Yes. Just move the model a few units up from that bottom grid.

i tried what u said didnt work so i started up regular quake ran thru 3 levels got the grenade launcher and vannilla quakes grenades do the same. i think it has to do with the engine not the model.

Open model in QME. Move it up. It will work.

If you can't get it to work, upload it and I'll fix it.

what do i press to select all faces, i can only seem to select 1 in qme... sorry all i usually use qme for is conversion... i do 90% of my editing in milkshape.

This screenshot (nabbed off the Preach tutorial page) might help you: You would want to adjust the Z number to a higher positive number.

Or reading the Preach tutorial instructions:

Some time you will need to take the time to learn the basics of QME simply because it is the only editor that can directly open and save a Quake model (unless Quark can do this, although I rarely even open Quark).

/I still want you to upload it so I can convert it, I'm just saying QME is an essential tool to dealing with the Quake .mdl format.

k, well i sent you a pm.

Here is how to fix yourself, but since you sent me the .mdl via private message, I'm going to send the fixed model back the same method.

In the highlighted picture above, I clicked the object select tool and then changed the Z adjuster to 30 (that's a positive 30).

The saved as progs\grenade.mdl and tried it out. It looks fine.
