How to add custom models with CUSTOM TEXTURES to the game??

[cusoman]

So i have decided to attempt to start modeling, but before i do anything, i figured i should know how to put the model in the map.  Well i managed to get the bigleaf02.md2 into the game, and it looked good, so i thought i would try my own model, just a cube, and UV map it, so it says CUSO around it, and then i put it in the models folder, along with my texture, and it loads up into the game, but without the texture.  what do i need to do to force the game to load the texture to the model.
A few facts about the model:
-its apparently small, it didnt seem small when i made it, but it seems about 1-2 units per side ( its a cube) when in game.
-its named cube.md2 and its texture is cube.bmp.
-i made it in wings 3d, exported as a 3ds max, imported to blender, then exported as .md2.

I put this in gen. development because it deals with modeling, uv mapping, and mapping (because it has to go in game).
Thank you for your time,

Open the .md2 in notepad and make sure that your path is set correctly to the texture (generally in first line) it should be something like "/texturename" and not "c:/pony files/texturename"  See below


-Models do look very small, scale it like 25x in Blender

Wait, there's your problem.  Export "cube.bmp" as a .jpg or tga and your texture will most likely work, if not see the above comment I crossed out.
-.md2 is terrible, download a .smd exporter and download SKModeler 1.2 and export SKMs, not md2s.
