How do you use Models?

[immodium]

Im a beginner at Doom ports and I would like to know how you use models in Doom, what do i do with the .md2 files and md2.ini file?

Thanks

You need to unzip the md2 files into your jddom/md2 folder, download the latest modeldef.txt file from newdoom.com and put it into your jdoom folder and also remeber to edit your jdoom.cfg file to ensure that the variable use3dmodels is set to 1.

If you need any more help reply on this thread.

Cheers, CJ.

Thanks for the reply but i still cant get it to work.

I have done everything you have said, but im not sure what the exact line is to put in my jdoom.cfg!
Also, i run the doomsday engine by running the 3dfx.bat because the opengl doesnt work on my computer.

This is the line you are looking for in your jdoom.cfg.

# Render using 3D models when possible.
useModels 1

Also, you can enter it in the console while you are playing by pressing the ~ key and then typing "usemodels 1".

Also, make sure that the version of Jdoom you are using supports 3dfx. I think that this was removed in dtest2.

Hope this helps.

No promises but it may help if I could have a look at your doomsday.out file. Please zip it up and send it to me at:

tried to use command "usemodels 1". response is "no such command or cvar". i'm not a programmer so i'm a little lost.

[cj]

I am not sure but it may be case sensitive.

Try: "useModels 1"

also, make sure that you are using the latest version which has support for models. Check by looking for the file modeldef.txt in your original JDoom zip file.

Hope this helps.
