I did follow that tutorial in the tutorials section... no offence to the creator of it, but it helps to a point...
I still don't know how to implement entirely new models in. for instance, I am creating some Sonic-based playermodels... I compiled them into the players folder, but one thing is confusing me... how do I recept the new model? I know you use a text file to indicate some of it, but not the model name itself...
Sorry if I have missed a particular point, but this has been getting to me for a while.
and yes, I did say I was going to make some models before... this just got in the way.

Emmm, ok i try to help you:
First you should test if the model that you want make a playermodel have a Valvebiped. skeleton (or HL2 default skeleton).
Second is obviously test if it have a good rig.
Third is compile to the player folder with the "male/female" anims.
Fourth is create the .vmt and .vtf files to can select in the game your model (note: the files must be called with the same name of the model, or it will not work).
And mainly that´s are all the steps to get work a model into a playermodel in OC.

Hi. I have a bit differrent problem with playemodel i tried to remake from gmod ragdoll (I had to rig it to biped)... Model works (almost) because it crashes obsidian when i kill myself to see the ragdoll... (Im afraid i messed something up when rigging the model... it was pretty hard so there is such possibility)
PS: It's my first model i (re)made.

The game crash when you die? Sounds a problem with the ragdoll model (remember, "body" and phymodel in reference in 3DS Max, Ragdoll in secuence).

I followed Mario's Guide to Ragdolling on Facepunch. I had to do some stuff in a bit different eay than there.
That's the model i tried to rig:
http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=116525 (the last pic's model obviously)
It was hard because i had to put it in t-pose and manipulate vertices a lot... When i was testing rig in-editor i rotated a few bones from their original position (i rotated them back to original position... at least i think so...)

OMG THAT MODEL!? Basically the only thing that i can say you is "Continue trying". I had to rig some models incredible detallied/with a lot of polygons and no always is 100% perfect (see the Kit Ballard playermodel, i´m continue fixing it when i can).

Again... If i load the model in hlmv it shows up... But if i put animation mdls into models/player dir (model currently is in hl2dm) and i try to load the model hlmv crashes:

2 questions:
You compiled the model with the animations?
You rigged properly the model with the HL2 default skeleton?
Re: Playermodeling help

Yes I rigged it to HL2 biped bones (although ithey got rotated a bit when checking the rigging)
And yes i added $includemodel lines in qc.
(Physics model is a bit unfitted to the reference model but i dont think thats what causing that problems.)

Try compiling again without the animations and deleting the hbox set (left only the Hbox default).

OK. It doesn't crash the game now... Collision model sucks and i cant tell if it has anims now but at least it doesnt crash.
EDIT: Correction... I checked the model in thirdperson... It hasn't got animations...
