Trying to compile my first model but I keep getting "PrisonerT.MDL" Not found Created 1 year ago2023-04-01 05:41:35 UTC by CamCurtis

Like it says in the title, I've spent 5 hours trying to get this to work but to no avail.

I understand it's a texture file but I don't get where it's come from and why it keeps happening.

Is it because I have multiple textures on my model? If so, how do I make a T.MDL file? There seems to be no tutorials on this anywhere.

I can't help much, you'll have to wait for someone knowledgeable, but meanwhile do a search for "External Textures" in the file "Modeling for Half-Life.doc" which is part of HL SDK 2.3, there is some information about it there.

Also check this out: http://the303.org/tutorials/

As Bruce said, its an external texture. Try compiling without "$externaltextures" command. I could check out your model if you send it.
