I'm just glad I've found a good hobby too keep me busy, and I've actually had fun doing it. Happy to help! COBALT 05:37, 20 January 2013 (PST)

About your edits

Keep it up, you're doing good. But sometimes do not remove the bug that we didn't test after patch or at least if you tested, just put "Tested" at Summary Box. (like sleeves fix on Black Rose) Hinaomi (talk) • (contributions) 15:10, 15 February 2013 (PST)

Ah okay, sorry. I'm one to jump the gun a lot. I'll be sure to verify beforehand in the future. Thank you. COBALT 15:22, 15 February 2013 (PST)

How do you make your TF2 models?

I'm trying to learn how to edit models in TF2. What tools do you use, and how do I go about manipulating models? I know where to get models and how to view them, but how do I edit them? --Samuel Enthers 17:31, 22 March 2013 (PDT)

Hm, I'm a tad confused about what kind of manipulating you mean. Are you referring to posing player models, editing textures of items for team colors/paint, physically editing the models of the game through a 3D modeling program, or some other process I haven't picked up on? Apologies for my misunderstanding. COBALT 18:35, 22 March 2013 (PDT)

If you're asking about 3D Models, try asking Ragnar. Ashes 18:46, 22 March 2013 (PDT)

I mean posing player models. --Samuel Enthers 18:57, 22 March 2013 (PDT)

Ah, yes. To do that you simply need to open the player model, select the Sequence tab, click one of the boxes label "ref" and pick the taunt/animation you'd like from the dropdown list (taunts are located at the bottom of the list, by the way). Some of them are obscurely named, so feel free to poke around a bit to find the right one. You can use the slider at the bottom of the window to navigate through the frames of the animation. To pose the face, select the Flex tab and mess around with the sliders until the model conveys the emotion you deem fit. They're labeled more accurately than the taunts, don't worry. Happy posing. :) COBALT 19:21, 22 March 2013 (PDT)

Thanks! I hope this works... --Samuel Enthers 19:26, 22 March 2013 (PDT)

Also, how do you add in hats and miscs? I really appreciate the help. --Samuel Enthers 21:07, 22 March 2013 (PDT)

With the player model loaded, go to File > Load Weapon. Navigate through to [ROOT]\models\player\items, select the class the hat or misc is for, and play a quick game of "Guess and Check the File Name" until you find the right one. (They can be named some pretty weird names. If it helps, promos usually tend to have an abbreviation of their game in front. Also, This page has quite a few of the file names listed, if you get stuck) For all/multi class hats and miscs, open the all class folder under items and search for the item. Each will have the respective class's name after it. After you select the proper hat/misc, it will automatically attach itself properly to the player and move along with any poses you may give the character. This process also works with weapons, and if you wish to load more than one hat/misc/weapon at a time, This page describes how to do it. Good luck! COBALT 21:20, 22 March 2013 (PDT)

System Properties = Start Menu -> Right click on Computer -> Properties. – Smashman _(talk) 17:54, 18 May 2013 (PDT)

You have to create the folders in the tf folder, for it to be able to open them, but you don't need to extract the content – Smashman _(talk) 10:59, 18 May 2013 (PDT)

A little help

Hey, thanks again for helping me out with HLMV. It was really useful. But again, I'm having a spot of trouble. How do I get rid of the stock hats for the classes? Thanks in advance! --Samuel Enthers 11:05, 19 May 2013 (PDT)

Thanks for the tip

Thanks for informing me that the robotized version was already linked...I've been looking at these hat pages since the update and never noticed that ;_; Wingsfan240 14:54, 19 May 2013 (PDT)

Hello there! My name is Dwizard and I am a new user to the TF2 wikipedia site. I would love to help contribute, the only problem now is that I don't know a darn thing in that guide and need a bit more help from a experienced user such as yourself, I will be on the IRC looking for you after today and tomorrow, if you aren't there I would appreciate it if you could send me a "talk" message on my profile stating when you are available.

That is a very good question, which I never thought of an answer to. Let's just say, for the sake of closure, it's anything from here. - COBALT 16:47, 25 June 2013 (PDT)

Do you even know what it is I refer to? Also did you see my above message? – Smashman _(talk) 16:50, 25 June 2013 (PDT)

missing "ingame announcement" image

Hiho o/.. probably could ask anyone else for the upload but seeing the last similar images were also uploaded by you, i'll give it a shot (and as i'm using a different hud from the default one which would not fit on the wiki probably).. the Media:News_item_2013-07-10_Summer_Event.png is still missing, thus not displaying on the Summer Sale page ^^
