I have fixed this issue for next release. When I made changes to Crowbar's code, I did not finish the changes for MDL version 44 models. Sorry about that. :S

I'll be releasing within the week.

This was fixed with Crowbar 0.30.

This was fixed with Crowbar 0.27.

I have fixed this bug for next release. For now, you can decompile the model with Crowbar 0.29.

I have discovered that the "taunt_pyro_pool" taunt is not in "models/player/pyro_animations.mdl", but is instead in "models\workshop\player\animations\pyro_workshop_animations.mdl". Thus, this is not a Crowbar bug (at least with the current TF2 files).

This bug was fixed with version 0.27.

This bug was fixed many versions ago. However, there are still bugs remaining with decompiling animations. I am still researching how to get them completely decompiled correctly.

As I explained in the Blender Source Tools forum topic about the same issue, this is not technically a Crowbar bug; it's simply not what many people expect the source files to have looked like.

I agree that the materials are handled better the way you describe, using $CDMaterials for folders instead of using the folders in the SMD files, so I will be changing Crowbar to write the material file names the better way. As I stated in the other topic, I had taken it out due to other issues, but I will find some way to resolve them.

Changelog:

=== General ===

• Built using .NET Framework 4.5.1 to access additional features.

=== Decompile ===

• Can decompile version 6 (GoldSource - Half-Life alpha) models.
  
• Can decompile version 10 (GoldSource - Half-Life) models.
  
• Can decompile parts of version 2531 (Source - Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines) models. Decompile includes meshes and bone animations, but not vertex animations.
  
• Added "Texture BMP files (GoldSource)" option because BMP textures can be stored in MDL file for GoldSource model versions 06 and 10.
  
• Inserted "Each $texturegroup skin-family on single line" option for arranging QC $texturegroup where each skin-family is on a single line, like the following:
  
  $texturegroup "accessory" { { "shoe_0.vmt" "back_0.vmt" "glove_0.vmt" } { "shoe_1.vmt" "back_1.vmt" "glove__1.vmt" } }
• Improved the log text. Log also now shows the model version that is detected.
  
• Changed file names of the log and decompile-info files to be more consistent with each other and thus easier to locate.
  
• FIX: Animation SMD files from ANI files are not written correctly (since version 0.25).
  
• FIX: When no $animation is found and a $sequence uses the "subtract" option, Crowbar does not finish writing the QC file, as experienced with Insurgency's "insurgency_models_dir\models\weapons\v_ak74.mdl" model.
  
• FIX: Decompiling heroes from Dota 2 (Source model), Crowbar fails to write all QC $sequence lines and does not write the ending brace for the last one it does write. (Crowbar tried to write localhierarchy option, but did not handle an empty parent parameter properly.)

=== View ===

• Added "Open Viewer" button to open model viewer without loading a model into it.

The original QC text is not stored, so I have Crowbar format the lines that seems best overall for readability. Some will disagree, but I can't please everyone.
