Hello.

Recently i recieved a request to remake alien swarm parasite model to ragdoll.

Results... Model not compiling.

qc file: And compile log (very short one): HALP ME!

PS: Look down.

Nothing more??

I can´t see anything strange in the .qc file. Try deleting the "phymodel" line.

Also, check if is correct the SMD file.

Again the same thing (it seems that GUIstudioMDL doesn't like me).

I had to remake the whole bone structure in the model because valve messed the original one up. (maybe because it wasn't supposed to be ragdolled)

Or maybe because it comes from Alien Swarm, an "advanced" game like L4D2 and Portal 2. For example, people have problems with the models of Portal 2, because sometimes it are too poly for the compilers (more of 30000), or because didnt get decompiled properly.


Honestly, i dont have idea. You dont have even a warning error. Is possible that in fact is working and you have to left it work (i have to wait near of 10 minutes when i was compilating a model, no idea why it took many time)?

I sometimes can't compile models, get the same 'error' as you - Created command line: , nothing more. It happens sometimes, when you don't launch Source SDK before compiling. If you tried compiling with Source SDK launched and still same, I don't have idea why you can't compile it.

Somebody already made it - http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=120229

This model has been ported by someone else and that person wanted me to ragdoll it so i tried.

Ok now there is a new problem: I'm trying to convert a few models from UT2k4 to source (that would be a bulldog jeep and repair vessel from AS-Convoy) Unfortunatly I am a begginer in modelling and i have some problems with reassigning textures to the models.

So if anyone can help me (possibly do this part instead of me ) reply. (I can send you a .max model and textures in tga or anything else)

You got it now in Max, or you are trying to extract from it? Me and Xeno found a way to do this (Felina model, i miss you too much D: ).

Yep i have exported them from UT (repair vessel is in one part (originally it was divided into 7 parts) and the bulldog is a single mesh)

You got the textures? have you tried the "pick from model/scene" option to see all the assigments?

As I said : I am a beginner in modelling world.

That doesnt help me, because i too.




Press "m" to deploy the Material menu, push that button and select the model. It will appear a lot of textures a bit down. Go inside one to one and change their rutes to the correct.

If i remember right (cause i cant access the computer with max now) all of the materials that the model uses are not assigned to it (to export it you have to place it in the map and then export the map itself as an .obj file, without material assignment)

You know what? Send me the model and the texture, i´ll take photos and i´ll back to you. It will more faster.

I got your model. Their UV maps are broken (it displays directly the entire texture in the wheels and lights). I´ll work to fix it.
