QC File Glossary


Here you can see all .qc file commands. Need more information on what qc files are? Check out the tutorial section.
Dashed underlinesThat's right, dashed underlines just like this. mean a pop-up note is attached to the word, hover your mouse over it to read it.

Regarding Outlines of Use; brackets and their grey contents should not be used as shown. They should be replaced with appropriate values that can be seen from the 'Possible Values' sections. (Should the 'values' also be in grey, then just do as the 'values' instruct.) Quotation marks and file extensions (.smd, etc.) aren't required on all commands, but they help to keep the .qc file tidy, which in-turn helps prevent any possible mistakes.



QC files are merely .txt files that have had their file extension renamed to become a .qc file. These QC files consist of many "commands", which define almost everything about a model, such as; its folder structure and name, its physics properties, whether it has animations, and much, much more. Do not worry about placing capital letters in command names, as they are not case-sensitive. Brackets (and the like) however, are very sensitive, so be careful with those.

This is what a common QC used on a "prop" model will look like:
  • Example 
      $cd "C:\Documents and Settings\Marc\Desktop\Compiling Related\Raptor"

$modelname "katharsmodels\raptor\raptor.mdl"

$cdmaterials "katharsmodels\raptor\"

$scale 22

$upaxis "z"

$surfaceprop "metal"

$body "studio" "raptor_ref.smd"

$sequence idle "raptor_ref" fps 30.00

$collisionmodel "raptor_phy.smd" {

	$concave
	$mass 1800
}

    • This is what a common QC used on a "ragdoll" model will look like:
  • Example 
      $cd "C:\Documents and Settings\Marc\Desktop\Jeff Wayne Tripod"

$modelname "katharsmodels\jeffwayne_tripod\jeffwayne_tripod.mdl"

$scale 32

$body "studio" "tripod_ref.smd"

$surfaceprop "metal"

$cdmaterials "katharsmodels\jeffwayne_tripod\"

$upaxis "z"

$sequence idle "tripod_ref" fps 30.00

        nameThis is where you define the name of the attachment. The name is important as you commonly refer to it. For example, attachment points can be referred to, when making cables with the '$keyvalues > cables' command. = attachment's name
        joint-parent = a joint name
        x-position = real numberA real number is any number. It can be negative, a decimal, or both. So your 'value' should be something like these: -6, 1.2, 0, -3, 4032.405 etc.
        y-position = real numberA real number is any number. It can be negative, a decimal, or both. So your 'value' should be something like these: -6, 1.2, 0, -3, 4032.405 etc.
        z-position = real numberA real number is any number. It can be negative, a decimal, or both. So your 'value' should be something like these: -6, 1.2, 0, -3, 4032.405 etc.

        About:
        I won't go into too much detail, but if you want to know more, check out the tutorial section. There's several SMD types which make up a model. All of which do different things. There's a 'reference' smd, which is what you will see in-game. There's the 'collision/phys' smd which is what you 'feel' in-game (reacts to the environment) and then there's 'skeletal/animation' smds, which tell the model what pose to be in. This $body command tells the model what 'reference' smd to use.

        $body is merely a simple version of the '$model' command. $body makes the model load a tiny bit faster, and should be used when not using any of the sub-commands of '$model'. Such as, flexes (blendshapes, morph targets), eyeballs, eyelids, etc.

        All model details are generally inside one SMD and loaded from one $body/$model command. However, if you're working on a pre-existing model and, let's say, you wanted to add some glasses to it, then usually the pre-existing flexes will also bend the glasses with them. To solve this, leave the original smd being loaded by the $model command and then make a copy of that SMD, import it into your modelling application, place the glasses where you'd like them to be, delete the rest of the mesh but keep the skeleton and then bind the glasses to the head joint and export. You can then add a $body command loading the glasses smd. What this essentially doing is saying; okay, I've got a body-mesh, with facial expressions, it then adds the other '$body/$model' commands to it. So it will now find the glasses smd, notice they are the same skeleton, sort of 'morph' them into one skeleton and thus the glasses are on the face. But as only the '$model' command holds the flex information, the glasses will not be affected.

        Outline of Use:
        $body "(name)" "(reference-model.smd)"

        Possible Values:
        nameI am unsure what this 'name' refers to, but cannot be that important as I haven't ran into anything related to it yet. Default name for this tends to be 'studio'. = name
        reference-model.smdSet this to the name of the .smd file you wish to load.

