Yeah well i know this is a bad bump,however i am desperate for help. I am done with the skin and hexing but when i try to open it ingame it crashes my gmod.
Gimp [i]can[/i] open .TGA, but not .VTF Same for 3DS as far as I know. I use VTFEdit to open .VTF textures and export to .TGA To make it a .VTF again, import the .TGA into VTFEdit and save as .VTF I hope this helps any Gimp and 3DS users out.
nice techniques. but if you're interested in creating ur own crap, skinning almost would be as great as modeling!
Thanks... I'll come back later. bump for now though. I'm hoping this gets stickied
Bump for need of sticky.
Hi Sh4d0w! This is a F*cking nice tutorial. I know I'm replying to a thread, that was made 3 years ago, but I'm having a problem. I'm trying to hexx a HL2 citizen, with destination Humans>Group01>male_01.mdl. I change the destination and the name in the top, but when you ask us/me to do this: [QUOTE=sh4d0w;1964189]Go to the bottom of the file (in XVI32) you'll see this: [URL=http://imageshack.us][IMG]http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/7604/xvi32example67ga.png[/IMG][/URL] What we're going to edit this time, is [ player/t_leet ] again but first of all i want to show you something. materials > models > player > t_leet ; This is the path you've used to find your materials and what is inside a folder named [B]materials[/B] in your desktop remember?. look at my picture again. [URL=http://imageshack.us][IMG]http://img226.imageshack.us/img226/5056/xvi32example26up.png[/IMG][/URL] Can you see any resemblance? haha, yes because it's all conected. [I]Note: at the beginning of the hex what we changed was the models path and what we ARE going to change now it's the Materials path Models at first ; Materials at the bottom.[/I] Do the same you've done with the models, "player" into "shadow" and "t_leet" into "sh4d0w". [URL=http://imageshack.us][IMG]http://img475.imageshack.us/img475/4654/xvi32example43md.png[/IMG][/URL] Press save (the flopy disk) and we're done with the models. [/QUOTE] I dont see the same destination at the top, at the bottom (when it's unedited). This is what I see: [IMG]http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/6453/hexxinghelp.jpg[/IMG] So - what do I change then ? Do I even change anything ? I realize I'm 3 years late, but I really need help on this. Please reply back. If not you, then someone else who can help. Thank you in advance.
I am wondering how I edit PCmod skins, i have the SVN version. So do i edit the models in that folder or the ones that are from CSS. I am not sure at all :/
Meh, my internet is being a bish and wont let me download VTFLib for Gimp (well, wont let me on the website) gonna restart my laptop and see if that does any good. Anyways, thanks so much for posting this, its very helpful. I'll let you know how everything goes once I get working on a skin. Again, many thanks =3 [editline]27th April 2011[/editline] The site still isnt working for me, It will every once in a while but I cant get to the page to download VTFLib. Any ideas on the issue? Im suspecting firewall settings but Im not sure... all I know is that its getting very frustrating lol!
