a couple of model questions

[Cyrez]

first off hello to everyone, and my apologies for the lack of updates on my REUC project. down side of being ion the military is i have little to no free time

anyway i have spent the last week reading through the GZdoom and Zdoom forums as well as the wiki and have updated my software and maps to the latest version. I have also downloaded pauls example wad and studied it closly aswell but to my dismay nither his example or my own atempts show up in GZdoom

any help here would be great

I am running GZdoom 1.0.16.226 which is the latest AFAIK.

[Paul]

First off, hello.

Second of all, looking forward to your project. Biohazard franchise ranks high in my list of vane pleasures.

Now business,
1.Do the models have uv maps and their skins done? Have you exported them properly?
2.Are they properly configured with modeldef? Show me your modeldef.
3.Are their actors properly done in Decorate? Show me your decorate. (model and actor names must match)
4.Does Gzdoom puke any info in the console? (like models/pickups/medkit.md3 not found or similair?)

1 yes both uv maps and skin are complete. as for exported properly that may be my problem. i used milkshape3d for these because it works great for creating low poly meshes. the down side is to export a md3 i have to first export a qc file, (quake plugin) and md2 will not export at all.

2, 3 yes and yes

4 not a thing, however i did notice it loads the wad but does not mention loading the zip.

but even the example you posted in another topic loads wierd, it loads up as a sprite, not a 3d mesh. I am sure i am doing somthing wrong here just darned if i no what it is, lol

[Paul]

Are you using Open GL rendering? Models aren't supported in Software mode

[Nash]

Just for your information, if you want to export to MD2, go to the folder in which Milkshape 3D is installed. You'll see a file named md2.qc.

Copy that file into the same folder as your model. If you need to, edit the QC file to name your MD2's frames. Then you'll be able to export as MD2.

Though if you ask me, you're better off using the MD3 format anyway.

[Cyrez]

@Paul yes i am
@Nash cool, thanks for the info but i agree with md3 use.

alass i still canot manage to get a single model to actualy load

[Nash]

Hmmm. That's odd...

Download these and tell me if the model loads for you?

http://nash.wanzafran.com/2modelsmap.zip

(Just download these ZIP files and directly drag and drop them onto GZDoom.exe - don't extract them!)

I'm using the latest version of GZDoom, which is 1.0.16. Works for me.

[Cyrez]

Thanks alot Nash both those worked perfectly. turns out mine were not loading due to the fact i was using a old launcher. old habits hehe.


[edit] btw you might consider ading one or both of those files to your post in the documentation thread [/edit]

[Nash]

Good idea, but I actually want to redo the docs because there's a ton of wrong information in there.

Once I get around to updating the docs, I'll add example files as well.

[Cyrez]

Nash if you get a few free min, could you look this over for me. i have went through it many times and can not find anything wrong with it. when i try to load it up i get this error

Failed to allocate -1 bytes from process heap

the startup launcher lists no errors as you can see here

MAP01 - entryway[/spoiler]


any help on this would be a large help

[Nash]

Cyrez, same problem here.

I have no idea why it isn't working. =/

Graf... what does the error mean?

[Cyrez]

very odd, after many hours of cussing my models i tried somthing new. i selected all and regrouped them into a single object and reexported the md3. it now loads fine.

has anyone else got a md3 to work that had more than one object ??

[Nash]

You're right. This might be a bug.

http://nash.wanzafran.com/modeltest-group-bug.zip

This is the same file as the above (the one with the Cacodemon smiley thing), but I split the object into two groups.

GZDoom crashes.

I'll add a bug report now...

[Cyrez]

I see, thought maybe it was just me, lol
Thanks for the help Nash

[chaoscentral]

So thats why my weapon models dont work in GZDoom... I thought It was something stupid in exporting the MD3
