Extracting models from Insurgency - Developers

Hello, does anyone know how to extract models and possibly workshop content from insurgency? Thanks.

gcfscape should work with insurgency vpks like normal, even workshop vpks (that should be located in steamapps/workshop/content/222880/<addon's workshop id> iirc)

I have tried opening up the workshop content with GCFscape and decompiling the mdl files with crowbar. However when I try to open it up in Blender after extracting the file I get an error. https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/174694/7f63714d-f3dd-4f9e-8cb6-d1a6393531cf/error.png

that seems like a problem specific to the qc/smd import plugins you have. i have never used blender at all so i definitely dont know anything about source engine specific plugins. you tried importing a qc file and not an smd file, right?

Yes, that is correct. But only because Crowbar extracted it in such format, no smd files were extracted in the decompiling process.

Did you try to decompile an anim file or something?

I'm not sure, I'll tell you my process to see if it helps in finding the problem. So the first thing I did was find the location of the workshop content. It is found in Local Disk > Program Files x86 > Steam > Steamapps > Workshop > Content > 22880 > 877100197. The numbers on the last two specify the game and the specific workshop content. In this case I'm trying to extract the C7E. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=877100197 The next thing I do is double click on the VPK file and it is opened up through GCFscape. From here I have two folders, models and materials. I click on models because I want the 3D object of the gun. I open the next and only folder in the models folder, "weapons." After that I have multiple files, a folder named "upgrades" (I assume these are attachments which I am not interested in), v_m16a3dx90.vtx, v_m16a3.mdl, v_m16a3.vvd, w_m16dx90.vtx, w_m16.mdl, and w_m16.vvd. Afterward, I tried decompiling both mdl files with Crowbar, of which gave me a single .qc file each. I tried importing both on blender but I get the error as shown above on both.

What version of crowbar are you using?

Newest one, .56. I had already successfully decompiled a few addons from Garry's Mod yesterday. It is much easier to do it on there as that one has a built in extractor and doesn't require GCFscape. Unfortunately it only works on addons specific to that game.

What's your decompile log?

Although the smds are showing up on the log, they don't appear anywhere on the folder I specified it to extract to. Only the .qc file is visible.

" WARNING: VTX file not found. WARNING: VVD file not found." the problem is in the log make sure you have those in the same folder as your .mdl, with the same name
