Compiled ragdoll is invisible, but touchable/moveable

[Illuminae]

Hello.

I've been trying to get my first model edit compiled correctly and into Garry's Mod, and so far I've hit minor complications. I've decompiled the original model file and made the changes, and recompiled it back somewhat successfully. However after spawning the ragdoll, it appears completely invisible and no where in sight, and yet I can grab it and move it's limbs with the physigun.

I've kept mostly everything the way it was after decompiling, so I'm not sure what's wrong. I've searched the internet everywhere and dove through the forums here several pages and still nothing, so I'm hoping someone can help me out.

This is the .qc of the model :

If there's anything else I need to post, please tell me.
Also if anyone's curious, I've been trying to remove the mask of a female Pyro model, there's a face under it that I'd like to have without the mask. So far I've had no trouble until now. Thank you in advance.

[Illuminae]

Bump.

[Hamk]

Did you checked your model in HLMV?

[Pepsit]

Re-export as the ragdoll.smd and recompile.

[Illuminae]

Thanx for replying.

Attempting to open the model in HLMV brings up the error "Error opening Model", I've tried this on the original model and the recompiled edited model, the same error arises each time.

I've used the ragdoll.smd and recompiled, yet it brought back the original model without the editing back in game. I'm not sure if I've done what you recommended correctly or not, if not any insight would be appreciated.

[Illuminae]

Le bump.

[Pepsit]

I've experienced this before, usually it was a quick fix with remaking the ragdoll.smd.
What program are you using, which exporter, etc?

[Silver Spirit]

Humm, invisible models are usually due to the model being in the wrong place (folder wise) or the materials using the incorrect shader (usually lightmappedgeneriic) but it doesn't seem yours has either of those issues, so i'm not sure whats going on there.

I have a suggestion however, as your reason for doing this was:

[QUOTE=Illuminae;29957647]I've been trying to remove the mask of a female Pyro model, there's a face under it that I'd like to have without the mask.[/quote]

why don't you just make the mask translucent in the texture? Surely that would be easier than hacking the model :P

[Illuminae]

It took a while to figure out, but I've gotten it to translucify and now the mask is gone. That was much easier than it was trying to get rid of the model'd one. Thank you very much.
