Oh no, compiling problems.

[Retrocide]

Well, Crackhead and I have been working on compiling my model correctly. Sofar the model and animations part works, however, the textures are a bit stubborn. So here is my QC file write up, this is not complete with other stuff that need to be impliment but isn't associated with the problem.

$modelname "COLT_Rifle"
$scale 1.00
$cdmaterials "models\COLT_Riflem"

$body "Body" "C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\retrocide\half-life 2\hl2\models\COLT_Rifle\COLT_Reference.smd"
$sequence "Idle" "C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\retrocide\half-life 2\hl2\models\COLT_Rifle\COLT_Idle.smd" fps 30.000 ACT_IDLE 1 rotate 90.000

$sequence "Run" "C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\retrocide\half-life 2\hl2\models\COLT_Rifle\COLT_Run.smd" fps 30.000 ACT_RUN 1 rotate 90.000

$sequence "Reload" "C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\retrocide\half-life 2\hl2\models\COLT_Rifle\COLT_Rload.smd" fps 30.000 rotate 90.000 {
ACT_VM_RELOAD 1 node Ready
}

$sequence "Draw" "C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\retrocide\half-life 2\hl2\models\COLT_Rifle\COLT_Draw.smd" fps 30.000 rotate 90.000 {
ACT_VM_DRAW 1 node Ready
}

$sequence "Fire" "C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\retrocide\half-life 2\hl2\models\COLT_Rifle\COLT_Fire1.smd" fps 30.000 rotate 90.000 {
ACT_VM_PRIMARYATTACK 1 node Fire
}

$sequence "Alt fire" "C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\retrocide\half-life 2\hl2\models\COLT_Rifle\COLT_Gfire.smd" fps 30.000 rotate 90.000 {
ACT_VM_SECONDARYATTACK 1 node Fire
}

$surfaceprop "metal"

$collisionmodel "C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\retrocide\half-life 2\hl2\models\COLT_Rifle\COLT_Reference.smd" {
$concave
$mass 100.000
}

If any one can point out the problem, it would save us a headache.

If you could be a bit more specific about the actual issue, it would help.

 

[crackhead]

well hes compiled his model fine but the texture wont show up. the directory it links to is right and so are the vmt files for the texture.

 

[mindless_moder]

when you exported what texture did you place on the model ? and what program did you export it from ?.

 

[Retrocide]

I placed a two kinds of tga textures on the model. One for the hands and one for the gun in .tga formats. It's all one model though. I used 3DS MAX 6.

 

[clarky003]

did you make sure you didnt change the name of texture after export, and that the textures where assigned each to seperate ID's on the model?

 

[Retrocide]

I think that is one problem, ya the texture name was changed. Now since I have a hand and gun model that are one mesh how am I suppose to handle the UVW's for them. The way I did it was by selecting all the faces for just the hand models and applied the texture to just that. All their UVW's show up in one place though. Somehow I have the feeling thats wrong.

edit: NVM it works!

 

[crackhead]

it works? why didnt you tell me!

 

[mindless_moder]

was it me ??? did i help at all ?

 

[Retrocide]

Yes mindless it was and clarky003, thank you. What happened was that the texture name on the gun in 3DSM was different than the external TGA file. It was a matter of putting the texture with the correct name on the gun, exporting as an smd and compiling. (Crackhead you were missing, it must of been XSI's fault.)

 

[mindless_moder]

(Crackhead you were missing, it must of been XSI's fault.)

isnt everything ?

 

[crackhead]

[mindless_moder]
