If it's still not working try to switch around. Sometime it will work for sure.

You open Studiocompiler, go to Decompiler. Exit the programm to have the decompiler as your start window.
Restart the program (start window must be decompiler now). Now switch over to Material Compile. Now switch back to Decompiler. Select your model, change the output path and Extract.

I'll tell you what you can do next, you can hit the edit button instead of triple-posting.

And for the record, find the decompiled files and open the QC file with any text editor. Change the $modelname, and using the existing bit about skins as a template add your own. Then recompile the model using GUIStudioMdl and the edited QC file.

Oke i have that QC and also add model name.
and now?

Did you add a skin in the QC file?

Anyway, it appears as though the skin function in QC files has changed in Portal 2, or at least for the sphere model. I'm not quite sure what to do with the .preprocess\ line, it may tie into code somehow. Let me do a bit more research.

Personality core skins are loaded and controlled by the npc_personality_core entity. It swaps them around manually in code from various eye files depending on core type and targetname.

Yeah, I knew you could select the skins in the entity; that explains the preprocess line. So then is it impossible to add new skins with the model used by npc_personality_core (using a completely separate model required instead), or is it possible with some FGD modification?
