Dota Texture compiling problem

archie · Aug 2014

Recently I have tried compiling back into a mdl to be viewed ingame as I tried editing the qc files with particles. However problems encountered before I even go into adding particles..:(
Compiling is sucess, however I cant seem to view the textures, it is invisible when viewed ingame and HLMV it is displayed as pink and black checkered and it shows "*** ERROR *** Modelviewer attempted to load one or more VMTs it can't find.

This is my QC file:

This is my VMT file:

I really have no idea where did I gone wrong.
The VMT,VTF textures are created through ingame importer.
The SMD,qc are created into mdl manually from GUIStudioMDL

Any help with the textures?
Thanks~

Pretty sure you don't need "dota" in your paths.

I added it to make sure it really link correctly and working, but it dosent make any different with dota path or not

You can debug your model with "Source MDL Texture Info tool", it can be downloaded from:

http://www.wunderboy.org/sourceapps.php

Drag and drop your .mdl on to the .exe file of this tool, it will give full information about textures, you will find where your paths are wrong.

I have tried, my texture name is blessed.vmt, same as my vmt file name.
texture path is also same as $cdmaterials path.

But still get the VMT error and appearing checkered textures..

I haven't used source in ages but could it be that it doesn't like the hexadecimal number in the file path.

I somehow figured out that I have to duplicate my model material folder into sourcefilmmaker's dota path in order for it to load my textures. However its shader used is Wireframe_DX9 and not in CustomHero_DX9.

However viewing it ingame is still same checkered textures..
