• Need to convert something

hey guys I need to convert a .mdl file in to any of the following: 3DS, DXF, MQO, LWO, OBJ, STL, KML, KMZ how would I go about doing that?
First you would need to decompile the model, to get some .smds, then open the .smds in the model program of you choice.
so how would I go about doing that?
Cannonfodders MDL decompiler.
ok and what do I do with that? I need some more help here guys.
You load your model in the decompiler (by setting the path to it in the first box), then your set the place you want the decompiled source files to go (in the second box) and then click extract. it should then say Loaded (model name), do some stuff and finally spit the SMD, QC and VTA (if it has faceposing) files into the output folder (the ones you defined in the second box). That help?
I can't get the decompiler to run, I keep getting this "the procedure entry point Q_Appendslash could not be located in the dynamic link library vstblib.dll." message
Put the .exe file for the decompiler your using in the sdk/bin/ep1/bin fodler (its probberly currently in the sdk/bin folder) and it should work, but you may have to alter the gameinfo.txt in your garrysmod/garrysmod fodler so where it says "211" you change it to "-211". Also while your on move any other .exe files you find in your sdk/bin folder to the sdk/bin/ep1/bin folder as it will save you getting that issue (the missing .dll thing) with them aswell if you use them in the future. You should probbely check there's a file called "Filesystem_Steam" in the sdk/bin/ep1/bin folder aswell, as if there's not i'll need to give you the link to it (where i've uploaded it).
ok so it starts the program but then I get an error about the gameinfo.txt. it isnt there.
Ok how about this, can someone convert the model in this pack to any of these; 3DS, DXF, MQO, LWO, OBJ, STL, KML, KMZ? Thanks. [url]http://uploading.com/files/dd7bc4e3/grey_fox.zip/[/url]
