Hey there Mousse.
 +
 +
I have a page [[User:Lexar/3d Model Viewer Tools|here]] which has some small but useful information for the 3D model viewer recompile process.
 +
 +
Just want to run it by you and check if this information could be helpful in any way.

Mediawiki:Sitenotice

Could you change the link that reads [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Notifications MediaWiki Echo notification system] to [[w:mw:Help:Notifications|MediaWiki Echo notification system]]? It would remove the external link icon. Darkid (Talk|Contribs) 23:19, 17 December 2013 (PST)

Done. User Moussekateer signature sprite.pngMoussekateer·talk 05:11, 18 December 2013 (PST)

Sorry for my mistake, I thought that the dictionary need to edit directly. I have not yet fully understood with redirections. Max 324 (talk) 21:54, 18 December 2013 (PST)

Using automate.py

When I run automate.py, a few questionable things happen:

  • It asks me to overwrite regardless of the inputted name
  • It closes HLMV at the beginning of execution
  • It throws an error: "No such file or directory: targetimages\\openhlmv.png"

Darkid (Talk | Contribs) 07:30, 24 January 2014 (PST)

It only asks you to overwrite if the destination directory for the images already exists. It closes HLMV at the beginning because it needs to set the rotation for the first screenshot, this is normal. And now I've just realized you should be using automatebeta.py which doesn't use target images anymore. I need to get round to cleaning up the files for this. User Moussekateer signature sprite.pngMoussekateer·talk 08:38, 24 January 2014 (PST)
Should I hold off until you fix up automatebeta? Darkid (Talk | Contribs) 08:39, 24 January 2014 (PST)
No, you can use it now. User Moussekateer signature sprite.pngMoussekateer·talk 08:40, 24 January 2014 (PST)
I get a WindowsError: [Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified:

It can't find hlmv.exe. Are you sure you've got the right path to it? User Moussekateer signature sprite.pngMoussekateer·talk 14:46, 24 January 2014 (PST)

r'F:\Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\bin' Darkid (Talk | Contribs) 14:49, 24 January 2014 (PST)
That's the path to my Steam folder but likely not yours. Change that to your own. User Moussekateer signature sprite.pngMoussekateer·talk 14:58, 24 January 2014 (PST)
Well I'm not a windows native, but I know HLMV is in Team Fortress 2/bin/HLMV.exe Darkid (Talk | Contribs) 15:00, 24 January 2014 (PST)
Yes, but is your Steam folder in the root of the F drive? User Moussekateer signature sprite.pngMoussekateer·talk 08:32, 25 January 2014 (PST)
Err maybe? Probably not. Darkid (Talk | Contribs) 08:33, 25 January 2014 (PST)

Buggy 3d images

File:User_Darkid_Test_3D.jpg. I'm not quite sure what's going wrong. Darkid (Talk | Contribs) 11:49, 15 February 2014 (PST)

All fixed. Is gud. User Moussekateer signature sprite.pngMoussekateer·talk 16:43, 15 February 2014 (PST)

3D images with VMTs

I'm having trouble with the blue festive ambassador. Although I've defined the BlueVMT parameter, the code doesn't use it, and also doesn't crop the "blue" output. Ideas? Darkid (Talk | Contribs) 12:51, 17 February 2014 (PST)

So you have teamColours = True and BLUVMTFile = 'path\to\blue\vmt'? User Moussekateer signature sprite.pngMoussekateer·talk 12:59, 17 February 2014 (PST)
Yes. Darkid (Talk | Contribs) 17:45, 17 February 2014 (PST)
Can you try copying the contents of the blu vmt file into the red file and seeing what happens when you refresh in hlmv? User Moussekateer signature sprite.pngMoussekateer·talk 17:49, 17 February 2014 (PST)
Sure, but I should note that I can change skins just fine within HLMV.
Also, aside from coloration, are there any issues with the file itself?
It has no effect--since I'm not editing the actual .vmt files. Darkid (Talk | Contribs) 20:47, 17 February 2014 (PST)

3D images with custom models

I'm still having trouble zooming out--any ideas? Darkid (Talk | Contribs) 18:09, 20 February 2014 (PST)

3D images

Could you help me? I'm trying to make a 3D image to the wiki, but do not know how. I made the image in all positions and now i want to add to the wiki. How to combine them to create 3D? Max 324 (talk) 21:59, 22 February 2014 (PST)

