Porting Gmod models from the Gmod Workshop into SFM?

[Slump Buster of Staten Island]

So there are some models I wanted to use for my SFM, and knew that there was a Deadpool Model for Gmod. Is it possible to port that model and rig into SFM?

Yes, all you gotta do is extract the model from the .gma and put the material and model folders into your usermod folder.

NO! NO! NO!. Don't clutter Usermod. Also is the model is a spin off of a TF character and uses the same folder and name structure as a SFM Game model, you'll lose that game model.

This is the way to port GMod Workshop models to SFM.

Create a mod folder under the game folder, call it what you want. Put only models, materials.particles and sound folder from the extracted GMA file into that. Open the SFM SDK and turn on the folder you created. Give it the priority it needs to overwrite files if it has to then use the models.
Fix any can't load {path\filename}.vvd and Can't filnd or load {path\filename}.VMT or .VTF errors.

This works for a few addons. I use it for maps so I don't need to dig through my GMOD folder after installing an addon and don't clutter up my drives more than I have. Maps need to be decompiled with BSPsource and recompiled in Hammer with HDR on
