<div class="IPBDescription">Error: Post Loading Model</div> Quick question


When I try to open a model in HLMV it says

Error: Post Loading Model


What does this mean and why does it happen.

    Can you be any more specific?

    For example, if you're trying to view a model you downloaded that has both a model.mdl and a model<b>t</b>.mdl from its zip file, you'll get that error because HLMV wants both models to be in the same place (ie extracted) - the same happens when trying to view something directly from a .pak file.

    Happens to some two part models (like most of the marine base eq).

    Generally means its just the textures, and no frame/model.

    If its something NOT NS related, then its probably a borked MDL file.

    you CAN open them, it just doesn't show you anthing un the 3D model area click over to texture, and that's all that is there <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->



    don't open mdl files that are still inside a zip.... this is a common practice in linux/unix, wehre you can view and modify (maybe?) files inside of a compressed file.... but in windows, it's a no-no.. and this is reason #1....

    extract it first... then view around.

    actually, just highlight both the xxx.mdl and xxxt.mdl files, right click and choose open. youll get 2 windows of HLMV and one should have the textured model <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    What's the point of that? you could just open the non-T one and get the textured model <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    def_one if you read this pls check your pms <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    This is a modified version that allows you to view transparency + additive textures (and modify them).
    Also has neat options for modifying weapon origins, viewing UV maps, etc.
