Adding player models to TTT PointShop

[Pink Raccoon]

I've just added PointShop to my server and I've been trying to add player models to it.
I managed to add a couple of them, one being [URL="http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=175697854"]Daedric Armour[/URL], and the other [URL="http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=238855334"]Obama[/URL](links to workshop).

But I've stumbled upon some that aren't as simple as the ones mentioned above, like [URL="http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=219267230"]Atlas[/URL]. It has more then one .mdl file and I don't really know what to do...

Here's some of the code I have:

This is in the Pointshop folder.

ITEM.Name = 'Atlas'
ITEM.Price = 9000
ITEM.Model = 'models\bots\survivor_mechanic.mdl'

function ITEM:OnEquip(ply, modifications)
if not ply._OldModel then
ply._OldModel = ply:GetModel()
end

timer.Simple(1, function() ply:SetModel(self.Model) end)
end

function ITEM:OnHolster(ply)
if ply._OldModel then
ply:SetModel(ply._OldModel)
end
end

This one is in Portal 2 Atlas Playermodel/lua/autorun

if(SERVER) then

player_manager.AddValidModel( "Atlas", 				"models/bots/survivor_mechanic.mdl" )
player_manager.AddValidHands( "Atlas", "models/bots/arms/v_arms_mechanic_new.mdl", 0, "00000000" )
end

list.Set( "PlayerOptionsModel",  "Atlas", 			"models/bots/survivor_mechanic.mdl" )

--// File Generated By Fox-Warrior's Resources Generator Version 2.06 \\--

if (SERVER) then
	resource.AddFile( "models/survivors/anim_mechaniz.mdl" )
	resource.AddFile( "models/bots/survivor_mechanic.mdl" )
	resource.AddFile( "models/bots/survivor_mechanic.dx80.vtx" )
	resource.AddFile( "models/bots/survivor_mechanic.dx90.vtx" )
	resource.AddFile( "models/bots/survivor_mechanic.phy" )
	resource.AddFile( "models/bots/survivor_mechanic.vvd" )
	resource.AddFile( "models/bots/survivor_mechanic.vtx" )
	resource.AddFile( "models/bots/arms/v_arms_mechanic_new.mdl" )
	resource.AddFile( "models/bots/arms/v_arms_mechanic_new.dx80.vtx" )
	resource.AddFile( "models/bots/arms/v_arms_mechanic_new.dx90.vtx" )
	resource.AddFile( "models/bots/arms/v_arms_mechanic_new.vvd" )
	resource.AddFile( "models/bots/arms/v_arms_mechanic_new.vtx" )
	resource.AddFile( "materials/models/survivors/mechanic/ballbot_frame.vtf" )
	resource.AddFile( "materials/models/survivors/mechanic/ballbot_frame_normal.vtf" )
	resource.AddFile( "materials/models/survivors/mechanic/ballbot_shell.vmt" )
	resource.AddFile( "materials/models/survivors/mechanic/ballbot_shell.vtf" )
	resource.AddFile( "materials/models/survivors/mechanic/ballbot_shell_normal.vtf" )
	resource.AddFile( "materials/models/survivors/mechanic/bot_eye_lights.vmt" )
	resource.AddFile( "materials/models/survivors/mechanic/bot_eye_lights.vtf" )
	resource.AddFile( "materials/models/survivors/mechanic/bot_eye_ring_lights.vmt" )
	resource.AddFile( "materials/models/survivors/mechanic/bot_eye_ring_lights.vtf" )
end

Not really sure if there's more to it then just these 2 files, or if I made some mistake in the code, but the model won't even show up in the PointShop.

What exactly is the issue? Also, if this is for TTT, you can delete

if(SERVER) then

player_manager.AddValidModel( "Atlas", 				"models/bots/survivor_mechanic.mdl" )
player_manager.AddValidHands( "Atlas", "models/bots/arms/v_arms_mechanic_new.mdl", 0, "00000000" )
end

list.Set( "PlayerOptionsModel",  "Atlas", 			"models/bots/survivor_mechanic.mdl" )

Try either MDL. There's only 2 of them the rest are materials for it. See if one works if not try the other.

[Pink Raccoon]

The problem was the model wouldn't show up in the PointShop, but I figured what the problem was...

Apparently when copied directly from FTP the little "/" comes as "\", so I had it messed up here:

ITEM.Model = 'models\bots\survivor_mechanic.mdl'

But its fine now... Though I wonder how can I make the model not reset after every round start?

Also is there a way to see the model's hands in first person? In the example I used there seems to be models for the hands...

resource.AddFile( "models/bots/arms/v_arms_mechanic_new.mdl" )

That's probably the hands model right there now that I look at it.

As for round reset do this:

"Go to player_ext.lua,then remove or comment out line 271"

From someone having the same problem in 2013. This is smithy285's post not mine just quoting it for you.

