Talk:MDLDecompiler

I am also looking for some experienced programmers to help me redo the whole program. If you want to help email me erix920@yahoo.com there are also no known problems with these programs, aside from the fact that they don't work on Vista. I simply edited the hex to make it work.

Warning:Erix' attempts at updating these tools have ended in various problems on a number of users machines, making them unreliable. A more reliable alternative is to use Cannonfodder's version - put these in the root/bin (eg: counterstrike source/cstrike/bin) folder to make them function properly.

@Philthy: citation needed. Also, what kind of reliability problems have occurred after using his modified version? For I don't seem to have experienced any problems after using his version months ago. Fractal 18:36, 16 Sep 2006 (PDT)

Installation

1. Download Erix' version of StudioCompiler.exe and place it in your sourcesdk/bin directory.
2. Create a Shortcut to StudioCompiler somewhere handy, like on your desktop.
3. Double-Click the Shortcut to launch the program. (You don't 'drag-n-drop' onto the shortcut like you can with vtex or studiomdl)

I was unable to successfully install any of these versions or directories except using Erix StudioCompiler in the half-life 2 deathmatch/bin directory. Beeswax 17:39, 5 Nov 2007 (PST)

You place them in Source SDK/bin --Frostbite 18:00, 5 Nov 2007 (PST)

quite right: Erix' Studiocompiler.exe in sourcesdk/bin does work (ahem ... user error  ;) Beeswax 09:10, 6 Nov 2007 (PST)

Merge StudioCompiler & MDLdeCompiler articles ?

• Am I correct in thinking that StudioCompiler includes MDLdeCompiler?
• The article at studiocompiler contains a fair description but dead links.
• This article (mdldecompiler) contains little description but good links.
• Therefore wouldn't it be better to merge the StudioCompiler & MDLdeCompiler articles?
