My new pistol for Engie shows up invisible in TF2. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong in my qc here or smd export to do this ?

Woops sorry forgot to tag the title :/

I've been having the same (or some sort of similar) problem, I have no idea what to do. I'm pretty sure it's an smd problem. I've used two different exporters so far, and only one works, but sadly, doesn't support armatures/animations (so it's only use is for detail props). The other exporter seems to work for everyone BUT me (or mabye I'm just crazy), I'm going to try and export on a different computer, but I'm not sure if that will make a difference...

Two question to make sure we're having the same problem:
1. What does it say in the console when you're wielding the weapon?
And 2. When you activate cheats, then go into the wireframe view, can you see your weapon, or is he just holding nothing?

So... yeah. That's it I guess.

Yeah I figured out what the problem is a while a back. What SMD's do is they rename the bones to have dots rather than underscores.

Unfortunately that still doesn't fix my problem :/
Guess it's time to start a new thread...
