Has anyone here ever got an item into the game?

>> No.489678

nope. I've been trying to make models for valve games since half-life 1 and I have never been able to figure out their shit.

>> No.489685

i currently have about 20 items in game.

Should we do a little jam session? I think together we could stand a chance

Fine, we do all the fun work and you do all the work getting it into the engine properly.

I've been thinking about doing something as a challenge, I would have to create a bunch of assets for it because this would require some commitment by you lot.

Sometime next year or end of this year.

Making tf2 items are easy peasy, im not sure about dota

I've been trying to get something in for the game Space Engineers but my partner who's supposed to code and otherwise implement it is having trouble. He can't really communicate what he wants so I can't help him. Also the engine for that game is dog shit.

the process for putting models into a source game is tedious but quite simple.

>what you need
1. some sort of addon for your 3d prog that can export models as a .smd format.
2. vtfedit for your materials.
3. crowbar - a program for compiling the models into .mdl format that source uses.
4. a text editor. i suggest notepad++. this is for your .qc (needed for compiling) and .lua (needed for entites and sweps) files for your models.

that's really it.

if you guys are serious about getting items into source games i can teach you on this thread as it's not too extensive.

>one thing to note
source hates verts inside of meshes.
it will fuck up the physbox during compiling.

>source materials
all of the materials must be coded properly with valves command code and saved as a .vmt (valve material) file.
textures must be imported into vtfedit to be saved as a .vtf (valve texture format) file.

>proof of items in game
http://g4p.org/Forum/showthread.php?tid=1301

this is a link to the forums of a server i make models for in garry's mod, a source game.

all source games follow the same exact format and steps to get a model into them.

I think tf2 will be best, you get more creative room with it, dota 2 is very context depth and it seems to be sets of items what only get accepted, not just single items.

>> No.489823

>>489742
I think he was talking about getting an item on the dota/csgo/tf2 workshop highly voted enough that valve decided to put it in the game. He's looking for people who have done this and i'll be surprised if anyone on here has actually managed to do so

>> No.489840

>>489823
for dota shit to get accepted you just need to make it good enough for the game's hordes.

that's more coding than modeling.

no because this board consists of edgy kids who think their program is superior to every other program because they paid like $4000 for it and now they feel so proud.
Getting anything done? not on this fucking board.

Have a few items accepted. Pay can be nice but depends entirely on the items fate after being accepted and how lucky you get.

Its pretty simple to do. Its basically just follow them tutorials.

They show you everything you need to know the rest you can look up.

Blueprints a few things you will need to know.
>Level blueprints do shit within the scene
>Object blueprints are specific to that object.

Raycasts are called linetraces and almost everything has its own menu, if you have a problem with something not in the engine ask on the forums in feed back and it will be added.

I have a couple of times. Kinda slacked off for quite a while with workshop, going to start taking it more seriously soon. Source2 on the way, new game with a new workshop likely on the way, gotta hop on the endless pile of money about to happen.
