| − | == Help with getting HLMV to max quality? ==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Hey woj, I've been going through some tracking categories and found a lot of images flagged for needing new 3D models. I've got all the tools to do it (or, at least, I can fix the tools if they don't work), but I'm having some trouble with HLMV:
| |
| − | [https://imgur.com/a/2VCbOjc imgur album of a bunch of things]
| |
| − | [https://pastebin.com/xD3S0AxQ dxsupport.cfg]
| |
| − | * I'm seeing pretty sharp aliasing on the model, which says to me that none of my settings are being applied.
| |
| − | * This laptop has 2 GPUs, because it's a touch screen -- I can also try on my desktop, which has just one.
| |
| − | * As far as I can tell, the intel card is used exclusively to run the screen, whereas the Nvidia card is used for actual drawing (e.g. teams calls, watching video, playing tf2). But the Nvidia settings are all on highest (see album).
| |
| − | * I also tried to set the dxsupport.cfg override (for both cards) but nothing happened.
| |
| − | Any suggestions? [[User:Darkid|'''<span style="color: #db9c1f">Darkid</span>''']] « [[User talk:Darkid|<span style="color: #75735F">Talk</span>]] — [[Special:Contributions/Darkid|<span style="color: #BA0000">Contribs</span>]] » 15:03, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
| |
| − | :Strange, usually, replacing the dxsupport.cfg with the pre-configured one fixes most of the things. I usually don't even need to tinker my ATI/Intel settings, the .cfg does the whole job. Make sure you are not using any custom mods/files other than the fixes. The mod "CleanTF2plus" has an option to make textures flat, do you have that installed? Aditionally, you could try the following:
| |
| − | * Intentionally crashing TF2 to gather dump logs and find your exact Hardware ID to manually put on your dxsupport.cfg:
| |
| − | ** 1- Intentionally crash TF2. You can easily do this by creating a server with the "Create a Server" option on the Main Menu. After connecting it, type "sv_cheats 1" and type "addcond 1" with any class that isn't the Sniper. After the game crashes, go to Steam/dumps, and open the most recent hl2.exe crash via Notepad or Notepad++;
| |
| − | ** 2- Go to search (Ctrl+F) and type: "Uptime". Slightly below the Uptime, there's a section for "VendorId / DeviceId". This has the exact values you should put on your dxsupport.cfg, in case the pre-configured one isn't working. Follow the steps on [[Help:HLMV]], but this should be easier than the current method that is on that page, as it doesn't require to go in multiple steps on Windows settings to know these values.
| |
| − | ** '''Warning:''' This file has may have certain touchy information about your PC, so I do not advise sharing it anywhere (doesn't share with me either). For instance, it tells where your TF2 folder is located.
| |
| − | * Try tinkering with your Intel graphical settings and see if anything changes;
| |
| − | * TFMV has an option for Force Anti-Aliasing. I don't have this option enabled because I discovered that if I disable it, the anti-alias gets worse (but was easily fixable by replacing the .cfg again). You could try enabling it and see if it works for you. If it doesn't, I recommend replacing the dxsupport.cfg again (and make sure to back yours first before using said program);
| |
| − | * Have you recently checked your Integrity of Game Files? Everytime you check the cache for TF2, dxsupport.cfg will be replaced to its default values, and HLMV will look absolutely terrible. You need to replace dxsupport.cfg everytime you plan doing an Integrity check.
| |
| − | * In rare cases, having specific settings for an application on the NVIDIA control settings may result in things being worse. Try temporarily disabling the hlmv.exe entry and see if only relying on dxsupport.cfg works.
| |
| − | * Back when I had Windows 7, I had to set my HLMV to "Battery Saving" or "Balanced" as opposed to "Better Performance", otherwise I would have some weird issues. Try setting some battery-related settings on Windows or your NVIDIA graphics settings.
| |
| − | * Lastly, Windows 10 has an option that lets you use a specific GPU for an application (I think, my Windows, for whatever reason, don't have that option). It also has options related to Power saving, that may work as mentioned on the previous section: [https://www.howtogeek.com/351522/how-to-choose-which-gpu-a-game-uses-on-windows-10/ https://www.howtogeek.com/351522/how-to-choose-which-gpu-a-game-uses-on-windows-10/].
| |
| − | :My laptop also has 2 GPUs, but the difference is that I don't have NVIDIA here, which is a bit culprit on HLMV image making (has so many issues). I also discovered today that "Texture resolution on models may be displayed at 1/4 of its actual resolution (Mipmap 1) on NVIDIA graphics cards.", this information is available on the Model Viewer page on Valve Developer Community, which seems to be what you are experiencing right now. If nothing works, I'm available to do these 3D images, if you would like. I do have Python installed, but I'm not sure what specific version is being used nowadays for the 3D image creator... and I don't know what program is used nowadays either. If these steps doesn't work, try on your other computer. I haven't checked your dxsupport.cfg yet, but please try the suggestions I mentioned.

