Can't get 3D models to show up with Heretic!

Forum rules
Contrary to popular belief, we are not all-knowing-all-seeing magical beings!

If you want help you're going to have to provide lots of info. Like what is your hardware, what is your operating system, what version of GZDoom/LZDoom/whatever you're using, what mods you're loading, how you're loading it, what you've already tried for fixing the problem, and anything else that is even remotely relevant to the problem.

We can't magically figure out what it is if you're going to be vague, and if we feel like you're just wasting our time with guessing games we will act like that's what you're really doing and won't help you.

I think you better ask in the Editing forum. The normal modders which may be able to help you normally do not visit the Tech Issues forum.

Reddit user u/migcar demostrated that VOXEL models work (KVX files). I tried it out and they show up just fine. Here's the link: https://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comment ... s/e0waukt/

What's going on?

Should I give up on this? Can anyone help?

I'll follow your first suggestion. So when you boot them up, does the base frame for the crossbow show? Is it possible that someone borked the code, and 3D weapons scale 100 times smaller or something? We know it's worked in the past or people wouldn't have made weapon packs. Here's a youtube video from 3 years ago that has 3D weapon models: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9b8hpEKHLs

So are 3D weapons in Heretic a lost cause then?

EDIT: Here's a 3D weapon pack that won't work either: https://steamcommunity.com/linkfilter/? ... 100928.pk3

You should remove that intermediate HereticVRWeapons folder. The zip loader cannot decide in this case whether to treat it as a container or as a genuine part of the mod.
But even after that I do not see any models. They are just empty, it seems.

No problem:

I tried another person's weapon pack (didn't edit it at all), and it didn't work either.

It's possible that it's the VERSION of GZDoom. A reddit user (Fish_Biter) released a version that runs VR with OpenVR tracked controllers. Here's his post: https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamVR/commen ... _controls/

This sounds like it gets caught in the game filter. Can you post your entire .pk3?

I can get 3D weapon models to show up no problem in Doom/Doom II, but when I do the same thing in Heretic, they won't show. I know my .DEF is loading because the sprites will disappear during the frames I have overwritten with my model. but the model just won't show up. I can even rename and put my heretic models into my doom pk3, and they show up fine.

Here's the contents of my Modeldef.Heretic.Weapons.def

Code: Select all

MODEL CROSSBOW
{
   Path "Models/Weapons/Hud/CROSSBOW"
   Model 0 "EtherealCrossbow.md3"
   Skin 0 "EtherealCrossbow.png"

   Scale 1.0 1.0 1.0
   FrameIndex CRBW A 0 0
   FrameIndex CRBW B 0 0
   FrameIndex CRBW C 0 0
}
BTW, these are for the new release of the GZDoom VR with tracked motion controls. Works great with the Doom wads!
