I am trying to convert the alien slave model into a player model, but when I view it over lan, it is floating in mid air and doesn't animate the walking; all it does it float from place to place and doesn't even move. Any way to fix this? Any tutorials for modelling?

The problem with using the islave model as a player model is that it lacks proper animations for HL multiplay. Use HLMV (link on links page) to see this model out of the game and to look at it's animation names; compare it to that of the player models and you'll find they're different.

You need to create new animations for DM play if you want it to work properly, or decompile the model, and hack the qc to rename the animation references (smds) to DM ones. There's a tutorial on modelling and simple qc hacking on this very site.

For more advanced modelling tutorials and help, the good folks at the Half-Life Improvement Team may be able to help you out. (Be sure to register for the forums and check out all the stickies in the 'Help Desk' forum for some good tips and tutorials.)

you could also hack teh bones right out of a player model and just assign the alien slave's groups to teh olayer's bones.
would take 10 minutes.
