Painting items?

[Haethei]

Does anybody know how to paint hats and miscs? I'm trying to paint a war pig white and I don't see any options for doing that anywhere, I've looked around on youtube and nothing has worked

Click this link and download the resource:

http://sfmbox.com/easy-hat-color-script/

and save the .py in Source Filmmaker\game\platform\scripts\sfm\animset.

Here's the steps to paint items (Only Works with paintable items. Non-Paintable Hats don't work.)
_______________________________________________________________________________

Step 1.) Load The Paintable Hat/Misc.

Step 2.) Right Click the model name and load the rig "hat_color_script"

Step 3.) The Item should be black by now. Right-Click the item again and roll over Show in Element Viewer > Model

Step 4.) Scroll through the attributes until you find materials (which should have at least 1 item in it.

Step 5.) Go into "color" (or whatever has three zeros next to it) and type in the color codes for the paint you want, which can be found in the link below:

And you're done! :)

Glad I could help out

When I add any RGB value to the color area it only makes the normal team color of the hat brighter

What part of the materials are you changing? and what model is it?

[Haethei]

It's the model for the War Pig with the extra mask on it, im changing the $color value that normally says 0 0 0. this war pig has 2 proxy material groups because it has seperate ones for the goggle color and the hat color

Also, I can't even get something to pop up under materials for a federal casemaker, the wiki says you can paint the hat...

The Summer items currently aren't paintable at the moment. Neither are the Robotic Boogaloo items. You may need to check out Pte Jack's tutorial on that.

Then he must've either attempted to load the hat script or followed Pte Jack's tutorial and simply left it black

For the items that are black to start (like the boogaloo items, half the June13th community update items and a few of the oringinal content items, Have a look at my guide. Most you have to edit the vtf files by following the process I outline for the robo Archimedes or the tough guy toque...

Once that is complete you should be able to either edit the vmt or use the colour scripts...

Unfortunately the latest SFM update broke the color scripts.

Anyone have a new download link for the color script? Needing it badly now.

How about learning how to paint items without relying on those constantly breaking scripts?

Just add override materials, and in the element viewer, add an attribute of type color called $colortint_tmp to the proper material(s). You end up with a fancy colour picker, along with the satisfaction of having made it happen yourself like a big boy ;P

It's even easier now, adding override materials creates the colour picker automatically.

Just right click the model's animation set > add override materials. Then just show the model in the element viewer, expand its materials, and there should be a colour picker by colortint_base.
