because it's not a .mdl file

I decompile .mdl, but in decompiled folder not have "modelname_physics", and in qc.

dunno its a bug from crowbar i think , use version 0.29 instead

version 0.30 and up is not extract the phy

same here，use ver 0.29 instead.

thanks. he extracted.

Having the same issue here.

with version .33
Decompiling models DOES NOT GENERATE A "modelname_physbox.smd" file
Decompiling models DOES NOT GENERATE A "modelname_physbox.smd" file

it will only generate a modelname_reference.smd file for me....

just download the 0.29 version

yes, version 29 seems to work with collision mesh - im scaling props using $scale 2

2 times the normal size - the wireframe mesh look to be good, but the collision is completely messed up - get stuck in objects when scaled 2x larger

maybe not a crowbar issue... will see

I'm having a bit of an issue as well; I'm using Crowbar 0.29 on the default settings but when I decompile the .mdl file I'm not getting a .phy file. I get a .qc file, several .smd files, and even a
filename_anims" folder with a "ragdoll.smd" file in it. I assume that means evertything is working but I'm trying to decompile an SFM model so I can use it as a ragdoll in GMOD so the physics file is kind of essential. Any ideas?

Models from Source Filmmaker don't normally have a physics file to begin with because they're not needed, if I remember correctly. That's why a lot of those ragdolls aren't in Garry's Mod as well unless the original creator uploads it with the proper files.

.phy file isn't something generated by decompiling, you get a physics.smd file which is like the reference.smd file... .phy should be near the .mdl file if it exists originally....

Ah, I see. Well the creator of the model I'm trying to port over has already said that they aren't going to port the model to GMOD themselves so I was hoping to take it upon myself and then try to get their permission to upload it, and so far finding a proper guide on how to do has been impossible. The only help I have been able to find said that I need to use a decompiler to extract the physics file but it seems that's not going to work. In any case do you perhaps know what I could do to create a physics for the model?

You would have to create them yourself in a modeling program such as Blender if a physics file doesn't already exist. This video was one of the first to pop up when I tried searching for a tutorial.

Okay, thanks Scout, or Spy I guess.

Would just like to confirm as well that version 0.29 decompiles the physics .smd file successfully.
