What exactly are you trying to do? Are you making a new weapon model, or just modifying an existing one?

I'll try to help you with what I can see. This error means one of your weapon tags is invalid. If you're using a custom model, I'll refer you to one of the modeling experts; If you're trying to complie a map with modified tags, then check them and make sure there are no red words or other strange values.

Again, though, you need to clarify exactly what you're trying to compile.

Make sure none of your tags are missing a name. This most common tag would be .weapon after extracting b40. Just give it a name before the .weapon and tool will react fine.

i am trying to make a dual assault rifle, i believed its tagged and mapped correctly. please don't say its a nooby weapon, im trying to make it less powerful as a dual weapon

I'm trying to ask what you're using tool for. Are you building the model (tool model directory/file) or the map (tool build-cache-file directory/file)? Both of 'em could give you errors.

I've seen this error many times, and my solution is correct. Even if it's your tags and not that one from b40, just make sure it has a name.

im building the model from the jms file, and it has a name

What exactly are you typing into tool, and what are all the material names of your model? Tool could be trying to use a shader with no "name".

[Delta4907]

i am typing:

tool model weapons\dual_ar

i checked all the materials, they are all named

doesn't anyone have a solution?
