I just compiled a model (it may not be compile i mean the thing where you go to tool and change the .jms to a .gbx using tool model character\morgan (that's not what i used in cmd so if you see a error don't worry thats not the problem)(it was a biped of Morgan freeman) and it all apperars to work (theres nothing in the debug.txt) but when i go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition\tags\characters\morgan there's no models file nor a model file :O but all the bitmaps went through all right

is the model just in character\morgan or is it in character\morgan\models?

Character\morgan\models but i'm pretty sure that wouldn't effect it because its detecting the .JMS and compiling it.

if you compiled using OS tool, the debug would be in your my documents/my games/halo ce/ opensauce folder

Otherwise, make sure that the command you're using is "tool model" and not "tool models". The second one doesnt work iirc. Double check the export and your folders. maybe putting up some screenshots would help as well

I am not using OS tool.

i am using tool model that's just a example i code the code right.

First off, check if you do indeed have a JMS file there.

If you do, make sure it's NOT 0KB in size, this is a common error when you don't export properly, usually due to a model that's not linked up properly.

If you have your JMS at characters/Morgan/models

The Tool command would be: tool model characters/Morgan

You forgot the S in characters....

Should sorry i was just clarifying that i didn't use OS tool i actually got it to export :) but now sapiens saying

I HAVE THOSE

You weren't using tool as administrator when you created those apparently. Move them elsewhere, then move them back. The folder should ask for permission to move them in, and then they should actually be there. run EVERYTHING as administrator as long as you use UAC.

Yeah i wasn't but i thought because they were made windows or UAC must not have a problem with bitmap files or something guess i was wrong. although still is strange they compiled when other things did not.

Also i copied the files to my documents then back but i still got

I have no idea what the wii thing is :/ well i did have a wii mote paired with my computer at the time but surly that wouldn't affect it

And here is how sure i am the shaders are where they should be and i turned off the Wii mote and recompiled the .gbx

Edited by ELVEVERX on May 23, 2013 at 09:04 AM

Well i turned off UAC and recompiled and guesss what...

Do you notice a certain difference between where it asks for them, and where you have them?......

It wants them directly in your tags folder, you have it tags\characters\morgan\shaders (Anyways, if you recompiled the GBX, it would notice there was no shaders in the tags folder, and would of pointed to the those ones instead. So, you also aren't recompiling the gbx correctly either)

sorry didn't notice that, i had forgotten i had moved them to there because of the other problem

You're getting a reference error. Open the model in guerilla and scroll down to the bottom. Click the three dots for each shader model and tell it where the new path is
