// Output .MDL
$modelname "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\ns skins\textures\sg.mdl"

// Directory of .SMD
$cd "\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\ns skins\textures\"

// Directory of .BMP
$cdtexture "\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\ns skins\textures\"
$cliptotextures

// Write textures into a sgT.mdl
//$externaltextures

$scale 1.0

// bodygroups: use relative path from $cd
$bodygroup body
{
studio "sg"
}

// sequences: all sequences are in $cd
$sequence seq-name "idle" loop fps 30 ACT_IDLE 1

So it crashes eh? Check if the bmps are indexed color(AKA 256)

try using studiomdl rather than ms3d, as studiomdl wont crash, but tell you the error

The milkshape website has some very useful troubleshooting stuff in their forums. When I had a problem like this it was because I had not indexed the bmp texture files as someone else suggested was your problem.

funbags

it indeed was the indexed problem, thank you ctx for helping me, and thanks you guys too.


maybe next time i shouldnt take some bmp off the internet and cut the stock picture off and save it as a bmp...heh

CoolCookieCooks

using other peoples textures eh? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

and i never used anyones skins...i looked up "spas12" off the internet. its a photo that i cut in ms paint.

99% of the time, when MS3D crashes when compiling, is that one or more of your .bmps are NOT 256 colors.
