[QUOTE=swampie;21717046]Still saves as a txt[/QUOTE]Then just rename the file from .py.txt to .py

Still, no one answer my questions, when I compress the final video it just goes after 100% and never stops, any help? :saddowns:

[QUOTE=DemonV3.0;21717330]Still, no one answer my questions, when I compress the final video it just goes after 100% and never stops, any help? :saddowns:[/QUOTE]In Source Filmmaker or some other program? If it is SFM make sure you have sv_cheats set to 1.

Ok, here's what you do (@swampie): 1. Open IDLE (Python GUI) 2. Click File->New Window 3. Copy the code into this 'Untitled' window 4. Click File->Save As... 5. Browse to the directory you extracted the materials folder from the GCF to 6. Click 'All files (*.*)', then choose 'Python and text files (*.py, *.pyw, *.txt)' 7. Type 'lowerVTFVersion.py' into the File name box (no quotes) 8. Click Save. 9. Click Run->Run Module 10.The IDLE window will reselect and tell you what directory it will affect. Confirm this is correct, then press enter. 11.Sit back and wait. Really simple. Changed 1738 / 4479 files for me. I'm just about to try running some maps with this, but that should be it.

It looks like it worked will test after i eat :snack:

As it turns out, this doesn't seem to work favourably with player models: [img]http://thefwcentral.com/upload/content/images/tf2_scoutTextureErrorbb3d40b.jpg[/img] Or demo's grenades. Might apply to soldier's rockets, too (haven't tested that yet). However, it's working great for buildables and maps! Oh, a problem I'm encountering (unrelated): Every so often it stops letting me change class/team, which forces me to reload the map to fix. Is there something I could be doing that's causing this?

I will test now [editline]07:33PM[/editline] Food was good btw [editline]07:34PM[/editline] Maybe try removing the player textures? [editline]07:38PM[/editline] [IMG]http://filesmelt.com/dl/sheet1.PNG[/IMG] hey look, The door textures work :smith: [editline]07:39PM[/editline] think i broke it [editline]07:42PM[/editline] Help me...

Do that again and then change their version.

and mine? [editline]07:50PM[/editline] i didn't copy them right :embarrassed: [editline]07:50PM[/editline] And would it work with models? [editline]07:52PM[/editline] Oh man oh god oh man oh god beta style skins and the beta light warp :jizz: [editline]07:58PM[/editline] Two problems: [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/smith.PNG[/img] [editline]07:58PM[/editline] And the saws are shiny

[QUOTE=swampie;21718216]Two problems[/QUOTE]Read post #128, type mat_specular 0 to console I don't know why the saws are shiny.

Ok Thanks

I had to reinstall SFM due to me fucking around with the files too much and making it unable to load. :downs:

I managed to break it again! :v: [url=http://thefwcentral.com/upload/content/images/tf2_sfmFloatingError721e377.jpg][img]http://thefwcentral.com/upload/content/images/tf2_sfmFloatingError721e377_t.jpg[/img][/url] I've seen floating hands in other people's videos, but never quite as bad as this. Anyway, problems so far: [list][*]Buttons to change class/team stop working [*]Tools mode stops responding after clicking Browse when trying to save posters (can still run around in game if I feel like it). This seems to suddenly fix itself, not sure why. [*]The first few seconds of the first recording don't take - I can't scrub back to them. [*]The usual multi-doors/items deal. [*]Round timers are getting annoying, as are respawn timers (to a lesser extent).[/list] Overall it's neat to use, but still clearly a beta product. Also, thanks for the link Ukuku. I'll be looking to install that shortly.

[QUOTE=Metroid48;21718970] [list][*]Buttons to change class/team stop working [B]- Strange, I've never had or heard of this problem. Try jointeam blue/red, and join_class?[/B] [*]Tools mode stops responding after clicking Browse when trying to save posters (can still run around in game if I feel like it) [B]- I used to have this bug, no idea what fixed it though.[/B] [*]The first few seconds of recording don't take - I can't scrub back to them. [B]- The recording only starts after the four beeps, incase you've been recording before they end.[/B] [*]The usual multi-doors/items deal. [B]- Unfixable, AFAIK.[/B] [*]Round timers are getting annoying, as are respawn timers (to a lesser extent). [B]- ent_fire team_round_timer pause[/B] [/list] [/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Darkomni;21719018]*Stuff*[/QUOTE] Thanks for the quick response! [list][*]That works, though it requires manually using kill to take effect (for team changes at least). Didn't realize there were commands aside from changeteam and changeclass, so thanks! [*]I guess I'll just go with default save locations. [*]I didn't even notice the beeps, so that fixes that problem! [*]I was just thinking about the spawn door thing - assuming that you have only one person who's supposed to control the door, couldn't you use ent_fire in all the other recordings to force the doors open? Or to delete them, along with the extra pickups? Not ideal, but better than nothing. [*]I could have sworn I had the ent_fire one in my autoexec - oh well, another problem down![/list] Anyway, continuing testing.

Gonna record some stuff in goldrush and post a video in a minute.

I've got a Hamachi group going as FP-SFM:pacefunch. Join if you want. [editline]05:58PM[/editline] By the way, does anyone know a way to change the camera fov?

Scrolling the mouse wheel while holding left mouse button down seems to work - haven't actually rendered anything yet though.

Nevermind, found out. [editline]06:02PM[/editline] Thanks anyway.

To some people talking above me. To fix the multiple doors/medkits, everything, you have to animate them away or untick record world, but then the player model won't show up either. Btw the recording does start as soon as you enter the game, also before the beeps have sounded, just pull the timeline thing back a little.

Guys, how do you render only one screenshot with changeable resolution - is there option for it or I have to make movie, then take screenshots from it?

[QUOTE=TheDKer;21721260][IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1650946/howto.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] Off topic but, what is your avatar ? I'm sure I've seen that thing somewhere...

about the multi door thing ent_fire ___ kill?

This is a revolutionary week for Source Film Maker. Modern maps and skins, dynamic lighting, how to move a camera without a person and fluid animation. Fluid animation is quite VERY simple and cheap. 1. High light the area you want to animate in (might want to leave an extra second or two) 2. Select a bone 3. Select the manipulation tool 4. Play the clip, and as it is playing, move the bone. [b]It will record the movement[/b] 5. Smooth it and enjoy. :V

We need some more video tutorials to give us (at least me :v:) a better understanding of this shit.

[QUOTE=Chunk3ym4n;21722974]How do you make more than one env_projectedtexture?[/QUOTE] Simply do the tutorial I posted earlier multiple times.

[QUOTE=TheDKer;21721260][img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1650946/howto.png[/img][/QUOTE] I have no idea how it works When I use "export", it isn't even doing anything - there is nothing exported, window just turns off step-by-step tutorial?