| − | ::A lot of the suggestions you mentioned make no sense because this is a clean install of steam + TF2. But, here's what I tried:
| |
| − | ::I tried the dxsupport.cfg from your repo, no changes (still very aliased).
| |
| − | ::Crashing TF2 results in the same vendor ID I got from windows, and does confirm that the NVidia card is in use (not the intel one). Which is good; I doubt the intel GPU could run TF2 anyways.
| |
| − | ::I tried loading some other models to see if they were better. They weren't.
| |
| − | ::I removed the NVidia entry for HLMV. That fixed it. Go figure.

| |
| − | :::I wasn't aware this was a clean install of Steam and TF2, I just suggested what could have been the issue. HLMV is a pretty outdated software with no real "Options" support other than editing dxsupport.cfg, and even then, it's full of issues that requires fixing. No wonder why not so many people get into image creation, sometimes it's a pain in the butt to resolve certain issues. Considering the Valve Developer Community page states that NVIDIA drivers has this problem with textures, it's possible that having the NVIDIA entry removed from the .cfg causes to not use this specific Graphics Card anymore, and it's now relying on the Intel GPU. I use a hybrid AMD/ATI graphics card with an Intel GPU as well.
| |
| − | :::Oh, and another question. Did you had the grey cornea issue with the classes' eyes (before and after you got the max settings working properly)? If so, was it fixed by simply removing the NVIDIA entry from the .cfg? I'm now curious if that's a possible fix for the grey cornea issue. There's still no real fix for the grey cornea issue other than the texture replacement I provided on the Help:HLMV page. It's also hard for me to investigate and try to find a solution as I almost never had this issue on my end (it happened a few times but I ended up fixing it with rather ease).

| − | == Über Update ==
| |
| − | Hi! I saw you removed a piece of trivia regarding the missppelling of the Sniper Rifle as Sniper Rilfe. Just like you did, I checked on the way back machine and couldn't find the misspelling myself either. However, the image of day 2 on the Über Update page does show this misspelling. Does it mean that the misspelling was actually there at some point, but not captured, or that the screenshot is different and should be replaced? Thanks in advance!

I assume editing this page is how you chat with people on the wiki, so I just wanted to give thanks for the lengthy advice on my user page!

| |
| − |
| |
| − | I've been trying to follow your [[User:Gabrielwoj/HLMV_Setup_Help_and_Tricks|HLMV Setup and Tricks]] guide to better improve my anti-aliasing. I installed HLMV++ and the preconfigured dxsupport.cfg, and I'm still running into the same recurring issue I have sometimes, where there's an odd, noticeable tear when some models are stationary. You can see it [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/634504182073655328/1051047824885821490/hlmv_q1tP1RXTAT.png here,] as a line that starts visibly on Heavy's cheek, and goes down a ways to just above where his nose starts.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I've had that sort of problem when making item icons for medals sometimes, as well. The tears go away when model position/rotation are adjusted, and only return when they're stationary. It's probably because of my graphics card, an NVIDIA GTX 1080 -- but I'm not sure how I can go about fixing it. — [[File:User ThatHatGuy Signature Icon.png|30px|link=User:ThatHatGuy]] [[File:User ThatHatGuy Signature Talk.png|30px|link=User talk:ThatHatGuy]] [[File:User ThatHatGuy Signature Contribs.png|30px|link=Special:Contributions/ThatHatGuy]] 08:17, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

