trying to export the models as smd but it says collections

winged patrol
#

what

gleaming shoal
#

i wish it would let me send pics cuz its hard to explain but
when i go to export the mesh and rig it says collection 00.1 and collection 00.2 when i need it to say selected objects (2)

#

idk if thats a new thing or im doing something wrong

winged patrol
#

bro, did you understand what you said?

#

whatever

gleaming shoal
#

no 💀

winged patrol
#

you can export collections

#

as smd or dmx

#

clip on the object within the collection to export it

gleaming shoal
#

would the collections still work when decompiling it because last time it didnt

#

i used crowbar

winged patrol
#

um

#

of course it will work

#

if you did everything right

gleaming shoal
#

alr ill just try again

#

thanks

winged patrol
#

but I did nothing...

#

actually I don't understand

#

how the fuck collections should work after decompiling

gleaming shoal
#

u want me to explain again

winged patrol
#

its a blender thing

#

and you are decompiling mdls

#

when you are IMPORTING the smd file it CREATES a collection

#

with mesh in it

gleaming shoal
#

oh wait wait i was compiling it

#

that didnt work

#

im supposed to compile it but its not working

gleaming shoal
winged patrol
#

or something

gleaming shoal
#

when i compile the collection it says error opening the file

#

so i dont think its supposed to be exported as a collection

winged patrol
#

what's the difference

gleaming shoal
#

tryna figure that out myself

winged patrol
#

there's no difference

gleaming shoal
#

but im following a tutorial and i did it perfectly but for some reason his export options are different then mine

#

so maybe i fucked up idk

winged patrol
#

show it

gleaming shoal
#

alr

#

35:38

winged patrol
#

nono

gleaming shoal
#

Oh my screen?

winged patrol
#

show your export options

#

yes

gleaming shoal
#

the scene export option just puts both collections 1 and 2 in the folder

winged patrol
#

so?

#

you don't like the name?

gleaming shoal
#

💀

#

no

#

the point is that these arent what im supposed to get

#

im supposed to get "selectedobjects"

winged patrol
#

if your mesh in the collection then it will use its name

gleaming shoal
winged patrol
#

you can put it outside if you REALLY want it, but it's better to just rename it

gleaming shoal
#

mmm all i need is the mesh and saw hand with the bones to be smd

#

its not even called "collection"

winged patrol
#

it's actually pretty weird

gleaming shoal
#

u see wim

winged patrol
#

BUT

#

even if it's exported with the wrong name you can rename exported file...

gleaming shoal
#

hmmm idk if thatll work tho but ill try

winged patrol
#

why not? it's just the smd file name must match what is written in the qc file

#

and vice versa

#

also you can try to create collections with correct names and put meshes in them and THEN export smd files

#

I wonder why it thinks that the mesh is in the collection... maybe some bst incompatibility? old version of blender/bst?..

gleaming shoal
#

i hope not but it didnt work :/

winged patrol
#

what's in the crowbar output?

#

there should be an error

gleaming shoal
#

WAIT SHOOT i think ur first idea worked i just forgot to change a name

#

lets fucking go, okay THANK YOU fr
