• HL2 Vort Skin?
    13 replies, posted
I begin to miss the rugged, ugly skin the Vortigaunts used to have.If isn't too musch trouble, can someone bring the old skin into garrysmod without replacing the current one? A skin of the Purple HL2 Ep1 Vorts would be nice if that can be used with some strange lighting. Thank you.

It's in the EP2 GCF file, I was looking at it yesterday.
Wasn't there supposed to be a purple Vort in Gmod but something fucked it up? I remember seeing something called "Blue Vort" or along the lines of that
So if I search around in my Episode 2 Content Folder, I should be able to find the old skin?
Yes, but it won't fit the new model. You'll need to extract the old Vortigaunt files from HL2's GCF. It works in GMod; I tried it. Just extract everything named "Vortigaunt" from the HL2 GCF, put it in your gmod folder, and you should be good to go.
I've been wondering for a while, is that skin what's causing this?

So if I extract the old Vortigaunt files from my HL2 GCF, the old vortigaunt Skin or the Purple Skin will work?
[QUOTE=Cows Rule;18018301]So if I extract the old Vortigaunt files from my HL2 GCF, the old vortigaunt Skin or the Purple Skin will work?[/QUOTE] The one in the HL2 GCF is the purple one you're asking about, I don't know where the hell the old one is coming from, that's why I was asking.
So I can just put that in my models & materials folder and it'll just work. Right?
[QUOTE=Cows Rule;18051179]So I can just put that in my models & materials folder and it'll just work. Right?[/QUOTE] Not a clue. Edit: Had a look and no it wont you'd have to rename the VMT file "vortigaunt_sheet" (don't alter anything inside the VMT) and put it in your materials/models/vortigaunt folder. Anyone know what all the proxies are for? (in the vortigaunt_blue.vmt)
K, I'll lok at it in a bit,
Is it possible that the "purple vort" is just a hud change? I know I've played on a map that distorted all colors. And I know there is a hud effect for hammer.
