StudioMDL refuses to compile my specific model for no reason.

Garry's Mod modelling

All my other QC’s compile fine if it’s a static prop, but when I try to compile my weapon model it comes up with a mysterious error

g_path:  "C:\Users\HP\Documents\3dsmax\export\krinkov\ak74u.qc"

here is my qc

You need to put the location of the files in the .qc.

#3

You don’t for StudioMDL/GuiStudioMDL only for StudioCompiler.

#4

Hmm, tried re-exporting the model?
Sometimes GUIstudioMDL gives errors about really weird stuff, but compiles it the second time I’ve exported a model. Dunno why.

#5

I moved the QC file to the other pc, and it compiles fine.

I think it’s a problem with Vista, any ideas ;(?

#6

Vista works fine for compiling.

#7

Yeah, it’s compiling all my other props EXCEPT this :argh:

#8

I think this happened to someone else when they copied and pasted the .qc. You could try going through and manually replace every $ with your own.
