Having problems importing a 3D player model into Gmod need help from people who know
8 replies, posted
Hello guys! I need a little help importing a player model into Gmod
I've been trying to get a Xenoblade character into Gmod, in order to do that I've been following a tutorial (since I'm NEW to this stuff, a complete noob)
this is the tutorial btw (so you can see where I'm having problems)

(made by an user btw)
[B]THE ACTUAL PROBLEM:[/B]
So, I've done everything the tutorial says but once I open Gmod the player model won't even be "chooseable" I mean, not even missing textures or the option showing up and having problems with it, is just that the option won't show up at all
[B]I think I messed up something[/B] although I'm sure I've done "exactly" what the tutorial says
here are s[B]ome screenshots[/B] so you guys can see how my folders are set up and how both [B]QC and LUA files are written[/B]
.QC

.Lua

also I'm not having problems with the textures at the moment (I guess since the 3D model won't even work lol) but [B]I'll post these just in case[/B] so you can see how the textures are set up

Notice anything strange guys? [B]maybe the 3D model itself was made in the wrong way?[/B]
which lead me to this... I know it may be asking a [B]LOT![/B] but can you guys [B]test my 3D model on your machines?[/B]

Here's [B][I]how the model should look like[/I][/B] (an Image from the actual game the 3D model comes from, it being Xenoblade Chronicles )

please I hate being "that guy" that thinks he's the center of the world but I would like to know your opinions and thoughts
so I can start all over as soon as possible if I messed up something important T.T
Delete the : at the end of the 5th line and delete the 6th line and see if that helps.

Just tried and it still doesn't work
Thanks for trying to help :D
Can you post what it looks like in the lua now? It should look exactly like this.
player_manager.AddValidModel( "Dunban","models/player/Mios/dunban ver1.mdl" )
that is the [I]only[/I] line you need to load it into the player selection screen. You dont need that "Addon by" thing either.
also, personally, I would drop the capital M in Mios in folder and lua. I don't know if that's causing an issue since I don't do that but I do know capitals can cause complications.

I started all over and made all the folders again now with a lua file written like this:

the problem was that the Lua file had spaces on it's name so I changed it to just "player" like he said and IT WORKED!
and OF COURSE ALSO HUGE [B]THANKS TO YOU SilverBelle[/B]
No problem! Happy I could help in anyway. ^^
