Adding custom models to server.

[ryeezy]

Hey i have been trying to add custom weapons to my TTT server and although we have the resource add file and stuff working and the models actually download when we try to use the gun in game it just shows up with pink and black textures. i was wondering what i could possibly be doing wrong. i am not sure if it has anything to do with the ttt gamemode and im sorry if it does not.

It looks like it could use a good coat of spray paint. Have you tried that?

[Cush]

The materials for the model need to be added to the server, too.

[ryeezy]

they are

[Cush]

They need to be in the right folders as well, the .mdl specifies the exact location to look for the textures in the materials folder.

[ryeezy]

i put all the materials and such in garrysmod/materials/weapons and added the resource add files to the resources.lua and it still will not work

[Cush]

Are you sure you are putting the materials in the correct place as the mdl says?

Is the model up on garrysmod.org or something? I can take a look.

Are you using a fast download system? This is most likely the problem.

[ryeezy]

yes we are using fast download. like i said we can get the model and sounds to download perfectly but the materials will not

Alright we have tried a number of things and no luck with this so far. Can someone take a look at this model and tell us step by step how to add it to the server.

and we are only using the models/materials we have our own LUA file.

Have you tried downloading the model/materials locally without the use of the FastDL to see if it works?

[jake_Da_snake]

do you mean manually adding the files to your garrysmod/garrysmod folder instead of downloading them from the server?

[Jonzky]

Yes, for troubleshooting if he were to manually place the required content in his local folders we will be able to tell if its a FastDL/Texture/Other issue.

[jake_Da_snake]

Yes, i have manually added the files located in the rar and the gun looks perfect for me. So the problem is somewhere between when they add the files and when someone downloads them.

[Jonzky]

Just re-install them to the server and ensure that you have added them to the FastDL correctly (with Resource.addfile). I am not 100% sure that its not a gamemode-lua issue, but I doubt it.

[SwftOne]

Well i did reinstall them to the server and here is my resourceAddFile its in garrysmod/lua/autorun/server/resource.lua



resource.AddFile("materials/models/weapons/v_models/deagle/dot.vmt")
resource.AddFile("materials/models/weapons/v_models/deagle/lens.vmt")
resource.AddFile("mmaterials/models/weapons/v_models/deagle/omfg.vmt")
resource.AddFile("materials/models/weapons/v_models/deagle/sight.vmt")
resource.AddFile("materials/models/weapons/v_models/deagle/skin3.vmt")
resource.AddFile("materials/models/weapons/v_models/deagle/tac_light.vmt")
resource.AddFile("materials/models/weapons/v_models/deagle/sila.vmt")
resource.AddFile("materials/models/weapons/v_models/deagle/reciever.vmt")
resource.AddFile("materials/models/weapons/v_models/deagle/mainmap.vmt")

resource.AddFile("models/weapons/v_dea_mac10.mdl")
resource.AddFile("models/weapons/w_dea_mac10.mdl")

[Jonzky]

esource.AddFile("mmaterials/models/weapons/v_models/deagle/omfg.vmt")

Is that copied and pasted from the lua file? Looks like that could be a problem.

[SwftOne]

awesome problem solved! You can't add it to garrysmod/lua/autorun/server/resources.lua anymore. I just put the resource.AddFile in the SWEP and everything worked fine!