| − | :I haven't had an Nvidia graphics card in a while now, so I don't know what is the issue. I have had similar problems before, see the September 22, 2020 version of [[:File:Electric Twanger.png]] (will eventually be replaced), Scout's head has this weird line, but I don't know if that is the same problem as yours. I think the problem fixed itself once I also fixed the blur issue (which fixed itself for whatever reason), I haven't remade the picture yet so I haven't checked. If you are using HLMV++, you should maximize things from the program, there shouldn't be any need to use the pre-configured dxsupport.cfg with ++ when you can use the built-in quality options. I would suggest reverting back the .cfg to default (if you don't have a backup, doing a "verify integrity of files" on Steam will restore the .cfg to default), and maxing out on HLMV++ only.

| − | :::Restore the old .cfg, then set HLMV++ to maximum, with this order (if you do the other way around, well, you'll be using the default .cfg values). If ++ still shows that it's set to Best and everything, just set to a lower quality temporarily, and set it back to Best on all the tabs. Oh, and make sure you restore the old .cfg with HLMV and / or HLMV++ closed. Then do the maximum settings things on ++ once it redownloads the .cfg from the integrity file or a backup. The texture setting should maximum by setting the highest value on the Picmip. And make sure you are using the latest version of HLMV++ ([https://github.com/TF2CutContentWiki/HLMVPlusPlus-IssueTracker https://github.com/TF2CutContentWiki/HLMVPlusPlus-IssueTracker]) As far as I know, the model quality is always set to the highest in HLMV, the pictures on the medal are related to anti-aliasing. On TFMV, if you enable the "Force HLMV antialiasing", it will change things on the .cfg file, and if you disable it, it will look pretty bad, so I suggest never touching that option.

But if I then load that same Heavy in through TFMV, because it's using the base HLMV, with "Force HLMV anti-aliasing" off, the class emblem looks jagged again. What do I do about that? Can I hook TFMV to HLMV++, do I have to re-enable "Force HLMV anti-aliasing," even though your tutorial advises against having it on? — [[File:User ThatHatGuy Signature Icon.png|30px|link=User:ThatHatGuy]] [[File:User ThatHatGuy Signature Talk.png|30px|link=User talk:ThatHatGuy]] [[File:User ThatHatGuy Signature Contribs.png|30px|link=Special:Contributions/ThatHatGuy]] 03:01, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

| − | :::::Just use HLMV++ then, other 2 image creators have been using it since it fixes a couple of things, like the grey cornea problem and blur issue. The only thing is that it's not possible to use the auto paint chart tool on TFMV with HLMV++ (because TFMV can't detect ++'s window, and HLMV++ uses $colortint_base values instead of $color2 from the .vmt, which TFMV changes only $color2 values, which is what regular HLMV uses). If you load anything via TFMV, just close regular HLMV and open ++, go to recent models, and load the one from TFMV's folder. Then use the built-in screenshot tool in HLMV++ to take screenshots instead (you'll need to have the [https://github.com/gabrielwoj/hlmv-resources/raw/main/VPKs%20-%20ZIPs%20-Releases/TFMV%20-%20Invisible%20tfmv_bg.mdl.zip Invisible tfmv_bg.mdl background] thing to work, extract the .zip to tf/custom). Attempting to remove the tfmv_bg.mdl from the submodels on HLMV++ will crash the program, although you can remove it from the Regedit, or by unload all loaded submodels from the player model, though the invisible background thing above makes it a lot easier as you don't need to actually unload tfmv_bg.mdl. Also make sure you don't have "Background" checkbox marked on "Render", otherwise the screenshot won't be transparent. Set the background color on TFMV to RGB 0 0 0 as well. Settings done on ++ should carry over to the regular HLMV since it modifies the dxsupport.cfg file.

