This article seems to be missing some of the basic commands I see in decompiled model's QC files. I'm guessing that it only actually details commands and changes that are new in Source as compared the HL1 engine.

I found the basic QC commands detailed on Wavelength. I suspect that list not complete though. Does anyone have a FULL list of commands?

Just a few grammatical corrections --tantoedge 12:03, 13 Jul 2005 (PDT)


Question/discussion about $replacematerial: "This can be used to cause lower LODs to use a smaller version of the texture, for instance." Isn't this totally wrong in most cases? If you have two of the models on the screen at the same time, one at a LOD level where the larger texture is used and one where the smaller texture is used - then you'd have to have both versions of the texture loaded, thus inverting the intended effect (less load on the graphic card). Furthermore I think that even if this was not the case, caching different versions of one texture does still stress the system. Am I correct? Should I re-write the section? --Vaarscha 23:05, 15 Mar 2006 (PST)
