[SOLVED]Importing models! I don't understand!!

#1 · April 30, 2014, 1:04 pm

I don't seem to understand importing models from one game to Portal 2. I took the models/props_bts/bts_turret.mdl from Portal 1, and brought it into portal 2, materials and everything, but this is all I get.

. If someone can show me to a written/video guide I would be very grateful.

You need to make sure the paths for the skins of the model are in their exact, respective folders in materials.
Ex.:
modelspropscakecake.mdl
The skin for this model needs to be at:
materialsmodelspropscakecake.vtf

If you've already done that and are still having trouble, then I don't really know what to tell you. But double-check your paths!

I think this site could benefit from a full aesthetic/functionality overhaul. Like the Black Mesa forums. They had a site overhaul recently and personally I've found the new forum much easier to use.
Plus, I kinda find all this white a little blinding.