[Pink Raccoon]

I thought that could be the it, but I have no idea on how to add it to the model so it shows up in my server...

Thanks for the fast replies as well :smile:

Do NOT do that. The file has completely changed and will just mess up the gamemode.

Use forward slashes. Back slashes are escape characters.

Yeah, I noticed line 271 was an if sentence, but then I looked at line 272:

hook.Call("PlayerSetModel", GAMEMODE, self)

I thought commenting that out would work, but it didnt change a single thing in-game... So I still don't know how to make models stop resetting.

[QUOTE=code_gs;45728823]FastDL or WorkshopDL.[/QUOTE]

I have the files in my server and everything, but no where in the code its indicating its using the arms .mdl file:

ITEM.Name = 'Atlas'
ITEM.Price = 9000
ITEM.Model = 'models/bots/survivor_mechanic.mdl'

[c👌de_g🎷]

I believe I'm misunderstanding your issue; what exactly is the problem?

Now, same pic, firstperson:

There is a model for the hands in the folder it seems, how do I make it work?

[Rubat]

Call Player:SetupHands() after changing his player model.

[c👌de_g🎷]

Run this code shared.

hook.Add( "PlayerSetHandsModel", "AtlasHands", function( ply, ent )
   if ( ply:GetModel() == "models/bots/survivor_mechanic.mdl" ) then
      timer.Simple( 1, function() ent:SetModel( "models/bots/arms/v_arms_mechanic_new.mdl" ) end )
   end
end )

[QUOTE=Robotboy655;45729116]Call Player:SetupHands() after changing his player model.[/QUOTE]

Depends if the creator tied the hands to the model.

[Rubat]

[QUOTE=code_gs;45729149]Depends if the creator tied the hands to the model.[/QUOTE]

Pretty sure he did:

player_manager.AddValidModel( "Atlas", 				"models/bots/survivor_mechanic.mdl" )
player_manager.AddValidHands( "Atlas", "models/bots/arms/v_arms_mechanic_new.mdl", 0, "00000000" )

OP should replce this:

if(SERVER) then

player_manager.AddValidModel( "Atlas", 				"models/bots/survivor_mechanic.mdl" )
player_manager.AddValidHands( "Atlas", "models/bots/arms/v_arms_mechanic_new.mdl", 0, "00000000" )
end

list.Set( "PlayerOptionsModel",  "Atlas", 			"models/bots/survivor_mechanic.mdl" )

With this though:

player_manager.AddValidModel( "Atlas", 				"models/bots/survivor_mechanic.mdl" )
player_manager.AddValidHands( "Atlas", "models/bots/arms/v_arms_mechanic_new.mdl", 0, "00000000" )

[editline]18th August 2014[/editline]

list.Set( "PlayerOptionsModel", ... ) is [B]no longer used for more than a year.[/B]

   end
end )

[/QUOTE]

Which file should I be adding that to exactly? The one in the poitshop folder, or the lua/autorun in the player model folder?

Also, bare in mind I have very little knowledge in coding... No idea what [QUOTE=RobotBoy655]Call Player:SetupHands() after changing his player model.[/QUOTE] means.

[c👌de_g🎷]

Put this in a lua/autorun file:

player_manager.AddValidModel( "Atlas", "models/bots/survivor_mechanic.mdl" )
player_manager.AddValidHands( "Atlas", "models/bots/arms/v_arms_mechanic_new.mdl", 0, "00000000" )

hook.Add( "PlayerSetHandsModel", "PostSetupHands", function( ply, ent )
   timer.Simple( 3, function() ply:SetupHands() end ) -- Run after a delay to override anything else setting the hand model
end )

[QUOTE=code_gs;45729846]Put this in a lua/autorun file:

player_manager.AddValidModel( "Atlas", "models/bots/survivor_mechanic.mdl" )
player_manager.AddValidHands( "Atlas", "models/bots/arms/v_arms_mechanic_new.mdl", 0, "00000000" )

hook.Add( "PlayerSetHandsModel", "PostSetupHands", function( ply, ent )
   timer.Simple( 3, function() ply:SetupHands() end ) -- Run after a delay to override anything else setting the hand model

[/QUOTE]

Did that, got this in console:

MDLCache: weapons\arms\v_arms_mechanic_new.mdl needs to be recompiled
Requesting texture value from var "$basetexture" which is not a texture value (material: trails/tube)
Requesting texture value from var "$basetexture" which is not a texture value (material: trails/tube)

[editline]18th August 2014[/editline]

More urgent now would be the model reset at round start though...

[c👌de_g🎷]

Contact the author about that first issue. As for the second issue, a lot of things could be causing that. Just put the SetModel in a timer to make sure it gets set last.
