Hi guys.

This is about a yoda skin on my css server.

error

[zombiereloaded.smx] [Models] [Config Validation] Warning: Invalid model name/path setting at index 8. File not found: "models/player/b4p/b4p_yoda/yoda.mdl".

Playerclasses

// Model
        "model_path"            "models/player/b4p/b4p_yoda/b4p_yoda.mdl"
        "alpha_initial"         "255"
        "alpha_damaged"         "255"
        "alpha_damage"          "0"

why does the error say yoda.mdl, when playerclasses is to be b4p_yoda.mdl?

That error message belongs to the models config validation, not class validation. Check models.txt, it's model no. 9 (starting from 1) in that list.

	"yoda"
    {
        "name"      "yoda"
        "path"      "models/player/b4p/b4p_yoda/"
        "team"      "humans"
        "access"    "admins"
        "group"     ""
    }

there's your problem right thar

I think the name has to be the name of the .mdl file

[Teigen]

How foolish by me, not looking on that *pointing gun towards head*

ty for reminding me about that

[DJRenegade]

im having the same problem - so does the name have to be "model.mdl" or just "model" where "model" is the actuall models .mdl name?

[Teigen]

instead of yoda, i put the name of the mld file, withouth the .mdl extension (b4p_yoda.mdl is b4p_yoda in the title in models.txt

	"yoda"
    {
        "name"      "b4p_yoda"
        "path"      "models/player/b4p/b4p_yoda/"
        "team"      "humans"
        "access"    "admins"
        "group"     ""
    }

ZR beta 2: It's the filename without extension in the "name" attribute. Using "name" for file name was a bad design decision by me, which is already improved for our next major release.

All these attributes are explained in the top of the config file, though. Everyone need to read a bit more, especially descriptions in top of config files.

Next major release (not entirely ready yet): There we use more descriptive attribute names. "name" is renamed to "filename", a new attribute "displayname" attribute is made for controlling the on-screen model name, and we use the section name (the name before {...}) as model identifier. Like this:

"models"
{
    // This is used as identifier in classes.
    "zh_charple001"
    {
        // General
        "displayname"           "Crispy"           // How it's displayed in menus.
        "filename"              "zh_charple001"    // Actual file name.
        "path"                  "models/player/zh/"
        "team"                  "zombies"
        
        ...
    }
}

indeed - the manual has EVERYTHING you need to fully customize ZR. It's very thorough and answers 99% of the questions that come across this forum...
