Decompiling a source model with animations intact?

[FMPONE]

Hey guys, so there is a source model fairgrounds_flagpole from L4D that I'm trying to recompile with a new texture, with animations in-tact. Is that possible? Do we know how to do that?

After decompiling, edit the qc file to change/add the material you want in.

If you don't have a decompiler, just found out about Crowbar, which seems to be a new thing around and the only decompiler that's updated in years (older ones might not work with the current version of models apparantely).
