please don't spam, I know this is a bad script
you should check out my other scripts

@BreakinBenny It's still crap! Because when I found the model I needed in this asset browser, when I tried to open this model, a window popped up first with instructions, and then with the model settings, but I couldn't open the model, although I followed the instructions

do you know if this messes with workshop downloads? it couldve been just luck but i downloaded this and i noticed alittle later i cant download anything from the workshop anymore

I'm planning to rewrite this script in the future as its the script that I'm least proud of lol

@skynet244 Use your eyes and look at the pinned discussion

It doesn't work! There are no models, where and how to find them?? This is worse than the original model browser, why is there no instruction?? Horrible! Dislike!

Why does it throw an error when I put it in?

It only shows items in the usermod folder and not the workshop one.

@Skynet244 I have faith in ya mang, heck I even have a request on the Github

That's not very constructive, I'm sorry that it's too confusing. I've been wanting to entirely rewrite this script for a while.

This scenario is HORRIBLE! complete nonsense! Because it takes a long time to load and nothing loads! No instructions! Author, you created garbage

You're still around, right KiwifruitDev?

I'm looking to revamp parts of this tool to become a viable model browser replacement. Stay tuned!

@Paper no bro you have to get a faster SSD or clear out some stuff

I happen to have 8 years of content stored up at over 489 GB and a single scan would take ages. Is there a way to make it continue from where it stopped instead of starting over?

I don´t know someone ask this but Is there a option to load this script when you open the sfm for the first time? I ask this because when i open the sfm the asset browser appear like a empty extension tab

Using the script editor to open the script is causing SFM to crash apun creating a session, any known fixes?

Hello. I have issue with your script. Can I add you for tell you more please?

[Upd]
I tried that thing out and it works now! Thanks a bunch for your answer, and sorry for making you pointing this solution out directly. Now this one's gonna save me a lot of time without endlessly browsing through for the things I use often in Source.

Oh damn, I couldn't find anything like that last time I checked on GitHub; I appreciate you directly pointing me to this, because honestly I have no clue how GitHub works in general lol
Will take a look and see if that solution helps, thanks a lot!

Mind taking a look at https://github.com/KiwifruitDev/SFM-Asset-Browser/issues/3 to solve the issue?
I might just have to work around this in a future update.

No idea what goes wrong, but it just refuses to work for me; the same "error writing to assetTags.json" message appears; then "no json object could be decoded". Tried reinstalling the script, it has no effect.
I saw it showing processing something in my cmd once or twice, but it ends up the same regardless.

Too bad, that one could be really helpful.

For some reason, this kills my SFM's performance. Makes nigh unusable even after the menu is closed

Arigato Master !

Sounds interesting. I wish I had too many files to download(

Сэр, вы ГЕНИЙ! Благодарю!

You did great with this script, mate. Loading stuff from this instead of Valve's Hammer browser is a treat!

For the next update or so, would it be possible to have the mainmenu script automatically spawn a placeholder animation set at the 0,0,0 coordinates so we always have something to run "asset_browser_import_models.py" on? If need be, use "models\editor\playerstart.mdl" as the model!

Is it possible for it to pull the current loaded modlist from gameinfo for searching/indexing? Ticking what mods I have enabled (remembering them alone, even) can be a bit tiring.

Hmm, that could be caused by some path issues. I thought I fixed it, but if you don't mind then feel free to report an issue on Github so I could have more information. Thanks for sharing.

No json object could be decoded?

AH THANKS! I figured it out!

You need to click on the "Scripts" button at the top of SFM, then navigate to "KiwifruitDev" and click "Asset Browser". Hope this helps. ^^

I just type in "KiwifruitDev" in the console and nothing happened.

Any errors in the console? I'd appreciate more information so I can solve it for you, check out the GitHub to make an issue for it. Hope it gets resolved.

I can't open the assets browseing in the script. How do I open it up in the script?

Thumbnails have been reached. That's it, we've hit the peak.

As for use cases, I see the tags feature as helping most with project management - especially over SCM (perforce, git, etc.), alongside bypassing memory problems with the default model browser, providing thumbnails for repeat assets, and ease of use when it comes to modifying textures with VTFEdit.

I love you.

curious how to i uninstall this ? :P if wanted

oh fug is this an update?

Dang. You make SFM scripts now?

Thumbnails are available now.
And I love you, random citizen!

i love you

I made a bunch of bug fixes and minor tweaks just now.
Thank you for bringing this to the front page, it means a lot to me! <3

if valve doesnt update our art(suffering) tool, we do, eh?

Awesome, is it possible to create a preview for particles based on it?

Some general quality of life improvements have been made.
The mod path issue has also been fixed, it stemmed from mixed-case path names.

Also, now there's documentation on each component.
It can be found at the "How to Use" discussion page or on GitHub.

Sometimes it'll take a while to load stuff, idk

not sure if i'm just dumb but when i go to mods and tick them they still don't appear in the browser even afer refreshing

can you load in shots from sessions into another session?/genq
