I have a question.

[l4d2]

Professional work! Thanks!

[l4d2]

Oh! Can anyone tell me, how to convert the effects to the props? I would try to do it yourself.

[: D]

Add physfiles... I think.

You must decompile the models and recompile them with physics information. Once the model is decompiled, all you really need to do is add some stuff to the *.qc file in most cases. If you'd like more help with this, just let me know.

Hi again. I have a problem with converting. Can you, therefore convert it? These are the handles from CSS.
In which programs can I decompile a model? And what I need to add to the file *.qc?

[PLing]

Get cannonfodder's decompiler.

[l4d2]

And what next?

I made my account in july 2011 and i dont make that mistake

[l4d2]

Oh Get lost with that post! I'm waiting for any advice. I downloaded Decompiler some days ago. I have another problem. Let's see on this blanket which BabyFawnLegs converted. Gmod says that this file is in : models/props_unique/spawn_apartment/blanket03.mdl.

I always going to models folder and there I don't have folder 'props_unique'. So where I can find this? Call me retarded or something you like, but tell me where I should looking for models. Then how can I decompile model using Cannonfodder Studio Compiler? And what I must to add to file?

[l4d2]

Bump. Tell me someone, please.

[Deunan]

most likely in the vpk's l4d uses.

[l4d2]

How can I open this file? Tell me everything if You can. I'm gonna finally do this, but I don't know nothing about it.

[l4d2]

Damn, can someone make a tutorial of that?

[Deunan]

GCFscape should be able to open VPK's

[l4d2]

Yeah, that program can open VPK's. I opened L4D2 files. There are pak files. How do I know in which file there is this blanket? What I must to add to *qc file. Please tell me. It's time to finish this.

[QUOTE=BabyFawnLegs;27861356]Not a problem!

I wasn't sure if you'd rather have a blanket or a rug, so I just made one that works as both. It's a little basic (9 segments), but you can still have a lot of fun with it.

Happy snuggling! [img]http://forums.civfanatics.com/images/smilies/wavey.gif[/img][/QUOTE]
May I ask where to get the model of this girl?

[Exorade]

Any of the Silent Hill packs.

Anyone still have that rug model?

[l4d2]

Sorry bro, link expired. BabyFawnLegs is offline since December -SHAME-

[l4d2]

Bump.

[l4d2]

Bumping again. How Can I see what is in vpk pack using GCFScape? For example that green blanket. &

I think you are asking about how to see the l4d2 content. IN common->left4dead2->left4dead2

Then open the bottom 1 with dir at the end of it. There is 1 in ead of the expansion folders there aswell.

For the effects in gmod, that is a prop with no collision model. You you will want to decompile the prop then tell it to use the ref.smd as a collision model. This means the new prop which you compile will have a collision model the same as the model itself. it is "shrink wrapped" so concave areas are not part of the collision mesh. I hope you understand this.

tl;dr effect to prop
decompile effect, add collision model to qc, recompile.

[l4d2]

Thanks Man. I'm sorry that I answer so late. I didn't had much time lastly. Well: I extracted all game files using GCFScape (thanks to You). I decompiled it using Studio Compiler, and what should I do next?
[url]http://www27.zippyshare.com/v/77795258/file.html[/url] I have this window. What should I mark to compile that files again? And, the model which I decompiled was towel_rack form props Interiors. After decompiling I got 3 files: idle.smd , mdldecomplier.qc , towel_rack.smd. In which bracket should I bowse it?

[l4d2]

~BUMP~ I wanna finish this :D

[Fulcrum]

Ok open the qc file. Something like

[QUOTE]$cd "C:\Users\User\Desktop\out\foliage\junipers"
$modelname "ful\foliage\juniper001a.mdl"
$model "Body" "juniper001a.smd"
$cdmaterials "ful\models\"
$surfaceprop "dirt"
$illumposition -0.585 1.904 17.328
$sequence idle "idle1" act_idle -1 fps 0.1
$lod 175
{
replacemodel "juniper001a.smd" "juniper001a_LOD1.smd"
}
$lod 225
{
replacemodel "juniper001a.smd" "juniper001a_LOD2.smd"
}
$lod 600
{
replacemodel "juniper001a.smd" "juniper001a_LOD3.smd"
}
[/QUOTE]

Now add the line to the qc file
$collisionmodel "juniper001a.smd"

This will "shrinkwrap" a collision mesh to your model. Any holes or concave sections will also be "solid"

For a more expensive collision mesh (but 1 which you can shoot thru holes) use
$collisionmodel "rockledge2.smd" { $concave }

You can also make custom collision models, do this if you want to make a simplier collision mesh for better performance or a more complex 1. Save the new collision mesh as smd and add this line to the qc
$collisionmodel "juniper001a_collision.smd"

Recompile the qc file, and you should have your model

[l4d2]

Okay, thanks. I'll try do it.
I edited the qc file just like You told me (of course with the name of prop which I used - towel_rack). What should I type ine these brackets? I cannot compile model.
