MESA is extremely path-sensitive. Take care to place all scripts in the proper folders. In addition, exported smds will not compile correctly unless Maya scenes and textures are in exactly the right directories.
* [https://puppet-master.net/tutorials/source-engine/create-a-source-engine-mod/ Create Source Engine Mod]
 
For scenes, the path is:
%GAME_PROJECT_SRC%\scenes\props
 
Textures should be in:
%GAME_PROJECT_SRC%\materialsrc\models\props
