[HELP] 1.4.4 New models (.dds , .ecm) added don't appear in the game

@Jacknife
Thanks for helping man with this too damn detailed stuff.


@crxfreak
I suppose it's not because of the high ID because I tested using normal .ecm and .dds files and it work normally in the same ID that I used the modificated .ecm and .dds.


Well, my conclusion is that the .dds are working normally, but there's probably something wrong with my .ecm or .ski, because I watched a lot of video-tutorials and somethings like that, I followed exactly the same steps, but it didn't work here. I wonder why.

it cant be cause of an high id , not possible , i guess that it would crash the map

I do remember hearing a 'report' that this has happened before though. I'd have to see if I can dig it up, but I swear I remember someone saying they made a 'custom weapon' but it was invisible. Someone then told them to make the item ID a lower number, and the person came back reporting that changing the item ID to a lower number had successfully worked...

It didn't work for me though. I think I'm the most unlucky guy in the world, I tried EVERYTHING, and this shit does not appear! I created new directories, I changed the sELedit, I did everything!!

Look what the fuking logs says :

[07:30:01.405] A3DSkinModel::Load, Cannot open file models\weapons\editado\Models\Weapons\editado\editado.SMD!

have you changed the name of files inside of the folder? (names of dds , ecm , smd)?

Elements loads ecm > ecm loads smd >smd loads ski. Check that the names are right across each of them. Generally the ski will need to be named the same as what it normally is. The smd name can be edited easily enough by one of the top lines in the ecm.

Out of curiosity why do you have \model\weapons then \Models\Weapons? It shouldn't make too much of a difference but is it really needed?

@ Jacknife
I have changed, ahh, but it doesn't matter (I guess not).

@Drakaer
Oh I firstly thought that the capital letters made a difference, but it doesn't make any difference. I'll try again renaming the name of the files.

HEYYYYYYYYY GUYS, THANKS FOR EVERYONE'S HELP, BUT I FINALLY SOLVED THE PROBLEM.

SOLUTION : I USED MADEDITOR TO EDIT THE SKINMODELPATH (.smd) THAT WAS IN CHINESE CHARACTERS, AND IT FIXED THE FILE PATH.

I WANNA THANK FOR EVERYONE IN THIS TOPIC FOR THE HELP.

HERE , IT'S A PRINT OF THE DRAGON I WAS WANTING TO PUT ONTO MY SERVER, AND I FINALLY DID! :D
