I'm trying to make a half-life mod, and this is the first creature I made, a Barnacle. It looks fine to me, but even trying to load up Arena mode makes the game crash. Can anyone find what's wrong?

What does your errorlog say?

Thanks. I messed up a couple tags, it seems. It mostly works now, but it says it can't find the skin, fat and muscle tissues. Any idea why?

It looks like you neglected to give it any in the first place. Try these.

Thanks a lot. I'm still pretty new to modding. I've done some minor stuff before, but never made new creatures.

[Seriyu]

I'd just like to say, don't worry about messing up creatures, they're easily one of the more complex parts of modding. (doesn't mean you shouldn't do them if you want to though, pretty much everything is "entry level".)

Keep at it! Kind've surprised I haven't seen a half life mod yet honestly.
