prop_mesh - Custom Prop Loader

Description
WHAT IS PROP_MESH
prop_mesh is a entity that allows you to load a .obj model! It's similar with PAC, but made for props!
So.. basically.. unlimited prop models!

SUPPORTS :
- Only .OBJ models! (You can export them using blender)
- Multi-textured models
- MTL loading
- Adv.duplicator
- Resizing the box collision (and later on the offset)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EXAMPLES OF LINKS

And more!
- Microsoft OneDrive
- Gitlab
- Your own S3 server / provider

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CONTRIBUTE / BUG REPORTS
You can contribute to the addon (and log bugs) on the link bellow!
https://github.com/edunad/prop_mesh

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q / A
Q: My model is not loading
A: Try opening it on blender and re-exporting as .obj. Some models might have broken normals / vertex

Q: Does it work with addon <x>?
A: Give it a try! Should behave correctly :)

Q: I have tried everything, including re-exporting from blender
A: Make sure you check KNOWN ISSUES! If that still doesn't work, feel free to open a bug report on https://github.com/edunad/prop_mesh/issues

Q: I can't open the prop_mesh settings
A: Make sure you have at least a Prop Protection addon installed (if you walk through, you most likely don't have one), also make sure you are not running pure SinglePlayer (at least select 1 / 2 players and tick local server). Then try pressing E on the object

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTES

- When using prop_mesh make sure you at least have a Prop Protection ADDON (else it will use SetOwner to determine the owner, preventing you from grabbing it!), for example https://gtm.you1.cn/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=159298542

- If you want to use it SINGLEPLAYER, make sure "Local Server" is ticked! Do not start it PURE SINGLEPLAYER

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

KNOWN ISSUES
- If your model / textures look "weird" try converting the faces to tris (if you use blender, when exporting the obj, tick "Triangulate Faces"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

COMMANDS
SERVER : sbox_maxprop_mesh <number> - Max prop_mesh per players (Default: 10) prop_mesh_maxTriangles <number> - Max prop_mesh Obj triangles allowed in TOTAL (Default: 1650) prop_mesh_maxSubMeshes <number> - Max prop_mesh sub-meshes allowed (HIGH VALUE = More rendering lag) (Default: 5) prop_mesh_maxOBJ_bytes <number> - Max prop_mesh obj size in BYTES (Default: 2048576) prop_mesh_maxScaleVolume <number> - Max prop_mesh volume scale (Default: 580) prop_mesh_minScaleVolume <number> - Min prop_mesh volume scale (Default: 3) prop_mesh_ignoreContentRange <number> - Ignore Content-Range check, users will be able to force the server to download huge files! (Default: 0)
CLIENT : prop_mesh_urltexture_timeout <number> - How many seconds before timing out (Default: 30) ------------- prop_mesh_queue_interval <0.35 to 1> - How many seconds between prop_mesh mesh rendering (LOW VALUE = More chances of crashing) (Default: 0.5) ------------- prop_mesh_urltexture_reload - Reloads all url textures prop_mesh_urltexture_clear - Clear url texture cache
SHARED : prop_mesh_objcache_clear - Clear cached models (If ran on server, it will clear clients cache)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TODO (Not in order)
### Mesh
  • Save parsed mesh on client as cache
  • Save textures on client as cache
  • Improved transparency support
  • Workshop support??
  • Allow clients to block custom providers

### Entity
  • Server / Client code improvements
  • Handle server failing to parse model?
  • Handle not having a prop protection addon

Was previously called QUBE, but changed name since this makes more sense :S

Error applying entity modifer, "SAVE_DATA". ERROR: lua/entities/prop_mesh/init.lua:124: attempt to call method 'IsAdmin' (a nil value)
what is it?

can you please add either valve mdl (pac3 already has that) or gltf support? obj is a mess to work with if using a model with materials on it

Broken with dropbox links, lame.
sebthechoochooman 19 Sep, 2023 @ 2:19pm 
this has become a recurring problem and I really dont see an answer to it, whenever I have an obj loaded in game, or when I get the opportunity to load one in, sometimes i can load it completely normal. then I open up the game again and suddenly "poof" failed to find 'Content-Range' header, I say "weird flex", open the game again and then "poof" object back to normal. any good ideas onto WHY it may be doing this from time to time?
