Can someone make me this simple model into an addon form for gmod? - Games

In the spytech map of TF2, theres a computer model called computer_screen_bank, and the VTF is a solid gray square. If someone could edit the VTF or turn this into a new model in addon form I'd be grateful. [url]http://i55.tinypic.com/141342s.jpg[/url] The 14 small images go on the small screens, the one large image goes on the largest screen. Two of the images are the same, just flipped, place those 2 images away from each other. In return, You get a "special thanks" credit in my machinima. :D I've tried everything I could on my own, but as soon as I press "compile", the program crashes. Oh and the large greyish rectangle is what the rest of the computer is supposed to be colored

Wait, are you trying to just take that image and put it through vtex? You need to make sure it's a power of 2, and unless the model's UV unwrap is layed out like that, it will still be gray. You need to take each image, put it to the nearest power of 2, and compile them seperately. I would recommend VTFEdit, as it's easier to use than vtex.

He wants you to add it to a model of some screens.

I tried using 3DSmax to unwrap and put the screens to the right spots. I did that, but I can't do anything after that because the compiler crashes whenever I try.

If anyone is going to do this for me, please say so, I'd rather not have you post my model after I abandon this thread.

Just add the screens to the material file. Export it as a TGA with VTFEdit, then open it in GIMP or something.

Do you want us to texture the model and add the screens or what exactly?

More importantly, why didn't OP just take in-game shots instead of making bad poses?

I was about to say, surely you could just add the screens to the model's textures. Just do that.

I don't see why the screens don't have render target on them. (if that's it's real name) It makes the game a little more immersive, but I guess it would be a little distracting. Still it might be one to try.

Okay, for all the comments that say "Just add the screens to the materials file" How am I supposed to position the screens if the material file is a solid gray square with no reference points? Yes I want you to texture the model by adding the images onto the screen, because I have no idea how to do that if the material file is a solid gray square. I didn't take in game screenshots because I need the screenshots of the ragdolls I posed for MY machinima. You'll understand once its finished. And as for the above comment, I have no idea what render target is.

It can't be that texture. It must be named somewhat else. I'm having a look in the gcf. [editline]08:19PM[/editline] How does that computer look like? Give me a screenshot of it.

I'll send one soon, But it's in the TF2 gcf not the Gmod one. It's a screen with 1 large screen and 14 smaller monitors.

What's the name of the model?

Tf2 materials gcf > models > spytech > computer screen bank From memory, this is the more or less pathway to the material file for the screens [editline]07:17PM[/editline] Computer_screen_bank I have the .mdl file, that name should be correct.

If you have the name, just spawn it in gmod and send the screenshot.. I don't have gmod installed right now, and I'm busy.

Why do you need to see the screens?

Because I don't know how the computer looks! That could make it easier to find the texture.

I'll get you an image soon enough, are you interested in texturing this for me?

That's a cool looking map.

Its 2fort_engiepowered. It's a great map. [img]http://i53.tinypic.com/142tvs5.jpg[/img] This is the screen, and what I would like it to look like after its been textured. [editline]08:44PM[/editline] The bottom is how it appears ingame.

Damn i know i worked on that at some point, had animated textures with some screens off showing noise and so on. Had a video of it on youtube... Actually i found it! [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvYHsvp5z3s[/media] Might find download link somewhere later.

Holy craphole. Please good sir would you find that model for me. I would love you forever

I have found them hidden away in the depths of my TF2 materials, i remember something was very wrong with skin groups or something causing it to crash hammer and game so i might need to recompile the model. You will have to wait a while until i'm back from work though.

How long is a while? Not that I mind, as long as I get them I'll be happy. :D [editline]06:39PM[/editline] And just in case this thread dies, my email is [email]dragon_mystic25@hotmail.com[/email]

Try to find someone who can recompile the model for you with my skins. I can't at the moment. Anyway here is the model.
