You need to opt into the beta for the sdk tools. They are seperate now. Once you do this it will install .bat files into common\team fortress 2\ bin. You need to run the set env var bat, then you can launch the hlmv.bat. If the bat files error out, execute them from an elevated command prompt

EDIT:

Actually never mind, still getting the error even after opting in. I verified both SDK and Tf2, restarted steam and even re-downloaded the SDK... Again.

Help?

Here's something I've been working on for awhile now. Just recently added the cuff and I've been trying to come up with a good design for the team color on the shoulders. Any crit is appreciated!

It sounds like you are still trying to use the SDK launcher. With the update everything is launched through .bat files. The screen grabs go through the steps. First you opt in, then find the .bat files. You will most likely receive an error if you just double click the file. I recommend that you run then in an elevated command prompt. First you need to run the set env var .bat and then you can execute HLMV.bat.

So here is a wip of my completely unplanned hat, the ten gallon toaster. Need to finish the textures, and then set up a jiggle bone so the toast will bounce up and down:

Very nice, and comical. Like where this is going.

Speaking of jigglebones, I'm working on some grenade replacements for the soldier (and due to what Blender deems "non-manifold geometry" I had to delete and rework parts of it) and I attached a jigglebone to one of the parts. While everything is assigned and it acknowledges it as a jigglebone, GUIStudioMDL has in its log "jigglebone "jiggle 2" unused" and it won't work in HLMV, meaning something went wrong. What could I have done? The bones are the soldier's grenade ones, one for attachment, and the actual jiggle bone.

Thanks! I just submitted it, just waiting for my jiggle bone video to upload. How does the jiggle bone look in your qc? To me it sounds like it is wither a weight issue, a bone linkage issue, or a problem in the qc.

Well the jiggle bone part of qc looks fine to me, but where are the rest of the bones? Maybe try taking GUIstudioMDL out of the equation and try compiling it directly in studioMDL on the command line. Looking at the ornaments for the soldier it has grenade bones, and those are linked to some spine bones. Are your jiggle bones linked to the grenade bones?

PootyforNicky · Jun 2013

Oh, yes, they are linked to the grenade bones but just those. Not the spine bones. I'll go see what I can do.

EDIT: No dice adding the spine bones. I'll just do without jiggle for the time being then, since I want to first get this out and finish an early version.

For now:

Okay, now I'm getting a new error...

I've compiled my watch, but the texture isn't showing up and I have no idea why.

You haven't put anything in your $cdmaterials line, no wonder it can't find the texture if you're not telling it where to look.

List of things I never want to do again.

#1: this fucking jacket.

At least I had the forethought to UV each piece as I went along instead of waiting until the end like a huge stupid. I suspect rigging it will be an exercise in frustration, though.

Wish me luck!

Just submitted my first ever workshop item :poly122:

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=151948214

I decided to forego my earlier weapons from the contest and go with something comparably simpler just to start.

I got it to glow and have transparency, now I'm wondering if it can be made paintable too, ideas?

Hey everybody! Lets play the most fun game in the world! "Match the Pinstripes"!

@heinous For a first, it's not bad. Simple, but cute and oddly fitting. Not sure why you made it glow, though, doesn't seem to do much for it.

Good luck!

heinous · Jun 2013

Mainly I just wanted to test out this method of causing glow. Instead of using an alpha channel and adding "$transparent" "1" into the vmt, I just went to the very top of the vmt and changed "VertexlitGeneric" into "UnlitGeneric." Bam, instant glow effect leaving the alpha channel free for transparency. Now I know an item can do both in the future, and to undo it, I just change the one word in the vmt back. Still have not figured out how to do transparency and paintability together though.

But man, that's.... a lot.... of pin stripes.

When I edit my submission from within the game, a popup comes up saying "Your content may not be compatible with the current version of the import tool. Please verify and update your content." I have tried using the import tool but it doesn't have the option to import additional style vtf's, so I manually added those into the zip file. I also manually typed some effect changes in the vmt but those show up just fine in the sdk model viewer. Is that popup going to be a problem?

Masich · Jun 2013

Guys, I need a bit of help rigging my jacket.

I'm trying to rig it over the top of the Cut Throat Concierge skeleton, seeing as that seems most similar and it gave me a basis to skin mine on. So far, I've (hopefully) skinned everything to the right bones, but now I'm getting a different problem: Compiling it.

Firstly, I'm not sure if I should be exporting this thing as a reference or an animation SMD (using Max 2012, by the way) and secondly, I'm using the QC I got from the Concierge as a base for my own QC. Here's what it looks like so far:

When I attempt to compile, my log comes up with this error:

ERROR: cannot find bone bip_spine_0 for bbox
ERROR: Aborted Processing on 'player\items\spy\c_thickjacket\c_thickjacket.mdl'

If I remove all the things like "$hbox 0 "bip_pelvis" " and stuff, it allows me to compile, but the model won't load into source.

I'm a bit stuck here. I've compiled weapons and hats before, but never anything like this. If anybody could be of assistance, that'd be rad. Thanks!

Any one had any issues with hats not attaching to characters in the import tool?
bip_head is skinned to geo from correct reference rig, should all be good...
exporting as fbx
If anyone could shed some light on the problem it would be appreciated!

item test works fine,
custom export and compile works fine

Import tool does not work!...gah!
