The model source files of Fortress Forever

Note: The files in this repository are not guaranteed to be up-to-date with the compiled models that are currently distributed with the game.

Setting up Studiomdl

1. Install Source SDK

• In Steam, go to the Library tab and select Tools from the dropdown
• Find Source SDK in the list and install it

2. Setup Source SDK

• Run Source SDK once (it will install some misc files and set the sourcesdk environment variable for you). Close it once it is finished.
• Download and run setup.bat

3. Set The Current Game

• Open Source SDK
• Select Source Engine 2006 as the Engine Version and Fortress Forever as the Current Game
• You can now close Source SDK as it's no longer needed

Compiling a Model

To compile a model, use studiomdl.exe found in Steam/steamapps/common/SourceSDK/bin/ep1/bin. When you launch Source SDK (see setup instructions), an environment variable named SourceSDK will get set to the Steam/steamapps/common/SourceSDK directory path, so you can use %SourceSDK%/bin/ep1/bin/studiomdl as a shortcut to studiomdl that will work across different machines.

Example commands to compile the tranquilizer viewmodel:

cd weapons/tranq/viewmodel
"%SourceSDK%/bin/ep1/bin/studiomdl" v_tranq.qc

Assuming you followed the setup instructions above, the compiled models will be output into the Steam/steamapps/common/Fortress Forever/sdk directory (not into the main mod directory), so you'll need to copy the newly compiled files into Steam/steamapps/common/Fortress Forever/FortressForever
