I wrote a tutorial on this here.

I don't know, I have a feeling the tutorial is a bit messy..

Let me know if you need any further assistance.

Tried it, some of those tools dont work, I know the fix, but the recompiler doesnt work out right. Theres another on interlopers but uses the same tools and I did try what they did, I also tried wonderboys GUI recompiler and that STILL didnt work, i messed with the model a little... So if anyone could help me lol that would be awesome.

--IF you're just retexturing it, why not just replace the vtf? or are you trying to add selectable skins to the model?

Can you post your QC and the compile log from studiomdl?
