Also no group stickers

@mdiasdesign this wasn’t intended to be like the conscientious objector where you can make this and have everybody else see it, it’s meant to be like the hat importer where it’s for uploading to the workshop

@JAS-C under layers are already a thing

Actually I changed my mind this is corny af there’s no support for double groups tech

im pretty sure this is just a mockup and its not some feature complete perfect thing, theres talks about actually doing it with the sdk tho

It's sad that a community can (and does) do better than a literal multi-billion dollar company.

I dream for this

:D

Incredibly based, edged to this 10/10

volvo please add this

cool concept but i do think some people could abuse this to do a full hentai set, but to be fair it is team fortress 2 we are talking about

Honestly a feature that would be amazing for the community, along with a lot of the other unadded fixes from the summer update.

This would be really cool to have honestly

i think he is talking about custom wear

I'm currently more interested in underlayers. Like why it should be added, what it gives to painters etc.

currently war paint creators are really limited when they want to make a war paint. other item types have better tools and war paints have nothing. this submission is a hope for that

\/ For what exactly? I'm not workshopper but just curious. And partly to know if this proposed tool can possibly fix that.

man all I want is to create warpaints with underlayers

that do not use the same 2 ♥♥♥♥♥♥ base templates

there are so many concepts that I made and which were
dead in the water because of how limiting the 2 base
templates are

steam point farm

While it may be unlikely that Valve will re-create/implement this importer concept exactly, it is important to know that they already have the means themselves to streamline the War Paint modification process. This is further implied through a leaked screenshot a while ago showing off what appeared to be an in-house importer for War Paints - which we don't have access to.

What matters in the end is creators having access to more advanced tools. Given Valve's recent support for V-script in maps and similar, propositions outlined in this submission are entirely within Valve's reach.

as much as I would love to see this added, too; why dont you band up with other folks to mod this into the game? submitting this as a proof of concept is useless because it's very, very doubtful that Eric Smith would do something beyond adding community-made cosmetics.
this submission looks nothing more than a painting rather than a prototyped solution. get real for a minute

VALVE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AD THIS PLS!

I think when they say «orientation lock» they mean rotation lock which is set via «Rotation» option.

@Real Reality (Real) Albedo tint is set through the VMT section as it is a VMT file. Orientation lock is set through the transform x,y values. Just set the range to 0:0.
As for setting these values per group: it's impossible with the current way patterns are handled within the game. Values and attributes like orient. lock, albedo tint, etc. must be done per-texture. Groups are only a means to apply each texture onto each weapon per its' set values.
Lastly with custom war paints: that's what the UV paint window's for.

Also custom everything on textures. U get to pick which groupings get orientation lock, albedo tint, gradients. That grouping system is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ genius you could do so much with it. Also please have have a way to have custom tailored war paints like dragon slayer. ALSO THIS WOULD PROBABLY MEAN WARPAINTABLE DRAGONS FURY. ADD IT VALVE PLEASE I BEG OF YOU GABEN

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE (also where is albedo tint and orientation lock)

whoppe.

There is a God.

Now thats how you do it, simple to understand, and all it needs is a bit of practice, good work!

@Conflagration It's Valve. You can't be sure at anything. Like, do we thought that Vscript would be a thing a 3 years earlier? No. What about Gas Passer fix? We thought it was set in stone. The last comic? Maybe in dream, but yet we here and I'm not waking up no matter how much I'm pinching myself. So look, Valve can do this thing if it would be a lucky day. And at least we could trying - it not looks like something fishy happening under this initiative in the end.

there's no harm in trying. you miss all shots you don't take after all.

>Some sort of tool and acknowledgement from Valve are needed.

You have completely wasted your time even coming up with the idea of this, let alone making anything and uploading it. Valve are not interested in anything that requires any kind of effort on their part.

it's part of War Painter's Letter.

>We also sent it directly to Valve via email
Oooh, now we talking!~

We also sent it directly to Valve via email

How do you suppose you could propose this to Valve further than just the workshop?

Nothing else I can say, its great and needed for warpaint/skin creators, it really turned out great!

Thanks. Both Kay and me worked on this, not just me

Outstanding work jacov!

Valve please for the love of god ADD THIS.

this rules, this would be so good

i'd like to get a navy paint, for war

War (paints) has changed
