A few people thought it was lazy others recognized it as a creative use of repurposing models and using what you have to make what you need rather than model it and take up more memory or time. Somebody once noticed that the map designer who made Kong King created a bench using two benches instead of making a separate model. You can use this technique to change eye colours so that not everybody has the same blue eyes, you can give your character heterochromia, you can make your original character do not steal, and all sorts of reasons you’ll need different eye colours! If I want to use those eyes, I’ll link that path like this: I have Olivia Mann’s model downloaded and she comes with a custom eye texture in her folder. Now check your model! If you already have SFM open with the model loaded or are changing the eye colour VMTs often, you can go into your console and refresh the materials by typing the mat_reloadmaterial command in. I have a reskinned eye_iris_brown texture with a lighter sclera so I’ll use that since it shows more difference than Merasmus’ green eye texture. Now change the linked texture to whatever you want the new texture of the eye to be. I wanna edit tf_movies’ HWM Soldier so I’ll go there and look for eyeball_l.vmt & eyeball_r.vmt. Go into both of these VMT files with VTFEdit and look for the first string, which will be your eye texture. Now locate the model’s eyes you want to be editing. I usually check any of the materials/models/player/shared paths in either tf or tf_movies/wherever else I need to. If you’d like to see the science behind changing eyes, continue past the “Read More” cut:įirst, find the folder where your eyes you’ll be using are. Eye textures usually look or are layout-spread in size or appearance like this:ĮDIT 05/14/15: A user has found an easier way to edit eye textures within SFM, please look at the updated tutorial here rather than following this one. You can do this with VTFEdit and reskins. You can also watch this tutorial, i think it explains another method In conclusion, there aren’t so many options but you can do something with that You will see that font and size has change! Let’s say i want this, so i just copy DefaultLargeOutline and paste into “font” in sfm You will find a list with the name of the font that you will have to copy and put on sfm and under you can see the specifics of that font Open this file with notepad++ and scoll down until you’ll find “FONTS” You can only use the fonts and sized that you will find in SourceFilmmaker\game\platform\resource\boxrocket.res The alignment is determined by horizontalAlignment and verticalAlignment, for which 0 means align centered, -1 means align left (or top) and 1 means align right (or bottom)Īnd now let’s talk about the fonts and sizes: Right click on the clip and select Show in element viewerĪs you can see here you can change some things: write the text that you want on “Text” If you get good at it, you could probably also get some cash.I’m not really an expert on this, but i figured out somethingįirst of all add a clip to the effect track There are a lot of people selling Source Film Maker-posters on Steam. There are also “Puzzle Raffles”, way fewer people join these so your chance of winning is higher, but to join them you need to solve the raffle question. Only thing you have to do is login to Scrap.tf and join all the public raffles you find. Scrap.TF has an active user base which daily gives away TF2 items in so called “raffles”. These items can be used for trading or you could sell them for cash on Marketplace.tf. These drops could be items like cheap craft weapons or crates/cases, or more expensive items or hats. TF2 has a drop system that will reward you for playing the game. Trade.tf’s deals page is a good place to start, here you can find newly listed items that are going for a value under backpack.tf’s. You can even automate this process by setting up a trading bot.
