I can't believe there's not a thread on this already.

We have this amazing engine with amazing characters, a modelviewer that allows us to modify everything, and no funny faces thread? Unbelievable!

You can use CSS models, and way more fun: HL2 models!

To set up you HLMV to accept HL2 models do this:

1) Open Steam (and download the SDK if you don't have it)
2) Go to C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\Accountname\sourcesdk\bin and create a new text file called Gameinfo
3) Copy this code into it:

Code:
"GameInfo" 
{ 
   FileSystem 
   { 
      // If running under Steam, use this info. 
      Steam 
      { 
         ToolsAppId            211      // Tools will load the depots associated with this app ID in addition to the 
                                 // normal SteamAppId. 

         SteamAppId            220      // This will mount all the GCFs we need (240=CS:S, 220=HL2). 

         SearchPaths 
         { 
            Game            |STEAM|.\cstrike_sample_content 
            Game            |STEAM|.\cstrike 
            Game            |STEAM|.\hl2      // Note: when T 
            Game            |STEAM|.\..\hl2      // Allow use of custom models in hl2/models 
            Executable_Path      |STEAM|.\bin 
         } 
      } 

      NonSteam 
      { 
         SearchPaths 
         { 
            Game            . 
            Game            ..\cstrike 
            Game            ..\hl2 
            Executable_Path      ..\bin 
         } 
      } 

      // 
      // This can be omitted and it will use the same directory as gameinfo.txt is in for the write path. 
      // 
      // WritePath   .         // This is 'gamedir' in the tools, and the filesystem will write into here. 
   } 
}

4) Open HLMV.exe from the bin folder, NOT Steam.
5) You can now load HL2 models.

BTW: Does anyone have a way to make the HLMV video settings higher? All textures are a bit low res.

My G-Man is having a big WTF moment:

EDIT: ah I get it, the G-Man has a low and high res model. Now one with the high-res:

"Yeah baby, yeah... go on... oooh that's nice!"

I see a problem with it, somehow

this: Game |STEAM|.\cstrike_sample_content

becomes this: Game |STEAM|.\cstrike_sample_conten t

So move the 't' back a little. It should work then.

Hell, I'll upload it!

Same here. When I try to launch the viewer through Steam, I can load models from CS: Source.

But when I launch it from the folder, I can't load anything.
 
holy crap!! i didn't know you can mess with that stuff!! woot!!
 
How do I get rid of the sticks in the model's faces? See attachment.

naw thats not it, it's something else.

I sometimes get it, sometimes I don't have no idea what the command is to turn it on or off.
 
I was wondering how to do this stuff. Can you load up sound files to have them talk? (sorry if you said that, I just skimmed)
 
I don't know if anybody remembers the Soundgarden video for Blackhole Sun...

Just double click the SDK in Play Games.
 
I don't understand why everyone thinks Alyx is so hot...

how can i move the camera so i can look directly at their faces?
 
Breen let's one go...

Awesome thread btw....THanks for the info!

The left click rotates the camera. The right click zooms in and out and if you hold CTRL+SHIFT and Left Click you can pan up and down....Or something like that.

Here's a screenshot of Breen letting one rip...

For some reason that devilishly smiling G-man reminds me of a Agent Smith from The Matrix o_O Hilarious stuff
 
someone should do a HL2 village people act, using several screen grabs and putting it into a .gif :p

Sorry, I couldn't resist when I saw this Alyx pose ;(

PS: Before anyone asks, this can't be done in HLMV and required Photoshop.

Go to your room.
 
How do you get those red blue green lines outta their faces?
