It depends on how you do it. I used to render models in opengl (completely overriding the internal renderer for opengl) right inside the studio code. I had modified studiomdl.exe to allow for special flags and other things, which allowed for things such as transparency on a specific point, or other neat rendering tricks. I also had complete TGA loading, where it would load textures from an external folder (and keep the bitmaps inside for software and d3d modes) I'd read in the texture name, check if a tga exists in a special texture folder in the format something like textures/models/modelname/texturename.tga and then load that texture into the index instead. As for his other problem, it depends on how he defines g_texnum. Instead of defining it as simply int g_texnum; its gotta start somewhere high, like say, int g_texnum = 20000; because hl in opengl mode USES the exact same system, and it starts at 0, and increments for every texture loaded. So if you're also using the same indices, opengl thinks you're modifying something that already exists. And I believe the console is always texnum 0, which leads to other possibilities =)

I would suspect that at the point where your code is being called, OpenGL is in a state that will not allow you to draw the models directly. You may be able to save off the state, reset, do your render then reset the original state, but I am pretty rusty at OpenGL programming and don't feel like diving into the books this morning :( Good luck.
