Hi Gabriel, thank you for the suggestions regarding my HLMV images! I've also talked to some helpful people in the IRC and they gave me some advice too. The first Brain Cane image I made was created before I configured my dxsupport.cfg. After talking with the users at the IRC, I installed the replacement dxsupport.cfg as well as some of the tools used by other image editors (namely the forearm fix, the cubemaps, the fire texture fix).

Thank you for the welcome, and I will ask questions about images if needed.

Hello, TehCheat!

Welcome to the Team Fortress 2 Official Wiki!

Here are a few links to get you started:

  • If you already are familiar with wikiediting, you might want to try Help:Style guide.
  • Recent Changes will let you see others' contributions as they happen.
    • To make Recent Changes more useful for all users, remember to provide an edit summary in the "Summary" field before you save your changes.
    • You can set the wiki to prompt you for a summary in your preferences.
  • When posting on an article's Talk page you should add four tilde symbols or ~~~~ onto the end.
    • This will add a signature and timestamp to your comment so others can easily tell who posted it.
    • Any new sections on an article's Talk page should be added to the bottom of the page and not to the top.
    • When editing normal article pages, don't sign your contributions.
    • You can use the Signature Icon.png button in the editing toolbar to quickly add a signature.

  • If you have trouble with anything on the wiki or you're not sure about a specific topic, feel free to join the IRC.
  • You can also customize your user page if you like.
    • When uploading images for use on your user page, please add the prefix User TehCheat to the file's name.
    • Additionally, if you would like to add any self-made content to the wiki, please do so by adding the prefix User:TehCheat/ to the page title when you create the page.

Once again, welcome to the Team Fortress 2 Wiki!

Images

Hi. Welcome to the Wiki. I have seen you made some images on HLMV, they look pretty good, especially in the facial flex department. Although, I'm here to mention that the Brain Cane picture is using low-res textures. I suggest you downloading a pre-configured dxsupport.cfg and extracting to your "Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\" folder (make sure to back yours first, just in case). The .cfg must go inside the "bin" folder. This will ensure that high quality textures (and anti-aliasing) will be applied. Warning: Any time you check the integrity of files via Steam, the dxsupport.cfg will go back to default, you'll have to replace it again if you do that.

Additionally, check the Program limitations part of the Help:HLMV page. There's a few things you may want to install to fix a couple of things on HLMV, the more important ones being the "Fire texture", "Cubemaps" and "hlp_forearm_L and hlp_forearm_R" packs. I do know that you are not using the Cubemaps pack due to one of your User images. However, because of the nature of User images, you don't really need to replace it with proper cubemaps (unless you want), it's just the ideal and consistent way we have been doing images here on the Wiki.

The "Skybox texture" pack will let you do images more quickly, by using the Ctrl+B hotkey to switch from black to white backgrounds (make sure to set your background color to white whenever you load a new model).

Feel free to ask me any questions on my Steam comments section, but please don't add me. I've paused a bit of activity on the Wiki after having helped a lot of people here, especially on the image department. I will gladly help you get into the inner workings of HLMV, as well a few other things I haven't mentioned on this post.
