Not gonna lie, I've never seen this issue myself which surely complicates things.
Perhaps requires installing the "DLCs"?

Regardless, fortunately putting these files in equivalent paths in the Usermod directory (Which has absolute priority) will also work.
The Google Drive link in the description should have ALL the texture files set up to where you can just drop the "materials" folder into usermod.

I can't find the option to have the Workshop's search path over TF's in SDK. There doesn't seem to be a prompt for the SDK at all. When I launch SFM it puts me in the create/select session window.

Where it normally is.
This is a texture override addon, which if installed correctly should simply change the texture of the cosmetics in question.
SFM has the Tyrant's Helm by default so you'd just be using that.
Other cosmetics may require you extract files from TF2 via GCFScape to have in the first place to have these textures for them.

where Tyrant's Helm?

This is a known issue with multiple cosmetics.This is caused by some of the texture needing changed to white not being selected in the process.Typically the edges.
In other words, they need cleaning up. I personally do not have the patience to perfect them.
Though when I go and do more, I'll see if another method will help.

just a notice: the veterans attire is really pixelated for me, is this a known issue or what can I do to fix it?

This addon does not provide cosmetics not in SFM by default. Merely a texture override.
You can obtain the model from another addon or extracting files from TF2 to SFM.

i cant find Veteran's Attire !

what is the Shellmet labeled as?

Shooters_Supplies

What is the name of the Patriot Pouches?

Yo, I know this is late AF and I didn't realize I never responded, but surely there IS a list somewhere, but generally if the file name isn't the same as the name in game, it's the original name the cosmetic had from the TF2 Workshop before getting in game and renamed. Which is generally listed in the Wikipedia.

Is there a list somewhere that I don't know about that tells you all the searches for each item?

Thanks

These two cosmetics SFM has by default. You can add them to your soldier by using "Add Team Fortress Item" function, or you can spawn them by searching "jul13_gangplank_garment" and/or "jul13_dandy_yankee" respectively.

do you know where I can find a brawling bucaneer or a founding father soldier misc?

Assuming you have followed the instructions and gave Workshop priority over TF in the SDK.

Already done, however it is in my multi-class addon as this cosmetic was updated to add a varient for Soldier. Unfortunately you will not have this model by default, but you can extract files from TF2 to obtain it and then said addon will fix its texture.

can u make toy soldier

sick, now we can make gay penis from tf2 in shellnut

ok

Unaware of this cosmetic’s texture and just simply have not yet done. I’ll have to eventually get into the mood and comb through all the newerish cosmetics and ones I missed and update these addons.

why not the climbing commander

well thx any way

The problem with the Warpig has an issue that I do not know how to deal with myself. Someone else had the AO fix on Workshop, but I can't find that anymore.

Can you at the war pig? because you can see throw the dam thing wen i place it.

Because I never posted them before.

I dont remember seeing no ponies on ur profile or anything

I was that before you even knew me. And even then, I require motivation and inspiration to get back into SFM like before. That of which has become more scarce to come by.

Majestic... You're a pony now... Wtf mang :,( ???? Give me back mah sfm homie.

Umm quite confused here :p but, thanks anyway

By opening the SDK, which can be done as the second launch option when opening SFM.. The bottom most option on the menu for SDK will be to edit search paths. Select that, then drag Workshop over TF and then launch SFM. Then the changes will apply.

So what do I have to do?

Not at all. Since the VTF files are in their respective paths, they overwrite what is seen of the models in the TF file directory of SFM if you place the Workshop path over TF's in SDK.

Although these textures CAN technically be applied via "$basetexture". I just have it set up to not need to do that.

Is this about the $basetexture thing?
