Model problems - what could I be doing wrong/ - 09/28/12 05:48

I converted a animated FBX file to MDL and manage to import it into my level in the WED, and it looks like its going to work, but when I build and render I get the message "can't open zombi.mdl"

Any ideas?

It is textured with a bmp, which previews ok in WED. The level and the player model render normally, but no zombi model.

the engine dont find your zombi.mdl, make sure that your zombi mdl is in your work/model folder

If your model is in a seperate folder you have to define the folder name in your script like this

#define PRAGMA_PATH "models"
#define PRAGMA_PATH "models\zombies"

Ah, okay, moving the model worked. I thought that if you imported a model from somewhere else the engine would automatically know where it is when it was ready to use it.
