QC error with GUIStudioMDL 2.2 (SOURCE ENGINE)

MaccyF

Hi guys, I'm having a problem where this QC file:

$cd "C:/Users/Alex/Desktop/degroot/Stickey_Launcher/Compiled"

$modelname "weapons/c_models/c_MaccyF_Launcher/c_MaccyF_Launcher.mdl"

}

//$collisionmodel "c_sticky_jumper_physics.smd"

Gives this log:

GUISMDL doesn't seem to like the "{ }"s in the QC file, but without it i get unknown command errors.

If anyone is able to help i'll be really grateful.

You need to comment out those brackets too.
Right now it's empty parameter brackets with nothing and I think that's causing the error.

Change to this

//$collisionmodel "c_sticky_jumper_physics.smd"
//{
    //$mass 1
    //$inertia 1
    //$damping 0
    //$rotdamping 0

//}

You might be able to do this as well to comment the whole section. Can't remember it's been ages since I used QC.

/*
$collisionmodel "c_sticky_jumper_physics.smd"
{
    //$mass 1
    //$inertia 1
    //$damping 0
    //$rotdamping 0

}
*/

Thanks for answering, but unfortunately even with those commented out I'm still getting the same error.

Ok, im now using a different QC:

$modelname "weapons/c_models/c_MaccyF_Launcher/c_MaccyF_Launcher.mdl"
$model "Body" "c_MaccyF_Launcher.dmx.smd"
$cdmaterials "models/weapons/c_models/c_MaccyF_Launcher"
$cdmaterials ""
$hboxset "default"
$hbox 0 "weapon_bone" -4.130 -7.264 -25.883 4.482 11.755 16.272

// Model uses material "models/weapons/c_models/c_MaccyF_Launcher/c_MaccyF_Launcher.vmt"
$attachment "muzzle" "weapon_bone" -0.00 6.66 15.17 rotate -90.00 -0.00 0.00
$attachment "backblast" "weapon_bone" -0.00 6.66 -25.28 rotate 90.00 -0.00 0.00
$surfaceprop "metal"
$illumposition -5.081 0.176 2.245
$sequence idle "idle" loop fps 15.00
//$collisionmodel "phymodel.smd" {

//$concave
//$mass 9.0
//$inertia 1.00
//$damping 0.00
//$rotdamping 0.00
//}

$scale "1.0"

the model now works in HLMV, but I'm getting the pink checkers with the error "Model attempted to load one or more VMTs it can't find"

my vmt and vtf are in this directory:
F:\Games\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\materials\models\weapons\c_models\c_MaccyF_Launcher

and they are called c_MaccyF_Launcher.vtf and c_MaccyF_Launcher.vmt

in my SMD file, the triangles are pointing to c_MaccyF_Launcher.tga

In HLMV it says Materials used: "Launcher" which is obviously not right


EDIT: fixed it, i was missing a backslash at the start of the directory path
