Game Models not showing up in the game?

(StormShadow) #1

I did a search, and found a topic similar to this one, but no real answer was given.

Basically, Im taking Hummers advice and converting all my models to gamemodels in an attempt to reduce my bsp size. However, the damn things wont show up in the game.

Is there something im doing wrong? Do I have to extract the model and stick it in the proper directory?

Some seem to show up, and some dont (my tank model shows up just fine for instance, but my tree models do not).

Basically im using the game models as if they were normal models.

Thanks a lot!

yeah… thats the problem i am currently having, where in my case, they show up fine, but when a server hosts and i connect they dont show… the problem seems related to misc_gamemodels, and i read somewhere there was a bug back in q3 about misc_gamemodels and single map pk3’s and them not showing up, so basicly, the way i solved the problem with my newer version map was to include the misc_gamemodels with the pk3. i often wondered why other ppl’s maps had the same models that et has, but now that makes sense… oh, and i have to include them all… because at the start, it was just the truck models not showing… after i included them the problem moved onto the barrels… and after including them it was the misc_gamemodel lights… ect… it was almost as if et was looking for some model to hide on me… like it’s alive or something and in the mood to be mischevious, lol.

but it seems to be just the misc_gamemodels since misc_models are compiled into the map and misc_gamemodels are added at gameplay, so yeah, extract em and add em plus the textures associated with them and you should be fine.
