here's what i do step-by-step:
* import SMD for another model
* position new model
* change name values
* remove all bone associations
* add bone association with ValveBiped.Bip01_Head1 (or ValveBiped.forward)
* remove weight from model through weight paint subtract
* select all components of model
* ctrl+j
* export SMD, compile

alright, so i did that (at least i think i did >.>) and it still seems to be an issue.
from what i could gather i had to use the subtract function in order to remove the weight, so i applied that all over the model, but it still looks the same.

perhaps i've done this wrong? regardless, thanks for the help

yes, that's what i mean. is that process automatic or something? i've never even heard of it, but some a quick google search tells me it's something you apply.

how can i get rid of it if this is automatic? deleting the associated vertex groups maybe? i'm assigning it to only one bone, ValveBiped.forward

well i managed to figure it out after poking around for a few minutes.
i've got this happening though when i add glasses: http://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/id/artgoonwithlove/screenshot/31869334135794423

so i'm trying to attach a hat onto an existing model, i do ctrl+j to merge the two meshes, export, etc. everything's fine until actually utilising the model, the hat mesh basically doesn't move in sync with the other model, it's out of position and not like it is in my .blend

i don't know what to do

Maybe because its not rigged to the right bone? e.g if you try merge a hat with a playermodel, you would have to first merge it and then assign every hat face to head bone.

how would i go about doing that?

i don't know what to do

After learning basic modelling in Blender, I created a model, textured it and exported it as a .SMD file. I created the .QC for it and I then proceeded to compile it. So far so good, I then go to test out the model, and there's no textures that go with the model.

I don't think this is a problem with the file paths, because I am almost certain they've been set correctly. What would the reason for all of this be?
