No I doesn't have a new name I've only changed the model.

You have an unwanted space in the weap file, just after WEAPONFILE

WEAPONFILE \wea

Ok thank you that fixed the error, but now i do still get the red FX in my face. Does anybody know how I can get rid of this fx, I think it has something to do with the precaching of the model, but I don't know exactly. I would be really happy if someone could help me.

COD4 should include the xmodel in mod.ff if you've used the weapon line in mod.csv (loads all the models in the weapon too), but try adding:

xmodel,db_laser_cannon

then because it's a standard existing wepfile, it should be precached automatically along with all the others.

I've tried that but it is not working the modbuilder gives me an error: " Couldn't find db_laser_cannon in your mod directory"
Where do I have to put the xmodel to fix this.

urgh modbuilder, no-one should have to deal with that buggy rubbish

anyway, you don't need to move any xmodel stuff, but you'd be better off using a batch file to compile your mod.ff. Here's a template to go in your mod folder as makemod.bat:

del mod.ff

xcopy animtrees ..\..\raw\animtrees /SY
xcopy weapons ..\..\raw\weapons /SY
xcopy xmodel ..\..\raw\xmodel /SY
xcopy mp ..\..\raw\mp /SY
xcopy ui ..\..\raw\ui /SY
xcopy ui_mp ..\..\raw\ui_mp /SY
xcopy soundaliases ..\..\raw\soundaliases /SY
xcopy sound ..\..\raw\sound /SY
xcopy maps ..\..\raw\maps /SY
xcopy character ..\..\raw\character /SY
xcopy vision ..\..\raw\vision /SY
copy /Y mod.csv ..\..\zone_source
cd ..\..\bin
linker_pc.exe -language english -compress -cleanup mod
cd ..\mods\modfoldername
copy ..\..\zone\english\mod.ff
pause

change modfoldername to your folder, then all you have to do is run it to compile. This'll save you from a lot of problems with modbuilder later and might fix the model problem.
