imported model problem?

[simon]

hi,
hope someone can help me out with this, i'm stuck :/
problem 1: i've been testing this for a few days now, and now that i finally get my model in the HAMMER editor, the textures don't seem to apply to it, and when i compile the map, i don't see my model at all?

in-game:

problem 2: when you look at the 1st screenshot, you can see i added all the "info_player" models, but when i enter the map in css, i can't join a team (teams are full it says)? what's the problem with that ?

hope someone can help, i'm desperate

Well it looks like it can't find your textures for the model, have you put them into the cs_sample_content/whatever folder AND the cstrike/ equivalent?

Some models don't appear when you make them a prop_static, try a prop_physics_override to see if that works.

For the teams are full thing, try lifting the player starts off of the ground a few grid notches.

thanks alot Stardog !
you helped on both issue's, but a new problem has occured
the players work now, and i can get my vehicle in HAMMER
(i didn't make the dirs in the sample_content folder)
this is how it looks in HAMMER:

and this is in-game

this is a prop_physic_override btw... with a prop_statis i get nothing, no even the ERROR model, so i guess the physic_override is the way to go, but why wont it show in-game ?

anyone ?

well, i've got the model working in the mapeditor.. with textures
when i run it in-game, the model is there, the collision model works, except my textures are purple/black :/

thanks

It must be something about the location of the textures. Are the textures in the cstrike/wherever-the-textures-are-supposed-to-go-folder?

I think Hammer looks for the textures in the sourcesdk/ folders, but cs looks for them in cstrike/, make sure you copy and paste them to the cstrike/wherever-model-textures-go folder aswell.
