You maintain it for FMs and I offer it for general use. The more people toying with the lamp the more feedback / support we may get.

I noticed the lens part of the model is transparent. We need a modeler.

I was going to deal with that just by adding a new skin...

Link the model here and I will solve that, is easy (famous last words.... ).

To me no need to link the material or textures just the raw model. Btw is the model lwo? I can only open .lwo models in Modo my tool of choice.

@HMart You can find it here (under models/darkmod/weapons): https://github.com/thedarkmodcommunity/mod-handheld-lamp

Was this model made in DR? The uvmap is all over the place, meaning it falls outside the 0 1 area. 

But that is not the problem, the problem is that It add a missing face in the back of the lamp thing, so you could see to the outside thought it.  I put a face there that should solve the problem.

Perhaps we just have to replace this material with something less fancy.

I could try with different materials myself if the model was in ASE (or any other open) format.

Then the problem is also the material, yes.

I would assign a opaque dark material, to the inside faces of the light housing, minus the glass front, so they don't blend with the background.

I took your version of the model @HMart and managed to export it from DarkRadiant in ASE format and I changed the texture. I don't know about collisions or anything about models and I hardly know what I am doing but it looks a little better now, imho. v0.3 at the bottom.

Thanks, @Goldwell!

The animations are so fast that your sounds are way too long but your samples are so rich that I found a nice texture that I think gives the lamp some personality. Hope you like the result. v0.4 at the bottom.
