Help with player model qc - Developers

I have a model and collision model which I can code into a ragdoll but I'm a bit confused on how to code it into a player model for gmod. I've been trying to find guides for how to make one but found nothing really useful. What code should I use and what files should I include?

$includemodel m_anm.mdl. If your model already has all the proper bones, then all you need is that.

Try this, I moved an older post of mine onto my website. [url]http://charlesmconard.weebly.com/blog/how-to-make-playermodels-and-npcs-for-garrys-mod[/url]

Your old post about converting ragdolls to playermodels was the first exposure I've ever had to modelling; thanks for all of your great work!

[QUOTE=Voidtex;47918939]What do you mean by "all the proper bones"?[/QUOTE] If the model you want to use is already on the HL2 or CS:S rig, then you're good to go. if it's on a different rig, you're going to run into problems.

How would I "match up" the rigs?

[QUOTE=Voidtex;47949627]Where could I get a human skeleton?[/QUOTE] Browsing HL2 sdk files or a few other Source SDKs available. You might also decompile a human model from HL2 (use Crowbar Tool) and get the ragdoll.smd file for the skeleton.
