I need to replace the gravity gun model to something more “preschooler friendly”.

Upon following a tutorial (http://www.hl2world.com/wiki/index.php/CStrikeSource_Weapon_Replacement), I ran into a problem.

GCFScape works great and I extracted the weapon model’s folder.

Tying to run mdldecompiler.exe (http://www.chaosincarnate.net/cannonfodder/cftools.htm)
(in sourcesdk/bin and in sourcesdk/bin/orangebox/bin) generated the following error:
The procedure entry point QAppendSlash could not be located in the dynamic link library vstdlib.dll.

I’m not sure, but maybe this is incompatible with Vista?

Thanks for your help,

Try the mdldecompiler.exe in sourcesdk/bin/ep1/bin.  This is for episode 1 engine.
Start Source SDK and make sure ‘Half-Life 2 Episode One’ engine is chosen in the
drop down menu, also have ‘Half-Life 2’ chosen for the current game.

The map I’m trying to make is for HL2: Ep2, but I’ll try your suggestion anyways.

The episode one part is for HL2.  The orange box engine version is for Team Fortress 2 and Day of Defeat Source.
