I'm using windows 7 and I have my models and materials all setup in the right folders, VMT, VTF, SMD etc etc. But when i drop the .qc onto studiomdl nothing happens.
If i try to compile it through GUIstudiomdl I get this:
- Code: Select all
Loaded QC file - "C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\athl33t\half-life 2\hl2\models\cubicle\cubicle_1.qc"
Created command line: "C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\athl33t\sourcesdk\bin\orangebox\bin\studiomdl.exe" -game "c:\program files\steam\steamapps\athl33t\half-life 2\hl2" -nop4 -nox360 "C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\athl33t\half-life 2\hl2\models\cubicle\cubicle_1.qc"
SteamStartup() failed: SteamStartup(0xf,0x0012FB3C) failed with error 1: failed to take master pipe connection lock
Now I know from experience it's normally something retarded which I've done. But I can't find what's going on. Google searches turn up nothing and this pipeline problem has been plaguing me since I switched to windows 7.
The only answer I could get for that was "restart steam" or "restart system" but that never works. Anyway that's a problem with launching some of my games not with compiling my models.
Any help?
edit
I restarted steam in admin and rand GUIstudiomdl in admin.
now I get
- Code: Select all
SteamStartup() failed: SteamStartup(0xf,0x0012FB3C) failed with error 1: Failed create pipe: 6, Win32 Error 6 "The handle is invalid."
