[tweak][L4D/Any?] Open models by double click
1 Attachment(s)
Purpose:
This allows you to open downloaded .mdl files in model viewer (hlmv) by just double-clicking on them. Compatibility: - Windows - L4D1 / L4D2 / Maybe, other games too if you correct all paths Installation: 1. Download archive attached, unpack appropriate folder (l4d1 or l4d2). 2. Move unpacked folder to safe place on PC where you'll not touch/not delete it. 3. Right click on hlmv_loader.vbs => Edit => Change this line: Code:
L4d = "D:\Steam2\steamapps\common\left 4 dead" 4a. For Windows 7 only: - Run As Admin (RMB -> Run as Administrator) the file Assoc_Installer_Win7.bat 4b. For Windows 8/10+ only: - Run any .mdl file - in "Open with..." window => (scroll to bottom) => More Apps => (scroll to bottom) => Look for another App => Browse to unpacked folder and select launcher_Win10.bat - Run any .mdl file again, mark checkbox "Always use this app", select launcher_Win10.bat from the list => OK. - If checkbox "Always use this app" doesn't exist, you shall go a long way:

That's all. Good luck! Dependency: - Authoring Tools should be installed. Details of what the script do:

8guawong, ah, I forgot, Microsoft broke that in Win10.
Download again and point to launcher_Win10.bat when you create an association. Updated. Quote:

this is very useful since hlmv for csgo does not remember the path of last model i'm wondering for csgo should i use l4d1 or l4d2? or it doesn't matter? btw is it normal to take a long time (maybe 10+ sec) to open up hlmv after double clicking? |

It would be good if you share your example that is surely work OK. Quote:
If you open .mdl from some large container (like fully unpacked _dir.vpk) or perhaps, game folder itself, it firstly copy the whole "materials" folder which is huge and the operation is defaulted to "always overwrite", that's why it can takes a lot of time in your case. I'm open on ideas what can be improved and how. |

Very good tool, thank you.
It would be better if you can optimize the opening speed. |
Re: [tweak][L4D/Any?] Open models by double click
fdxx, I don't have performance issues. 1-2 sec. to open max.
What folder are you opening mdl from? If that's the own game's folder, try to open from desktop? Is it solve your issue? If no, try temporarily disable antivirus. Is it help? Try to downoload Crowbar. Go to tab "View": 1. "Game that has model viewer" - select Left 4 Dead 1 or 2. Press "Setup Games" => Select game's steeam folder. 2. Browse... => Select mdl 3. Press "View as Replacement". Is it fast enough? |
Re: [tweak][L4D/Any?] Open models by double click
I opened the .mdl file directly from the desktop. I don't have antivirus.
In my case, after double-clicking the .mdl file, it will stay in the CMD window for about 4 seconds, and then the hlmv software will pop up. Using Crowbar software, it did not improve much. However, I only occasionally check what the model looks like, When I just look at the file name and can’t guess the model. whatever if, it’s enough for me. |
