Error compiling, "model has no sequences"

[Espinete87]

Hello guys, i have a error when compile, i dont know how to fix it :(

Im stuck building my map becouse i need to resize the doors, so lets see if you could give me a hand to fix this problem please.

"ERROR: model has no sequences
ERROR: Aborted Processing on 'props_c17/door01_izquierda.mdl'
Crowbar: Deleted empty temporary compile folder "D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\models\props_c17"
... Compiling ".\door01_left.qc" finished. Check above for any errors.
"

The thing is, im taking the .mdl file from a .vpk file throught gcfscape due the model is inside https://ibb.co/Gkd8Mg7
When i load i take hl2_misc_dir https://ibb.co/qMdcJf9 i dont know if this is correct.

Then i choose the door01_left.mdl from the list and i extract it. https://ibb.co/MkmSQ2d

Then i open it with Crowbar and decompile for get the QC. file, then i open it with notepadd++
and i add $scale 0.8 and change the door01_left.mdl for this one below
// Created by Crowbar 0.56

$scale 0.8

$modelname "props_c17/door01_izquierda.mdl"

I just want to rescale the model like i did before with a prop_dynamic.

Then when im going to compile it, i have the damn error!

Compiling with Crowbar 0.56: "D:\Juegos\Decompilador\Crowbar Decompilaciones\door\door01_left.qc" ...

Your .QC has no $sequence line.

Thanks for answer, but... how to fix it? why it doesnt have $sequence? is becouse i did something wrong? or is normal and i need to add something like "$sequence idle "myfirstmodel-ref.smd" but i dont know what im doing i copy and paste like a parrot xd
I found info but i dont know exactly what i need to do.
https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/$sequence
https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/QC_Commands#.24sequence_options

should i follow this tutorial?

Please a little bit more of help, i just want to do a door smaller :(

Of course. You could scale the door in Blender, but you'd still need a sequence. A typical sequence for a prop would look like:

$sequence "idle" {
"modelname_anims\idle.smd"
activity "ACT_VM_IDLE" 1
fadein 0.2
fadeout 0.2
fps 30
}

To get the anims data, follow step 1b of this guide:

Thanks but we are trying to create a sequence becouse the file didnt have a sequence, isnt it?
But it should have, becouse it is a door, a door that is working so...
In this picture i choose the door01_left.mdl from the list and i extract it https://ibb.co/MkmSQ2d
but should i put the rest of the files together? maybe the animations are there

Show me the .QC file of the decompiled door. We'll see if the door has a sequence, in there.

I already show you, it was just this xd

// Created by Crowbar 0.56

$modelname "props_c17/door01_izquierda.mdl"

I find this a little hard to believe. It couldn't have compiled without any sequences, at least from my knowledge. I'm not calling you a liar or anything, I just think perhaps there was some mishap somewhere. I'm gonna try and decompile the model myself, and I'll tell you what I find.

Okay thank you. I can pass you the file or something if you need ;)

Hey, sorry for the late reply. Yes, the extracted door does have a sequence. In fact, it has 4 sequences. Here's the .SMDs of the sequences shown, as well as the $sequence lines in the .QC:

Mmm i know what happened, when i decompile the .mdl it was alone in the folder, but after it i tried to put it with the rest of the door01_left files and it works! it came with the sequence, so i dont need to create animation etc. I can do what i need! Thanks! :D

The thing is, if the point 1B that you told me, the point is to create a sequence/anim file, which is .smd , why it get the $sequence data from the other files around when i decompile like .vtx .phy .vvd

I'm not quite sure what you mean about the latter part. From GCFSape, I exported the .mdl, .vtx (90, 80, sw), and vvd to a folder. There, I decompiled the .mdl file in Crowbar, and that gave me the anims .smd files.

Yes you exported the .mdl .vtx etc all files, i just imported the .mdl... i didnt know that it needs the other >.<
Noobs problems, but thank you very much much, i can continue now with the map ;)

I show it in this video, https://youtu.be/7R8r6wsRDlA

Aye, glad it was an easy fix!

I've been having this issue too, but the portal_door_combined model doesn't have any sequences to begin with. I'm trying to make a custom door, rename it portal_door_combined_HD, but it's coming back with this issue.
