Thanks ZeqMacaw... Fantastic work so far. I've been trying to decompile these HWM models since they came out. Just being able to break them down is simply amazing. I wish I could help further but not knowing what they are or how these advanced flexes work, all I can do is report what I find.

I'm trying to fix the messed up textures in the Medic's shirt and hands component of the tf_movies HWM Medic but I'm having a problem try to recompile from the Crowbar Generated qc file after making the changes that are required to the uvMaps.

These are some of the errors that Crowbar and a direct compile using a Studiomdl.bat qc drop give me...


Compiling...

WARNING: Environment Variable VMOD usermod and -game C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SourceFilmmaker\game\USERMOD do not end with the same value (<--- I have no idea what this means or how to fix it)

(But this is my main concern)
--------
ERROR: c:\users\brad\desktop\medichwm\medic.qc(655): - Rule for unknown flex ZipLip00L
---------
ERROR: Aborted Processing on 'player/hwm/medic.mdl'
...Compile ended. Check above for any errors.

When I look at the Crowbar generated qc this is what I find


Line 655: %ZipLip00L = 62
Line 656: %ZipLip00R = 62
Line 657: %ZipLip25L = 62
Line 658: %ZipLip25R = 62
Line 659: %ZipLip50L = 62
Line 660: %ZipLip50R = 62
Line 661: %ZipLip75L = 62
Line 662: %ZipLip75R = 62
Line 663: %ZipLip100L = 62
Line 664: %ZipLip100R = 62
Line 665: %OpenLips_ZipLip00L = 62
Line 666: %OpenLips_ZipLip00R = 62
Line 667: %OpenLips_ZipLip100L = 62
Line 668: %OpenLips_ZipLip100R = 62
Line 669: %OpenLips_ZipLip75L = 62
Line 670: %OpenLips_ZipLip75R = 62
Line 671: %OpenLips_ZipLip50L = 62
Line 672: %OpenLips_ZipLip50R = 62
Line 673: %OpenLips_ZipLip25L = 62
Line 674: %OpenLips_ZipLip25R = 62
Line 675: %OpenUpperLip_ZipLip00L = 62
Line 676: %OpenUpperLip_ZipLip00R = 62
Line 677: %OpenUpperLip_ZipLip100L = 62
Line 678: %OpenUpperLip_ZipLip100R = 62
Line 679: %OpenUpperLip_ZipLip75L = 62
Line 680: %OpenUpperLip_ZipLip75R = 62
Line 681: %OpenUpperLip_ZipLip50L = 62
Line 682: %OpenUpperLip_ZipLip50R = 62
Line 683: %OpenUpperLip_ZipLip25L = 62
Line 684: %OpenUpperLip_ZipLip25R = 62

I know that these are blendkeys and I assume that Crowbar is trying to assign a value, but doesn't know what to assign, therefore inputs 62

I'm also finding a lot of this

%InflateCheekL = 33
%InflateCheekR = 33

Again, I assume Crowbar is not that far advanced and doesn't know what belongs here and inserts 33 ???

and quite a bit of this

// [Empty flex rule found and ignored.]

All I can say is this is a flicking amazing program, and I understand that it is still under development... I'm just hoping that someone can point me in the right direction to learn how to fix these situations, so I can edit the qc and get this model put back together properly. I'm new to the HWM environment.

I hope my post helps with the further development of this marvelous tool.
