How it can be fixed ?
it is'nt very hard.
you need milkshape3d and only.

Consider on the example of this model:



Decompile model with Milkshape3D:
Tools - > Half Life -> Decompile Normal HL mdl file

Find .qc file in decompile folder
find in .qc this lines:

$bodygroup studio
{
studio "1"
}

$bodygroup studio
{
studio "2"
}

it show to you what we must import
Import 1.smd and 2.smd
File -> Import -> Half-Life SMD file
Put a check on Triangles and only

We must make model apparts from head to foot [i don't know how to do it true, but i do it so, and it work very well]

Go to:
Model -> Select -> Face, put a check on By vertex




Allocate part of the model, and leave for example the head or part of it
Press Delete (on keyboard)
Then go to: File -> Export -> Half-Life SMD file save for example as PART-1.smd


Then press CTRL+Z , then press CTRL+I , and Delete

You see we have model without head

then again allocate part of the model, and save piecemeal

Like this:



Red lines show how you should divide it into parts


Now we have 4 part's:
PART-1.smd
PART-2.smd
PART-3.smd
PART-4.smd

Edit .qc file

$bodygroup studio
{
studio "1"
}

$bodygroup studio
{
studio "2"
}

$bodygroup studio
{
studio "PART-1"
}

$bodygroup studio
{
studio "PART-2"
}

$bodygroup studio
{
studio "PART-3"
}

$bodygroup studio
{
studio "PART-4"
}

But 1 important thing: we must move 1 part to end, after other part's

$bodygroup studio
{
studio "PART-1"
}

$bodygroup studio
{
studio "PART-2"
}

$bodygroup studio
{
studio "PART-3"
}

$bodygroup studio
{
studio "PART-4"
}

$bodygroup studio
{
studio "PART-2"
}

$bodygroup studio
{
studio "PART-3"
}

$bodygroup studio
{
studio "PART-4"
}

{
studio "PART-1"
}

Compile model:
Tools -> Half-Life -> Compile QC file

That's all, model fixed, try to testing model ingame

p.s. i always make, not less than 3 part's, usually 4-5, if model have many polygon's we can make a very large number of part's (because when you compiling model with part, which have many polygons you get a error with [to many vertixes], in this case you must make part more little)

You can try it on model which i added in attachment

this character model works with all weapon (no sequence bug) - except sg552 ,you can see it :





i did as you wrote
"Then go to: File -> Export -> Half-Life SMD file save for example as PART-1.smd"
but it notice error :
"find vertex with no bone assignment ,please assign all vertices to a bone ! model not exported"
so i can't fix it
