Having strange texture problems.

[live4u120]

I'm having a weird problem, where my model is solid purple. It's not checkerboard, I think because it's a sphere it just doesn't have enough space to show black, but I think it might be checkerboard.

I don't see what the problem is though. With all of my models, I can get the object in, just not the textures. Why do you think this might be?

(I'm very new to modeling.)

I went by this guide:

Maybe it was something in Blender? I might have mis-linked the texture. I don't know what could possibly be wrong. I don't see ANYTHING that is wrong with my text files.

model.qc

$modelname		"WDW_Golf/golfball.mdl"
$body mybody	"golf_ball.smd"
$staticprop
$surfaceprop	"metal"
$cdmaterials	"WDW_Golf/golf_ball.vmt"
$scale			1

$sequence idle	"idle.smd" loop fps 1

$collisionmodel	"golf_ball-phy.smd" { 
	$automass
	$concave
}

$keyvalues
{
   "prop_data"
   {
       "base"  "Metal.Medium"
   }
}

golf_ball.vmt

"VertexLitGeneric"
{
	"$basetexture" "/WDW_Golf/golf_ball"
	"$surfaceprop" "metal"
	"$model" 1
}

It's about to drive me insane. (Maybe I should replace the instance of golf_ball.vmt in model.qc with golf_ball.vtf?)

$cdmaterials needs to go to the folder where the vmt is, not to the vmt itself.

So, guessing materials/WDW_Golf is the path, it should be like this.

$modelname		"WDW_Golf/golfball.mdl"
$body mybody	"golf_ball.smd"
$staticprop
$surfaceprop	"metal"
$cdmaterials	"WDW_Golf"
$scale			1

$sequence idle	"idle.smd" loop fps 1

$collisionmodel	"golf_ball-phy.smd" { 
	$automass
	$concave
}

$keyvalues
{
   "prop_data"
   {
       "base"  "Metal.Medium"
   }
}

Yea that shoukd fix it, why have you not got a "1" after $staticprop (which btw you don't need unless your using it in a map and don't want it to move).

You just answered your own question bro. It's a golf ball.

eh? I don't see how what you just said makes sense, if you mean hes taken out the "1" so its not static, but then left the $staticprop then no, no I did not. If its not suppost to be static then it shouldn't be there at all (and i'm supprised the compiler didn't go crazy, it doesn't like stuff like that)

I read it wrong, my bad *shrugs*
