I've noticed that if you have only two skins, it ignores the second one--apparently a logic error on my part--Add a third skin setting (can be the same as the second one) and it should work.

hah, k cool

New version is out:

http://www.moddb.com/games/half-life...nloads/propper

Changes since last release:

Fixed bug where using one alternate skin caused skins not to work
Propper should now create any folder that needs to be created
the OB version no longer creates a .bsp file
logging is off by default. Use the command line option -logging to turn it back on. Hopefully this gets around the problem where it tries to create a log but can't.
option to remove bumpmapping from the converted materials. Useful if you plan to use -StaticPropLighting on compile
Fixed the issue with FGD files loading in the wrong order.

FYI the old download link, thoughtfully provided by [AE] 82694, has expired. The file can now be found at http://www.moddb.com/games/half-life...nloads/propper

I forgot to mention the new version of Propper that came out a month ago!

http://www.moddb.com/members/cfoust/...propper-beta-3

Changes since last release:
You can now create more than one model at once by turning parts of your existing map into propper_model entities. You can run Propper on the map and it will ignore everything except the propper_*entities. Other new features include:

custom physics meshes
LOD support
bodygroups support

Also there's this:

Carl.. would there be any way of making proper make rope entities into static models? (Can't remember if I asked you months ago already)

Also, I've done clip brushes to act as collision boxes for my converted displacements.. don't seem to be working. Any ideas?

**Crazycarl** · 05-26-2011, 03:54 AM

You can add ropes to a model with Propper, but they don't work on static props, I think. Afaik it's exactly the same thing as if you'd used move_rope.

If you want some static cables modeled, I could probably do that for you.

If you are using version 0.3, you need to specify a brush entity to use for collision (even if it's the same propper_model you've just made). Otherwise it will make it non-solid.

riiight okay - sorry I need to look a bit closer

it was 1am.. not my fault

*edit* ohhh, skipped over it when I saw physics an thought it was some dynamic prop thing - still sorry!

*edit* I am correct in assuming that clips are needed for displacements tho ye?

WRT ropes. I might come back to you another time, there's been loads of ropes between lights for medieval that never reached the map releases cause I hit the rope limit lol. I'll only ask if I actually get one ready for release again... but if propper could do it then I'd do it myself. Thanks for the offer tho.

**Elmo** · 05-26-2011, 11:11 AM

Oh and I thought I'd add that the new version ith the propper_model entities makes things so so much easier. Just being able to just run it on warpath and then hide the conversions and import the model... brilliant work

**Elmo** · 05-27-2011, 06:07 PM

Does it work with displacement alpha?

**Crazycarl** · 05-28-2011, 03:49 AM

Nope, because models don't support it.

**Elmo** · 05-28-2011, 09:37 AM

ah yeah thought I'd asked you before

And that makes sense cheers
