Making A Qc File

TheFrag

<div class="IPBDescription">for my p model</div> Ok, I took the w_mdel I had and and use dit and a biped to create a p_model. I exported it as a skeletal and ref smd. (idle and lmg_ref). Now I need to compile, which I assume I need a QC file for. Soooooo... how do I make one for this? Are there any guides anywhere? I really wanna compile this so that I can play with it.
Thanks.

Just making sure- to compile the p_model I need the ref model, skeletal, skins, and qc file, right?
Thanks once again.

If you are actually replacing some model, then you must use it's qc file.

Sniper_Chance

For whatever weapon that you're replacing (Example: HMG), take the p_hmg MDL and decompile everything from it. Then match up your model with the HMG pmodel reference, and assign it to the same bone as the HMG vertices. Then delete the HMG mesh.

There you have it. =D

Darkkiz

Yeah, that's not exactly what he asked, but yes, and then compile it with the decompiled qc file.

Actually... I think that is where my problem lies. How do I know which bone the vertices is assigned to?
lol, im such a nub

Sniper_Chance

Open up the pmodel, go to the Bones section, and select each bone and click "Select Assigned...". You'll know which bone the weapon mesh is assigned to when the vertices turn red.

Usually it will have a name like "Line02" or "gun".
