Hi guys,i finaly got my simple gun model to show when collected but it is just black with no texture showing.has anybody come across this with a animated model before.thanks if you can help.

Hi Dave,

Did you mean the gun is missing the texture when you're using it or when the model is laying on the ground/table/floor/etc. ?

Guns are different than regular models because if you need a pickup, you need to have it in the entitybank and then for the actual use (which you can set for the start marker), you also need the appropriate files in gamecore/guns.

Take a look at one of the stock weapons like the colt 1911, you'll see there is both an .fpe and .bmp in the Weapons folder of entitybank, and also the texture, model, HUD, VWEAP, gunspec, and sounds all in the gamecore/guns/modern/colt1911 folder.

Also, the FPE in the entitybank will point to the appropriate references in the gamecore/guns folder.

I'm sure I've done a horrible job of explaining all of that, but basically guns don't store the model/texture in the entitybank folder, they are stored in the gamecore/guns folder.

Hi geistschatten,the gun is there on the floor as a pickup that is all fine ,it shoots animates ok but just no texture when the hud is up for the gun.this is a realy simple mesh attached to the ray gun rig.i dont want to try anything more complicated untill i can get this part right.

Nobody else had this,or anything showing black in game .

You can email me the weapon and the pickup and I can test it on my machine.

If it's not a missing texture then sometimes if the model is too high poly it appears black in game. But sounds like it can't be if it is a simple mesh?

Cheers.

This is most likely a material related problem.
When in your 3d software, are there more than one material assigned? If so remove these
