So, CS:GO's model system is different from other source engine games, and one difference is that it has a new .ani file inside the mdl file. The problem is, i don't think crowbar has support for .ani files yet, and for that reason compiling CS:GO models is impossible, and breaks the model completely, (right now i tried to compile it and it compiled a 0 KB .mdl file, as well as a 0 KB .ini file) and i can't seem to find any other way around it, even though there are a lot of people who have uploaded custom CS:GO models in gamebanana.com, i have no idea how they managed to do that. Let me also say that de-compiling a CS:GO model, and compiling it right after without any changes made to it at all, i get 2 types of errors. One is this, i uploaded it to pastebin so that i don't fill up this thread.

And the second error i sometimes get is the EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION' (assert: 1) error. If you have any ideas on how i can properly decompile and compile CS:GO models i would highly appreciate it :)

It's because you downloaded the developer version.

Crowbar version: 0.44.0.0 (Latest)

Steps Taken:
1.) Copied and pasted all the scientist model files from valve/models, those files include:
scientist.mdl
scientist01.mdl
scientist02.mdl
scientist03.mdl
scientist04.mdl
scientist05.mdl
scientist06.mdl
scientist07.mdl
scientistT.mdl

2.) Decompiled it in Crowbar
3.) Made changes to the scientist_body1_model0.smd file using blender, and exported it using the goldsource option.
4.) Compiled it in Crowbar using the Half-Life option, which did not work.

Expected:
Models are properly compiled.

Issues:
Compiler says that scientist_body1_model0.smd.smd doesn't exist, but it does exist with the exact same file name and extension without any spelling mistakes. Also, i made no changes to that file at all.

Operating System:
Win10

Samples:
From Half-Life 1.
