Does that mean .dmx decompilation, or just a different .qc or something?

It means more info in the qc file. DMX will have to wait.

Hello, I believe I found a bug when decompiling tf2 Hardware Morphs (hwm) models. Im trying to get the flex file from the hwm Demoman to use with a Demoman model of mine (the exact same model,but with 2 eyes). But the facial flexes come out all messed up and deformed. I've tried multiple models with hwm flexes and they all come out wrong.

I have tested Crowbar with the demoman HWM model and discovered that Crowbar does not handle many of the flex rule operations. This will be corrected in the next release.

I can't find "decompile" button...
https://www.flickr.com/photos/122871241@N02/13755237565/ (full screen)

I use Windows7 ultimate 64bit(resolution 1440 x 900). Is this problem just me? T - T

+ Crowbar 0.12 version does work well.

Corrected for next release.

Problem seems to be a bug in Windows or .NET Framework where widgets inside a UserControl do not apply their Anchor property correctly when Windows "Display" is using text size other than the default. (Article that describes and shows the problem: http://blog.davidegrayson.com/2013/04/unusable-ui-caused-by-windows-forms.html)

Hi.
I have a problem with importing smd animation from Dota2 model to 3ds max. Some bones are located in the wrong place: sword, legs, arms...

I have double-checked my own Dota 2 files of the same model you uploaded, and I get the same odd-looking animations. I will have to research this to find the cause of the problem.

Thank you for reporting the issue.

:)

You can get the latest dev version of Crowbar by requesting it in the group chat. According to my latest group announcement, I have a dev version that gets some ANI file data from some model versions.

I'll report the bug with 0.19 failing to decompile model even though 0.12 did, when I figure it out.

I don't know if this is a known bug or not. If it is can someone tell me how to fix it. I am making a new l4d2 melee weapon and when I decompile the katana viewmodel and import it into blender, I see this model[s7.postimg.org]. I know that the melee weapon is supposed to face forward and rotated up but it's not. I also need to figure out the specific location it needs to be moved and rotated too.

That's just the reference mesh and looks fine. The position of the reference mesh itself (as in your linked image) is not used in-game. The animations are the only poses seen in-game.

I think that when you compile models, crowbar shouldn't create .sw.vtx files beacuse the proved themsleves usless.

Crowbar does not do the actual compiling; it simply calls Valve's studiomdl.exe for whatever game or tool you have selected in Crowbar.
