Need some help importing models into Quake 1

Quite honestly, I don't have a clue, I usually don't dwelve in these kinds of things, but what I can see, is that you get a warning for having unused vertices in the model. This might cause QME to freak out, and not know which polygons to attach to which vertices.

Make sure you don't have any dangling vertices around, only keep the ones you're actually using.

Also, I'm not sure the .mdl format will love your model, it looks a tad detailed, something you might lose when all the wobblyness kicks in. Thinking about it, you might be fine, but it'd still look better if you exported it to say... md3, and used a modern Quake engine which supports that format, if that's an option.

Nice Halo pistol, is this for that PSP Halo mod?

Just guessing but the wierd appearance problem is probably related to that 280 or so vertexes with no face warning. As for getting it to show ingame you need to either a: make a mod that will show it, or b: rename the model to something that will usually show up in game anyway. (such as g_shot.mdl for the super shotgun, etc.)

Note that you may need to play around with the model a little to make it look good or even show up. (i.e. move model up in qme)

Ya, those 280 unassigned vertices are causing it. I've gotten this problem with ported models several times. You'll either need to try converting it again (which usually doesn't work) or delete those unassigned vertices. Some programs add faces to compensate, some warn you and give an error, and others will remove them on export (I think ms3d does this).

Oh snap hella thanks for the help everyone I managed to get it in fully animated and scaled properly and everything.

Unfortunately the stock GLQuake couldn't handle the vertices so I had to download JoeQuake. If anybody knows anything better, hook me up eh?

Anyway I'm pretty happy with how this came out for a first Quake mod project, even though it eems like the engine toned down the level of detail on the model.



Next I'll have to learn some QC and get it to ACT like a pistol, lol.

Hella props to Leileilol for the tutorial, someone learned a thing or two from it.

Great work man, glad to see you got it all working! I must say I quite like your models, in some strange out of place fashion.

Anyhow, something you might want to try out, is to export them as md3 models, I think Blender has complete support for those nowadays. With md3 you get smoother animations without all the wobblyness, and more sane support for 24-bit color skins, especially now when you're using a *real* engine
