Tutorial: Porting GoldSource models to Source Engine using Crowbar for Dummies and Newbies.

[loKkdoKk]

Beginning:

1) Select .MDL file or Folder with models. (I'm select this model %My_path_to_steam_folder%\Steam\steamapps\common\Half-Life\czero\models\props\antenna_artic.mdl

2) Select Output folder for decompiled model. (i'm select this path E:\csczds).

3) Select Crowbar option named "Texture BMP Files (GoldSource)".

4) Click the Decompile button.

Using Notepad++ to Fixing .qc and .smd files

3) Open Nonepad++.

3a) Open .qc file with .smd file .

3b) Replase $Flags 0 to $cdmaterials "models/%your_texture_folder%/" .

3c) Replace in .qc and .smd texture values - .bmp to .vtf .

You can't use img tags in forum posts. You'll have to use url tags and link to your Steam Artwork section.

This is my Artwork section where I store images I have used in other posts:

With me, the Model View program is crash. I have no idea why. And the model in the game is invisible.
I edited g man player model and I use file QC with gman MDL. I made a correction in the QC file and added new item names. Did not work. Do you have idea why??

change .bmp to .vtf

[Telarian]

not work :(

[loKkdoKk]

try change it on .qc and .smd files. i think you have .bmp on smd, and this make a troubles

[Telarian]

did not work. I have no idea why :(

[loKkdoKk]

i dint see in your .qc file dat step

3b) Replase $Flags 0 to $cdmaterials "models/%your_texture_folder%/" .

[Telarian]

I added to this command

I think this bug is on the crowbar side. Because I made addon to left4dead2 and I have the same problem

[M.F.O - Off]

How do you port model T.mdl eg urbanT.mdl

[loKkdoKk]

Originally posted by opposing force militar:

T.mdl contains textures i think. just try recompile it without T.mdl

[ZeqMacaw]

The urbanT.mdl stores the textures for the related urban.mdl model.

Crowbar will automatically extract the BMP files from the urbanT.mdl when the related urban.mdl file is decompiled.

Because the models I ported from sven coop it works in gmod it functions correctly but when I use model viewer it gets no texture?

I tried to compile the model urban.qc which is from czds urban.mdl which also had T.mdl and gave this error in crowbar
