My model isnt showing up when I run WED... - 05/07/06 21:19

I've made plenty of custom models and they all showed up fine when I run my game. But the last model i made i cant get to show up. I've done what I always do to make it. I make it in Anim8or then skin it in MED and it shows up fine in WED, but when I run my game all i get is an invisible solid area where it should be. In case this helps, I've put about 200 models into this level.

The camera may get burried by your model,
move the camera some distances apart of
your model in WED then try again.

A similar issue happened to me. I have a working level with objects and I'm trying to bring load a .MDL and all I see is a wireframe block. Not sure what happened there.

EDIT: What do you mean by "move the camera some distances apart of your model"?

Well I may be wrong, but the way I have it set up, I don't think the camera is the problem. I start out in an area with plenty of space then when I turn down the hallway (I'm using the cbabe mdl with the player walk fight action) where the models should be, I see nothing, alothough the other models in the level show fine. Its just those two (the locker and door) that don't. Then again, I might be wrong.

Post #3: As for the wire frame problem, have you made sure that the mdl file is in the same folder as the level? That's usually what my problem is when i get that error.

Yes I even start a new level and load the .mdl and its a wireframe box I see whereas when I load a warlock .mdl I see him fine. Maybe I just got a bad .mdl file..no biggie.

Thanks

JoeMama What is your model’s skin texture format? If it’s a targa you might want to check that the alpha channel did not some how become filled making the model invisible when the engine runs it. Other then that I would double check the basics (flags, file locations and actions) .

Here's a picture of my texture settings on the model. I've used similar settings for the other models that do show up.
