i cannot compile p_models after I decompile them
it keeps saying the reference is missing, but its right there,
the exact same file/filename

(i use milkshape)

in the qc, take out the .smd extension where it calls the reference smd

make it "reference" instead of "reference.smd"

Another possibility is that it's pointing to a directory that doesn't exist. Make sure there isn't any directory in front of the smd name

i decompile it with ms3d
then, without doing anything else, i compile it with ms3d

it says:

/\ p_spring_l_ref.smd doesn't exist.

its right there!!!

DING... DING... DING... there's your problem... Use Studiomdl.exe to compile...


...

studiomdl.exe gives the same error

<shrug>

Don't know then... JAJA and Trigger had good points...


...

Is this for all p_models or just the one your working on.

Decompile with the normal MilkShape Decompiler, not Kratisto's.

Show us your qc, jsut paste the text here.

it happens with EVERY p_model.




$modelname "F:\p_colt.mdl"
$cd "\"
$cdtexture "\"
$cliptotextures

$scale 1.0

// 2 attachments
$attachment 0 "p_colt" 0.000000 -8.100000 3.000000
$attachment 1 "p_colt" 0.000000 -2.000000 3.700000

// 0 bone controllers

// 1 hit boxes
$hbox 0 "p_colt" -0.770000 -7.900000 -2.120000 0.660000 1.920000 3.740000

$bodygroup studio
{
studio "p_colt_ref"
}

// 2 sequences
$sequence p_colt_idle "p_colt_idle" fps 1
$sequence p_colt_shoot "p_colt_shoot" fps 100 { event 5001 0 "31" } { event 6001 0 "0" }





the error milkshape gives:

************ ERROR ************
\/p_colt_ref.smd doesn't exist

Try doing it this way and let me know if you get the same error.



All i do is make a new folder and put the compiler and decompiler in that folder along with the model i wish to decompile. Then all i do is drag and drop the mdl file onto the mdldec.exe and it all decompiles fine, then when i wont to compile it again i change these lines in the qc file.

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

to the path of my folder where the model is, so it might look like this.

$modelname "C:\Documents and Settings\Desktop\axis-inf\axis-inf.mdl"
$cd "C:\Documents and Settings\Desktop\axis-inf\"
$cdtexture "C:\Documents and Settings\Desktop\axis-inf\"
$scale 1.0

Then once thats done i just drag and drop the qc file onto the studiomdl.exe, and it compiles agian.

Or change this line in your qc file

$modelname "F:\p_colt.mdl"

to

$modelname "p_colt.mdl"

and try compiling from milkshape again.
