This is a Gmod Model which are well known for glitches like this and the QC may not have been properly configured (materials\materials) when the model was compiled.

The QC probably had a line like
$cdmaterials "materials\models\materials\models\hevsuit"
instead of
$cdmaterials "models\hevsuit"

However, I have not checked the new version of Crowbar yet so it could be a bug (but very unlikely).

Hey Zeq, long time no talk. I'm posting this here because I know you actively monitor bug reports and I keep missing you when you're online to ask directly.

I've finally got my new rig built (with a RTX3090) and configured and before I start pumping out new videos, I thought I'd ask if you're planning to release a new version of Crowbar in the foreseeable future?
If yes, would DM me with your expected release date or
if not, let me know that I'm good to go with new videos.

Thanks
PteJack

Now I understand where you're coming from and yes, I agree it could be a useful feature when doing a mass compiles or decompiles.
Being able to pause the process (after pressing pause and the current model completes) would allow for bathroom/coffee breaks (LOL) during the process so you don't miss errors if they occur while you're away (or make decisions on whether to continue or skip the next model) might be useful.

Personally, I just let Crowbar do its job and delete the folders I don't require after the process finishes. But that can take a lot of time depending on the number of models being worked on.

Doh, My bad, sorry Max, it was late when I scanned the topic....

Problem with that kind of request is that Crowbar is just a handler, it passes information to StudioMDL which is a separate process.
I don't believe that there is a pause function in StudioMDL. Once the process starts, you either let it complete or send a kill command to stop it and move on. (Could be wrong here, I haven't checked).

Yeah, No Pause function:

usage: studiomdl [options] <file.qc>
options:
[-a <normal_blend_angle>]
[-checklengths]
[-d] - dump glview files
[-definebones]
[-f] - flip all triangles
[-fullcollide] - don't truncate really big collisionmodels
[-game <gamedir>]
[-h] - dump hboxes
[-i] - ignore warnings
[-minlod <lod>] - truncate to highest detail <lod>
[-n] - tag bad normals
[-perf] report perf info upon compiling model
[-printbones]
[-printgraph]
[-quiet] - operate silently
[-r] - tag reversed
[-t <texture>]
[-x360] - generate xbox360 output
[-nox360] - disable xbox360 output(default)
[-fastbuild] - write a single vertex windings file
[-nowarnings] - disable warnings
[-dumpmaterials] - dump out material names
[-mdlreport] model.mdl - report perf info
[-mdlreportspreadsheet] - report perf info as a comma-delimited spreadsheet
[-striplods] - use only lod0
[-overridedefinebones] - equivalent to specifying $unlockdefinebones in .qc file
[-stripmodel] - process binary model files and strip extra lod data
[-stripvhv] - strip hardware verts to match the stripped model
[-vsi] - generate stripping information .vsi file - can be used on .mdl files too
[-allowdebug]
[-ihvtest]
[-overridedefinebones]
[-verbose]
[-makefile]
[-verify]
[-fastbuild]
[-maxwarnings]
[-preview]
[-dumpmaterials]
[-basedir]
[-tempcontent]
[-nop4]

What version of Crowbar are you using because I don't see a Pause button on the Compile/Decompile screen in 0.71 (the most recent)?
I do see Skip Current Model button which does just that, stops the compile/decompile and moves on to the next model or stops the process and bails if there isn't one.

So you're good to go then, Glad I could help.

Oh for Gall Sakes... Try this... I added a 1 to the end of the Act_ commands.
like activity "ACT_VM_PRIMARYATTACK" 1 <-- I added the 1

Which model did you decompile and what game are you compiling for? I need to see the sequences it produces in the QC when it decompiles.

Looking at the Activities list, here, https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Activity_List

There are different act_vm_idle commands for the different games. Depending on the game studiomdl you're using that might be the problem. The command is not complete for the game you're compiling for.

I'm suspecting that that QC might error out on the Start_reload sequence, there isn't an ACTIVITY statement in that sequence and I'm not sure if that is required here.

Try this....

//QC Test
//Place this QC in your Exports folder
//make sure the animation SMDs are in
//the <export folder>\v_shotgun_anims folder
