Including models in map. Created 16 years ago2007-05-03 00:09:29 UTC by ip

Just a few questions...

How do you include a custom model into a map, if theres a variety of ways (such as include textures), if you wouldn't mind please explain them all. I'm hoping including a model can save me here (I've been spending hours trying to make trees/etc and it just hasnt worked). I'm an average mapper, but this is my first time using a model, any help on how to do this would be very apreciated.

Also I won't be able to respond till late tomorrow,

Thanks in advanced

I don't belive you can bundle them up with your map in HL1 akin to textures. You'll have to include them with your map - you can always write a server information file to tell servers to send the models to clients when they download the map, as well, but I'm not quite sure how that's done as I haven't worked with HL1 in a very long time. There may be a tutorial on it here with regards to that.

Unless you're asking how to insert them into your map, in which case you use a cycler entity.

Ok, thank you.

basic models (with only one emote (not monsters) )
can be entered in ur map with cycler or cycler sprite (cycler cant be walked trough , cycler sprite can.)

i had a decent model site but i forgot the name, so if u have cs or any other decent mode, serch its models folder maybe ull find a tree there

I remember I had a few tree models but I lost them. Though I will ask the maker of those models for them.

Ok thanks, I've found a tree model I like and so far its working real good, thanks for the help, also if you can find any other tree models it would be appriciated.

If Doenerking was up, I'd link there... it's been down for months now.

Anyone know why .mdl files used in map download twice to a client off the server? (using .res file)
