Is there any reason in particular this model didn't de- and re-compile correctly (that you know of)?

Crowbar version:
0.51.0.0

Steps Taken:
Attempted to de-compile a model that seems to have $Body listed before $Model, while $Model has VTA flexes and eyeball definitons, to add eyes_updown and eyes_leftright flex controllers for eye movement support in Source FilmMaker.

Expected:
The model to de-compile and re-compile correctly.

Issues:
The previous $Body is now $Model, with the VTA flex definitions on it while completely missing the eyeball definitions. The previous $Model is now $Body, too, with no special parameters, and flexes not working. This means that flexes have completely stopped working.
I'm also not 100% sure whether the VTA file's flexes match up to the to-be-flexed mesh correctly, as Blender shows them to be wrong, but that might just be Blender linking VTA vertices incorrectly on import.

Operating System:
64-bit Windows 10

Samples:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=116797740 (Using Garry's Mod's own gmad.exe to turn it from a .gma file into loose folders and files, by dragging the .gma file from -/steamapps/common/GarrysMod/garrysmod/addons on top of -/steamapps/common/GarrysMod/bin/gmad.exe.)
According to Source FilmMaker's "change bodygroups" list (without de-compiling the model), the hands of this model come before the rest of the model, while it's the rest of the model that has flexes. Both parts were compiled as SMDs (and VTAs), not DMXes.
Also see this thread for slightly more information, I guess: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/app/1840/discussions/0/1489992713708505122/



Irrelevant side-note: The "read this first" post's template has "Crowbar version:" with the bold code tags around it, though the rest of the lines are bold themselves without code tags around them. I'm guessing you set up [noparse] incorrectly there.

I know I'm pretty late (8 days late or so), but just select all text (Ctrl+A), then either click "Edit" > "Convert Case to" > "lowercase", or hit Ctrl+U.

I made a very simple model that uses a small QC file and a small mesh SMD file.

But it's almost entirely a DMX-specific issue. For SMDs, it works as intended (though probably not expected), yes, but for DMXes, almost always no. And for SMDs, I can safely say it's an extremely rare occurence, while somewhat common for DMXes.

Originally posted by ZeqMacaw:

I realize that you think this is a bug with DMX files, but Crowbar knows nothing about DMX.

It is a bug with DMX files, however. DMX files have material names, just like SMD, but additionally can have an embedded path a little alike $CDMaterials, which is not part of the actual material name in the source, but decompiled as such.

You have been saying "Crowbar just makes what the source files look like, which isn't like what you expect" several times to me about this issue, I think, but no, the source files very rarely actually have the path in the material names themselves, only embedded somewhere else in the source. Kind of hard to explain.

Originally posted by ZeqMacaw:

I am leaving this bug report open because I intend to redo (with some tweaking) what some older versions of Crowbar did with the material paths, so that $CDMaterials show all paths and no paths show in the SMD material lines.

Goodie.

(Reposted to fit your bug reporting standards. Previous post deleted.)

Crowbar version: 0.32.0.0 Edit: Also 0.33.0.0

Steps Taken:
Compiled a QC (see the link in "Samples").
Decompiled the resulting MDL.

Expected:
The material name(s) of the resulting SMD(s) matches the DMX material name(s).

Issues:
It doesn't, adding in folder names in front for some reason.

Operating System: 64-bit Windows 10.

Samples: http://sta.sh/01dpzgov3g17

If you have any questions about the nature of this bug (not feature) with Crowbar, please ask them, and I shall do my best to answer them. I do know why this happens (on the Source compiling part), and can explain it if you want.

Sounds good. Thanks.

I have this exact same issue with all class-specific gibs as well as random_gib.mdl in Team Fortress 2's models/player/gibs/X.mdl.

Steps Taken:
- Extracted Team Fortress 2's "models/player/items/scout/scout_zombie.mdl" and related files.
- Decompiled it using Crowbar version 0.30.0.0.

Expected:
- The model is properly decompiled with correct material names.

Issues:
- The model is properly dumped into SMD files and a QC, but the SMD (and QC) say models\player\scout\scout_red_zombie instead of scout_red_zombie for one of the material names, and the same issue happens with models\player\items\all_class\skeleton instead of skeleton.
- Despite that, though, the $TextureGroup lists the second skin correctly as scout_blue_sombie.

Operating System:
- Windows 10, 64-bit

Samples:
- Team Fortress 2/tf/tf2_misc_dir.vpk

Apparently version 0.27.0.0 introduced these in some way, judging by some guy's problems with a QC (his problems are with him making some mistakes with adding stuff himself, not decompile and recompile), but... Even though it's $Model and $ModelName and $CollisionJoints and such, it's still flexfile and eyeball and defaultflex and $jointconstrain and so on.

If you want to study cases in one of my QCs that compiles properly, http://sta.sh/0unb82lwcvh
Additionally, I can confirm FlexFile (and at least its FlexController and Flex) of $Model can be case-ified as well. (The QC I linked to merely uses DMX, so no FlexFile there, but it does use $CollisionJoints and $JiggleBone, and some other things.)

Steps Taken: Decompiled Team Fortress 2's models/player/pyro_animations.mdl.

Expected: All animations have been decompiled.

Issues: Only animations with a name have been decompiled.
For example, the Pool Party taunt is "hidden" with no name, and therefore doesn't get decompiled. (At least not yesterday, may have been updated today.)

Operating System: 64-Bit Windows 7.
