Adding new models after Steampipe (Solved)

[DaAm]

Used to be all you had to do to add new models added to TF2 was extract the contents of the materials gcf file into a folder and have SFM find that folder. Pretty simple stuff, but after steampipe hit all new models are put into a vpk file. I tried the same technique of extracting the files from the vpk into the same folder I used to use for the gcf files but that doesn't seem to work. Am I missing something dead obvious? My goal is to get the new Demoman misc (Dark Age Defender) in SFM but it doesn't seem to want to co-operate. Any help would be appreciated.

GCFScape will extract vpk files, but only if you upgrade your version to 1.8.4 . Still free and available here http://nemesis.thewavelength.net/index.php?p=26

This shows you how to access the vpk and be warned, the materails have been spit into 2 different VPKs. vmt files are in the materials folder in TF2_misc_dir.vpk and the vtf files are in the tf2_textures_dir.vpk

To access the vpk, you need to open the _dir file associated with the store you are trying to extract.

Oh wow, I completely missed the tf2_textures_dir.vpk file. That actually solved everything, thank you for showing the dead obvious thing that I missed.
