SRB2 MD2 Is Not Functional Anymore?

[ArrowTheGizoid]

Hello. I was trying to get a model like I do every day into SRB2ME. It didn't work. Then I tried to do it in the previous version. Unknown command? It usually works, but not today. Is it because the team made it not functional in other versions? Because I love rigging models and putting them in SRB2, and I was thinking about joining the biz for that reason, but I can't get it to work in either anymore! Does anyone have a suggestion?

Models only work in OpenGL, SRB2ME does not use OpenGL.

My suggestion is: Give up on models. OpenGL is obsolete with the release of the new version, so MD2 models don't really have a point anymore.

 

[ArrowTheGizoid]

You're saying that it destroyed the gr_md2 option for the previous version?! That is totally absurd.

 

[Fawfulfan]

No, theoretically, MD2 models should work, but to run them, you'll have to play the game in a now-obsolete video mode.

I don't know the answer to your problem. Sorry.

But when I try to type "Gr_MD2 1" in the console, it says it is an unknown command.

OpenGL is not supported kthxbai

 

[ArrowTheGizoid]

Wait, don't go! It's not supported in the previous version?

You can only type that in in OpenGL mode. And as OpenGL mode is vaporised. Basically, there are NO MORE MD2s. D:

I heard someone was making an OpenGL thing for SRB2 though, but that'll take quite a while.

 

[ArrowTheGizoid]

Oy... I was getting into SRB2, too. Oh well, time to quit that job and back to BlitzSonic I guess, huh?

 

[Cyan Ryan]

Why in the world would you quit SRB2 because they got rid of OpenGL? :|

 

[Drake Spyker]

Something most of you don't seem to have noticed is that he's also trying to figure out why the previous version (that being the old 1.09.4 which DOES have OpenGL) won't run MD2s.

How stupid of me! I forgot to actually turn it on! I guess I've been off it too long. Lockers, do your thing.
