Fast DL help - Models show as errors

[Fscreams]

Here is my server - http://kstgs.site.nfoservers.com/server/

Here is my code -

Code: Select all

if (SERVER) then
  resource.AddFile( "models/player/point/scarecrow/scarecrow_player.mdl" )
  resource.AddFile( "models/player/point/scarecrow/scarecrow_player.phy" )

end

Still shows up as an error.

That seems to be the correct code. Where are you putting this file on your server?

[Fscreams]

In here - http://prntscr.com/17ga4p


Trying to put in pointshop - This is the code

Code: Select all

ITEM.Name = 'Scare Crow'
ITEM.Price = 500
ITEM.Model = 'models/player/point/scare_crow.mdl'

function ITEM:OnEquip(ply, modifications)
	if not ply._OldModel then
		ply._OldModel = ply:GetModel()
	end
	
	timer.Simple(1, function() ply:SetModel(self.Model) end)
end

function ITEM:OnHolster(ply)
	if ply._OldModel then
		ply:SetModel(ply._OldModel)
	end
end

The code is correct as well.

Fixed the code a bit - Now the model shows up purple / black.

[Fscreams]

ITEM.Name = 'Scare Crow'
ITEM.Price = 500
ITEM.Model = 'models/player/point/scarecrow/scarecrow_player.mdl'

function ITEM:OnEquip(ply, modifications)
if not ply._OldModel then
ply._OldModel = ply:GetModel()
end

timer.Simple(1, function() ply:SetModel(self.Model) end)
end

function ITEM:OnHolster(ply)
if ply._OldModel then
ply:SetModel(ply._OldModel)
end
end

That's the code that I fixed. Going to try a different model and see if that one has issues as well.

Where are you putting your resource file, though? It should be going into

Code: Select all

 garrysmod/lua/autorun/server/

in your servers FTP.

[Fscreams]

Alright. The resource ( add file ) is in the correct spot. Models *Work* But, when a client joins, for whatever reason they can see some models, and other models are just purple and black, and it differs for everyone.

[kraze]

Did you confirm that the ones that are not showing correctly are indeed on the Fastdl server?

[Fscreams]

Yup.

http://kstgs.site.nfoservers.com/server ... yer/point/
That's where all the materials are at.

http://prntscr.com/17oz3h

That's where it's downloading too. Files are in there.

[Fscreams]

Anyways - I have a theory of why it's not working -

So player models I guess are "coded" into what materials they use, or models.

Example - Default file path for venom would be

material/model/player/dc/villians/venom/ ( Material files )

I changed the file path to

material/model/player/point/venom/

So the actual "code", if there is any, might be trying to read the original file path, and not the altered one.

Going to pull all the models out of the server and try it with the default path it comes with.

[ThatGuyNex]

You're exactly right. Much like the vmt files have hard paths to where the vtf file is located, the .mdl files have the location of the texture files coded in as well. I'll hope that you got it working.

[Fscreams]

Yup.

I had the same issue so I just post the link to the website where they can download the files. And left instructions on how they can put them into their garrysmod. It is easy. :\ I just made a steam page with all the links I use. If anyone has errors or checkers I send them to it and it fixes it every time.
