/v_models
and
materials/models/weapons/w_models

so i put them in
Valve/steam/steamapps/sourcemods/g-mod/materials/models/weapons/v_models
and
Valve/steam/steamapps/sourcemods/g-mod/materials/models/weapons/w_models

 

[halflifeguy]

yes..........thats how they are arranged......
i just copied and pasted them from the Cs folder to the g-mod folder.......
what version are u running?
im running 8.3b

They're still purple checkered!!!!!!!!!!!ahhhhhhhh

 

[Ti133700N]

8.3b

Show me a print screen of Windows Explorer with the /SourceMods directories (hierarchy up to v_models).
