Ok, first of all, does anyone have the link to the NEWEST compiler? im not sure i have it or not...but....I saw somewhere that i can just drag the QC file over the studiomdl, and it should compile...didnt work, someone said to make a bat file...last part of that tutorial went off, and didnt tell me much, still didnt work....can anyone please tell me a SUREFIRE way to compile something?

gives me this error when i went into command and tried to compile



\compile\/..\german\infantry\sniper_body.smd doesn't exist

Your problem is simple enough to fix. At the top of the qc file, you'll see something like this:

$modelname "us-inf.mdl"
$cd ".\"
$cdtexture ".\"
$scale 1.0

Make sure that they look like that, delete any paths after the $cd and $cdtexture lines and that should fix the error you're experiencing.