        The .smd file extension isn't actually required. The compilers can run just fine without it, but it makes the .qc file easier to read, and without organisation, problems tend to occur.         = an SMD name

This command can be declared several times, but if multiple vmts are found that the model wishes to use, then the '$cdmaterials' command that is closest to the top of the QC will take priority.

            About:
            As the word 'damping' suggests, this command affects how the model will react when hitting something. (among other things, probably) For example, a simple mechanical object would likely have a value of around 0 because its surface wouldn't be very bouncy/soft. Whereas something soft and organic like a human or animal, would have a higher value (usually around 1.5), as they wouldn't instantly 'stop' as they hit something, but rather 'squish', then bounce back a bit.

      • $jointmerge
            About:
            While the command's name implies that it merges joints, it doesn't. It infact merges the collision meshes (objects) that are binded to the specified joints. Joint 2's collision mesh is merged and binded with Joint 1. Remember though, ragdolls can only have one 'convex' collision mesh per joint, this is not a work around for that.

            Outline of Use:
            $jointmerge "(joint1)" "(joint2)"

            Possible Values:
            joint-1 = a joint name
            joint-2 = a joint name

            Examples of Use:
      • $rotdamping
            About:
            Short for Rotational Damping. As the word 'damping' suggests, this command affects how joints will react when hitting their '$jointconstrain' limits. (among other things, probably) For example, a simple mechanical object would likely have a value of 0 because its joints would have no dampeners. Whereas something soft and organic like a human or animal, would have a higher value (usually around 1.5), as their joints wouldn't instantly 'stop' as they reach their limits, but rather bounce back a bit.

            Outline of Use:
            $rotdamping "(value)"

            Possible Values:
            value = 0 to infinite (untested)

        • Examples of Use:
  • $keyvalues
        About:
        Useful for 'prop_physic' entities. Used to define many characteristics of the model. Such as, health, material type, size (defines mass as far as I know) etc. Some of its more interesting uses are seen on the following Half-Life 2 props: explosive barrelThe explosive barrel's $keyvalue properties cause it to set aflame (and then explode) when half or more of its health is lost, explode instantly on contact when thrown with the gravity gun (physcannon), and it has a few other attributes. (health, explosion radius etc.), sawbladeThe sawblade's $keyvalue properties cause it to 'stick' into the world (brushes made in hammer) and spin on its z-axis when thrown with the Gravity Gun. (physcannon), harpoonThe harpoon's $keyvalue properties cause it to 'impale' living NPCs into the wall, stick into the world (brushes made in hammer) and not revolve at all when thrown with the Gravity Gun. (physcannon) and paint canThe paint can's $keyvalue properties cause it to create a paint decal wherever it first has contact with when thrown with the Gravity Gun. (physcannon).

        LODs (Levels of Detail) are usually used for optimisation purposes.

        Outline of Use:
        $lod (distance) { (sub-commands) }

        Possible Values:
        distanceThis distance value is measured in feet. Use Half-Life Model Viewer for an easier way of determining what value to use. (select the 'Model' tab and check the 'Auto LOD' checkbox) = 0 to infinite (untested)

        Sub Commands:
      • bonetreecollapse
            About:
            Collapses joints for performance reasons. When you've specified the joint to collapse from, it then finds all child joints of that joint, finds all bone weight influences they have, then binds them all to the 'specified' joint instead. To explain what this does, if it was used on a tail at the point where it is attached to the waist, (and it had many child joints) it would just bind the entire tail to the specified joint.

            Outline of Use:
            bonetreecollapse "(joint-name)"

            Possible Values:
            joint-name = a joint name

Used to replace textures for performance reasons, such as replacing eyes (that are using the eyes shader) with a 'static' texture with no fancy shaders. However, it could be used for other things, such as a distance measurer. (good for shooting targets)

      • replacebone
            About:
            Quite similar to bonetreecollapse in the way it moves the mesh influence from one joint to another. This command is more specific however. All it does is transfer joint-1's mesh influence to joint-2.

            Outline of Use:
            replacebone "(joint-1)" "(joint-2)"

            Possible Values:
            joint-1 = a joint name
            joint-2 = a joint name

      • replacemodel
            About:
            Used to replace an smd the model is using, with a different smd when you reach a certain distance from the model. Usually used to create LODs (Levels of Detail), so the further away the model gets, the less detailed it is, therefore making it use less resources.

