Hello guys,

Make sure the location of your model and all the spelling is correct on your map cfg , that it is not commented (with no // in front of the model's line) and that you have the model's number right.

Ok surry for my no-knowing^^ ... but what u mean with the map cfg ?
And how to find out the number of the mapmodel?

"mapmodel 0 0 0 0 "mapmodelname"" should not be typed in game but written into yourmap config file.

mapmodels are called from cfgs

Go to config folder and open

default_map_settings.cfg

(in notepad)

There you uncomment (remove //) the extra stuff that you need
and then you save this as a NEW cfg with the name of your map and you put it in the same folder where your map is.

so example

/maps/mapname.cfg
/maps/mapname.cgz

If you want custom 3d models or more custom textures go to:

and add them to your maps cfg in new lines

like this

if up there on akimbo it says

packages/models/mapmodels/dcp/halfdoor

you will add

mapmodel 0 0 0 0 "dcp/halfdoor"

But first find that model or texture on akimbo and download it so you have it ready in
EXAMPLE: packages/models/mapmodels/dcp/halfdoor

(so you can actually see it in your map while editing)

Hope this covers some stuff about the complicated subject of making maps in ac:D
