Hi! I've posted this in the WED and MED already but nobody seems to be able to tell me what is wrong.
A new MDL is brought into my level and now it won't run anymore. On removing the problem is solved but I want this model into the level. It's nothing too ordinairy: about 2400 poly's (I have one in the level of 33000! and it still runs fine at 74 fps) and a skin of 128-128-24 of 64kb. Does anyone recognizes this or has an explanation of what could be wrong here?
Did you saved the mdl with the latest MED? If the mdl file is newer then the used engine, there *could* be problems because the engine can't read the file the rigth way. So make sure that all files are updated, MED and the Engine.

Success is walking from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.
Tried MDL5 and MDL7 Procedure of modelling and skinning nothing different as usual. Just removed skin: no positive result; Reduced poly on mesh by 89%: no positive result either. It's no more complex than a chair.mdl made in the same way. MDL name is not longer as others..
I've found the solution and feel I must share this with all intrested. Maybe it was too obvious for the more expert veterans around but:
The problem was the name I gave the model! I named it playerbed.mdl for easy reference but the 'player'-bit confused the engine... So, changed name and it runs like a dream again
Infact, I don't think it was the name, did you re-save the model under a different name? Then that's what solved it ..
I have a terrain model that will freeze the engine no matter what I do with the model. It turned out to be a corrupted file. Just resaving it with MED solved it. A model named playerbed.mdl is definately no problem,
A model named playerbed.mdl is definately no problem,
