I see what it was. I only took the mdl, made it into a qc, and tried to open that. It seems like decompiling it in the same folder as the vvcs creates an smd that is needed as well. Thanks for the input everyone

Ok well this is cool. No clue what I did but it works now. My bad

Importing QCs works fine for me and I have not had a problem with any that I have ever tried to import coming out of Crowbar.

Suggest you make sure you're using the most current version of Source Tools (currrently 2.10.2) and try again. Also, if you want to see what that error is exactly, toggle the System console...

See this ... https://i.imgur.com/ehSd8sg.png

I also see that despite the file being a .qc the error says "ERROR: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Users\\sawye\\Documents\\SquadLeaderBody.smd.dmx'"

and refers to it as .smd.dmx

is this normal?

heres the full error: https://i.imgur.com/OgcxcT6.png

All my software is up to date, blender and the source tools. It seems like the error says the file I'm trying to import doesn't exist. The file path shown is 100% correct and does exist so I'm not sure why that happens

I fairly certain it's not a problem with my specific file as I tried it with 2 different ones (both decompiled by crowbar) nor do I think its a problem with .qc files in general. I can never read the full message before it disappears but it always has paths in the blender directory. Does anyone know what to do about this? I can't find anyone else with this issue
