Compiling only gives me a 2kb .mdl file and nothing else

help when i compile crowbar gives me a 2 kilobyte .mdl file and nothing else.

here's the log:

I don't know what im doing wrong and im struggling to troubleshoot.

I am not sure what causes this, but I will take a guess.

This line in the log might mean there are model files already in the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\models/riddler" folder:

Loading preexisting model: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\models/riddler\Body.mdl

Thus, maybe delete those model files before compiling to have it re-build all of the model's files.

that didnt fix the issue. would it maybe be because my qc is quite simple?

Not sure what is going wrong.

Would you zip up the QC and SMD files and upload them somewhere so I can debug them? I am curious why this happens.

CAUSE: Multiple $modelname commands and no $model, $body, or $bodygroup commands.
