If you use Propper, do you still need to compile a .qc file?

Like the title says? I packed custom models for a map I made, and it didn't appear inside the bsp. But then someone told me to check the .qc and I didn't know what that meant. Checked the Valve SDK, and they mentioned you needed to compile a model with a .qc file. But does Propper generate a .qc file? Or does Propper generate the .qc file internally? Or what?

I don't know if a .qc file needs to be packed into the bsp, or if the .qc file is just used to compile the model.

Any help is appreciated.

It should be part of your mdl file. You can probably open it up by opening the model file with Notepad++. Not sure if Notepad++ works, I use a hex editor personally.

EDIT:

Notepad++ will let you modify the directory if you open a .mdl file in it. Just change the string where it gives the proper directory, but don't forget to add or remove the null characters so that you don't add or remove bytes.
