Hello,
I am having a hard time getting started. I made a simple torus shape and unwrapped it in 3ds max. i have a texture map for it too.I tried making a folder with the texture, the object and a cfg file. Not sure if i did that right.
I tried saving it as obj. I can not load it. i get error loading object. I have older blender and i tried exporting as md2 and i get error from blender cant find texture or something.would rather not use blender realy hate it. Im stuck can anyone help me out?

Welcome to the forums!
To add static models you can use multiple ways. The simplest one is to create a folder in /packages/models. This have to contain: the model, the skin and a obj.cfg.
Name the model tris and the skin skin. In this case the obj.cfg can be empty.
Alternatively you can use objload to load a model with any name - you can read more about how to add models here: http://sauerbraten.org/docs/models.html

To add custom models to your map, you need to add to your maps cfg:

Code: Select all

mmodel "path to model"
A note about the path: it is not your system path, it is where to find it in the model folder, e.g. mmodel "divide/apple", if the model is in packages/models/divide/apple.
