ok what the hell

[boedy]

hi everyone. this is my problem --> in xsi i made a model for hl2. i allready want to see how it looks ingame. but results were weird. look at the screenshots. one is made in xsi, the other in model viewer. this realy sucks. please somebody help me!!

 

[crackhead]

<sarcasm>hmm i wonder who will help this person oh it cant be me because im not a valued member of the forums.</sarcasm>

what is the model btw. a bin? it looks to me like your meshes are seperate. you need to be exporting one single mesh. so select them all and go to create>polymesh>mergeand move the slidey thing down to zero and also select to merge all attributes so that you dont lose your texture and uv coordinates.

 

[mindless_moder]

<sarcasm>in max you could do all that with one button </sarcasm>

 

[crackhead]

<Sarcasm> wow you managed to find one whole thing that max is slightly better at than xsi. im impressed</sarcasm>

 

[boedy]

thnx it worked

 

[mindless_moder]

<sarcasm> well that and the red compile button </sarcasm>

 

[archvilell]

I sense tension.

stfu with the app war >: (

 

[armanguy]

fight fight fight!!

 

[crackhead]

i herefore declare that i win.

 

[boedy]

ok next problem, i know compiled the model and i already have it my map, but when i compile my map i cant see it ingame. its just empty

 

[crackhead]

theres probally a leak in your map. or maybe your adding it as something its not like theres lots of types of props. did you have $staticprop in your qc file?

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

leaks in your map don't stop models from showing up.
Oh, and quit the stupid bickering.

 

[crackhead]

theres no bickering here and yes leaks in the map can stop models showing up correctly.

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

Oh really? Care to explain how?

 

[crackhead]

i dont know the technical reasons for why this happens.

 

[boedy]

this is my qc file

$modelname "buiten\prullenbak.mdl"
$cdmaterials "buiten\"

$scale 1
$surfaceprop "metal"


$body studio "prullenbak1_ref.smd"

$sequence idle "prullenbak1_idle.smd" fps 1

$collisionmodel "prullenbak1_phys.smd" {
$mass 20
$concave
}

and i have this ass compile log

hmm is this the problem?

 

[crackhead]

what prop are you opening it in. try opening it as a propphysics and if not try putting $staticprop in your qc file and opening it as a propstatic.

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

i dont know the technical reasons for why this happens.

That's because it doesn't.

 

[crackhead]

now whos bickering.

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

Let's see. On the one hand we have back and forth arguing over who's 3D application is better, surrounded by psuedo-sarcasm tags. On the other hand, we have one person making a factual claim and another person disagreeing with it.
The first example is bickering. The second one isn't. If you don't have anything useful to say (or if what you say is just plain wrong), then say nothing.

 

[boedy]

it worked, well here. my second model . it's a garbage bin in holland.

 

[crackhead]

what im saying isnt wrong.

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

I'm afraid that it is.

NIce model, boedy.

 

[mindless_moder]

hey PI mate we were just joking im sorry if it looked like bickering . me and crackhead have a bit of a love hate thing going on with xsi and max.
btw nice model do you have reference pics ? . are you planning on texturing it ? if so it would be nice to see a reference so that we can help you out along the way.

 

[crackhead]

plenty of times ive placed a prop and it hasnt shown up then ive found there was a leak. fixed it and the prop has shown up.

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

Well, it's certainly not something that I've ever experienced, seen, heard of or read about. The only times that I've ever known models to not show up is if the model is bad, or the wrong prop type is used. I can't see any technical reason why a leak would affect the visibility of props.

 

[crackhead]

and this has happend with valve made props using the correct prop type.

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

It's still not something that I've ever experienced, seen, heard of or read about.
