where are your export files and what format (type) are you exporting (SMD or DMX)

Your $cd statement reads $CD "." which maybe confusing Studiomdl depending on where your animation exports actually are.

what does "."\v_shotgun_anims actually equate to and are the animation SMD/DMX files in that folder path?

This is why I always place my QCs in my export folder and do not use a $CD statement. the SMD/DMX files are relative to where the QC is.

Also you're not identifying the file type you're compiling (not sure if this makes a difference but I personally always add the file type extension (.smd or .dmx) to the filename being compiled. )

What I mean by this for this sequence

$sequence "sm_idle" {
activity "ACT_VM_IDLE"
"v_shotgun_anims\sm_idle"
fps 12
loop
}

My code would look like this

$sequence "sm_idle" {
activity "ACT_VM_IDLE"
"v_shotgun_anims\sm_idle.smd
or
"v_shotgun_anims\sm_idle.dmx"
// depending on the file type I'm exporting
fps 12
loop
}

This might be what Studiomdl is calling an incomplete statement because Line 34 is the call to the exported file... "v_shotgun_anims\sm_idle"

My calls to the exports in the $bodygroup statements would look like this

studio "hev_hands.smd"
or
studio "hev_hands.dmx"

(again depending on what format/type I'm exporting.)

Other than that I'm not seeing anything else out of the ordinary here.

and I just closed the QC... LOL

Let me load it up in a text editor again...

Sorry scratch my last suggestion, you have another missing Curly bracket starting on line 32 here ...

$sequence "sm_idle" <-HERE!!!
activity "ACT_VM_IDLE"
"v_shotgun_anims\sm_idle"
fps 12
loop
}

this should be

$sequence "sm_idle" {
activity "ACT_VM_IDLE"
"v_shotgun_anims\sm_idle"
fps 12
loop
}

Doh, Hold on... Let me re-read the QC.

Just add

$sequence "idle" "shotgun_renewed" fps 24

Like I said, Your missing an opening or closing bracket { } or quotation mark " " somewhere above the $cdMaterials command

Right here

$bodygroup "studio"
{
studio "shotgun_renewed"

$cdmaterials "models/b_shotgun"

Should be:

$bodygroup "studio"
{
studio "shotgun_renewed"
}

$cdmaterials "models/b_shotgun"

Your missing an opening or closing bracket { } or quotation mark " " somewhere above the $cdMaterials command

I have had instances on one computer where I tried to compile a model and it fails with this error because the path I was trying to compile to doesn't exist and for some reason or other Studiomdl isn't allowed to create it.

However, It would compile after I created the file path manually.

Go to the compile folder and manually create the path to the folder the model will live in according to the path in the $modelname statement and then try the compile again after the path exists.

(I'm not sure why this happens on that computer, I never really figured it out. I just create the file path manually and be done with it.)

Is "D:\Bode\Game Stuff\Platforms\Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\" really where your TF2 game is installed? (not in a folder path like D:\Program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common")

Quite possible that you were compiling either an old copy of the QC or and an export.
