extracted model problem

[crackhead]

i extracted the alyx model to mess about and re-animate her to get some more experience in animating. when i opened up the refference file there wernt any bones or nothing just nulls. like links to bones. and there is no animation smds. have i extracted the wrong file or something?

I did it too and it had bones... I used the latest versions of cannonfodder's tools...

lol no its not. i opened it in 3dsmax as well. maybe i have the old cannonfodder tools coz i also get a weird bug where sometimes it doesnt finish dumping the model and its all weird

crackhead u have 3dsm and XSI? are u insane? wow.

 

[mindless_moder]

why is that insane ? xsi is available via a free download (the hl2 version that is)

 

[crackhead]

i just got a new laptop and i installed 3ds max, as well as xsi, coz i bought a book on character modeling for 3dsmax

lol i dont have it yet i ordered it from amazon but ill tell you as soon as it comes. it looks good. i would prefer if it was written for xsi btw i checked and i do have the up to date version of the mdl decompiler but yet i dont have bones on my model its really werid and annoying. i found the animation mdl file. i didnt realise it was a seperate smd.
