ERROR: bogus bone index

????????

Welcome to the strange errors of compiling a model.

bogus is the name of one of the bones that have the model?

I find a fix: http://kathar.net/hl2modding/errors.php


ERROR: bogus bone index (number) (faulty SMD's path) (position of faulty joint)

About:
As the error suggests, there is a faulty joint/bone in your SMD. The only only cause of this I've found so far, is that you have a joint with literally no name, no spaces, no characters etc.

Solution #1:
Import your SMD into your 3d modelling application, locate any joints that have no name (most modelling applications have a listing of all joints in the 'scene' - use it, if you have one), delete them, then re-export your SMD.

Solution #2:
The above method doesn't always work, and as such, you may need to edit the SMD joint names manually. Open up your SMDs with notepad/wordpad, look at the first few lines of the SMD. You will see something like this:

Code: Select all

version 1
            nodes
              0 ""  -1
              1 "Screen"  -1
            end

Inbetween 'nodes' and 'end' is the list of joints. 0 & 1 merely represent the number of that joint/bone (so they can be called upon below, without resulting in probable large file sizes), and the characters inbetween the quotation marks ("") are the name of the joint/bone. As you can see, one of the joints has no name, this is causing our error. Set the joint name to whatever you wish. I will set it to test, now I have something like this:

Code: Select all

 version 1
            nodes
              0 "test"  -1
              1 "Screen"  -1
            end

Save the SMD, and try compiling again. If the problem persists, make sure you edit all SMDs that have an 'unnamed' joint/bone.

Hello again, i have a new fix for make playermodels if you do it from Ragdolls.

Paste this in the .qc:

Code: Select all

$poseparameter move_yaw -180.00 180.00
$poseparameter body_pitch -90.00 90.00
$poseparameter body_yaw -90.00 90.00


$attachment "grenade0" "ValveBiped.Bip01_Spine" 5.99 0.39 7.59 rotate 76.91 71.22 57.14
$attachment "grenade1" "ValveBiped.Bip01_Spine" 6.24 -2.34 6.66 rotate 62.97 100.42 87.46
$attachment "grenade2" "ValveBiped.Bip01_Spine" -0.35 2.21 -8.34 rotate -75.89 92.68 95.17
$attachment "grenade3" "ValveBiped.Bip01_Spine" 1.22 -1.11 -7.34 rotate -78.22 82.38 102.13

$attachment "primary" "ValveBiped.Bip01_Spine2" 10.44 -5.10 -4.88 rotate -11.71 179.79 3.52
$attachment "defusekit" "ValveBiped.Bip01_Pelvis" 0.00 1.22 -6.66 rotate -73.06 90.93 179.75
$attachment "eholster" "ValveBiped.Bip01_L_Thigh" 5.36 0.02 4.90 rotate 8.31 -91.56 99.67
$attachment "lfoot" "ValveBiped.Bip01_L_Foot" -0.00 5.20 -0.00 rotate -0.00 0.00 -0.00
$attachment "rfoot" "ValveBiped.Bip01_R_Foot" 0.00 5.20 0.00 rotate 0.00 0.00 0.00
$attachment "muzzle_flash" "ValveBiped.Bip01_L_Hand" -0.00 -0.00 -0.00 rotate 0.00 -0.00 -0.00

Not always works, and with this, is not guaranteed at 100%. But at least you´ll have one more chance to try.

Thanks to this tutorial i made a vortigaunt playermodel... BY MYSELF!

[MaestraFénix]

Hello again, this time is for add a better way to make the GUI images to select the playermodels in game using Paint.Net:

1: Get the image (you know, "impr. pant" or another ways to take a photo of your model).

2: Prepare the image. If you are used "impr. pant", use the rectangule selection and select "cut selected". Only will have the image that it was inside of the rectangule. Use the "wand" tool and put the tolerancy level to 10% or less. Delete everything that surround the model.

3: Go to "Image" and select "change size". Deactivate "keep relation size" and set the image in 200x200.

4: Go to "Image" and select "change canvas size". Set 256x256 and select "upper left position".

5: Save the image in .tga format with the name of the model.

6: Drag and drop the .tga file into VTFedit. Press "ok" and save as .vtf format. Must have the same name of the model.

7: Create the .vmt coping another .vmt from the materials/VGUI/playermodels/Player folder if you don´t want write it, change the directory of the image and put it in materials/VGUI/playermodels/Player.

8: Sucess


I decided post this here because the "Paint.Net" method is wrong, and because i always forget following this way.

This tutorial is outdated. The new is in the wiki:

Anyway, if you have problems making a playermodel, post here your problem.

Anyway I can make them into Gmod player models?

Anyway I can make them into Gmod player models?

Find out what GMOD player model has all the animations. And "$include" them instead of the OC ones.
