"unknown bonecontroller link 'Bone02'" Created 2 years ago2022-12-11 15:54:06 UTC by mickeyrat

Hello! I am making a HL1 mod starring Mickey Mouse in it. I've edited Gordon's playermodel on MilkShape 3D, and I've been trying to compile the .qc file on MilkShape, yet it keeps giving me this error.

"************ ERROR **********
unknown bonecontroller link 'Bone02'"

Does anyone know how to fix this error?

Well it's related to the model.

Bone02 that the model has is unknown in the QF. You either used the QF file of another unrelated model or you removed Bone02 in Milkshape which was originally part of your model and therefore listed in the QF file. Best you write or compile the QF file from scratch but I'm uncertain how I always just modified existing ones adding Animations to it nothing more.

It's also possible that Milkshape created this bone as starting Bone. Blender adds a pre defined bone structure as well. You would've to manually remove it in the Program. Why don't you take a look in Milkshape and search for bone02 and see if it's actually part of the model if not delete it.
Half-Life complains if there are bones in a model that are not defined in the QF and vise versa.

I tried removing Bone02 on MilkeShape 3D, but when I removed Bone02 in the .qc file, it worked! I finally compiled the model. Thank you so much for helping me out.

You're welcome. I'm glad it worked out for you.
