Introduction

This guide is made to help you import your own skins to the Minecraft Playermodels. First you'll need VTFEdit: https://nemstools.github.io/pages/VTFLib-Download.html

File Structure

First, right-click Garry's Mod in your steam library and under Manage select "Browse local files"

Next, go into garrysmod/addons/ and create a new folder

Then, inside your new folder, create one of the following directories depending on your skin's model type:

materials/models/galunga/skinalex/

materials/models/galunga/skinsteve/

Importing a Skin

Once you've finished creating the folders for your skin, open VTFEdit, and Import your skin with the following settings:

Now that your skin is imported, enable the Point Sample Flag and save it as one of these files inside your previously created directory

Now that you've saved the file, you should be able to select your custom skin in game!

Ded_Insult_2004 did you create a vmt file? If you did then delete it and leave the vtf file by itself.

Maybe like a converter made in LUA?

Currently I haven't got a system implemented for getting skins from account names, since it requires a good amount of complicated programming beyond my skillset. Also PNGs don't work as they're not supported for materials in Source

stout 7 Jul @ 8:30pm

why can't PNGs work? That's a pretty open format

Brightmuffin 7 Jul @ 4:29pm

this is a genuine question and i mean no ill will behind it. how come you cant use put your account name and it take your skin from there?

You just have to create folders until the text at the top of explorer matches the listed directories, so you create a folder called materials, then one inside it called models and so on
