Two problems with compiling models

Hi, I have two problems with compiling my models.
They are for Half-Life Source...I know this is probably a bit off topic but maybe someone can help me. :)
Hl:S and HL2 are running on the same engine after all.

I downloaded the high definition pack for hl:s and decompiled the hgrunt model.
The hgrunt has 4 heads and three weapons.

I rigged my model to the skeleton, compiled it and now have these problems:
-The submodels don?t work ingame (meaning all heads and weapons show up at the same time, same in the modelviewer)
-The running animations won?t work.When they try to run away ingame the animation is just the "ragdoll" t-pose.They don?t move at all.
After checking it out in the modelviewer i realized the animation plays fine but the floor doesn?t move.

I didn?t touch the animations tho...so it?s probably something in cannonfodders studiocompiler or the qc I have to setup?

Hope someone can help me out...I?d love to see my these guys running around, shooting at me. :)
 
Upload the model.
 
I'll let you know when I get it working. You can remove the link.

Edit: Have you ever been on Chumbalum Software forums?
 
Thanks man, I appreciate it.:)
Yeah, I was a frequent User some time ago.
 
Your animations need LX command. You can get the missing information from original hgrunt model for Half-Life. Here is an example:

Before:

$sequence walk1 "walk1" loop ACT_WALK 1 fps 35

After:

$sequence walk1 "walk1" LX loop ACT_WALK 1 fps 35

-

As for the subgroups, the original hgrunt model (see below) does have 1 body, 4 heads and 2 weapons.

$body "body" "gruntbody"

$bodygroup "heads"
{
studio "grunthead"
studio "commanderhead"
studio "shotgunhead"
studio "m203_head"
}

$bodygroup "weapons"
{
studio "gunreference"
studio "gunreference(shotgun)"
blank
}
 
The heads and weapons are working fine now. :)

I did compare the new qc to the original one but there are almost no differences.
I?ve got the collectors edition of HL2...Could you post the qc you?re talking about?
I copied the LX into the sequences but it didn?t work.

I hope this helps.
 
Thanks.
I fixed up my qc like the one you posted but it still doesn?t work...the floor still doesn?t move.
 
Have you tried using the original hgrunt's animations (only walk and run)?
 
That won?t work...The high definition pack has a different skeleton.
I tried decompiling and recompiling the original hgrunt, with the same result.

In another forum I got told that the decompiler messes up the lines for submodels and the run/walk cycles for some reason.
 
Then decompile Gearbox's original HD model and use it's animations. It's really simple.
 
I?m afraid it?s not.
I downloaded the ported high definition models for hl:s, decompiled them and rigged my model to the skeleton.
After realizing that the run cycles and submodels were broken, I decompiled the standard hgrunt that came with the game and rigged my model to that skeleton.
It had the same problems.

Like I said, it seems that valve?s decompiler misinterprets a few lines (the submodels and the run/walk cycle).I could fix the submodels thanks to you, but the runcycle is still broken.

I tried copying the lines from the qc you posted but it didn?t have any effect on the model.
I?m really not sure what to do right now.
Are there any other ways to decompile the mdl files?

But thanks for your help so far. :)
 
You said it youself, you decompiled the model for "HL:S". You must decompile the Gearbox's original HD hgrunt model which comes with Blue Shift, then use it's animations.

Edit: ...or let me fix the whole thing (upload your source files).
 
Awesome!
So what exactly did I do wrong?
I thought about redoing a few more models and I can?t keep bothering you with this afterall. :laugh:

The stuff on your page looks great!I?ll definatly dig into that.

/edit
I think the link is broken. :)
 
When I try to compile your hgrunt_mycode.qc I get an Error.
" ERROR: could not load file DC_soldier_reference.obj "
 
It compiles fine here, you must be missing something. Is your *.qc and mesh files are in the same folder?
 
Yeah, I extracted the hgrunt_fixed folder and just compiled the qc.
Could you upload the compiled mdl somewhere so I can take a look at it?
 
Ah what the heck, at least I can play with ?em now. :)
Thanks a lot.
