One thing I know is that I use "capitalized" commands in QCs I make myself.
Either way, nice work on Crowbar and such.

Either you know exactly what I mean, or have absolutely no clue what I mean, from reading the title. What I means is, I like "appropriately" capitalizing QC commands, such as $Model, $DefineBone, $CDMaterials, $TextureGroup, $Body, etcetera, as it looks much nicer to me than completely lowercase commands all the way through. Likewise, some people may not like it, so the choice probably stands between "don't include" and "include a checkbox".

The way to determine whether a letter should be upper-case should be: Is it the first letter of what should be read as a new word, including the first word of the command? If so, upper-case. Is it part of an acronym (CD in $CDMaterials), or not a direct word? If so, upper-case. Otherwise, lower-case.

I forgot about the log thing, but I knew the animation thing wasn't planned yet. Anyway, thanks for considering it. It'll be very useful for managing mass-decompiled models and such.

The title really doesn't explain this... Anyway, I'd like if there was a way to change decompiled animations from ending up in ../[modelpath]/[modelname]_anims/* to ../[modelpath]/animations/[modelname]/*, since... well, it's a lot of unnecessary folders.
Especially in the case of Team Fortress 2's ../models/player/ (and the items subfolders) and ../weapons/c_models/ folders, most specifically when using "Full path" for the output folder, not "Subfolder (of MDL file)".

Also, is there a way to turn off log outputs? I honestly don't care about the logs most of the time, and I see no way to disable them, however their folders are annoying. Specifically when using "Full path" for the output folder.


So the too-long-didn't-read request: A way to change decompiled animations to go in "animations" instead of MDL file name folder, and a way to disable log saving.

Steps Taken:
Decompiled a model with bodygroups (Edit: And flexes)

Expected:
The generated VTA file only contains the base mesh

Issues:
The generated VTA file contains all vertices for all bodygroups, whether active by default or not

Operating System:
64-Bit Windows 7 (Home Premium)

Samples:
Team Fortress 2 playermodels, basically any pony model, etcetera


Other info:
While bodygroups can actually have flexes, it's a DMX-exclusive feature, unusable by SMD and VTA. Only $model can put VTA flexes on SMD (and DMX) meshes, not $body nor $bodygroup, where DMX can have flexes in all cases. Thus, I find it quite... bad-ish to have VTA vertices for bodygroups, when it comes to editing.

When you'll add it, since it's a tickbox, you should probably remove the double-slash-comments and such, then. (Edit: Not that I think you weren't going to, but still.)

In the 0.23 or 1.23 or whatever.23 update, a change was "added $definebone to decompiles". Having downloaded and opened up whatever.24, I see no tickbox for that. Sure, one could just delete those lines if (not) wanted, but a tickbox/option would probably be nice.

EDIT: I just realized it's commented-out. This can be ignored, if you want, then.

EDIT 2: However, I think it might be easier for people to remove a /* at the start and a */ at the end, rather than 400.000 // in some cases.

EDIT: Nevermind, seems it didn't like the Orange Box studiomdl.exe, using Ep1 studiomdl.exe does work.

I would recommend using Team Fortress 2's StudioMDL for Garry's Mod models over any other StudioMDL.

And that is relevant how...?

So that's a "maybe" for .dmx in the future?
