will these model have their own black team cosmetic

hey, can you do the civilian black texture?

works 👍

Hey uh it didn't actually work. Idk if it's the command or what

its perfect

i did everything right

Then you didn't do it right.

didn't worked

I did the same thing over again until it worked

So, what you are saying is that you weren't using it properly and finally did and it worked. Because, I haven't changed anything here and it went from not working for you to working for you.

AAAAAYYYYY ITS WORKIN FINALLY

I'll try again but it's probably not gonna work

Depend on the model and the skin you want to change out, On the player/sniper for the red sniper, it would be, add mat override, take to element viewer, Select Sniper_red mat, Add a String attribute and change name to $basetexture. Beside it add models\player\sniper\sniper_black.vtf in the path block (note there is no materials in the path, it starts at models)

For the HWM sniper, same process but use models\player\sniper\sfm_sniper_black.vtf in the path block. (again note, no materials in the path, the path starts at models)

It's not working for any character and I did the normal steps, override materials, element viewer, red_sniper (or whatever it is), string, $basetexture, then paste the materials code. Is that correct?

Deleted and downloaded a new copy of the skins. Added Material overrides as per the instructions above. Both Player and HWM snipers and scouts work fine for me. Which Character are you having problems with and are you using the correct texture in your override?

what I mean is it's not at all working in the slightest.

Sort of not working means that they don't have priority

It's sort of not working at all.

I did it wrong and turns out it works with the voodoo cursed models so thx alot for this mod!

see the link in the comment below. this is strictly black skins. The link below are to my paintable skins.

Use these and paint them yourself...

Can You Make The Team In Purple?

jk

Basically men in black? :D

oh I'm dumb xDD soz

See the scrolling pictures above, one of them is a vid. Click that.

So uh, wheres the vid?

For the white medic, same process, but invert the the greyscale, when you load it, dirty up the colortint_base with a little grey...

This is what the texture looks like without the layer mask..

You need that alpha channel with the layermask because the backpack material (the vmt) uses a
"$basemapalphaphongmask" "1" command and it is looking for the phong mask in the texture alpha channel. You'll get red checkerboards if you don't add it.

yes like that

What, like this??

Quite easy to create, Take the red backpack, convert it greyscale, replace the cross and circle with a black one, add an alpha channel, add a greyscale layer mask, export from gimp as a VTF with alpha and there you go, swap it out the same way to swap out the medic textures to go black.

If you want to use custom models and textures, you got to start learning how to do this kind of thing.

This is what the GIMP layout looks like when things are in place.

can you make black textures for medics backpack?

thank you

The textures will work with both and if you're doing "everything right" and the textures are still B&P, then you're doing everything right, wrongly.
Up top, under the changing picture, click the video and watch that. It's a Youtube video, so you can click the youtube link in the video to go to it on youtube and expand it to full screen.

also will the textures work with the blue skins

ok so the problem is i doing every thing right but when i paste the textures the spy model is still pink and black.

I don't... Can't help you if you don't explain the problem.

i have a problem with spy

thank again kind stranger

Where ever you extracted the TF2 Game Cache VPKs to, then
models/workshop/player/items/spy/skullmask/skullmask.mdl
And the paint works on that one.

yes by any chance where would i get the dead head mask?

Glad you got it working...

i got it, didn't realize you had a video

Then you haven't done the process correctly as these are completely renamed textures.

i've done all the tips provided non of them are working but now nothing is happening...

And hence, the name of the skins are "In Black"... I have a Paintable Team skins on the workshop as well, you can tone those down if you want.

Their clothing is too black. It looks strange.

Thanks!

Then you're not doing it right.

Spawn the character,
right click it and add an override materials,
send the character to the element viewer,
click the + beside materials to expand them.
If you're changing out the red skin, find the {charactername}_red material, if changing out the blu skin, find the {charactername}_blu material and click the + beside it.
Right click on the material name,
select Add Attribute and select String,
double click in the attribute name so everything is selected
and type $basetexture and click ok.

As soon as you do that the body will go Black and Purple checkerboarded.

In the field beside the new attribute type

models\player\{whatever the class is}\{whatever the class is}_black (for example for the nopack scout it would be

models\player\scout\scout_black_nopack

For the scout with the pack on it would be

models\player\scout\scout_black

NOTE: It is NOT MATERIALS\MODELS it is just MODELS\ that you type.

The skin should change to the black skin. (unless you haven't activated the workshop folder).

Also note that most of the HWM models have more than one texture you have to change out.
