Linux .ASE Picomodel problems

(Hewster) #1

I’m having trouble with a few of my .ase models loading & compiling
under Linux.

The errors simply says “Error: cannot load pico-model” or such like.
here is a small walllight model that doesn’t load:
http://www.deevickery.btinternet.co.uk/ww/forum_stuff/q3map2/files/ase_walllight_model.zip

If I use NPherno’s md3 tool, and convert the ase to a md3, it loads ok.

There are other models that it won’t load, but most are fine ?
btw, all seems ok under Windows.

Maybe this is not directly a q3map2 issue, but I thought you would be a
good person to notify ?

Are the paths correctly specified using / slashes in the misc_model?

Yes… here a snippet from the walllight model:

I cannot find why this is happening on certain models :frowning:
I’ve tried using shaders from models which DO work, and still no-go
I’ll try exporting the individual meshes & see which particular mesh
is causing the problem.

I can only think its a problem with the Linux pico-model implementation ?

Where are you putting the model in the Linux directory tree?

I’ve tried from both:

/usr/local/games/wolfenstein/WildWest/models/

and

/root/.wolf/WildWest/models/

I’ll continue to try resolving this issue , until I can say what exactly it is about these
models that stops them loading.
(although I simply using .md3 for now)
