MDL name

Post by VulcanDriver »

Hi All

I've downloaded lots of repaints but the textures have different names to the mdl although they made for that model. Am I right in think the .mdl needs changing so the repaints will work?

Cheers
John

The mdl name is irrelevant to the texture name. The mdl can call any texture that the modeller wants it to call.
I would never rename the mdl it could only cause confusion in the future.

The simple way to check if the paints are correct for an mdl is to use AIAE or MCX to load up the model and see the result.
