compiling model Thread

well i have made a very simple shelve model, and simple texture. Using XSI mod tool with source engine.
Ive exported them to smd's (phys, and skeletal anim, and reference) and am tryin to build a qc file for them. I went to the valvedeveloper website to find an answer and i found a sample qc file and did the replacing to make it for my model.
heres my qc file

$modelname "props_sdk\shelves.mdl"
$body mybody "shelves-ref.smd"
$staticprop
$surfaceprop wood
$cdmaterials "models\props_sdk"

$sequence idle "shelves-idle.smd" loop fps 15

$collisionmodel "shelves-phys.smd" { $concave }
$keyvalues
{
prop_data
{
base Wooden.Small
dmg.bullets 0
explosive_damage 100
explosive_radius 50
}
}

due to how much cannonfodders studiocompiler blows and never fucking works no matter HOW much i change the stupid appid bull ect ive moved on to jeds guistudio. but whenever i click compile it says this line...

ERROR: f:\program files\steam\steamapps\gagetmaniac\sourcesdk\bin\ep1\bin\shelves.qc(1): - bad command $

im workin so hard and gettin so far with my mod and this is a huge wall that needs to move.

Its better to use a batch file. Here, copy this into notepad, and save it as 'whatevercompile.bat'

okay thnx for the qc ill def use it, but for that bat file you were sayin can you send me the one you use? i find it is easier to know what to place into the file when i see another copy, i can make the file so its set to my settings just need to know what to place in the ...
one more thing, in that qc the first line says "props/modelname/.mdl
should that last / be there?

AH, yeah the '/' shouldnt be there. And for the .bat its very simple. just copy all of this :

pause

And paste it into a notepad file. And when you save the notepad, save it as whatever name you want but put .bat at the end. This wll make it a batch file not a notepad file.

okay thanks man

alright its not working, when i drag the qc to the bat file it flashes the DOS window for not even full second and closes.

Did you make sure you changed all the paths in the .bat file? also that .bat is set up for ep1 compiling tools not ob.

well thats my point, studiocompiler isnt working at all, doesnt start at all. ive done the //tools apps id part and nothing works. still says same nosteamappid shit

Ah i see what you mean. Hmm ive had that before but cant remember why or how it was fixed. Perhaps someone else can shed light on the subject, or check the steam forums.

hah yeh rite everyone on here always complain noob noob noob, just trying to effin learn shit. thnx dude
ill still use the qc file you sent cause that works, this site isnt good for gettin help, kinda but not rlly
