Problems uploading custom models

Ok ok, noob question. I'm having trouble importing custom models to my maps. I followed the below tutorial to the damn letter, and it still says "cannot load seadrake.mdl".

Someone tell me what I've missed? And no there's nothing wrong with the model, it looks perfect in the model editor.

Try better tutorials perhaps?

Nothing. Keep getting the good old checkered box in his place. It makes sense that it should work.. except that it doesnt.

Then the model you are trying to import is screwed.

btw you are testing in game, right? Cause editor is not perfect at loading skins instantly after importing them

And 'viewer' is a pile of crap.

Yes I was, and nevermind. It was a texture pathing issue, some "i" not crossed or "t" dotted. Good to go, thanx
