Can't insert models into my map... Any help?

(KolosoK) #1

I am trying to load a model into my map.

Here is what I do step by step:

  1. Right click on one of the white windows.
  2. Select misc.
  3. Click misc_model. (By the way, the same thing happens with misc_gamemodel)
  4. Search for a model in one of the et\etmain\models folders
  5. Select one of the models

Any models I try to insert come up as a square with a + in the middle. Is this normal? I mapped for RTCW and that square was there unless the model file was missing or corrupt. How can I fix this?

i assume you are using an old version of GTk radiant that has the model bug. To fix it you need to change the value line in the Entities box to something like
models/mapobjects/plants/bush.md3 (in other words get rid of all the text before “models”) then press return. This is a commom bug so if you still have problems then search this forum as the question has been asked many times

you have to locate your et.game file in c:/…/gtkradiant/ folder (easy way is to just search for et.game) open it up with wordpad. you will see the modelpath there, and you’ll notice it has an extra / at the end. remove that slash. another similar problem i had was that for some reason radiant was looking for sprite filetypes by default, that was a difficult one to fix (just because it was easily overlooked). but anyway, that should fix your problem. unless you plan on using custom models, i would recommend using misc_gamemodels instead of misc_models too.

Thank you for the replies. I will try both of these ideas.

I am using GTK 1.4 (the latest “stable” version). Is there a newer one out?

Edit: Vitriol, thank you! Both of your ideas worked, but Vit’s fixed it for every model!
