How to install Sestze's Hip Biased Walking Chip . (<---although I'm not sure if that's the name)

[Floppy]

I watched a few vids in YouTube on how to make a walker and I found Sestze's (did I spell that right?)chip walker. I saw they built bots out of props and I wanted to make it too. but when I downloaded it. it's only a text file(.txt) and I don't know where to put it? some said it should be put in addons folder but some said that it should be put in adv_dupe. please help

PS: sorry for any mistake in where I posted this thread. I'm very new to this site.
PPS: What are the REAL requirements? Because some said it needs some addons before it will take effect. If anyone knows. please help
PPPS:If I posted this on the wrong forums, please direct me to the correct one.

thanks for your attention :D

I believe it's an Expression2 file, which means you need to have Wiremod in order to use it.

[Floppy]

yes, I do have the wiremod. but where do I put the .txt file? I opened it and it looks like some programming/code. I dont understand what it says. I never had knowledge of it. :(

[url=http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1057850]This[/url] thread has BFW_V5, which is a system that doesn't use keepupright and is a lot easier to set up.

Alternatively you could use this chip, which doesn't require a torso or eyepod. It uses a camera controller instead.

does expression2 go with wiremod? cause I cant find it in the datas folder. or is it another independent mod or such?

PS: thanks for the help but I dont know how to use that code >.<

[shadowscion]

If you have never saved an expression 2 chip from within the game, there probably wont be a folder. You will have to make the folder "garrysmod/data/Expression2" and place the text file there.

[Floppy]

ok, thanks. Imma update this if it worked

Edit: okay, I made the expression2 folder, but how would I spawn it? I know it's a chip (like wire Gate). I saw it on a video. but how would I weld it on a prop? I opened up the wire tab in the spawn menu and there's no expression tool. :( I'm very sad about this.

PS : sorry for being such a n00b and asking a lot of questions cause I just started adding addons and mods recently

[editline]21st May 2012[/editline]

damn, I wonder how these other guys pulled it off T.T

[Floppy]

come on, guys. I wont be bothered by a little bump. I just need some little help! -_-

[ramirez!]

I'm going to be brutally honest - If you can't figure out how to get this chip in game, you're not going to be able to figure out how to use it.

[Floppy]

well, there's still youtube. ;)
I just want to ask how to spawn it. D:
then, youtube will help me set up the mech :D

[Cinnamon]

Go into the Wire tab in-game, and up at the top there will be a listing for Expression 2.

If there isn't, you either don't see it, or you installed the game wrong. For the latter, nobody here will be willing to help you correctly install it.
