Would be cool if you could set the "Engine Path" in the Add-on settings and dont have to set it every time

need help with the "error could not execute studiomdl" issue

r0b0ticg0a1ie 21 Aug, 2024 @ 7:22pm

Need some help, getting .py errors when I try to export. Have not been able to find a tutorial/instructions for exporting a model to sfm. On blender version 4.1.1.

I think I am having trouble importing a character model I made into SFM and as a PM + NPC for GMod, yes it does have 18-19 bodygroups and has a lot of shape keys.

@talesyoung Blender Source Tools can export it's model into a format that any source 1 game can recognize. After that, it's the game's executable that "imports" it into the game. You basically go Blender > SMD (Blender Source Tools) > Game Asset (studiomdl,exe).

KO'RGAN 2 Jun, 2024 @ 6:14am

help me the export thing is just a bar its completely empty

talesyoung 19 May, 2024 @ 8:28am

EatThatPie 16 Nov, 2022 @ 12:34pm

I tried to rejoin the group to update my discussion post but; I fixed my problem, the issue was the body segments on my physics model werent 100% red apparently, I missed a few spots. After this it worked perfectly. Thanks for trying to help regardless Artfunkel; that discussion post can be solved or closed or whatever

Ben Sneed 12 Sep, 2022 @ 3:03am

Can I make a discussion? I am having an issue with importing that might require some back and forth

Artfunkel

18 Jul, 2022 @ 12:50pm

I have no idea what you mean. Please try again to make a discussion and describe your idea in more detail.

aversion 17 Jul, 2022 @ 10:26am

That too with whatever actions you have defined on your model already taking priority.

aversion 17 Jul, 2022 @ 10:25am

I wanted to try and add a discussion topic but it won’t let me. So I ask this.
Would it be possible to automate the “Proportion Trick” with Blender Source Tools in the future? Such that you’d import a .mdl to use its animation set, and make Blender export your model with all the existing animations angle changes only to your model’s skeleton. Or supply a folder of decompiled smd’s from that .mdl include.

Garry's Mod will be recognised as an engine branch in the next release. Until then, just leave that field blank.

lucia 18 Jun, 2022 @ 8:20pm

Jem, same dude, i've been trying for 1 day searching for an answer, but couldn't find anything. Maybe try unistalling gmod?

Jem 15 Jun, 2022 @ 10:53am

I cannot export as smd because the engine path of Garry's Mod is an error and doesn't detect it. I've already tried changing blender versions and still nothing. I can confirm I have the "studiomdl.exe" so why is this issue happening???

ATOM-97 10 Jun, 2022 @ 5:49am

does anyone know how to Import the MDL models PLZ

Acclipse 20 Apr, 2022 @ 4:53am

I am getting this error in the console when trying to compile a qc

rainstrom 20 Feb, 2022 @ 6:18am

can you add the feature to export the qc and not just the smds

Se7en:0Nin9 7 Sep, 2021 @ 10:06pm

I'm having trouble with exporting a cosmetic I've created for TF2. It seems to export fine, however when I try to preview my item a page shows up saying the build has failed, and at the end of a long list it says:

ERROR: unknown attachment link 'bip_head'
ERROR: Aborted Processing on 'workshop/player/items/medic/item_preview/item_preview.mdl'
CTargetMDL::Compile Failed - c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\team fortress 2\tf\models\workshop\player\items\medic\item_preview\item_preview.mdl
WARNING: CTargetZIP::Compile - Target 1 Compile Failed

Other people have seemed to run into this same problem but I don't know if anyone has figured it out yet. Does anyone else know what this means?

Asome3333e1 3 Aug, 2021 @ 8:17pm

can someone tell me why everytime i try to export my model to either DMX or SMD, it says

"WARNING: 1042 verts on "*body part name*" have over 3 weight links. Source does not support this!"

the model is ported from BO:CW if it is of any help.
