Australium HALP! D:

[6Pix]

Trying to get back into SFM poster making and was making sure I was up to date with the newest content. Unfortunately, the Scattergun seems to be having issues with its Australium skin. I imported the Force-A-Nature model and switched it to Australium with no problem. Just had to change the skin. However, the scattergun won't cooperate :(

Any ideas?

So far, the scattergun seems to be the only one having this issue.

Oh, you're right. Somehow the Scattergun uses the wrong envmap texture.

Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\SourceFilmmaker\game\tf\materials\models\weapons\w_scattergun\, and open w_scattergun_gold.vmt in a text editor. Look for the line that says "$envmap" just above "$envmaptint" "[2.5 2.5 1.15]". Change it to: "$envmap" "cubemaps/cubemap_gold001"

Oh, while you're at it, set "$detailblendfactor" to "0" instead of ".01", that'll remove the fire overlay that's slightly visible on the grip.

Awesome! That worked! Thanks, R234! =D

[R234]

Eh, I can't complain. It forces us to go digging and learn stuff, which prepares us for making our own assets :D

Hi. I have tried to open this file in Word, Notepad and Notepad ++. I can't find the line anywhere. Any suggestions?

Are you sure you opened the right file?

Hello.
I've tried all that you said, R234, but it still doesn't work for me.


I've tried putting "materials/" before "cubemaps/cubemap_gold001" to see if SFM was just having problems locating the file...

I've tried removing all my downloaded workshop items...

I've tried turning off "mat_specular", which seems to always turn on after starting up SFM...

I've tried looking back on what you said and instead opened the "Valve Material File" in "Notepad++" but still didn't help...

Also, the flames on the Australium Scattergun are still there even after setting "$detailblendfactor" to "0".


If you have the time to reply and help me out, that would be great.

[R234]

Did you type mat_reloadallmaterials in the console (or restart SFM) after applying the changes? If so, you most likely either edited the wrong file, forgot to save the changes, or have an overriding material of the same name in a higher priority mod.

[Sir Emerald LXIV]

I tried what you said, and it still didn't work...

But...

When I made a new session and put the same Australium Scattergun I put in a previous session, it worked.
Apparently, SFM doesn't change the properties of a model that's been saved on session with different model properties.

But it isn't too much of a bother to fix now, I just have to create a new Scattergun model.

Thanks for the help, R234.

Hey I still have a problem :(
This just fixes the problem for the world model, so w_scattergun
but not for the v_scattergun (firstperson)
and Ideas how to fix the v_scattergun? because in its textfile it already has the cubemaps/cubemap_gold001 thing and everything is fine, still it looks wrong ...
Help

Hey, sorry it took so long to come back to you. I kept looking at my Steam messages at work where I don't have access to SFM and meant to look into this later, but just plain forgot.

The problem with the viewmodel is a different one. You have to comment out "$detailblendmode" 6.

Sorry to revive this thread. But Im having a similar problem with this kind of issue. For me its a missing texture. I did what R234 told the guy for the fiery scattergun but it still doesn't work - What the missing texture looks like http://imgur.com/WzToZUR

Huhm. Have you tried loading all of the weapons? That is, w_, v_ and c_? Maybe one of the paths is broken? However, it doesn't have the black and purple checks so it might not be a missing texture. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
