mjpb3 Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 is there a limit on how long a file name can be? I am trying another head mod and the portrait name seems awful long, but I had to make it long to match with the mdl file, but for some reason my head isn't showing up like it should, and I know I've done everything right, so I was curious about the file name length... Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det. Bart Lasiter Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 You could try changing the name of the model, it can be whatever you want it to be. Try naming it 'test' and see if that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilles Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I recall hearing 12 (or was it 16?) characters being bandied about quite a bit. Is your file name longer than that? I hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det. Bart Lasiter Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I believe that's for resource file names. It's due to the KEY file resource data structure. The name of the resource is represented by a 16 character string. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth333 Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 no more than 16 characters and make sure there are no spaces. Only letters, numbers and underscores are allowed. edit: jmac beats me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Tetra Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Also, that limit applies just to the file name, not including "." or the extension, IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjpb3 Posted January 3, 2006 Author Share Posted January 3, 2006 shoooo... the name I am using is EXACTLY 16 characters long, so that wasn't it... it turned out that I had forgotten to rename my mdl and mdx file to the file name of the first tga I am using. It works now... Now I just have to TWEAK! LOL! I'm glad I figured that out, I was starting to go buggy over that silly head model Thanks everyone for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
