Both models have the same basic texture (bright02) and the model on the right has a second texture (wood02).
I have attached the same material to both the models;
Code:

---

material model_statues
{
	//helderheid
	ambient_blue=10;
	ambient_green=10;
	ambient_red=10;
	//licht ontvangst
	diffuse_blue=50;
	diffuse_green=50;
	diffuse_red=50;
	//glans
	specular_blue=20;
	specular_green=20;
	specular_red=20;
	//licht afgifte
	emissive_blue=30;
	emissive_green=30;
	emissive_red=30;
	//glanspuntgrootte
	power=5;
}

Does anyone know why the material has effect on the left model and not on the right model?

try setting the models unlit flag.

If there are blocks & lights in your level, they may be recieving different light levels

Setting the Unlit flag does not help.
For the moment there are no lights in the level only an ambient light from the sun, setting 25, 25, 25.
Only thing different with the two models; at first, for the right model, I had used material setup in manage skins. Later on I have removed that setting and assigned it with the material script.
This strange behaviour still exists and I have no clue how to solve this.
Only thing I can think of is, that I remake that model from scratch.

It's not the model. Check your entities material and make sure the settings aren't different on the other model.

One of them must have sunlight on a block underneath it and the other doesn't

make sure skin is the same.

Like I said in my posts;
- the material is the same for both models
- there is no sunlight in the level (setting 0,0,0)
- the skin is the same for both models (bright02)
- left model has one skin (bright02)
- right model has two skins (bright02 and wood02)

Extra: I made these models in WED, textured them, and exported them to MED (A7)

That has to be your clue, two skins and as the 2 skin one is having the prob maybe you could delete one skin(swap if results return zero) and see what that does or like you say, recompile the model/entity.

I often run into probs like this, somehow, GStudio manages to 'hold' onto probs from one file or script and never lets go. My only recourse is to try again and note every step, but thats not always successful.

Well, all this can be true, but I made a model of a window at the same way, and this model has 4 skins and react on the material as I espected.
But I will delete one skin and see what happens.

Edit: I have found the problem, for some reason WED has saved the model also in the folder where the level is and used this model, while I have all my models in a different folder. So when I change something in a model, it did ofcourse not affect the model in the level directory.
