TF2 Emporium 58: We put the PRO in procrastinate

[QUOTE=perrryz;43936448]I think he meant you to only bake with the modifier, not to actually use it for your model[/QUOTE]

Oh, I didn't know that was possible.

[otterwolfy]

How's this looking? Trying to get this done today so I can enter the Arms Race.

[QUOTE=gigazelle;43929102]This gun is AMAZING. Forgive my nitpickiness, but the globs appear to be firing from the left side of the gun instead of the center. Regardless, I fully intend to install this as a mod when it's released. So much win[/QUOTE]

The muzzle attachment is right in the middle of the hole at the end so i'm not sure wtf is causing that. It looks like the right most part of the model is aligned with the attachment point or something. Maybe the syringe model does that too, effectively moving it left to increase visibility when shot from 1st person since they are so thin? I can't move the attachment point to compensate or the 3rd person shots and muzzle flash would be off. This is all conjecture by the way, i could have messed something up or it could just be an optical illusion. :words: Does anyone know if it's possible to control the projectile origin like The Original?

[QUOTE=Dat Lobo;43930801]What's funny is that it also replaces crossbow bolts, so you see [B]giant globs of goo[/B] sticking to walls, people, and the tank if so forced.[/QUOTE]

Go on... :v:
I'd really like the goop to splash like jarate upon impact anyway since i think it looks like salmon eggs when they all stick in a bunch. In any case that wouldn't fix it being [i]launched[/i] from the crossbow, so enjoy the goop.

I discovered you can put the item importer preview stuff in the loadout preview which lends itself to interesting possibilities. Basically, it's a miniature in-game HLMV with the same controls. You can pan the camera, zoom, and rotate up/down instead of just left/right. Plus you can even change the light position. When you change items/presets it resets back to the default position/rotation.

You can put this standalone file ([URL="http://steamcommunity.com/groups/tf2hudplus"]part of my custom hud[/URL]) in resource\ui if you want to use it: [URL="https://www.mediafire.com/?4cgbcx8m3f68fm3"]https://www.mediafire.com/?4cgbcx8m3f68fm3[/URL]

This is truly amazing.
I can't wait until valve updates their hud with the team color buttons and roations and angles such as this.

[QUOTE=heinous;43926821]i ran into this problem before.

deleted these from the qc:

$model "shell" "UnknownModelName.smd"
$model "shell" "c_scorch_shot_shell.dmx.smd"

added these instead:

{
blank
studio "<your_shell_model>.smd"
}

this was using a scorch shot decompile via mdldecompiler[/QUOTE]

So attempting this gives me an error - it appears the pasted code is invalid. This is the message the compiler gives:

[quote]
ERROR: c:\users\russ\documents\tf2 models\my exported models smd\blunderbuss\mdldecompiler.qc(4): - bad command {
ERROR: Aborted Processing on '..\custom\Blunderbuss\models\weapons\c_models\c_scorch_shot\c_scorch_shot.mdl'
[/quote]

Here's my qc file:

$modelname "..\custom\Blunderbuss\models\weapons\c_models\c_scorch_shot\c_scorch_shot.mdl"
$model "Body" "c_blunderbuss_flare.smd"
{
        blank
        studio "c_projectile.smd"
}
$cdmaterials ""
$attachment "muzzle" "weapon_bone" 0.00 4.46 19.89 rotate -90.00 -0.00 0.00
$surfaceprop "metal"
$illumposition -3.549 0.000 2.360

$collisionmodel "phymodel.smd" {

	$mass 1.0
	$inertia 1.00
	$damping 0.00
	$rotdamping 0.00
}

Including $model "shell" "c_projectile.smd" does compile properly, however the bullet renders a couple feet behind the pyro where the projectile bone is.

I'm guessing there's some sort of syntax I'm not adding here.

[blaco]

$bodygroup "shell"
{
        blank
        studio "c_projectile.smd"
}

like this

you use this command when you have a section of the model that turns on and off, like huntsman arrows or soldiers helmet

what you are telling it to do with that command is include the projectile model as a mesh called shell, but have it default to an off state, and only turn on when the bodygroup is set to state 2 by hardcoded game information

$model is for including a part of the mesh that will always be present
$body does the same thing but is used for meshes that don't need flexes

If for some reason you don't want that or it doesn't work, here's how you can do it yourself: Edit a file in resource\ui called classloadoutpanel.res with a text editor. From there, find a string that says something along the lines of "allow_rot" under "classmodelpanel". Change "allow_rot" to "allow_manip", and now this feature can be in your own hud. (The team switcher buttons are seperate from this, but you can see the file I linked to see how that is done, too.)

Controls for whoever has not used HLMV:

To change the lighting position, hold CTRL and drag with your Left Mouse Button.
To pan the camera, hold SHIFT and drag with your Left Mouse Button.
To zoom, drag up/down with your Right Mouse Button.
To rotate the camera, drag with your Left Mouse Button, either left/right or up/down.[/QUOTE]

[SgtR007]

Is there a way to force the item importer to accept a second LOD when the base model is <700 tris? I have an item that clips badly with the lod2_playermodel, but I can't make an lod because it's very light of tris.

It works the same way that all the stock SL bombs fit in it's round canister. Yes, it has a handle that he pulls back to pump the tank.
