Exporting .qc doesnt export textures?
Here are ALL the steps I do.
1. Load Blender
2. Model my test item
3. Texture it
4. Map it with the materials / texturing (heres finished product http://gyazo.com/f80fda4bee88efde3527eafe4d506ee8 )
5. Make the sample .qc ( http://gyazo.com/49cf9cf3fd5f6c9193a010494da20cdc )
6. Export the model with qc and studiomdl. It works, right? WRONG.
7. Multiple errors occur, some happen at random:
7a. Error Loading Model! in HLMV
7b. Loads, but is a invisible weapon
8. Loads, but as untextured weapon.
9. Spend the next 2 months trying to troubleshoot.
10. Post here.
11. Gaben.

Only material/texture names are exported. It's up to you to create the VMTs and VTFs and put them in the right folder.

@Artfunkel I know, I did. The suggestion was to ahve it all in one folder for exporting, so I did. The VMT and VMF are created, but I can't figure this out. Please ask for any info that you need, such as files and locations. I need to figure this out, I spent 2 months getting this $!@# to work, and I might give up soon which I just can't...

Post the contents of your VMT file.

"LightmappedGeneric"
{
"$basetexture" "C:/Users/Felix/Dropbox/Hammer Tools/Weapons (TF2)/The Slicker/models/weapons/the_slicker-phys"
}
automatically generated via vtfedit

Another thing is on the HLMV, it loads but as the black/pink checkered texture. But the model loads the materials file "the_slicker-phys" but it says it tried loading a materials file it couldnt find, yet the VMT, VTF are named the same thing with the correct file pathsa nd everything

LightmappedGeneric is the shader for static BSP geometry. You want VertexLitGeneric.

Also, the VTF path looks very wrong. It should be something like "materials/models/weapons/the_slicker-phys". I don't think the engine will load materials unless they're in the materials directory.

Okay. VMT: "VertexLitGeneric"
{
"$basetexture" "C:/Users/Felix/Dropbox/Hammer Tools/Weapons (TF2)/The Slicker/materials/models/weapons/c_models/slicker/the_slicker-phys"
}
QC:
$modelname "weapons\the_slicker-phys.mdl"
$body mybody "the_slicker-phys.smd"
$surfaceprop "metal"
$cdmaterials "materials\models\weapons\c_models\slicker"

$sequence idle "the_slicker-phys" // no animation wanted, so re-using the reference mesh
Error in HLMV: Could not find one or more of the VMTs specified.

Is your VMT in the folder materials\models\weapons\c_models\slicker? Does it match the name of the Blender material?
#9
Colrag 1 Feb, 2015 @ 10:38am 
Yes.

It clearly isn't, or you wouldn't be seeing the error. :) HLMV will give you the complete path to every material it expects in the bottom-left of the Model tab, labelled "Materials used".

It clearly is.

File extensions are being hidden in Explorer. You don't have a file called "the_slicker-phys.vmt", you have one called "the_slicker-phys.vmt.vmt".
