My .mdl's keep faling to load help me,

10-06-2004, 02:05 AM

ok i simply want to create a model that is a flat 28x28 sqaure.
I Use Gmax and here is my step by step

1.) New a new file
2.) Create Box with keyboard inputs of

x-0
y-0
z-0
length 28
width 28
height 1

3.) load my skin onto it

4.) convert to an editable mesh

5.) Set fps to 960, and create 2 keys

6.) use Dex's exporter and make 2 animations one called "Walk 1" and "Death" they are both set to frames 1-2 since they have no animation

7.) i copy the text into notepad and save as an .mdl

8.) I use Yogul's mdl --> mdx converter

9.) it imports fine, but when i put the model on a peasent i get a ".mdl failed to laod"

10.) HEEELEP me....

if you wanna wlak me through it...

Oinkerwinkle	Post your MDL/X for people to look for problems in. 'Could not load' doesn't mean much more than 'Something is wrong.' Are you importing the texture correctly?

Your 'Interval' lines might be the problem, since you had them overlapping. Try changing that section to this.

Code:

Sequences 2 {
	Anim "Stand 1" {
		Interval { [u]1000, 2000[/u] },
	MinimumExtent { -32.0, -64.0, 0.0 },
	MaximumExtent { 32.0, 64.0, 1.0 },
	BoundsRadius 71.5612,
	}
	Anim "Death" {
		Interval { [u]3000, 4000[/u] },
	MinimumExtent { -32.0, -64.0, 0.0 },
	MaximumExtent { 32.0, 64.0, 1.0 },
	BoundsRadius 71.5612,
	}
}

Other than that, it looks fine. Make sure you have your texture imported with the right path.
