EDIT 3: The weapon model shows up misformed when i have [Weapon Name].dx80.vtx & [Weapon Name].dx90.vtx and Pink Checkerboarded EDIT 4: The Weapon doesn't show up and is just invisible with [Weapon Name].dmx80.vtx & [Weapon Name].dmx90.vtx For the rest it's not showing the original model anymore. Evaluation Okay, So i got the weapon model to load... but it loads purple checkerboarded and misformed every single time. Using dmx90 or dmx80 does not load the model at all so i use dx90 and dx80.

Make sure you also have the material file.

Do i need to put the model and everything in the material folder? Or something more specific?

Keep the model in the model file, but you need a .vtf and .vmt in your materials\(location.)
Say you had the Shellshock shotgun for a mod, you put the model in:
models\weapons\c_models\c_prototype_shotgun\c _prototype_shotgun.mdl
You'd also have a ".vtf" and a ".vmt".
It would belong in:
materials\models\weapons\c_models\c_prototype _shotgun\c_prototype_shotgun.vtf
materials\models\weapons\c_models\c_prototype _shotgun\c_prototype_shotgun.vmt
An exception is if the decompiled model's .qc said otherwise.

Thank You so Much!


But still, now that it works... i can't seem to find a place where you can download models for the serverside, not for the client to place in tf2/tf/custom.
Is there a place where i can find models that aren't just .vpk files?


Literally every model i've downloaded so far has been a useless .vpk file which i can't use as a model for custom weapons.

It's starting to piss me off...

.vpk can be decompiled, I recommend Crowbar, a .vpk decompiler comes with TF2, but it's a command-line application so you SHOULD use crowbar, I'll add a .zip file containing it.

I said Crowbar was a .vpk decompiler.
I'm stupid, I forgot it was for .mdls instead.

But yeah, GCFScape is a good idea.

EDIT: Crowbar DOES actually have a .vpk decompiler, but eh, GCFScape is probably what you need.

Please read the main post but start about half-way down. It's starts at the "About invisible weapons". On the official "Custom TF2 Weapons" group, we use a slightly better version compared to the public version from this forum. We need visible models because it's a actual large group with petty of visitors each day. I have a small guess that whoever wants to make models visible is just setting up a server for their friends, so visible weapon models shouldn't be required.

I appreciate you for helping me, but... i think you misread my post.

I have no intention to fix the invisible models. (i also know this topic is banned here.)
I was talking about .vpk files.
The models that were meant for the client side that replace a certain weapon in /tf2/tf/custom.

.vpk were useless to me since it didn't contain the materials or models to use for a custom weapon.
but i already found out how to decompile that to still receive the required files.

Technically .vpks DO contain the custom weapon models, but they'll be set up to overwrite default models and not their own.
Although if you did visit a custom weapons server, you could easily use their models.
