SFM/GMOD TF2 Guide:: How-to get the Invasion Update in your apps [EASY]

This guide will point you in the right direction of how to get the invasion stuff from TF2 into SFM mainly.
This will cover how to extract it and how to find it by a search string.
On a side note, the items can be found in GMOD as well.

All items come from these sources::
~ Original TF2 Source -> http://www.teamfortress.com/invasion/
~ TF2 Wiki Listing Items -> https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Invasion_Update

What works::
Everything! There will be small flaws but can easily be fixed. ^^
If for GMOD & SFM. See notes in following sections for more information.

Why is there no workshop upload? All the items come from the vpks. I find it uneccessary to reupload if it's in vpks.

Step 1:: How do I get the invasion update in SFM?

What you need::

• The Game of TF2 obviously
  
• A copy of SFM
  
• GCFScape

Extract the files [models, materials, sounds] from the TF2 gcf (aka vpk files) found in the TF2 folder.
Place the folders inside of your usermod or tf or tf_movies folder. Your choice.

* Do this above or the following steps below will fail...

Step 2:: Where are the files in SFM?

Below is a list of items in tables to make it easier to finding a specific item.

Instructions for SFM Only below:: IMPORTANT!!
Download from here:: https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=25DC7FB3E8E77384!14685&authkey=!AJ-MkG7kdceK6ck&ithint=file%2czip
Directions:: Simply extract the 4 maps and place in your maps folder. That's it.

Note:: Please note the maps inside the vpks of TF2 will not work directly in SFM/GMOD.

For GMOD Users::

Please use the same download link to get the maps to work.

Problem:: Why is my item transparent?

Go to the .vmt of the model.
Open the .vmt and add this -> "$ambientocclusion" "0"
Save it.
Go in SFM and go to console and type " reloadallmaterials "
Move the Timescale a bit to left to right and it should be a solid model.

Problem:: Map entities and light issues?

Problem 1:: Why do I have blotches/balls of light in random areas?

Fix:: Do a " buildcubemaps " in the console and restart SFM.
[You might not need to do this but I'll leave this here, just in case].

Problem 2:: Why are some entities/props in the map missing?

Fix:: Right-click the viewport and select all entities in the list. Everything should show.

Question:: Is there a GMOD port of this?

Where is the models, props, particles and such in GMOD?

Inside of GMOD. Just make sure that TF2 is mapped. The items will be in the model spawn list.

Does the maps work in GMOD?

The following have been tested:: Use at your own risk.

Works but with minor flaws

• sfm_arena_byre.bsp - works - 100%.
  
• sfm_pd_watergate.bsp - works - 99% - missing some map entities.
  
• sfm_koth_probed.bsp - works - 99% - missing some map entities and particles.

Does not work at all

• sfm_ctf_2fort_invasion.bsp
  
• ctf_2fort_invasion.bsp
  
  Both above maps - work but will crash GMOD. - 10%.

Got a problem with the maps, not a single one wants to load. Either that or my sfm is broken beyond repair.

[Hoovy Pooter™]

oh, thanks!

[Kumquat [Velbud]]

BTW, Denise, some good news. Detonatress and I were able to extract most fo the props from 3 of 4 maps (unextracted=2fort). We made a decision to upload the content packs for the treee of them once we have them enhanced. I thank you for replying! As for BurstChester, dunno if its a prop. It doesnt appear in anythign related to the invasion update content.

[denisemakar DM|AA]

@[G.o.D.] Strashniy Velikhan,
Yes it is a taunt animation by itself. The props are mostly inside of the maps. The misc props are in the above table.

[Kumquat [Velbud]]

Hmm, is Bustchester available as a taunt to be extracted into SFM? Seems that there is a lot of missing content, especially props and the taunt. :/
