Hello, so as you saw yesterday in #developer-talk im trying to port a SFM model created by my friend, Gisnis (the character is created by me btw), to Gmod as a Playermodel. Plus a skin where the character doesnt wear the equipment except the belt in the pants). I installed the program that should be use like blender, crowbar and GCF, but I don’t find the Model ID in the content folder. Do you guys think I should use steamdownloader? If you can help me just text right here. Thanks

just ask your friend for the source files lol

Cause is a simple folder

#

You think I need to use steamdownloader for the model and port it in crowbar

wide ridge
#

i guess you had understood bad the utilities of those tools

#

if you have the .mdl file of that character and you want to add bodygroups, you need to decompile the .mdl file so you'll get the .smd files. After that, you have to open the .smd files in blender to edit them and add the bodygroups you want

#

then re-export all again, and compile the .qc file with crowbar

This one

#

are you searching your friend's addon?

vagrant copper
#

Yeah

#

I just put the link there

wide ridge
#

you don't need that

#

there's an easier way to get it

#

if you have installed it by the gmod workshop, then you need to go to this steam path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\4000

#

you'll see then a lot of folders (depends how many addons you have installed)

vagrant copper
#

Okay The Model is from SFM

#

Source filmmaker

#

to get the addon's number you need to go to the workshop and copy the addon's ID

vagrant copper
#

Okay

#

After that

#

then open the folder and if there's a .gma file, just extract it with gmad.exe (it's in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\bin) by just drag the folder and drop it on gmad.exe

#

if you find a .bin file, you need to extract it with 7-Zip, rename the file's extension extracted with ".gma" and do the same thing with gmad.exe

#

And I have to unpack

wide ridge
#

vagrant copper
#

The files

vagrant copper
#

#

wide ridge
#

did you find the .bin file instead a .gma one?

vagrant copper
#
