bind b +smh_menu bind n +smh_playback

yeah no this mod doesnt work as of march 2025, hasnt worked since. yes ive tried disabling/uninstalling all other addons but nope, this mod is completely broken now.

im waiting for a fixed version to be uploaded, or this one to be updated.

So far, there are a few Github forks of Stop Motion Helper (SMH) that have this implemented:

- This fork [github.com], made by smg4tech, implements an audio track feature into SMH. Many of the forks bulleted below use this fork.
- This one fork [github.com] simply merges the audio fork above with an 8-month-year-old version of SMH (on Github, not workshop)
- This fork [github.com] (made by me) has the same audio feature too, plus waveforms to allow one to see the peaks of an audio clip over time. While unofficial, I also keep this up-to-date when possible

There isn't a definite timeline as to when an audio track feature would be implemented into the workshop. If you're interested in the unofficial "bleeding edge" of SMH, I'd suggest trying one of these out

one feature that I think would be cool is adding an audio track feature so I can put custom audios when I animate to help lip sync

I can't even get to the advanced options to bind any of the functions that this requires me to. This really needs to be updated.

@Male07 you have to add the +

Unknown command: smh_menu (x2)

how do I bind it

SMH will be gold if you could select one or more keyframes and be able to copy and paste them

How can I remove a previously chosen key? That is, I used to use the 'm' for playback, but now I use the period; however, when I press 'm' to use the camera, the animation plays.

@Radio Guy
Stand Pose tool

What did you use to make ragdolls go into the T pose?

update it pls i want to use it 2025 or add another vid on how to use it in 2025

Oh, the button right next to the spawn model button.

@popcan:
If I understand, you are loading a saved animation; yes.
Using the menu to spawn the model; yes.
Are you then selecting the model then using the menu to load the animation when the model is selected?

if you guys are having issues then you must not be using it right i think because it never failed for me

animator randomly stopped working? Whenever i load an animation it just spawns the ragdoll in the middle of that map and trying to animate just doesnt work.

How can I find it?

guys dont put the command in console just bind it trust me you will have to restart your game

anyone else have problems with the spawn feature? it doesn't work for me at all

sometimes stuck in menu while Im not pressing "+smh_menu" bound key especially right after change framerate and frame count (type numbers with numpad) in my experience.
is there any method to turn off the menu when stuck there? (sorry about my bad english)

playback isn't working, i checked and i have the "+smh_playback" thing binded

Ok, I got it sorted. I just recently upgraded to a new pc and forgot to tick enable world keyframes lol XD, my mistake, thanks for the help regardless

iirc it is case sensitive, so you may want to try "Numpad_1", and check whether you have world keyframes enabled in settings

I seem to be having issues with world keyframes, I've typed the keys (numpad_1 in key to press for example), but it doesn't seem to work, anyone know whats going on?

i used to animate bullshit like a car driving off a cliff with this when i first got gmod,good times

Is there any way to get the physics recorder to record longer than 200 frames? I can manually type in a higher number but it doesn't seem to do much.

I fucking love this mod

Is there a way to animate bonemerged objects?

the right click thing on the ragdoll doesnt work

the record button doesn't seem to work at all, I think the new update broke it

the toggle record not work.

Anyways Where Is The File To My Stop Motion Saves?

10/10 THIS IS FANTASTIC SORRY FOR THE 0/10 I'M SO SORRY

Awesome

you have to bind a key the playback key for that, for example

"bind n +smh_playback"

it doesn't specifically have to be n, it can be whatever key you want

how the hell do i play the animation

Nevermind, figured it out. Apparently I forgot to Enable World Keyframes in the Settings

I feel like I'm gonna lose my mind with the World Select thing. I'm trying to animate particles and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong cause it ain't working for me

easier than sfm

W stop motion helper. I have wasted over 2000 hours of my life animating. YAY

this is a good mod but it pisses me off so much when it freezes my whole game and im only allowed to interact with the menu, cant even save, ive lost hours of work due to this stupid bug

i say 24 idk thats a random guess doe

Guys what framerate is good for tf2 animation?

say unbind (the key u want unbinded)

(bind <key> -smh_record) for removing command @elultimosaldado

how can i unbind key the smh_ menu guys I need help

how i can unbind key the smh_menu?

why does it remove one of my frames? (example: i set max frames to 20 and it says 'position 1/19' instead of 1/20) can someone please help me??
