*DON'T USE THIS GUIDE.* This guide is *OUTDATED* and unnecessarily complicated. There is a much easier updated guide available here: ua-cam.com/video/jgQHGhqmZg4/v-deo.html
ok this is a few years ago, but i honestly dont understand what people are having trouble with, you are one of the best tutorial guys out there this was an amazing tutorial, literally just did everything as you said it and worked perfectly
For those of you having problems with GMPU not extracting your files, try setting the paths again (Settings > Set path) because mine were blank even though I set them already.
For anyone reading this 2019. Make sure u "Unpack" or "Extract" the gmpu.zip file into a folder of your choice, then it will work. Atleast it did for me!
Anyone watching this is 2019 and are trying to use the Crowbar I ran into a issue that was different than the video. When you go to decompile and the text box at the bottom shows up blank you need to change your "output to:" drop down box to "subfolder (of MDL input)" than it should work and decompile your MDL file.
bro im gonna die i cant even download the source tools, the zip won't decompress even with 7zip cuz it says it's still downloading even though it's not actually still downloading all i wanted to do is stitch the Engineer's head on Jotaro Kujo's body :(
doge with a lion's mane hi, I’m sorry for replying 3 years later. But if you still want suggestions, I recommend vroid studio. It’s pretty easy to learn (well for me, I learn at a fast pace, but you may be different). Anyway, vroid studio is this 3D model program where you have a base, but you can basically customize everything about the base. I use it, and it gets the job done.
William REEfton SFM ok so, update. Although you can probably make your own clothes in vroid (I would look it up) you can’t port them out of blender as “smd” files. I actually tired to use vroid for my playmodel and it didn’t export. So, sorry for the misunderstanding :-/
I keep getting an error when I try to extract the .gma file in GMPU. It said that I can't extract the file because it cannot run the program ""\gmad.exe""): CreateProcess error=123. The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. What am I doing wrong?
for new commenters just now getting into this stuff: I can confirm that this is not a virus. I have used this tutorial since it first came out with no issue. Though now it may be outdated.
I have a problem, i already have the player model done, it works perfectly, i have the textures and the weight painting it's really good, but my ragdoll just doesn't work and i have it exactly as you have it!! I really need help, that's the only thing i'm missing!! :,( When i kill myself the model just goes in to a t pose, i don't really know what to do.
I've selected a ragdoll from the GMod Workshop (Quiet from MGSV). Main issue with her is that the reference file doesn't include her hair mesh. Additionally, she's missing her outer limbs (with a good chunk missing on her left arm).
hey, forgot to thank you for this tutorial. its been a year since ive watched this fun fact. so glad i learned how to use blender before i jumped into rigging, i was wayyyyy too impatient your pretty amazing. thanks again!
Most of the programs in the description have been updated. Is there an updated tutorial? Something's going wrong and my files won't show up in blender and I've followed almost all the steps. I just wanna make a chao player model :/
Is it okay if I use a Unity Asset FBX as the playermodel? I really want to use an animated one, or will it not work since she's already animated? Oh, and there's a lot of FBX files included in her Little_Girl_Zombie file. There are FBX files like ZS_Scratch, ZS_Idle, and more.

I would like to use a couple models ripped straight from a PS2/PS3 game, would I need to make it into a ragdoll before I can make it into a player model or can I just add the skeleton and start weight painting?
Cannot run program ""\gmpublish.exe"" (in directory ""): CreateProcess error=123, The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect HOW DO U FIX THIS
what the hell?! gmpu is NOT working! every time i try extracting it, it just extracts files called: "com" and "META-INF" and neither one of these files has the program! >:(
I have a problem with blender, or my model I should say. When I import my model into blender, His body is stuck in the ground. I'll keep trying to figure out how to fix it if you can, but, if you can help me out, i'd appreciate it!
Is it possible to make a playermodel with more/less bones and/or bones in completely different positions? Like a character that stands on all fours like a cat, dog, wolf, fox, raccoon, dragon, etc. Or even a RadRoach?
is it possible to get a blank ragdoll and import your own textures onto it? I am trying to make an oblivion player model but so far no luck being that there is no rag doll of it.

William REEfton SFM also, you can’t get rid of the mouth...BUT....you can make it really small and you can cover it up
most playermodels are not original most of them were from other games, so you're not the only one
i have java, tried extracting but nothing worked,my gmpu (gmpu 2.2) doesn't work and i cant find the older version
can i fix it somehow????
i told to myself: hey today i will make my playermodel, and then i saw this. ITS HARD AS ****

I don't actually have gmod I just like hearing your voice
now this right here, is a supportive human.
I have a couple questions, do you have a way we could chat?
a simple one : why change the original skeleton?
gmpu can be replaced by steam workshop downloader???
i tried to download gmpu but gmpu.jar is a .zip folder and i tried to extract it but it just gave me the insides of the .zip
Yay *FINALLY* someone who made this video
I have a problem, i already have the player model done, it works perfectly, i have the textures and the weight painting it's really good, but my ragdoll just doesn't work and i have it exactly as you have it!! I really need help, that's the only thing i'm missing!! :,(
When i kill myself the model just goes in to a t pose, i don't really know what to do.
It will get better :)
Jesus Christ is that you?
maybe there is a playermodel animation mdl is missing
you deserve more subs. this series was very helpful.
everyone what he does not say in the video is that you must have java installed to open gmpu.jar and use it heres the link
java.com/en/
i want to add scout's bonk hat to combine soldier playermodel, should I edit it with the crowbar also?

after the First Part
gmpu i downloaded all versions in every single folder its only 2 folders called meta_inf and com no .jar or any programs wtf
you need to rename .zip to .jar
doesn't work
What if there's no "User Preferences"?
I encountered the same problem and figured out it just called "Preferences" now and not 'user prefences'
hope this helps
