orange box error Created 17 years ago2007-12-17 02:47:31 UTC by sgv3dmax

I am using orange box and trying to import a model into hammer. I did everything in the 'source modeling setup' tutorial by BJ. Earlier, in the older version of hammer, everything worked smoothly. But, this time when i drag and drop the .qc file into studiomdl.exe, an error "entry point not found" is being displayed. Please help.

Post your QC-file config

Start the SDK launcher with the parameter 'engine -ep1' (without the ',s obviously.)

Start the SDK launcher with the parameter 'engine -ep1'

It's "-engine ep1". I mixed that up once and it didn't do anything.

Start the SDK launcher with the parameter '-engine ep1'

Please explain how to add the parameter. Should this be added to the shortcut?

Just right click on sourceSDK, select properties->Launch options and insert it there.

I'm using windows xp. When i open the properties of sourceSDK, only 3 tabs are displayed - General, Shortcut and Compatibility - Under shortcut tab, there are some options, but there is no Launch options.

He means the "Source SDK" though Steam, not the shortcut.

Oh, i found it. Thanx. But the same problem still continues. Here is the qc config:

$modelname rougoto_ref/rougoto_ref.mdl
$cdmaterials models/rog_color
$staticprop
$scale 1.0
$body studio "rougoto_ref.smd"
$sequence idle "rougoto_ref.smd" fps 1
$collisionmodel "rougoto_ref.smd" {
$Mass 20
}

I followed the steps in the tutorial. The studiomdl.exe is in the following location:
C:Program FilesSteamSteamApps(username)sourcesdkbinep1bin

I followed the steps mentioned by RabidMonkey, R1co, madcow and RotatorSplint. But, still the same error appears. Help!

Oh, I had the same problem but didn't realize you have it too.
So "entry point not found" still shows up although you put the StudioCompiler.exe into ..sourcesdkbinep1bin ? It worked for me. I don't get that message anymore. Unfortunately the program still does not run on my computer, since it's telling me "Extra App ID set to 211, but no SteamAppID.".

Have you tried executing studiomdl through a commandline? Follow these steps, quotes and all;

Start -> Run -> cmd ->

then type

cd "C:Program FilesSteamSteamApps(username)sourcesdkbinep1bin"

and then

studiomdl "C:wherever your model and qc files aremodelname.qc"

I tried everything RabidMonkey mentioned, but the following error came up.

Unable to find gameinfo.txt. Solutions:

1. Read http://www.valve-erc.com/srcsdk/faq.html#NoGameDir
2. Run vconfig to specify which game you're working on.
3. Add -game <path> on the command line where <path> is the directory that gameinfo.txt is in.

Tried all these, but of no help.

vconfig does not work.
Added the game path as instructed by R1Co and RabidMonkey, but of no use.
It worked in the previous version of half-life, but orange box is driving me crazy. I really want to learn about modding, but even these small options are giving me problems. Somebody please help!
