How To Make TF2 Look Better Through A Simple Console Command - Games

[QUOTE=killz2much]That's nice, I gotta try that. [b]EDIT:[/b] Okay, I did it and it does work. However, the face posing seems to be toned down a lot do to the command. The upper part of the face stays dull and boring and sometimes the mouth doesn't fit well to the taunt. (Engineer laughing and the Demoman burping are good examples.) [img]http://www.filecram.com/files/prosandcons.jpg[/img] Kinda makes the game dull since the upper part of the face never moves... the over exaggerated facial expressions which give the game that funny cartoon feeling to it gets replaced by dull face posing.[/QUOTE] hwm models don't do flexes in thirdperson, was that where you took those pics? I never find the flexes to be bad, in fact they seem better in game. also make sure to use hwmvcd's.

It's a console command, you have to use HWM models and HWM VCD's, or stuff breaks. It's similar to the first command, the auto-command lister thingy in the console should show it.

[QUOTE=Butthurter]Why is there HDR in a map with DOG that seems to be using the old ridiculously ugly Environmental cubemap shaders?[/QUOTE] I think he forgot to type in buildcubemaps when playtesting his map.

[QUOTE=Rusty100]The low FPS is because mat_queue_mode 2 renders my screenshots completely black so I had to turn it off :([/QUOTE] 60~ FPS is low? >.>

I can't be the only one with this problem, but the face posing in TF2 doesn't work. So when I taunt, it's a blank face talking. And the objects don't work either, like the soldier's rocket. it just stays in one hand.

[QUOTE=Butthurter]It is. HWM was meant to give players the detailed playermodels. In fact, I even use HWM models to pose Team Fortress 2 ragdolls in GMod. Is it a console command, or is it just to extract the HWM vcds from the GCF?[/QUOTE] How's it done in Gmod?

[QUOTE=POLOPOZOZO]60~ FPS is low? >.>[/QUOTE] For me it is, I should be getting 120 there. Anyway, I tried those cinematic face shit in an actual server. Pretty much an insta crash. :(

It works the best with TF2 stuff. I tried it in Gmod and the TF2 props were more detailed than the original HL2 props.

[QUOTE=Rusty100]For me it is, I should be getting 120 there. Anyway, I tried those cinematic face shit in an actual server. Pretty much an insta crash. :([/QUOTE] What? Using HWM models and VCDs didn't make mine crash.

When I'm on my own server with no people it's fine. On a server with players it crashes after 5 seconds :(

[QUOTE=Rusty100]When I'm on my own server with no people it's fine. On a server with players it crashes after 5 seconds :([/QUOTE] Hmm. I don't have a clue, but a wild guess it might be some sort of peculiarity with your GFX card.

It could be a clash with my mat_queue_mode 2, I'm not sure.

Maybe, I'll give it a try. [b]Edit:[/b] Yup, you're right.

Ahh fuck sake, hurry up and include better multicore support already VALVe.

[QUOTE=i_speel_good]HOLY FUCK THAT'S SO NEXT-GEN[/QUOTE] NO! Where is the gray and brown filter and the bloom rape?!

I've been doing this since the episode one engine. Damn you for stealing my thread idea.

If you want to see difference between -1 and -10, choose soldier, take a picture of -1 with his rocket launcher and then a picture with -10. The textures on the rocket launcher and his arm are much more clearer with -10.

There really isn't any difference for me...

From what I know from source engine, and the name of this command, this just tell what is the biggest/smallest [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mipmap]mipmap[/url] to use, making textures "look" better or worse, but be careful, you don't want to your video card to render a full resolution texture where you cannot even compare with the low-res version, causing low framerates unnecessarily.

Butthurter, how do you get the BLU playermodels? Only RED shows up for me, even in browse. [b]Edit:[/b] Faceposing is way better with the HWM models too

mat_queue_mode 2 Makes my game lag every 2 seconds, so I turned it to 1, it made it crash every 5 minutes I got a Dual Core CPU, why is it doing that?

Is it possible to get this working in non sv_cheats server?

Er... can someone now please summarize what commands you need to use to get the best graphics possible with the best performance possible with those graphics on a dualcore processor, XP, 2GB RAM, GeForce 8800GTX rig? :D
