Check for a missing quotaion mark or missing curly bracket in your QC... Bad Command errors are usually caused by this.

WOOHOO!!!

Nope, I see mine just fine, try loading a model, The Model field may have to be populated for the buttons to appear

My display is 1920x1080

I can't get to 1440x900, my screen res default to 1050 at 1400. But even still I can see the buttons even with the fields unpopulated.

Thanks Zeq, I've been in the chat a few times, but everyone seems to be busy...

As for the model that failed, I think I still have it in my dropbox at the link provided if you want to grab it... It's a multi-itemed model with bones for each item tied to a single bone.

@Mr. Macaw,

Thank you so much for this excellent tool.

I know you are diligently working on this and I really don't want to sound pushy or bug you about it, but I am wondering if there is a beta version of the tool floating around that actually extracts the SMDs from the ani files? I really don't care how messed up they are, I would just like to see how bad they are.

I am in the process of doing a tutorial on bringing models into blender (both obj and smd/dmx), rigging them (as required), weight painting them, adding flexes and simple animations, creating eyes, writing the qc, creating the materials then spitting out a functioning model for SFM with sequences direct from Blender using the Blender Source Tools. (Holy doodle, that's a lot of stuff!!) I will be including a video of Crowbar in action with the written tutorial, showing how to use, the logs produced and be linking to this group and the download site a reference points.

As a model is a just model in Blender, doesn't matter where it comes from and animations are saved as separate smd/dmx files when exported, I was hoping to demonstrate how one could adjust an existing animation and include the changes as a new sequence. Unfortunately, the current version (0.19) I have simply bypasses the ani files and reports not supported (yet!!), even though the smd references are spit out in the generated QC.

I've just started the section on Crowbar...

Kindest regards

Pte Jack

(oh, off note, any idea why 0.19 didn't decompile that model I posted about in the bug section where 0.12 did?)

Not sure if GMod or the older versions of games like HL1 still requires these dx80.vtx and sw vtx files, I think it's a good thing to keep them ??? Aren't just copies of the dx90.vtx anyway??

Zeq, have a problem here with 0.19 I'm trying to extract one of my models that has multple models embedded. 0.19 is reporting the models have been extracted and finishes normally, writes the qc but when checking for the dmx.smd and the model information in the qc, there is nothing there.


0.12 does the job perfectly.

Sorry for the long post... I've packed the mdl, vvd and vtx files into a zip and they are available here https://www.dropbox.com/s/5tn49hvhxa9g8h7/teaset.zip if you want to experiment. (may be something I've done)

Excellent Zeq... We really appreciate your efforts to fix these things...
On the side, can you leak if there will be a taste of animations in the next release?

I am an idiot when it comes to materials... Still learning. DOH!! I think that may be the prob. I think it needs to be // Cloaking. Thanks!! Sorry to "bug" you with my ignorance. lol

By the way, I'm loving your decompiler/compiler. I'm having some fun without the head aches. I'll be doing some SFM tutorials featuring it shortly, if you don't mind.

ZeqMacaw, FYI

Not sure if this is a Crowbar warning or a report back from studiomdl through Crowbar but...

When compiling a model from DMX with the new sheen textures. The Model does compile but with Material Warnings. I have 3 materials that use this type of vmt calling and I get the same warnings from them as well.
