Hl2 modding - Games - Facepunch Forum

Hello I'm trying to make an hl2 mod, and I need some help from the facepunch community. I opened source sdk, and I selected source engine 2007, after that I selected create a mod -> Modify hl2 sp, and i gave it a name and a directory. Now the problem: because this is my first mod, my goal is to make a mod that only changes the npc animations and sounds, but how do I do that? I have 2 folders: -one located on my sourcemods folder [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/HMGMQ73.png[/IMG] -and other on my steam folder: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/iR2n7Aw.png[/IMG] Where are the animation files and how do I change/edit them?

Open the hl2_pak_dir.vpk in [URL="http://nemesis.thewavelength.net/files/files/gcfscape185.exe"]GCFscape[/URL] and navigate to root\models\ where you can find all the files you need. You can edit them by decompiling the .mdl files with [URL="https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bz8zS9qTrqHWak1QX25GMFJNVlk/edit"]Crowbar decompiler[/URL]. Then you can open the files by using Blender with the [URL="https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Blender_Source_Tools"]Blender Source tools[/URL], edit them and export and compile with the same tools and finally put them into the models folder in your mods folder under \sourcemods.

You don't have to make a full mod for HL2 just to replace the NPC animations, lol. Simply decompile the NPC mdl files and from then, you should google whatever you want to do. I only know how to work with weapon viewmodels and worldmodels.

Is this how windows explorer looks like in win 8? Ugh

[QUOTE=WhyNott;44712434]Is this how windows explorer looks like in win 8? Ugh[/QUOTE] Looks fine to me

It doesent matter anyway, it seems that valve screwd up modmaking using the source sdk with the new update, the mod doesent even appear on my steam library... :/
