Need Help Decompiling Skins For CS:S

[guned]

I wanted to learn how to remove the sleeves from a weapon skin...And i heard that the only way to do it is to decompile it and then do something to "$nodraw 1".So i have my Source SDK and mdledecompiler.But the tutorials from the other websites are just too complicated for me.Please can anyone explain to me in details on how to remove the sleeves from a weapon skin?

You don't need to decompile a skin to use the no_draw function. Just open the .VMT for the sleeves, and add in the following:

"VertexLitGeneric"
{
"$no_draw" "1"
-other crap that's supposed to go after the "no_draw" function-
}

You can open the .VMT with either Notepad or VTFEdit.
