Yeah it's like a prop, it just an idle thing, you know the H.E.V. suit in Half-Life, It's gonna be like that, btw it's not a reskin, it's an actual model that I've made with its own textures and everything, but for now it's gonna be a prop.

Oh, I just found out you made a guide about crowbar, is there anything about manually writing QCs?

I now have crowbar. And I've decompiled a hl1 model (big_rock) and it made a QC file. I opened the its QC with note pad. here's what it said.

// Created by Crowbar 0.51.0.0

$modelname "valve/models/big_rock.mdl"
$cd "."
$cdtexture "."
$cliptotextures
$scale 1.0

$bodygroup "studio"
{
studio "big_rock_large_rock_reference"
}

$flags 0


$cbox 0 0 0 0 0 0

$bbox 0 0 0 0 0 0

$hbox 0 "GeoSphere01" -15.66 -16.530001 -16.93 15.66 16.530001 16.360001

$sequence "idle1" {
"big_rock_anims\idle1"
fps 30
}

Is there a guide out there witch explains what these commands do? And what things would I need to change to set it to my model? I'd like the model to sort of behave like the H.E.V. suit item in Half-Life, right now I want to worry about getting the model with 1 animated sequence named idle into the game so I can at least see it in the game, and worry about all the c++ coding stuff later. Sry if I'm bombarding you with questions.

So yes I'm making a model for the Goldsource.

The original hl1 goldsrc, not the newer src like hl2, cstrike src, portal, ect. It's the golden src days for me.Scratch that part about having all the necessary tools, I forgot to get crowbar apparently, so I'm trying to download the file right now (my internet's still laggy, this'll take a while).

It's okay, every failure is an opportunity to succeed (most likely quoted by someone). Sry It's been long since I've posted, my Internet was being slow and I was playing counter strike source in a server full of bots (because I suck). But I have made some progress. I've scaled my model properly, I've gotten the necessary tools, I've done everything properly. But I'm confused on what to set the engine path property for Half-Life, this is necessary so when I export the model it will also spit out a QC file for the model.

But what if you wanted to make a model for a goldsource game (e.g. the first Half-life game) would you set it to its valve file or what? And also, where would I find this "tool-tip" you speak of in Blender?

I'm watching the video(s) but I'm not trying to port models into SFM, I'm trying to make a model for half-life 1 to be seen in a custom mod/map. Would this series still be helpful for what I'm trying to do? (sry if I accidentally spam, my internet's laggy today)
