Problem with model texture

Post by Neofito »

Hi all, I've downloaded PAS a few days ago and I'm trying to learn How does it work, and just have found my first serious problem :?
I'm testing how to add my own models, therefore I've downloaded a free one from http://www.blendswap.com/, but when I load the model in my map it looks white with some red zones (I guess that something is wrong with texture).
That's what I've done:
I've create a new folder (models) with this route: PlatinumArtsSandbos2.8.1/my_stuff/packages/models
Into the models folder I've create a new folder with the name of the model "Veemon"
There are the .obj and .mtl files and I've renamed both to tris----> tris.mtl and tris.obj, also is the png file for the skin renamed to skin.png, a screenshot of the model named shot.png, and also the .cfg file named obj.cfg, the .cfg file code is:

Code: Select all

objload tris.obj

objskin lower ./skin.png

mdlscale 3000
First I did go with

Code: Select all

objload tris.obj

objskin skin.png

mdlscale 3000
But neither worked, because when I use the comand: mmodel veemon into edit mode, the model is loaded and even I see the screenshot in the selection window, but how I've said, once I load the model in the map it's missing the textures.
Thanks in advance for your answers.

obj has some weird naming scheme for the meshes I've never been able to figure out.
just specify * as the name of the mesh to apply the skin to.
This is not a url, clicking it is pointless

Thanks for your quick answer Hirato.
But the problem is that I don't get what do yo mean (where should I use the *????'). Could you post an example of the code?

Thanks

Thanks Hirato, it worked.
For some reason the eyes in the model I was using are missed even with the new code. I suppose that something is wrong with the blender file.
But I've gone with a different model and everything works fine with the * trick.
Thanks again, and now back to lear more about PAS and find new problems :roll:
