What I'd tell you about coming into my Shedd!!!!!!!!

yes it works , though i haven't tried it myself once i manage to understand how it works i'll make a tutorial video about it :p

@@usernamecipherthank you so much

thank you!!

ayy thanks homiee :p

no , valve themselves included the "custom" folder for overwriting ingame models with mods

you probably haven't installed the Modern Casual Preloader , you should install it and follow the given instructions , here's a link to it : gamebanana.com/wips/79779

thank you!!

@usernamecipher 🥰

1 hour for nothing, well to be fair the thing im modding isnt really that good anyway but still sadge

make sure that you have put your .vmt files in the same path specified by the first $cdmaterials for example : if the first $cdmaterials is set to "vgui/replay/thumbnails/textures" , then your vmt files should be in : "materials" -> "vgui" -> "replay" -> "thumbnails" -> "textures" (all vmt files should be in the folder named "textures" with the folder hierarchy specified by cdmaterials) and don't forget to set the $basetexture parameter accordingly!

"VertexlitGeneric" { "$basetexture" "vgui/replay/thumbnails/models/weapons/c_models/w_stickybomb/colorbomb_c" "$bumpmap" "vgui/replay/thumbnails/models/weapons/c_models/w_stickybomb/colorbomb_n" } // Created by Crowbar 0.74 $modelname "\weapons\w_models\w_stickybomb.mdl" $bodygroup "studio" { studio "w_stickybomb_reference.smd" } $surfaceprop "default" $contents "solid" $illumposition 0 0 0 $cdmaterials "vgui eplay\thumbnails\models\weapons\c_models\w_stickybomb\" $texturegroup "skinfamilies" { { "w_stickybomb_red" } { "w_stickybomb_blue" } } $cbox 0 0 0 0 0 0 $bbox -5.984 -5.984 -5.971 5.984 5.984 5.971 $definebone "polymsh1" "" 0 0 0 0 0 89.999982 0 0 0 0 0 0 $sequence "idle" { "w_stickybomb_anims\idle.smd" fadein 0.2 fadeout 0.2 fps 10 loop } $collisionmodel "w_stickybomb_physics.smd" { $mass 5 $inertia 1 $damping 0 $rotdamping 0 $rootbone " " } $collisiontext { break { "model" "\weapons\w_models\w_stickybomb_gib1" "health" "0" "fadetime" "10" } break { "model" "\weapons\w_models\w_stickybomb_gib2" "health" "0" "fadetime" "10" } break { "model" "\weapons\w_models\w_stickybomb_gib3" "health" "0" "fadetime" "10" } } These are my files, my directory is D:\SteamLibrary1\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\custom\CandyCrushColourBomb\materials\vgui eplay\thumbnails\models\weapons\c_models\w_stickybomb

i dont know why it wont work, i did the basetexture think and all unless i missed something

you need to create all vertex groups including those

@@usernamecipher could I dm you? I'm quite confused

@@Holidayloot my discord is "usernamecipher" , i'm not available right now but i'll be there once i get enough time

yes , it's the same procedure for all games :p

@@usernamecipher I love you, I have more questions How to contact at you? thank you and merry chrismas

i seem to have found the solution import the physics model , and delete all the "prp" vertex groups and their assigned vertices then export it and re-compile the model , it fixed it on my end

i don't get what you mean with "no shame , no conscience" , but if you need a link to the Protogen mod , here you go : gamebanana.com/mods/554133 :p

in a worst case scenario you can remove cosmetics entirely for your custom model (i think you can do that by overwriting every dx90/dx80 cosmetic texture with an empty value but i haven't tried it yet) i haven't tried messing with cosmetics yet but if i find a better way to do it i'll make a video about it :p

i tried transferring weights before , but it always needed manual intervention in my case so i just ended up doin' things manually at one point :p

do you mean like detach, the original custom models bone rig from custom models mesh, and attach the tf2 bone to the custom models mesh, and rename all the vertex groups to it's TF2 Bones?

@ no, I mean posing the new model to match the originals pose, Applying the new models pose, Deleting the original models rig and weights/vertex groups, Then transferring the weights of the original one to the new one.

@ is there any um..tutorial for it?

@ the closest is a gmod tutorial

It should work for any model , are you sure that the model that you exported overwrote the original decompiled tf2 model?

🪦

if the model has 4 fingers , match the fingers from the thumb and index onwards (example : if it has 3 fingers and a thumb , then leave the pinky groups empty) to change to the brush in edit mode , press "W" and you'll cycle between many selecting methods

legally speaking i really don't know , sorry x(

@usernamecipher All good. I'm assume if nobody else has access to it and it's just for a private project. The owner might be okay with it as long as they don't post it without permission.

Why do you even ask such question like literally no one would care if you port model just for personal use. It's not like you're making money from it or something

no but seriously this'll help me so much, tysm for this tutorial

People really care about the person before the information of the video?

is renamon your next PM next mod?

@@xj58 potentially yeah , i don't have much time these days but i might make it once i get enough time

“Desktop” “Downloads” “Pictures” “fuck you” lmao

what if medic model?
