Try normal mapping
[QUOTE=Cosa8888;43099985]Try normal mapping[/QUOTE]
Thought about it, but also thought it would be a bit overkill. I like normal mapping for cloth better
[QUOTE=NeoDement;43099659]Don't use the item importer for that. It really doesn't produce workable output for valve, what with the missing physics model and it being stuck in the /workshop/player/items folder rather than /weapons/[/QUOTE]
Oh, ok. Thanks for telling me!
I've gotten rid of and forgotten how to use all programs related to compiling 'manually', and even back when I were using them regularly I always managed to mess stuff up with them, so unless someone really badly wants to see this cube-on-a-cylinder released I'll just leave it be and pretend that Valve will make the importer weapon compatible eventually.

just use studiomdl.exe
search for it in your tf2 directory, then drag your qc file onto it. then put the textures in the set place and you should be able to check it in HLMV
then just search for the files in the tf2 directory and copy them out to have everything
just had an encounter with the oh so common ideas guy
[QUOTE]Never tell your password to anyone.
Hawf: hey you mentioned something about workshop stuff
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: i need help
Hawf: ok
Hawf: but first
Hawf: before you go off on this
Hawf: let me go over a few things
Hawf: I need you to understand how the workshop ACTUALLY WORKS
Hawf: you need to know what's been done
Hawf: what CAN be done
Hawf: and what CAN'T be done
Hawf: we have limitations as far as modifications go
Hawf: and there is already a LOT of stuff that has already been done to death
Hawf: that being said
Hawf: lets hear it
Hawf: normally I don't really listen to idea guys
Hawf: and I don't know if I'll be much help to you since I already have my work load full
Hawf: allow me to ask a question
Hawf: have you asked anyone else prior to asking me
Hawf: and if so how many people?
Hawf: ill give you some time to read all that
Hawf: I'm actually working on a rubick set at the moment
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: i dont as anybody to help
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: just you
Hawf: alright then
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: so want see my amotor ideas?
Hawf: I guess
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: so can you give me yor gmail
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: that will be faster
Hawf: I'm already starting to not trust this already
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: a ok
Hawf: asking for my email doesn't bring up a red light I don't know what oes
Hawf: we contributors are not idiots
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: so i must go and upload separate my ideas on tinipic and give you link to see it ok
Hawf: use imgur
Hawf: if you are going to send me image files I want to see them hosted on a trusted website
Hawf: I'm not going to download files from someone I don't know
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: a ok
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: no no
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: no download
Hawf: these are the precautions I have to take you understand
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: tinipic is this ame thing
Hawf: I've never heard of it
Hawf: unless you're talking about tinypic
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: yes
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: [url]http://tinypic.com/[/url]
Hawf: alright
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: this webside
Hawf: just send me an iomage link
Hawf: image*
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: a ok
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: so w8
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: i got 30+ ideas
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: that can take long time
Hawf: more than half of them have already been done
Hawf: just tell me what they are
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: yes i know
Hawf: like describe them to me
Hawf: well if half of them have already been donethen whats the point of them
Hawf: if you're jsut going to spout ideas at me I need you to beable to deliver SOMETHING other than an idea
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: first one
Hawf: lets hear it
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: [url]http://tinypic.com/r/1042csk/5[/url]
Hawf: doesn't fit the setting
Hawf: next
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: [url]http://tinypic.com/r/2u4ljit/5[/url]
Hawf: same thing
Hawf: doesn't fi the setting
Hawf: plus it looks like you just copied ironman armour
Hawf: look I'm not sure I can help you here
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: w8
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: this is first 2 and you dont see my rest of ideas
Hawf: the first 2 is enough for me to know they're not worth my time
Hawf: you know who has ideas?
Hawf: the random boy who can draw or the random girl who can code
Hawf: the difference is those are people who can deliver something
Hawf: ANYTHING
Hawf: but SOMETHING for that idea
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: want see other stuf?
Hawf: no
Hawf: I really need to get back to work
Hawf: show us that you can do the work
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: [url]http://tinypic.com/r/5l2m8l/5[/url]
Hawf: ok personal mechs?
Hawf: really?
Hawf: that is certainly something that can't be done
Hawf: we have plenty of resources on places like facepunch and polycount for people to get started making items
Hawf: so rather than ask a contirubtor to make your ideas for you, I think you should start educating yourself on how to create these yourself
Hawf: anything you are willing to learn you can do
Hawf: I've done pleanty of my own work and seen nothing in return for it
Hawf: it's one of the many hurdles in content creation
Hawf: I hope you understand
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: yes
Hawf: we can't help you unless you are willing to help yourself
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: want see last picture?
Hawf: fine I'll see one more
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: [url]http://tinypic.com/r/20iey2u/5[/url]
Hawf: but I feel like you're missing the point
Hawf: that's jsut the same robot but floating behind pyro
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: all clas misc
Hawf: let me guess
Hawf: it goes around and attacks people
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: no no
Hawf: ok then that solves a lot of problems
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: that is something like robro
Hawf: ah
Hawf: then that's deffinately doable
Hawf: however
Hawf: it'snot something I can really help you with
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: so can you help me witch it
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: [url]http://tinypic.com/r/110w19g/5[/url]
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: all clas hat
Hawf: that's already being worked on by like 3 people
Hawf: anyway
Hawf: that little mech of yours has a bit of promise
Hawf: tell you what
Hawf: I have a great series of video tutorials that might be able to get you started on 3D modelling
Hawf: I want to see you try and make something of it
Hawf: a lot of us tf2 modders gather and talk about our mods here
Hawf: [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1328630[/url]
Hawf: make an account here and start asking for some help on how to get started on making mods and I'm sure you'll be well on your way to modding like the rest of us
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: want see last idea
Hawf: you're not listening
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: i listening
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: start asking people on this page
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: i know
Hawf: ok
Hawf: good
Hawf: then start doing it
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: im try make items in autodesk maya
Hawf: I have a lot of work to do and I can't be here teaching you all this all day
Hawf: maya's a good start
Hawf: keep up with that
Hawf: there are plenty of people here who can help you with that
Hawf: anyway I reallyhave to go
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: bye then
Hawf: I hope you eventually find success with modding
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: and thx for help
Hawf: no problem
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: but plis dont make this idea what i send you
Hawf: I won't
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: i want make to my own
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: thx
Hawf: don't worry
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: want see last picture
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: what you can be interested?
Hawf: it's a very bad thing for people to steal each others ideas
Hawf: so keep your ideas to yourself
Hawf: for now
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: a ok
Hawf: just try and start learning
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: a ok
Saint Lombax Mardok Spartan PL: bye then

then put it in your team fortress 2/bin folder. i think thats how you fix it

Fixed, many many thanks. I think I actually stopped modeling because this error drove me too mad :v:
Also, is the grey player models for misc backpack icons anywhere to be used?
