Team Fortress 2 flex animation - .vta issues

jediflamaster

Using Blender, I've created a spy misc that should animate with the spy's flexes, Made all the shape keys for all the 40 emotions ( I used an imported .vta from the spy's model I decompiled to make sure I had it all covered). Exported the model into a .smd and a .vta, then I used the similar code I've found in the decompiled spy qc, just with the appropriate filenames. It compiled, but it didn't work in game. I compiled using the in-game import system. Please help.

Okay, apparently the in game importer and .vta files don't go together. Case closed.

But .dmx files should work fine if you haven't figured out yet.
