Problem with custom Models *Help fast please*

[Swiftone]

So when ever I add a custom models to the server the model shows up but its a pink checkerboard. Any ideas on how to fix this?

It's missing materials.

hmmm I must be doing the ResourceAddfile wrong. Do I add in the file extensions on these files or just leave it like this.

resource.AddFile("materials/models/player/khaotik/darkelfa/art_phoenix/t_phoenix")

Or like this?

resource.AddFile("materials/models/player/khaotik/darkelfa/art_phoenix/t_phoenix.vmt")
resource.AddFile("materials/models/player/khaotik/darkelfa/art_phoenix/t_phoenix.vtf")

[QUOTE=thejjokerr;25422469]Only add .vmt, it will automaticly add vtf for you.

Same for models, only add .mdl and it will add the other files with it.[/QUOTE]

really? so ive been wasting my time adding every single file :p im gonna give it a shot.

What you may also want to do if you find yourself getting a lot of content:

Inside the gamemode folder create a folder called content, and put it all in there, it works exactly like an addon.

content/models/*
content/materials/*

etc. etc.

Then, somewhere in a serverside file work with this:

local function RecurseDirectory(Location)
	for k,v in pairs(file.Find(Location.."*")) do
		if file.IsDir(Location..v) then
			RecurseDirectory(Location..v.."/");
		else
			local NewLocation = string.gsub(Location..v,"../gamemodes/name/content/","");
			if !string.find(NewLocation,"bz2") then
				resource.AddFile(NewLocation);
			end
		end
	end
end

RecurseDirectory("../gamemodes/name/content/models/");
RecurseDirectory("../gamemodes/name/content/materials/");
RecurseDirectory("../gamemodes/name/content/sound/");
RecurseDirectory("../gamemodes/name/content/scripts/");

Wouldn't that technically make the files go into gamemodes/name/content ?

[Jam]

Nope. For example, if you had something called hephep.mdl in gamemodes/name/content/models, It would make it do resource.AddFile("models/hephep.mdl").
