I had a few odd errors similar to this that were related to orphaned verticies, edges or small faces left over in the model after some type of editing.

The car originally after ripping was in parts so I joined them using CTRL+J so that's maybe the case... idk if connecting every mesh with each other would work, i'll have to try that but not now because there's 12AM here when I'm writting this.
(also when car parts' axises were on center, the parts actually weren't in a center, but they were placed like they should be)

How do i leave this group ? i keep getting notifications

thx

Joining will create one model, but that could still include a hiding vert point that is not directly connected to anything or an edge that may be connected at one end and not the other. Scanning carefully through the mesh at all angles and selecting/deselecting islands while switching modes between vert/edge/face modes has helped me find and solve this type issue.

Definitely focus on the areas of the mess that are missing in the final model.

You could also try going back to the separated models parts before the join and compile each part individually to narrow the hunt. The individual compiled model parts will look like junk of course in model viewer, but the compiler output from each might point out a problem area.

Also if you haven't already, double check that directions of mess normals are pointing the right direction.

yeah, but if I compile each part invidually, in HLMV it just shows up a model that is one way transparent (you can see for example texture from inside of car, but not from outside (it's transparent and you can see thru it), also that part of texture should be outside one, not for inside.
Idk if RipImport script could do something for the model
Guess I'll have to try Noesis to import rip files, then extract them to OBJ , then to Blender tho

no way, it worked
I guess the RipImport script for Blender 2.77 was old and broken and it couldn't import .rip files correctly.

Conclusion:

a) Use Noesis for importing ripped models from NinjaRipper, then export them to .obj and import them into Blender. Also flip the UV textures while exporting them from Noesis because UVs will be flipped up tho. Only for Blender 2.79 because there's updated script for 2.8 and I guess it works, I'll have to update Blender to see if it works

b) Physics weren't loaded because I moved my qc file somewhere else and StudioMDL was creating physics by itself, fixed by changing the export folder.
