port problem textures

[Alphex]

Alright hold on though

I think I found one of the problems lol I'll check if it fixes

[editline]08:10PM[/editline]

"VertexLitGeneric"
{
"$basetexture" "materials\models\weapons\v_models\knife\skin"
}

Should that be like this

"VertexLitGeneric"
{
"$basetexture" "materials\models\weapons\v_models\knife\skinvtf"
}

[.Omo]

"VertexLitGeneric"
{
"$basetexture" "models\weapons\v_models\knife\skinv tf"
}

Try that.

I keep getting this error in my console

Error Vertex File for 'weapons\knife.mdl' checksum 2105778857 should be -1322827735

Also I will

Well I ended up losing that and it didn't work =(

[Alphex]

Wait a minute if that model worked like that I didn't have any textures connected to it so it has to be the textures is there a certain format and size I should reshape them to? Are there and other commands I can apply?

[Silver Spirit]

The format i'm not sure on it seems some things need different settings to others, but i'm not entirely sure in which cases you need which, but I generally use default settings in VTFEdit and my textures work fine. Size should be whatever the size it was when originally applied to the model. I'd wait on getting the texture to show before trying any other material settings :)

I used the default settings and kept the size but wont I need to change the settings to get a way for it to show also should I just start over?

Is it back to being invisible? if so try ticking the "no level of detail" and "no mipmaps" boxes, I found that to fix something the other day from being invisible, so maybe that will help. If it's pink and black squares the path in the VMT is incorrect not the texture.

Didn't work =(

I got the purple and black squares back! :holy: I think my vmts are right can one of you check what I need to change?

right, if its pink and black checks the VMT is not correct (at least normally that would be the case, sometimes it goes weird). Post them up how you have them now and the paths you have the textures in.

Alright but one more thing I ported another v_model from the same game and it turned out perfectly =\
And I made a lua for it but it won't show up but it's called v_deagle which is the name of a css model so should I change the name or something?

Heres the example vmt for the knife

"VertexLitGeneric"
{
"$basetexture" "models/weapons/knife/hand"
"$cdmaterials" "models/weapons/knife/hand"
}

I have tried changing minor things with it but it still doesn't work =\

[Silver Spirit]

Remove the cdmaterials thing that doesn't need to be there. Are the VTF files in the garrysmod/garrysmod/materials/models/weapons/knife folder? (Also you don't need "" on the commands but doesn't matter if you do).

For the LUA make sure you have no spaces in the filename.
