What's Wrong with this Playermodel Code?

[Symthic]

I'm trying to convert this model:

[url]http://garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=81138[/url]

Into a playermodel. But it's not working well. It's stuck in a T pose, not facing the right way, and doesn't have an icon in the menus. Here's the .qc file contents from my work on it:

Here's a screenshot of my trouble:

UPDATE: I just need to know how to weightmap.

[QUOTE=Rinfect;41790252]its not using valve bones[/QUOTE]
How can I get it to use Valve bones? I tried, but when I do, I can't compile it, because apparently it's not in the .smd file.

[CaptainBigButt]

You'd have to import it into whatever modeling program you use (preferrably 3ds max or something) and rig it to the Valve Skeleton. You can find an example skeleton here:

%STEAM%\steamapps\USERNAME\sourcesdk_content\hl2mp\modelsrc\humans_sdk\Male\Group03

You'd basically just delete the mesh from this example model which leaves you the skeleton, then delete the skeleton from the samus model. If you just rescale and edit the model a little so it matches the skeleton, you'd just need to rig it using the skin modifiers.

All right, but when I try to import the model, it doesn't work. This is what it says to me:

EDIT: Nevermind, I got it. I had to find a download of 3ds Max 2012, then download the only .smd file importer I could find. Then I had to use the .smd file after decompiling it, rather than the .mdl model itself.

[Symthic]

Well, now I have it rigged and everything from the ground up. But now I have one last problem: how do you export it as an .smd?

EDIT: Turns out that the ability to export a model in .smd wasn't included with the import plugin. Just had to download that.

EDIT 2: Well, my problem doesn't end. Now I'm trying to compile the model, but it isn't working. I've rigged all three .smd's with the Valve skeleton, but it can't find the bones. I've tried typing them in manually, one by one, but it doesn't do it.

I'll link the .smd files if they're needed:

Your model isn't rigged, you put the skeleton in, but now you'll need to Weightmap it.
My recommendation is to take the original model with Nintendo's skeleton and rename the bones to match the ValveBiped skeleton. You also probably need to adjust the mesh/skelton so the animations don't look weird as hell.

How do you Weightmap, though? Or is it too complicated?

[Donkie]

I'm sure theres plenty of tutorials out there to weightmap in 3dsmax, google it. It's a common modelling technique.

I can't find one...

Hey, I found [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LL43i-A06Po]one[/url].
I don't use 3dsmax so I don't know if that's exactly how you do it in that program, but it should give you an idea.

It's not selecting the vertices... Don't know why. What program do you use?

[xXpyroHatakeXx]

[url=http://www.blender.org/]Blender[/url]. It's free, but it intimidated me at first. There are lots of tutorials out there for blender, so it's easy to find solutions when I have problems.

Thanks, can you give me a tutorial for how to weightmap in Blender?

[xXpyroHatakeXx]

Here's [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_sfan8OchA]one[/url]. This one should give you a small idea of what to do. You can easily find more tutorials, as I googled "weight mapping in blender" and got plenty of decent results. As with anything, you should experiment with the tools yourself before asking someone to hold your hand.
