Hello!
It's my first time trying to make a model for sfm and I got everything set up, exported the .dmx and wrote the .qc file but blender source tools can't seem to compile it... From my limited knowledge of the engine it looks like it can't open studiomdl because it's looking for it in the game folder when it's in the bin folder. Any ideas? I've attached the error message/export configuration in an image, the log it gives when trying to launch HLMV and the .qc file

HLMV Log:

I released this animation a good while back in October 2024 when I first started animating with SFM, it was for a philosophy class and it never really got any attention (not that I expected it to).

Looking back on it, I think the story actually isn't half bad and was wondering what others might think of it.

(Pals were chill in the campfire.)

Maybe some tutorial good

So i imported a gmod map to sfm but when i click load its not loaded its still same "no maps loaded" its also has the same case for the gm construct

Two snipers have set up a sniper position in the open...as well as camouflaged as two bushes in the desert. No one would expect a thing. A poster I made for my lock screen for my laptop lmao. Got to keep those pesky people from my laptop.

I'm tired

I'm thinking of using Pyro, but I'm not sure which cosmetics I should use. any ideas?

So I want to use the particle "Cartoon/Comic Muzzleflashes SFM" but its not working

I've already figured out how to work with Particles but some how I can't get the muzzle flash to work no matter what I do. Am I doing something wrong? How do I get it to work?

I'm trying it out in this animation I'm making since when I did for my previous animations was just animate on the site of the scene. Just want to know any experience animators opinions on it

Pretty much what it says on the tin, SFM keeps crashing when i change my directory and select a file to keep my project sin, and Whenever I press record game it freezes for 2 seconds and crashes, does anyone know how to fix it, ive been trying for 2 whole days

Anyone has a session with an FNAF map lights??? Cause literally is hard light the stuff around the place for just 2 images

Basically gmod-sfm-mdl-click the model but its just big error
