We're Sorry, the Pte Jack you're trying to contact is not available at this time. Please check the profile and try again, or ask your SysOP for assistance. This is not a recording.

As I always say: "A day is wasted only if you don't learn or discover something new during it."

This is a trait I learned during my 25 years of Service to my Great Country, Canada!

I check the profiles of anyone that submits a Friend Request and do not accept requests from Level 0, Private Accounts (unless you add a comment telling me why you're FRing me below) or from people that have nothing in common with what I do.

I do not trade, so if your FRing me for that or just because you want to increase your Friends List, don't bother! I have enough on my plate as it is.

If you have question, have friend status and I don't respond immediately, I am either helping someone else, working on a project of my own or I'm AFK. Just message me and ask the question and I'll get back to you when I can.

Also, I go through my Friends List frequently and unfriend ppl that I have heard from in some time. If I have friended you and you find that I am no longer on your list, resubmit the FR request if you need help.

For those who unsure about my User Name, here's the break down...

Pte is an abbreviation for Private, not Pete, Peter, or misspelled Pet.

Privates are the workhorses of the military. If you want something done, the call is always, "PRIVATE, GET OVER HERE!"

So looking for me to take a Commission to Officer or be promoted, forget it. There's no time to be lazy or idle during life.

My alter ego name Jack, represents "Jack of all Trades".

I always learn just enough to get me through something, I hardly specialize in anything but always seek knowledge and learn new things every day.

I still don't know what the bloody quota is and why it's so low as to not let me upload anything to the SFM workshop, if it has something to do with the cloud data then that's ass because I can't delete that

Confirmed, SourceIO will import the shapekeys if they exist in the .mdl file, however the name and underscore problems still persists.

Garabatowo, if you decompile the SFM model using Crowbar, the flex keys are coded into the qc if any exist. when importing the model into Blender, import it is using the QC. This will set up the shapekeys in Blender. Now there is a problem with the HWM head flex names, if the name exceeds a certain length (I think it's 63 characters) the name is truncated in Blender which breaks tthe shape. Anorher problem is that if a shapekey has an Underscore in the name like shape_key_name, then Blender considers that a corrective shape. If you use SourceIO to import the .mdl file, I believe that brings the shapekeys into Blender correctly.

I know you're a busy person and that you've contributed a lot to this SFM and Blender community, I just have one question!

In all this time you've been porting models from SFM to Blender, is there any way to import the models without breaking their Shapekeys?

That's all, see you later! I hope to hear back if you get the chance. :steamhappy:
