What Do I Open Theese With???

Post by metal_head » Sun Sep 14, 2008 5:26 pm

OK,so I got this AWESOME free weapon model pack from the net,but..the models there are in .mdl format.I tried to open the weapons with milkshape (serious sam mdl,game studio mdl),but...milkshape crashes or doesn't import anything...from the moment I saw the weapons I started to need them for my game :D

I also searched the forums,but I couldn't find how to open and MDL (sorry if the answer is in the forums)

Here's the pack with the weapons,it would be nice if you take a look at them and tell me how can I import them into Milkshape.http://www.gamebeep.com/models/Hespa-Ga ... apons-Pack check out the other free stuff in this site!

Also,does the mdl extention contain the model's textures inside,because if not I don't have the weapons textures

Well you obvoiously didn't try very hard, they open perfectly well in milkshape. But you must have seen this on the site before you downloaded
A great, free collection of 16 weapons. Mirrored with permission of Ricewind from the 3d GameStudio forums. Some of these models are remakes of models from various games, so they might not be suitable for commercial use
That means some of them are copyrighted and they won't take the blame. If you dont know which ones are copyright then you can't use any of them.

I know that some of theese are copies from games,but it says that they won't be suitable for commersial games,and I'm not thinking of putting all the weapons in my game too,I think I know which weapons I've seen in game before.

Well,I couldn't open none of them in milkshape,what option should I choose from the import menu?

Look at the import options in milkshape and this time look more carefully.

well,I don't see..
I found only Serious Sam Mdl and the game studio Mdl...
I looked for half life mdl or something,but no...the only mdl I have is serious sam mdl and game studio mdl
hmm..maybe there's something wrong with my version of MS,but it shouldn't be wrong,or maybe I'm missing a plugin..

I tried importing using Milkshape version 1.8.2 and it didn't import the models. Maybe you need Game Studio installed or the latest version of Milkshape?

The GameStudio MdL7 does work. You need to reinstall Milkshape v1.8.4
