My models don't work

[King_Jay]

When I try to place a model in my map, I pick what I want from the open menu but when it tries to insert I get an error message, something like "failure to open folder" can anyone help?

Delete everything before models the in path field.

 

If it reads:

 

c:\Program Files\Lucarsarts\Jedi2\gamedata\base\models\map_objects\ships\x-wing.md3

 

it should be just:

 

models\map_objects\ships\x-wing.md3

That didn't do it, it still gives me the same error message, i don't get it at all.

Did you extract the models from the assets.pk3 file and what entity are u using to display a model?

[King_Jay]

yeah assets0.pks and i'm using misc, misc_model.

Hmm. Keep the red box in your map, save it and try restarting the Radiant. Btw, which one is it (JK2 or GTK). Also make sure you have models view selected as "boxed and skinned".

Obviously you doing something wrong. I suggest you load Raven's map and see if models are showing there. If they are, then open the entity window and doublecheck the settings in there and then enter the same in your map (just to test). If they are not showing, then I dunno.

I had the same problem for a year and a day. The most important thing is to make sure that the model path is correct. Aside from that, I swear I was doing all kinds of stuff to get models to work and then... all of a sudden... POOF! They started to show up. What I recommend is making sure that the key is model and the path is something like models\map_objects\bespin\statue.md3

Try cut and paste on that line and check to see if it works.
