Compiler Error

[StefanC19]

Hey,

So what am I trying ?
I've decompiled a model from Day Of Defeat and applied a custom animation to it. The original model has no animations, its the mill_water_wheel model and I gave it a simple 98 frame 360 degree rotation. I've got all the files in order, and placed in the correct folders but when I compile in GUIStudioMDL I'm getting an error, Also I am trying to recompile it back in to episode 2 instead of DOD:

Code: Select all

ERROR: cannot find bone static_prop for bbox
ERROR: Aborted Processing on 'props_stefanc\mill_water_wheel_extra.mdl'

I'm betting my money on something small or simple to fix but personally I don't know what

Here is the full log of the compiler:

Code: Select all

Now to insure nothing is overlooked and that you guys have all the information I can provide here is where I placed all the files and what the names of the files are and the .qc code:

Material and Texture :
half-life 2 episode two\ep2\materials\models\props_stefanc
- mill_water_wheel.vmt
- mill_water_wheel.vtf

.vmt code:

Code: Select all

"VertexLitGeneric"
{
   "$baseTexture" "models\props_stefanc/mill_water_wheel"
   "$envmap" "env_cubemap"
   "$basealphaenvmapmask" 1
}

Model files:
sourcesdk_content\ep2\modelsrc\models\props_stefanc
- mill_water_wheel.qc
- mill_water_wheel.smd
- mill_water_wheel_idle.smd
- mill_water_wheel_360cw.smd
- mill_water_wheel_phys.smd

Model files are to be compiled to:
half-life 2 episode two\ep2\models\props_stefanc

The .qc:

Code: Select all

$modelname "props_stefanc\mill_water_wheel_extra.mdl"
$model "Body" "mill_water_wheel.smd"
$cdmaterials "models\props_normandy\"
$hboxset "default"
$hbox 0 "static_prop" -134.511  -63.100  -93.032  130.746  60.554  172.225
// Model uses material "mill_water_wheel.vmt"
$surfaceprop "wood"
$illumposition -1.883 -1.273 39.597
$sequence idle "mill_water_wheel_idle" act_idle 1 fps 30.00
$sequence rota "mill_water_wheel_360cw" act_rota 1 fps 30.00
$collisionmodel "mill_water_wheel_phys.smd" {

   $concave
   $mass 1.0
   $inertia 1.00
   $damping 0.00
   $rotdamping 0.00
}

The material vmt code and .qc code is from decompiling and is not made by myself, I only modified the naming and added my own animation sequence. Also in the .vmt code you can see brackets are used like this \/ this is how it came when decompiling so I assume that is correct. I bet 90% of this post contains information that was not needed in order to fix this problem

oh, ignore this post ... I now used that wall worm tool and it all works perfectly

[Z-O-M-B-I-E]

Code: Select all

$hbox 0 "static_prop" -134.511  -63.100  -93.032  130.746  60.554  172.225

And add:

Code: Select all

$staticprop

For static models.

Code: Select all
