exporting on Z axis will probably fix everything you mentioned

I fixed the transparancy issue but it just flipped the model vertically still at my feet. Any other ideas?

My melee model replacement ends up at the players feet instead of in their hand in-game. I'm fairly new to modding and modeling in general. I exported it as an SMD on the Y axis in blender. I'm pretty sure I rigged the bones to the model and have vertex groups with proper names. When decompiled its all original just the LOD1 and regular SMD are replaced with this model. File path I used for it should be fine. (models - weapons - c_models - c_ham).

Are there any common mistakes that could cause this. Model appears ingame and is textured just the positioning is wrong with a random piece of the model having a see through texture. Like you can see the texture but only the inside of it, as if you were x-raying it. Any advice helps

Im following this guide. Im not familiar with pc's so please be gentle <3
In installing the blender source tools it says to go to user prefrences then go to addons. When i press user prefrences it opens a blank window with nothing on it. Was i supposed to put the smd folder somewhere or is there a bug with blender. Again im not very good with pc's so im learning what you think people will obviously know I may not. <3
