That's normal output. There's no error unless the output says there was an error.
If the textures are larger than 256 they are downsampled so to fit into 256x256.
In order for the animations to work... A) they must actually be present when you open the model in the viewer tool (meaning they were successfully imported) ... B) they must not require "soft" animation (not yet supported) ie. each moving part must be a solid "mesh" -- eg. think Tin Man, not Scarecrow ... C) They must be named to match the traditional Som animation IDs, or must at least correspond to the .prf file. I explained how to do that probably near the top of this thread.
Don't give up and you'll figure it out. I can't tell if your model there is one piece or not. If it is you won't be able to animate it as such just yet. I do plan on very much supporting "soft" animation asap. Once you're as good with the tools as you are Meta' and x2mdo etc, you could really help others by writing a guide "for dummies" (no offense) ... I've wasted enough time trying to write such guides in the past I know that I'm no good for it.
PS: I can't help with attacking. The .mdl and .cp file only deal with animating the model and the control points. I suggest choosing an asset (which came with Som) that is close to what you want to do, and just use its .prf file while changing the .mdl/.cp file. Your control points will need to be of the same type/quantity, and it will be limited to whatever the asset you chose can do, but you're free to model it however you want and move the control points about as you please. If you want more than that Todd might be able to help in the .prf dept. It's something I haven't looked at so far.
If you think you've done all that you can and fulfilled all these requirements, and things still don't work, send me a copy of your files and I will see where things are not working / if x2mdl needs some work. Afaik x2mdl/cpgen works with all of the "Tin Man" .mdl files that come with Som to produce functionally identical files.
