Gmod models not showing up in sfm

[Allupertti]

So i extracted tdmcars with gmad, made a new folder into the game folder called tdmcars, went into SDK, edited the search paths for usermod, checked tdmcars, then when i open up SFM i make sure im in all mods and MDL Files, and i rescan for models, but it just doesn't find any. Can anybody help?

I'm not sure I get what you did here...
Usermod is already in the searchpaths by default, it's a system folder of SFM so it HAS to be that way. So I'm curious.., just exactly how did you edit the search paths for usermod?

That is entirely correct. The SDK option is "Edit Search Paths for Selected Mod" - and the selected mod on the drop down menu is usually usermod. So you are editing the search paths for usermod, to which you are enabling other mods.

You can in theory start up SFM with a different master mod (which can have entirely different search paths), but it usually just causes problems.

Please hold Shift while right-clicking one of the MDL files in File Explorer, choose "Copy as path", and paste it here.

That seems correct. Can you see the "tdmcars" folder in the folder selection of the model browser?

search bar empty?

No i can't. I can see the mod up where theres tf, tf_movies etc. but there is no tdmcars folder in the folder selection.

Please show a screenshot of Source Filmmaker's model browser, with any random model selected.

The "full path" of the model says that Source Filmmaker is located at this location:
E:/steamapps/common/SourceFilmmaker/

This says that the custom model is located at this location:
C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/SourceFilmmaker/


As you can see, your custom model is simply not installed where Source Filmmaker is installed. (That you have somehow managed to make Source Filmmaker's "SDK" find a "tdmcars" search path anyway makes no sense to me, but regardless, Source Filmmaker can't find the model because the model actually isn't there.)
