So this is interesting... I just tested it myself. I have the same problem. I guess the batch file doesn't work anymore. However, the actual hlmv.exe program works. Load that up, then go to file > (Steam) Load model > load your model. It should work.

How do I load models? I can't find my Tf2 workshop folder. Do I need to take my item and put it into wherever it gets its files?

The SDK no longer works (it has been glitched for months).

Use the "new" TF2 SDK:

-Navigate to your /Steam/SteamApps/common/Team Fortress 2/bin/ folder
-Find the batch file titled "hlmv.bat" and open this file
-Voila! TF2-specific source SDK that should work

Wait, do I use the half-life model viewer that's a batch file or an application? The batch file just opens a command line and crashes, but the application can't load my models.

In the importer, you can adjust the phong to be 0 so it doesn't shine. (by default is 0.5 iirc)

But if I were including glasses, what would I do to make the glass shiny and the hair not?

I'm going to make a hair hat, but I don't know how to keep it from being shiny. Don't you use some sort of alpha filter or something like that?

I put all of the txt info in the gameinfo folder, tf2's configuration is in the right place, but when I start up Model Viewer, it says, "Unable to load manifest file: scripts/game_sounds_manifest.txt." What's going on? ;_;

:) I'm glad dude!

Wait how do I take a screenshot of it? When I try to take a screenshot it doesn't take one, I'm going to show it to my friends

It might be that your output folder needs to be specified. This is an image of the old smd tools script, but it should look similar: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10100459/BlenderImages/smd_export_output.jpg

Also make sure you are exporting .smd file types and not .dmx file types. The latest smd tools script defaults to .dmx (you should be able to change it from the same panel as above).

Thank you so much! I finally can see my own hat on my soldier! :D

I have my model. It is textured, it is modeled, I assigned it to the bip head bone, and I have it selected in object mode. However, when I do file>export>smd file and choose the hat, it just says, "SCENE UNCONFIGURED. See source engine export panel in scene properties."
HELP!

If you watched the video, i think the old one had 3 parts, 1- making the model, 2- Texturing and 3- importing. part 3 of the old tutorial is the one you don't wan't to follow, as it's obsolete with the new importer and it's covered by the new tutorial

So I just find the part where he stops texturing and follow that onwards?

I have seen both tutorials. However, I am stumped as to when I should switch tutorials (the exporting process). At which point should I switch tutorials? By this I mean that I use the old one for the modeling and the new one for exporting. When should I switch?
