It's been one week since you looked at me Cocked your head to the side and said, "I'm angry" Five days since you laughed at me saying "Get that together, come back and see me" Three days since the living room I realized it's all my fault but couldn't tell you Yesterday, you'd forgiven me But it'll still be two days till I say I'm sorry Hold it now and watch the hoodwink As I make you stop, think You'll think you're looking at Aquaman I summon fish to the dish Although I like the Chalet Swiss I like the sushi 'Cause it's never touched a frying pan Hot like wasabi when I bust rhymes Big like LeAnn Rimes Because I'm all about value Bert Kaempfert's got the mad hits You try to match wits You try to hold me but I bust through Gonna make a break and take a fake I'd like a stinkin' achin' shake I like vanilla, it's the finest of the flavours Gotta see the show 'cause then you'll know The vertigo is gonna grow 'cause it's so dangerous You'll have to sign a waiver How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad? Trying hard not to smile though I feel bad I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral Can't understand what I mean? Well, you soon will I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve I have a history of taking off my shirt It's been one week since you looked at me Threw your arms in the air and said, "You're crazy" Five days since you tackled me I've still got the rug burns on both my knees It's been three days since the afternoon You realized it's not my fault, not a moment too soon Yesterday, you'd forgiven me And now I sit back and wait till you say you're sorry Chickity China the Chinese chicken You have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin' Watchin' X-Files with no lights on We're dans la maison I hope the Smoking Man's in this one Like Harrison Ford I'm getting frantic Like Sting I'm tantric Like Snickers, guaranteed to satisfy Like Kurosawa, I make mad films 'Kay, I don't make films But if I did they'd have a Samurai Gonna get a set a' better clubs Gonna find the kind with tiny nubs Just so my irons aren't always flying off the back-swing Gotta get in tune with Sailor Moon 'Cause that cartoon has got the boom anime babes That make me think the wrong thing How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad? Tryin' hard not to smile though I feel bad I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral Can't understand what I mean? You soon will I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve I have a history of losing my shirt It's been one week since you looked at me Dropped your arms to your sides and said, "I'm sorry" Five days since I laughed at you and said "You just did just what I thought you were gonna do" Three days since the living room We realized we're both to blame, but what could we do? Yesterday, you just smiled at me 'Cause it'll still be two days till we say we're sorry It'll still be two days till we say we're sorry It'll still be two days till we say we're sorry Birchmount Stadium, home of the Robbie

[@randomidiot656]

This doesnt work for me, the particle just moves and has a mind of its own and I have done this 3 times and double checked that i followed everything correctly each time

[@luigio8484]

same happened for me, you're actually in the wrong file, go back 2 folders, click tf, then particles. at least that's what I do to get it to work.

[@jonathanliu9976]

This is what you want to do to fix that: 1. open particle editor tool 2. click file then open 3. click the "open in explorer" button on the top right of the open window 4. click on "Game" on the top and browse to tf then particles 5. copy all of the files and go back to usermod and then particles and paste. Now, when you press open, all of the particle files will appear.

[@archivemind]

Well you see I was sitting here trying to relax, not really having an intent to do anything in SFM right at this moment and I saw this video in my subscription box, I then proceeded to follow these instructions and make a green medigun beam with rotated large Xes.

[@drez0847]

that hi in the beginning literally blew my speakers

[@Qarcus]

here it is for you if you can't find the muzzle bone... If you instead of using add teamfortress item or the tf folder, you use the tf_movies folder and search medigun there, that is the medigun that has the muzzle bone.

[@aspa3318]

@@Qarcus How do I attach that medigun to medics arms?

[@Qarcus]

@@aspa3318 you would need your medic and your medigun, then while in the motion editor, look at the animation set editor, (on the left side under where you add models) drag the medic onto the medigun, there should be a lock symbol right next to the medigun so while having that highlighted, under procedural which is near the left side, find the slider with the word Zero on it, click it and slide it all the way to the right, you should see the medigun fit right into the medic's hand. And that's it. I hope I explained it clear enough, there are lots of youtube videos that could show how to do it too. Just search "how to lock sfm".

[@MrMyers758]

They have to be 3 letters, and are actually pronounceable as the colour. When you say "blu" it is pronounced the same way as "blue" so "gre" wouldn't work for green, and I don't think any way would without adding all of the letters. At the very least it would have to be "GRN".

[@Deremixproductions]

You mean, why does your project look so grainy? If that is what you mean, that's the ambient occlusion. If you have depth of field turned up to 64 or more, it won't be grainy when you render. But if it's distracting, you can always turn off AO.

[@poopyhead8358]

Wow thanks this was very helpful!

[@placeholder4029]

[@omarz2145]

I wouldn't mind a short where the Medic suffers a constant need to kill to the point where he starts experimenting on his teammates. I wish Valve got the voice acting team involved in SFM though. Something like a soundboard of common phrases. Those stock sounds are getting old now. A man can dream.

[@grazielamink]

some of the official tf2 voice actors have played tf2 in character, and with the sandvich saga and all of that with them all playing their characters, there's probably new lines for you to use in your sfms. 10 years later.

i don't want to be rude, but i think the best tip for you is to go and look into the particle parameters, until you find those that you need to change.
