[Decorate] How to input models in game?

[yunoguy123]

So i have the model created in blender, exported it to MP3, and i have everything that i need, only problem is, i have no fucking idea what i'm doing, i've looked at the wiki and i just dont get it, can someone explain it in dumb person words?

as far as i'm concerned models use modeldef and not decorate, decorate is for the code, but i am no expert so...

[yunoguy123]

Yes this is true but i have no idea how to do either
I mean i have understanding of decorate with sprites but not decorate with models

And what would be the the good way to put a new map in the game, and not just objects? Because I'd like to create a Medieval themed map, buying this castle in Italy is somehow more than I can afford but I still want to run around it, gunning down monsters... So, I figured that including it in the game would be a good alternative; my wallet likes it much better, for example

Hello everyone, a bit of an update.
I managed to get the model in game but i cannot get textures in correctly, i UV-Mapped them properly in blender but in game it looks very off, the model by default in game was very small so i blew it up to 15x size in game, does that make the texture which is normally 1024x1024 lose its quality? there doesn't seem to be any documentation on this.

Some lessons from this:
Make sure the model is pretty big in blender, otherwise ittl show up very small in game.
Make sure the model is just barely above the ground or you'll have flickering textures.
Make sure you specify the path correctly.
Still working on getting those textures looking properly

The textures are raster graphics. If their resolution is low compared to the size of the model on the screen it will be pixelated under _any_ circumstances. To improve upon this you need to increase the size of the rasterimage that is your texture.

Also, if you want reference material of some kind, you can you the aow2 mod.

Also, if you figure this stuff out from end to other, please write about it. I would like to know how to get the engine to do model things. :P

[yunoguy123]

That doesnt make ANY sense since the models are relatively small and the textures are all 1024x1024

I also do have a reference for this which is Wad'A'Holic's Total Chaos and SuperPomme/Robert Prest's DoomZ

I have it fixed, Lollipop was not even close to the problem i was having (No offense to him, more power to him for trying to help)

For an unanimated model, MAKE SURE YOU ARE USING ONLY 1 FRAME.
Don't use cycles renderer while exporting.
Don't use materials.

just download it and look at the modeldef and decorate part you will need to extract those files to take a glimpse at them I recommend a pk3 editor or if you are on Android zarchiver is your friend also if u use zarchiver it will give you the folder structure that you will need to set it up correctly so no errors occur
maybe it will give you some insight of what your trying to do
