[FIXED][BUG] Crowbar 0.27 fails to extract all animations from ".mdl + .ani files"
Clarification of the problem (at least clearer for me):
The QC file shows some SMD file names that are not created by Crowbar.

After decompiling on my computer, I discovered the log never finished. The last line of the log shows this:
Writing "m_anm_anims\a_../combine_soldier_xsi/Hold_AR2_base.smd" file ...

After debugging, I fixed the issue by changing the problem file name to:
"m_anm_anims\combine_soldier_xsi/a_Hold_AR2_base.smd"

(I changed the other problem file names using same pattern.)

Unfortunately, I discovered that the decompiled anim SMD files seem to use the same data for every single frame in all anims. I'll try to fix that when I can.

[FIXED] Crowbar 0.27 puts compiled model into same folder where is .qc
Compile now has "Output Folder" options near the top. The model files are always moved to what you set there.

If using "View" button crashes HLMV, try "View as Replacement" button. Be sure the View tab has its Game set to the one you want to use for viewing.

These are to avoid having modders leave assets in a game's folders without first putting into a VPK file. However, the features might need a bit more refinement.

Changelog:

=== General ===
  • Changed Decompile and Compile tabs to look and act similarly to one another.
  • Added a View tab that shows info about an MDL file directly and allows quick viewing of model in HLMV.
  • Added an Options tab that shows options for alternative ways to open MDL and QC files, as well as a folder of MDL or QC files.
  • Added several more games and mods to the default Setup Games list.

=== Decompile ===
  • Changed MDL File option to "MDL File or Folder" option, allowing user to select a folder, like in WinMerge.
  • Moved Decompile Log textbox and buttons from its own tab to bottom of Decompile tab.
  • Write decompiled files into same subfolder hierarchy as the MDL files subfolder hierarchy.
  • Added an option to create a folder for each model in the output folder.
  • Removed creation of logs folder.
  • Option to write or not write the decompile log.
  • Option to create "anims" subfolder for each model.
  • Option to "Group into QCI files".
  • Option to "Include $definebone lines".
  • Option to "Format for stricter importers", e.g. for use with MESA (smd importer for Maya).
  • Added a "Use in Compile" button for automatically copying the selected QC file name that was just decompiled to the Compile tab for compiling.
  • Several other interface changes.
  • Decompiling of *some* v49 ANI files. Still working out why some animations are still not decompiled correctly.
  • Added the decompiling of $ambientboost QC command.
  • Added the decompiling of $maxeyedeflection QC command.
  • Added the decompiling of these $animation options in the QC file:
    • localhierarchy
    • noanimation
  • Added the decompiling of these $sequence options in the QC file:
    • activitymodifier (These are used in MDL v49 models, such as the ones in Dota 2.)
    • localhierarchy
    • noanimation
    • posecycle
  • Added the decompiling of these $CollisionModel and $CollisionJoints options in the QC file:
    • $jointcollide
  • QC commands are written in "CamelCase" form rather than in all lowercase.
  • FIX: Flex rules decompiled with 0.19 are not decompiling in 0.24.
  • FIX: Some text stored in compiled files are read in using incorrect encoding (i.e. sometimes trying to read in more than one byte per char).
  • FIX: Some $Sequence lines show "@name" instead of SMD file name.
  • FIX: Redundant $WeightList blocks are written to QC file.

=== Compile ===
  • Changed interface to look and act similarly to Decompile tab.
  • Several other interface changes.
  • Options for "definebones" that include writing the generated $DefineBone lines to a QCI file ready for compiling.
  • Added a "Use in View" button for automatically copying the selected MDL file name that was just compiled to the View tab for viewing.

=== View ===
  • New View tab for viewing some basic info about an MDL file without needing to decompile or compile.
  • "View" button for opening a custom model in HLMV.
  • "View as Replacement" button for opening a replacement model in HLMV, which requires special preparation that Crowbar does automatically.

[NOTABUG] TF2 model doesn't decompile.
I unpacked the reported model files with GCFScape 1.8.5 and decompiled with Crowbar 0.24 from the reported VPK file. I did not see any error message.

I have only ever seen that error show up from model files unpacked from Garry's Mod addons with some of the third-party GMA unpacking tools. It might also show up if someone incorrectly tries to change the byte after the IDST in the MDL file and ends up deleting some bytes in the file rather than simply replacing the byte. The MDL should *not* be modified for use with Crowbar.
Which model file name did you extract that gave you the error message?

I have seen people post about decompiling TF2 models without that error, so unless you give at least one example model file name that gives the error, the bug report is useless.

[DONE][REQ] Add option to restrict Crowbar to one instance.
From Funreal on 12-Jul-2015:
Adding the option to restrict it to one instance running at a time.

I for example decompile several models at once. since i assigned mdl files to crowbar, i can just doubleclick the model to dcompile it. But iverytime i do that, it open a new instance of crowbar, leaving me with several windows at once.

Re-compiling Spy Model (TF2)
This does not appear to be a bug with Crowbar. I used Crowbar 0.24 to decompile the TF2 spy.mdl and the QC shows this:
// This list shows the VMT files used in the SMD files. // "models\player\spy\spy_red.vmt" // "models\player\spy\spy_head_red.vmt" // "models\player\spy\eyeball_l.vmt" // "models\player\spy\eyeball_r.vmt" // "models\player\spy\mask_spy.vmt" // "spy_blue.vmt" // "spy_head_blue.vmt" // "spy_red_invun.vmt" // "spy_head_red_invun.vmt" // "eyeball_invun.vmt" // "\..\..\effects\invulnfx_red.vmt" // "spy_blue_invun.vmt" // "spy_head_blue_invun.vmt" // "\..\..\effects\invulnfx_blue.vmt" // "mask_scout.vmt" // "mask_sniper.vmt" // "mask_soldier.vmt" // "mask_demo.vmt" // "mask_medic.vmt" // "mask_heavy.vmt" // "mask_pyro.vmt" // "mask_engi.vmt" // "spy_red_zombie_alphatest.vmt" // "spy_head_red_zombie_alphatest.vmt" // "eyeball_zombie.vmt" // "spy_blue_zombie_alphatest.vmt" // "spy_head_blue_zombie_alphatest.vmt" // "spy_red_zombie_invun.vmt" // "spy_head_red_zombie_invun.vmt" // "spy_blue_zombie_invun.vmt" // "spy_head_blue_zombie_invun.vmt" // "models\player\spy\hwm\spy_head_red.vmt"

That list shows exactly 32 materials are used. Compiling from the decompiled files (with no changes) succeeds.

Possibly, the "eyeball_l_blue.vmt" and "eyeball_r_blue.vmt" in your QC is the problem. Neither file is used by the original.

EDIT: The $texturegroup list of materials does not affect the count of materials used. The count is of the different material file names listed in the mesh SMD files, which Crowbar helpfully lists in the comments I pasted from the QC file. The materials listed in $texturegroup refer to the ones in the SMD files.

[NOTABUG] Unnecessary / missing strings generated in $modelname, $cdmaterials and $texturegroup
I downloaded and decompiled the addon. I verified that the info that Crowbar wrote to the QC file is actually what was in the MDL file. There is no bug here.

[FIXED][BUG] Decompiler failed to parse expression
Fixed for next release.

[FIXED][BUG] Model not decomping, only outputting a not finished QC file
Bug confirmed. I do not know what causes the problem, but my current development version correctly decompiles the model.

EDIT: Well, Crowbar decompiles a mesh, but parts of the gun look out of place. :S
