(opening non-HL2 models)

Whenever I run hlmv, it always gives me the models from HL2, no matter what I've specified in Source SDK as the game I want to work with.

* I found the answer to the first half of my question [http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=617242&highlight=%22model+viewer%22 here]; basically, hlmv loads the models for HL2 AND the models for whatever game you have selected. Still can't view individual .mdl files, though. [[User:Luvcraft|Luvcraft]] 22:53, 3 Nov 2007 (PDT)

opening non-HL2 models

Whenever I run hlmv, it always gives me the models from HL2, no matter what I've specified in Source SDK as the game I want to work with. If I try to open it with the command-line option of -game [path of game I want to use], it doesn't open at all, and if I try dragging an .mdl file to it it ALWAYS says "error loading model", even when that model is from a commercial game like Counter Strike: Source or Portal, or from a working mod. Is there any way to open models in hlmv that aren't the ones in the HL2 GCF? Luvcraft 22:12, 3 Nov 2007 (PDT)
