Something like this here embedded into the wall there.

Ah! He speaks of an actual bunker... like in military terms... Military games are a dime a dozen. If you want bunkers like that, go play Medal of Honor, or any of the various sequels that are all exactly the same. We're talking paintball bunkers, as in obstacles of a speedball field, which y00tz has made a model or two of. lol Thnx y00tz.

Why would you need a model for a bunker like that? Just build it out of brushes. Models don't have collision detection, anyway, so what good is a bunker if you can get shot through it?

I don't know if you're talking to me, but if you are:

I'm not sure if you've ever noticed, but speedball bunkers aren't like regular polygon shapes. They're rounded. When you have like a rectangular box and you make the side different colors, it just looks like a rectangle box with different colored sides... Same with like a 4-sided pyramid (A.k.a. Dorito). If it's slightly round, people will be like "Hey, dorito!

", but if it's perfectly flat on all sides, they'll be like "

4-sided pyramid. This mapper guy sucks."

If you were talking to the other guy:

I agree!

By the way, there are some GPL models here:
http://md2.sitters-electronics.nl/index.html

Now let's begin the ghetto sk89q way of getting the models to work with Paintball:

(Note: you'll need my favorite editor for this: SciTE)

1. Download the model zip you want and find it in the model#/ folder (check the textures)
2. Drag the .md2 file into SciTE (open it) and look for the texture name (i.e. auvbg.pcx)
3. Because, if I skimmed the specs for the .md2 format correctly, the texture name is stored in a fixed size field... so... add models/FOLDER/ to the beginning of texture name in SciTE (i.e. models/urban/auvbg.pcx) and then delete the NULs AFTER the texture string -- one NUL deleted for every one character you added (models/urban/ has 13 characters)
4. Convert one of the texture files (.png/.pcx/.bmp) to a .jpg file and put it in the same directory as the model.
5. Tada!

Nice Work! i just put a car model into the game, its really cool, im excited to put some other models in game

Very nice! Did you model/texture that yourself?

RiMiNi · « **Reply #186 on:** March 30, 2008, 12:00:00 PM »

i wish

i got it from the site that sk89q showed at the top of my post. all i did was the instructions at the bottom of his post so it would work in game

y00tz · « **Reply #187 on:** March 30, 2008, 01:11:28 PM »

lol, so all you did was put an md2 in a map?

T3RR0R15T · « **Reply #188 on:** March 30, 2008, 01:34:15 PM »

I need a new flag for our soccer map.

And a texture for the ball.

yea basically but it made me feel special

but recently ive been getting this error.. i dont know why

*****************
ERROR: model models/rimini/croc.md2 has a skin taller than 480
*****************
==== ShutdownGame ====

anyone know why it does that, how i can fix it, or what it liek means?

y00tz · « **Reply #190 on:** March 30, 2008, 02:06:35 PM »

Looks like a hard coded size limitation, try increasing your map's height, but I guess you'll have to scale the model.

RiMiNi · « **Reply #191 on:** March 30, 2008, 02:14:59 PM »

tried map height.. didnt change anything

EDIT: i just went into milk shape and changed the size to 25% original same, same with the texture for it. and yet i still get the same error... and the model that says its too big is smaller than one that is working normally

D'oh, didn't see that before - what's the size of the skin?

Garrett · « **Reply #193 on:** March 30, 2008, 04:24:29 PM »

If you would scale the texture, would it change the model drastically?

yea it was for a different car.. so then it would have a window wherethe tires should bo and such. dont think it would work too well

Garrett · « **Reply #195 on:** March 30, 2008, 04:43:39 PM »

If you scale the texture (if its possible, and I don't see that its not) and the care the same value, you should have a smaller version, in theory.

oh and y00tz. the image right now is 1024 x 1024 for one, but the same error has occured with a few other models and i forget the skin size for those one

y00tz · « **Reply #197 on:** March 30, 2008, 09:49:59 PM »

Well if you can import into MilkShape 3D then do that and export as SMD and create SKMs, there is no such limitation there.

jitspoe · « **Reply #198 on:** March 31, 2008, 11:59:47 AM »

Just use a smaller skin when creating the model, like 256x256. If you use a larger image later, it will just scale it. You probably shouldn't be using a 1024x1024 texture that's non-hr4 anyway. Make a small one then put the high res one in a hr4 subdirectory.

How can i make a texture on the pong ball?
