Thanks, fixed it.[steamreview.org]

2.2 adds support for this feature.

That isn't a huge improvement over the normal workflow. You can very easily create a shell script which makes vtex compile every new/altered TGA in your materialsrc folder.

You may be interested in my GIMP plug-in though.[code.google.com]

Incidentally, the limit in Source 2 is four weights per vertex. The new model compiler will truncate anything over that automatically (and actually tell you that it's done so!).

I've added a new scene option that enables culling of weight links below a given strength. I didn't use Limit Total itself because it only works on weightmapped meshes (the Tools also support subsurf, text, envelopes etc.) and because it deletes all excess weight links regardless of their strength.

This is not the place for general help with using Blender. Ask at the Blender Tutorial Community instead.

1. This is a limit enforced by studiomdl which isn't present for SMD. There's no getting around it.

2. The exported DMX isn't triangulated (check by importing it), but studiomdl will do that. Perhaps you have some tris hiding in your model? Seems a bit weird that the mesh has to be 100% quad BTW...

The shape normals thing may be a bug with the engine. If you can reproduce it with a single shape active let me know, otherwise it's probably not my problem. :)

This is caused by not having the VPROJECT environment variable set. It'll be fixed in the next release.

OK, I'm now able to use this new method. I'll look into this shortly.

As Foma says, you should provide the path of a QC file. You must create the QC file(s) yourself.

You can use wildcards to match mulitple QC files if you need to.
