Graybanns not paintable? (jul13_sweet_shades)

[frankenhomie]

Ive tried the usual method in GIMP(Copy, paste, fill bg colour etc...) but that doesn't work.
Any tips?

Sorry Cyber, I haven't had a chance to look at any of the new updates.

Ah its fine, I have tried your method but it doesnt seem to work; it just makes the glass bits look slightly see-through and discolored, aswell as not being painted :(

[Pte Jack]

Hmmmm, Cyber, I don't seem to have any problems...

Actually, it looks like these Community items are suffering the same texture problems that the Robo_Boogaloo items have. The base texture paintable areas in the vtf files are completely black.

Follow the steps in my How to Fix Hats guide (look at the How to fix the Robo_Archimedes area) on how I fixed this for my shot.

I have tried this method like 4 times already, still doesnt work :(

Proof that it does is in the picture I've shown above... Your Graybans will stay blackish in colour if you did it properly, then you have to edit "$colortint_base" "{ 25 25 25 }" in jul13_sweet_shades_1.vmt to the RGB colour number you want.

ok, but will I always have to paint them through the vmt, will it not work through the Hat Proxy.dmx ?

[Pte Jack]

It very well may, I have not tried it.

My friend gave me the vtf because he fixed it, must have been me that was doing something wrong. Thanks, yet again :D