            Outline of Use:
            replacemodel "(reference-smd)" "(ref-replacement-smd)"

            Possible Values:
            reference-smd = an SMD name
            ref-replacement-smd = an SMD name

            About:
            Removes all faces on the target LOD that are using the specified material. Quite useful for removing things you wouldn't see at a distance, such as ammo pouches, glasses, etc. Can also be useful when paired with the 'nofacial' command. For example, with no expressions you can't see the mouth/teeth, so they can be removed.

  • $model
        About:
        I won't go into too much detail, but if you want to know more, check out the tutorial section. There's several SMD types which make up a model. All of which do different things. There's a 'reference' smd, which is what you will see in-game. There's the 'collision/phys' smd which is what you 'feel' in-game (reacts to the environment) and then there's 'skeletal/animation' smds, which tell the model what pose to be in. This $body command tells the model what 'reference' smd to use.

        $model is a more advanced version of the '$body' command. $model makes the model take a tiny bit longer to load compared to using $body, as it has sub-commands such as, flexes (blendshapes, morph targets), eyeballs, eyelids, etc. So if you aren't using any sub-commands, just use $body.

        All model details are generally inside one SMD and loaded from one $body/$model command. However, if you're working on a pre-existing model and, let's say, you wanted to add some glasses to it, then usually the pre-existing flexes will also bend the glasses with them. To solve this, leave the original smd being loaded by the $model command and then make a copy of that SMD, import it into your modelling application, place the glasses where you'd like them to be, delete the rest of the mesh but keep the skeleton and then bind the glasses to the head joint and export. You can then add a $body command loading the glasses smd. What this essentially doing is saying; okay, I've got a body-mesh, with facial expressions, it then adds the other '$body/$model' commands to it. So it will now find the glasses smd, notice they are the same skeleton, sort of 'morph' them into one skeleton and thus the glasses are on the face. But as only the '$model' command holds the flex information, the glasses will not be affected.

        Outline of Use:
        $model "(name)" "(reference-model.smd)"

        Possible Values:
        nameI am unsure what this 'name' refers to, but cannot be that important as I haven't ran into anything related to it yet. Default name for this tends to be 'studio'. = name
        reference-model.smdSet this to the name of the .smd file you wish to load.

        The .smd file extension isn't actually required. The compilers can run just fine without it, but it makes the .qc file easier to read, and without organisation, problems tend to occur.         = an SMD name

        Short for 'Push Directory'. Should your collision model or animation SMD(s) be in a different folder to your QC file, you can tell the QC where to look for them with this command. Should be simple for those of you who are familiar with DOS, command prompt, HTML/PHP etc. All it essentially does is temporarily change the directory to look in for external files. "../" means to go up one directory, i.e "C:/compiling/test/test.qc" will now look for its files in "C:/compiling/". This can be stacked, i.e: "../../". See the examples for a better idea.

        Any VTAs (expressions/blendshapes/morphs) made for the model before the scale will have to be remade! Unsure what effects this command has on animations. (although I believe the new enlarged skeleton will be 'squished' to fit the animation) To fix the eyes, multiply each individual value that appears on the 'eyeball' (See $model > eyeball) command line by the '$scale' value. Then input the new figures.

      • replacematerial
            About:
            Replaces the specified material with another texture. Used to replace textures for performance reasons, such as replacing eyes (that are using the eyes shader) with a 'static' texture with no fancy shaders. However, it could be used for other things, such as a distance measurer. (good for shooting targets)

            Outline of Use:
            replacematerial "(material)" "(replacement-material)"

            Possible Values:
            material = a VMT name only

      • replacemodel
            About:
            Used to replace an smd the model is using, with a different smd when you reach a certain distance from the model. Usually used to create LODs (Levels of Detail), so the further away the model gets, the less detailed it is, therefore making it use less resources.

            replacemodel "(reference-smd)" "(ref-replacement-smd)"

            Possible Values:

Quite useful for removing things you wouldn't see at a distance, such as ammo pouches, glasses, etc. Can also be useful when paired with the 'nofacial' command. For example, with no expressions you can't see the mouth/teeth, so they can be removed.

        About:
        As far as I can remember, this collapses all joints, (so only the joint "static_prop" remains) attachments and anything else related to animations and such. Using this command makes the model load much faster and should be used in collaberation with the '$body' command. Using this command does not force the model to be a "prop_static", it is still capable of being a "prop_physics", "prop_dynamic", etc.
