Displacement edge abutting other edges
Help understanding the VBSP compile warning about displacement edge abutting other edges.
Studiomdl.exe - Check for write enable
This error occurs when the path for the output model does not exist. This is an error that happens at the compile stage and will happen if you are compiling straight from WWMT or by compiling manually from the batch file.
Lighting Rollout
This rollout contains lighting controls and other miscellaneous controls that are either rarely used or are experimental.
Nothing Happens When You Hit Export
Model does not compile when you hit export. Here are some solutions.
Grouped Geometry is Not Supported
When exporting grouped models to SMD, the SMD exporter will fail to export your model correctly.
Attachments & Particle System UI
Attachments are points on your model where you can attach extra models and particle systems (guns, sprites, etc). This page details both Attachments and Particle Systems since the Particle System controls are also in the attachment rollout.
