[TF2] Model Manager 1.0.4 (08/03/2013)
13 Attachment(s)
Allows players to equip custom models. Let's not get Valve to shut this down, now, shall we?
Thanks to Damizean, this is basically his TF2 Equipment Manager plugin except with a model changer instead of a hat equipper. Thanks to Sazpaimon for model conversion research. Thanks to Pimpinjuice for reskin conversion research. Small update 1.0.4 on 08/03/2013 to prevent errors (and to enforce the MAX_ITEMS limit, which is there so that you are less likely to get precache table overflows) and help determine how many models are loaded when you use tf_models_reload. Only the smx and sp files changed. UPDATED 07/30/2013. All four files were changed. I'd suggest renaming tf/cfg/sourcemod/TF2_ModelManager.cfg to something else, finding the newly generated (lowercase) one after loading up the plugin (delete the file then restart the server else you'll just get the same old file you just renamed), then putting in whatever settings from the old one.

READ ABOUT .dep FILES HERE. YOU NEED THESE FOR CUSTOM MODELS (models that aren't already in the game files. models/gman.mdl IS already in the game files, FYI) Code:

===TUTORIAL FOR CONVERTING MODELS/SKINS===
To "convert" a custom MODEL for this plugin, all you have to do is move it to its own folder so that it is not replacing the stock TF2 files. You do not have to follow this tutorial, but any custom animation files will require a bit of reworking. To "convert" a custom SKIN for this plugin, you have to follow the instructions from the tutorial(s). Video tutorial While the tutorial says to use the stockmodels files, the TF2 update on October 8, 2012 broke this method. You will have to use the files from models/player/<class>.mdl, e.g. models/player/sniper.mdl. You may or may not have to use the MDL Hexer to change the model's path internally to your custom model path (I haven't, for the most part: I've just moved the model to a new folder and it seemed to work fine). Finally, you will have to grab the .sw.vtx, .dx90.vtx, .dx80.vtx, .vvd, and .phy files from the same place, copy them to your custom model location, and rename them to your custom model name (if you didn't just use the stock model name but in a custom folder). For example: I want to reskin the Sniper to the Christian Brutal Sniper. I copy the following files from tf/models/player/ to tf/models/player/saxton_hale/ sniper.mdl sniper.phy sniper.vvd sniper.sw.vtx sniper.dx90.vtx sniper.dx80.vtx I rename all the files to be "cbs_v9" instead of "sniper". I use the MDL Hexer to edit the skin in sniper.mdl. Done. stockmodels.zip The paths are the same as the default models, except with _stock appended (so models/player/scout_stock.mdl). SO, USE THESE .mdl FILES INSTEAD OF GRABBING THE STOCK TF2 ONES FROM THE GCF WHEN PORTING SKINS. For some reason these models' mouths don't animate for vocalizations. Nothing I can do about it. This is still a better solution for the issue with people using clientside skins than making each model have its own extra files. stockmodels.sp last updated 06/18/2012 Model packs for use with this plugin: Attached as 'medic_popit_taunt.7z': 'Medic: Pop It, Don't Drop It', 'Heavy: Crotch Chop', for use with this plugin. Files from the "server" directory go onto your server (there's a "tf" folder in there, so you should be able to figure out where on the server it goes). Files from the "fastdl" directory go onto your fastdownload server. "config_add.txt" is the default model list entries for these four models/taunts. The High Five versions don't sync up to the song and between the two classes, simply because of the way the high five animations work for them. Some stuff about inplace animation swaps, backed up from SPUF: Quote:

Re: [TF2] Model Manager 1.0.0 (08/13/2011)
Where would be a good place to find/download models to use with this? A list of places could be helpful in promoting this plugin as well Sarge. Thanks for the time you take for these plugins!

Re: [TF2] Model Manager 1.0.0 (08/13/2011)
is latest sm 1.4 files (tf2.inc & tf2 stock.inc) compatible with saxtonhale 1.35?

Re: [TF2] Model Manager 1.0.0 (08/13/2011)
Loranger: yes. But this isn't the saxton hale thread.
Smackdaddy: I'll put up info on how to make custom models. Hopefully we can get it so that we don't have a million unique filepaths for what really is the same model. Mecha the Slag's model hexing plugin is a nice shortcut of the method I use to convert skins to custom models for use with this plugin. |
