Here is the qc, error, and where I'm keeping my files

Although I'd prefer to screenshare on Discord (Dunno if Steam even has a video chat feature. And if not, they really should have one), I know some peeps here such as PTEJack don't really have Discord, so I'm gonna try and describe what I'm trying to do.

I'm trying to remove extra eyelashes on the models since the characters don't have those ingame, however, when I compile the qc using the one already decompiled with crowbar, then check the model in sfm, the extra eyelashes/parts still remain even though I deleted them in Blender. I then tried doing a dmx export and compiling a qc from scratch using ptejack's video, and then when I compile using that qc, I get the error that you see.

I could use a bit of help... I'm also trying to log all compiling errors and their fixes since surprisingly no one's created a guide for that yet.

Compiler is erroring out on Line 7 for your QC. It can't find the DMX file

pokekidgirl_reference.dmx

Either you've removed this object from your exports or you've typed the name wrong into the QC, but the QC cannot find that dmx file to compile it.

Managed to fix all of that and now I'm on line 12.

Checking my qc though and comparing it to your video,

That object doesn't exist. For some reason, BleST created a FPS Collection from the Sequence animations. Post your QC here so we can see it. Encase it in
squarebracketon code squarebracketoff
QC paste here
squarebracketon /code squearebracketoff tags

qc paste here

So you didn't follow my guide exactly after all. LOL

I never use a $CD command in any of my QCs. I always put the QC in the same folder that I extract to, that way I don't have to use it.

The problem your having (I think) is here.

$sequence "idle" {
fps 1
}

The command is not complete.

You forgot to include the DMX file to use the animation from and StudioMDL thought that name
was FPS1.dmx because that is the next thing available in the statement.

The command should be

$sequence "idle" "pokekidgirl_reference.dmx" {
fps 1
}

Ah, I must've paused the video right as you were about to put in the dmx name for the sequence. Fixed it and it compiled.

I've written down everything in my note app, so I'll know what to do every time, and now I'm on the advanced qc.

I again followed everything for my model, but I get this error on compile.

Here...

$bodygroup "zoey"

studio "zoey.dmx"

No Curly brackets, the statement is not contained and thinks the next lines are part of the bodygroup.

Should be (if you want to use $bodygroup)

$bodygroup "zoey" {

studio "zoey.dmx"
}

(or because there isn't another mesh object or you don't want to blank it out it can be writtenlike this)

$body "zoey" "zoey.dmx"

One way or the other.

And the modelname statement has an error as well

$modelname "David\Pokemon\Gen 5]zoey.mdl"

I think the ] character between Gen 5 and zoey should be a \ character.

You have 8 different eyes and 8 different mouths for this model?

(Nvm, I think I see what you're trying to do here now and writing a $texturegroup statement to change them out using textures would just be to difficult.)
