How would I group the two objects together? Also, in option 1 did you mean ctrl+j? or something else, because I did ctrl+j with the meshes first time around.

I did join the hat model with Alyx. So they both move if I move the mesh. What else could be a problem? After I exported the model, I noticed when I opened the smd IN notepad ++ for the whole time it mentions alyx, it said no_material. Its different if I open the backup of alyx's smd in notepad. So, maybe the problem was caused because I decided to copy over the backup smd with the backup of the one with teh santa hat, and just copy/paste the santa hat text in the smd to the newly copied one, so I am not sure if that IS the cause, or not...but the model is fine when I open it.

I just really want to get this compiled. :(

I just got a little confused at that last part.

Make sure that the filenames match the material name used in Blender.

I don't think I did anything with materials...You mean for the santa hat? I think I understand now, I'll try. (but I'd prefer to know rather than guessing what to do)

Also, with the QC if I do place the santa hat materials in with Alyx's this is the only line I get.

$cdmaterials "models\Alyx\"

Nothing in the QC has santa hat otherwise...is it meant not to?

When I compile, I get this error:

"can't find eyeball texture "eyeball_r" on model"

Ok, so basically, my goal is to put a TF2 santa hat on Alyx, then make it a mod for HL2, so Alyx can walk around with a santa hat in HL2 and Episodes. So far in my conquest, I have put the hat on her reference model, and joined the meshes together and exported.

What I need help with is what to do next. Or, have I missed any steps? (I.e. applying the uv maps to the santa hat or alyx?) I'm not sure what to do next apart from editing the QC, which I don't even know WHAT to edit to make it so the santa hat textures appear in game.

I use a L4D2 mod which adds a santa hat for Zoey as a reference, I mean as in just viewing the files and such. Not actually using them.

Please help!

Thanks,