You need to be using the appropriate python script, which stiches at the end. Darkid (Talk | Contribs) 22:00, 22 February 2014 (PST)
Hm... What should I do with this script? Max 324 (talk) 00:24, 23 February 2014 (PST)
Run it with python. See the 'documentation' here. Darkid (Talk | Contribs) 12:06, 23 February 2014 (PST)
Thanks for help, but I think I use another method. I will try to ask on the page about 3d models. Max 324 (talk) 19:51, 23 February 2014 (PST)
What is the method you used? Because the 3D models are set up in a very specific way, that would be near impossible to do without the script. User Moussekateer signature sprite.pngMoussekateer·talk 19:59, 23 February 2014 (PST)
In TFMV I set the specific starting position and each time changed the position of the camera (it changes every 15 degrees). Example here Max 324 (talk) 19:42, 24 February 2014 (PST)
You must have a lot of patience then. But it would be a lot better for you to use the scripts. Your images don't have transparency, which makes batch cropping and stitching very difficult. If you look at an example finished image you can see what the final 3d image looks like when done properly. User Moussekateer signature sprite.pngMoussekateer·talk 20:06, 24 February 2014 (PST)
No transparency because it was not finished yet. And my workpiece can be united as your example? Max 324 (talk) 20:13, 24 February 2014 (PST)
Yes you can, but the script works by using two copies of every image, one with a black background and one with a white background. But again, the whole process is much much much easier if you use the script to generate the images. User Moussekateer signature sprite.pngMoussekateer·talk 20:30, 24 February 2014 (PST)
And the last question:how to adjust the display position 3d image on the wiki? I saw that the parameter Maps different in different images Max 324 (talk) 19:29, 25 February 2014 (PST)
The script outputs the map into a text file once the stitching is done. User Zabidenu sig.png (contribstalk) 19:31, 25 February 2014 (PST)


Need help with 3D images

Hey, I'm trying to learn how to take images for 3D image. But I'm having trouble with setting up automatebeta.py. Can you give me an example of this? Thanks. Lf400212 (talk) 06:35, 25 March 2014 (PDT)

The process is rather long so it'd be easier if you told me which step you were stuck on. The default file contains some example settings that should guide you. User Moussekateer signature sprite.pngMoussekateer·talk 15:23, 26 March 2014 (PDT)
On a related note, the majority of the 3d images left need recompiling. Darkid (Talk | Contribs) 15:27, 26 March 2014 (PDT)
I've downloaded strongly recommended one from requirements section. and now I'm trying to find out where "automatebeta.py" is, but it isn't going well.. should i open up Notepad and make a new one? plus, i don't know how to do it :/ Lf400212 (talk) 06:29, 27 March 2014 (PDT)
It's in 3D_Models-automation-master. Darkid (Talk | Contribs) 06:45, 27 March 2014 (PDT)

Love and War update

You created skeleton pages for a lot of the new items in the Love and War update. Thanks for doing this, although you seem to have set the patch date on those pages to June 19. The update was released on June 18. Since there was a patch today too, it's important those dates are changed on all the new item pages so people don't get confused between the two patches. --Piemanmoo 18:03, 19 June 2014 (PDT)

Yep, sorry about that. Issue with my script datetime that I will have resolved for next time. I've been trying to fix them by running through the pages with AWB, which should be simple in theory, but I all my edits are timing out due to the wiki load issues. I'll fix any stragglers when I can. User Moussekateer signature sprite.pngMoussekateer·talk 18:11, 19 June 2014 (PDT)

Error uploading audio files

For some reason, I'm still unable to upload certain files.

If you recall my last post from Halloween, I was unable to upload

Sf13_mannbros_argue21.wav because it was too large (2.18MB) and Sf13_blutarch_win06.wav because of the MIME error.

This time around, I'm getting the same problem for Scout_taunt_nun_81.wav and Spy_taunt_dosi_end_11.wav due to

Cannot upload due to Files of the MIME type "application/x-php" are not allowed to be uploaded.

I still encounter the error even after a fresh re-extraction of the files through GCFScape. They play fine on my end.

There's also a strange audio file called mtt_medic_punchnslaps.wav which is 2.19MB and the uploader still won't accept it because it is larger than 2.00MB.

User Upgrade Signature.png 21:15, 20 June 2014 (PDT)

Unfortunately we don't have the ability to change the max file upload size ourselves. As for your other issue, I'm not sure why the server would be detecting the filetype incorrectly. It may be that the file was generated incorrectly and MW's guess at what filetype it is is tripping up for some reason. I'll have a try myself.

TF2 Character with a transparent background ?

Greetings, mate.
I saw what you did about drawing, etc.
I'm wondering if you could help me.
I have a screenshot of my Soldier here.
I would like to have him with a transparent background.
Like your Engineer on your User page, you see ?
I don't know what should I use to do that.
Can you help me, please ? Scher2o Killicon rocket launcher.png 05:47, 3 July 2014 (PDT)

You're going to need to follow the guide at Team Fortress Wiki:3D Models to create a 3D model. A screenshot won't do unfortunately, you'll need a bit of experience with HLMV and running scripts. User Moussekateer signature sprite.pngMoussekateer·talk 16:47, 4 July 2014 (PDT)

some recompiling resources

Hey there Mousse.

I have a page here which has some small but useful information for the 3D model viewer recompile process.

Just want to run it by you and check if this information could be helpful in any way.

some examples of this in work are:

Equalizer

Minigun

Thanks
