You are using Modern Sonic, Not MCSonic. Did you also edit your models.dat file? In most model packs/patches, there should be some text for the models.dat, whether it be on the mod's page, or the archive itself.

First of all, I'd recommend switching to MCSonic for the screenshots for OBVIOUS REASONS, and if you don't want to tamper with the models.dat, then you won't have the model.

As you were told, you need to use the character that the model is for. (Usually, the model pack's page has information about what characters and objects are supported, so that should give you an idea.)
If you don't want to do that for some reason, then you have to tweak models.dat to force the character you're using to use a specific model. Shouldn't be hard, since every line is formatted like
Note that making a character wear a model it was not designed for could cause minor issues, like animations playing where they shouldn't or animations not being played, but otherwise should work.

Most of this is correct, but it seems to actually be the skin name instead of the spriteset, whatever that means.
But this is still useful.

Not sure if you noticed that I linked to the wiki page about models? The text is colored blue.
Just in case, here's an image:

That's a spriteset in a nutshell - It's a collection of sprites under a particular name.
By the way, if you're giving an object a model, you are actually giving the sprite itself a model. Any object that wears that particular sprite will display the respective model.
It changes a bit if you instead specify a character skin, in which case the model will show up when that skin is being used.

Did you extract the MCSonic models to the right spot?
Did you modify
models.dat to include MCSonic?

It does not. You will have to edit the models.dat.

Models.dat is just a text file. Open it in Notepad. You can use the information from this thread to do the rest.

You... save the file? Then you check if the model shows up in SRB2?
models.dat should be found in the same folder where srb2win.exe is: The game folder.

Okay, if you don't even have models.dat, and SRB2 is on your desktop, then if I were you I wouldn't proceed without backing up your SRB2 stuff and installing a fresh copy of SRB2 somewhere else (I keep mine in a folder in Documents). I have seen people run into countless issues when installing the game on the desktop or in Program Files.