You can see the line go down the middle, most visible at the bottom of the gemstone. It looks exactly the way it did when I just ran TFMV with "Force HLMV anti-aliasing" on.

| − | :::::::Well, I suggest trying to make things back to default. Do the following, in this order:
| |
| − | :::::::1- Delete dxsupport.cfg, hlmvplusplus.exe and hlmvplusplus.dll;
| |
| − | :::::::2- Verify integrity of game files via Steam;
| |
| − | :::::::3- Re-download HLMV++'s .exe and .dll (make sure to drop to Team Fortress 2\bin);
| |
| − | :::::::4- Open HLMV++ and set everything to maximum;
| |
| − | :::::::5- Do not re-open TFMV. Instead, look up for an item's internal model file by using Ctrl+F on the tf/scripts/items/items_game.txt file;
| |
| − | :::::::6- See if it looks better without using TFMV.
| |
| − | :::::::Another thing you can attempt is going to the NVIDIA Control Panel (right-click on your desktop), and try adjusting the graphics settings. Try adding "hlmvplusplus.exe" to the list (go to Manage 3D Settings -> Program Settings, I assume). At any instance, try using "application controlled" as opposed to NVIDIA-controlled or something like that, especially on anti-aliasing related options.
| |
| − | :::::::Lastly, if you are using Windows 10 or 11, try setting the hlmvplusplus.exe app to use your GPU, by following this [https://pureinfotech.com/set-gpu-app-windows-10/ guide] (''pureinfotech.com''). Choose "classic app", select "hlmvplusplus.exe", go to "Options" and set the radio button to your GPU. If that doesn't work, try forcing Power Saving (as back in my Laptop days, running regular HLMV in Power Saving did solved some issues, for some reason).

| |
| − | Hello! I'm trying to add images of the two new payload carts added in the [[Smissmas 2022]] update, and have been trying to render their models in HLMV. I've successfully extracted the models from both of their .bsp files, but I've run into a bit of a problem - they are both overlay models (a layer of snow on Rumford, and some festive lights for Frostcliff) that are attached to the ''original'' payload cart model. I'm not sure how to render two models at once in HLMV - any suggestions? Thanks! [[User:Epsilonal|Epsilonal]] ([[User talk:Epsilonal|talk]]) 11:04, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

| − | :From what I have seen, these are the same case as [[Bloodwater]], which aren't possible to load as "Submodels" in the Model Viewer as they are positioned by the map makers onto the Payload model. I got in contact with one of the creators of Bloodwater and he gave me some tips regarding how this works, and I know the exact placements for the objects in Bloodwater's case, which in theory, should be possible to recreate with Blender. I can't promise anything, but I'll see what I can do. I also haven't checked everything yet, it's just from a quick glance on the files. I was unable to load any models from pl_rumford but I was able to load models from pl_frostcliff.

| − | == When to use default lightrot ==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Hi! I've been doing some sporadic image work for the wiki again, and was informed in the process that default lightrots are used for most images recently. Is that only for cosmetic images, or should that be used for 2D weapon images as well? I did new versions of the Ubersaw 2D images with the default lightrot, since the originals used lightrots pretty close to that, but I tried default lightrot on the Shortstop and it looked really strange—the handle area nearest the trigger blended in with the rest of the handle, and the whole thing just looked really flat. Is that a scenario where messing with light rotation is considered acceptable? -- [[User:Reahan|Rea]] - ([[User_talk:Reahan|Talk]]) 04:49, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
| |
| − | : Well, for infobox images of cosmetic images, as well the class gallery (for multi class / all class cosmetics), it should either use the default {{code|lightrot}}, or a slight change, but nothing too drastic. Items for the Pyro usually requires some {{code|lightrot}} adjustment as Pyro's lenses are usually really bright, depending on the camera position.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | : When adjusting the {{code|lightrot}}, the model(s) should not appear very dark, the adjustment should be pretty subtle. For painted variants and item-skins (RED and BLU, as well Styles), it should always use the default {{code|lightrot}}, with the exception of some rare instances like the [[Nanobalaclava]] and [[Summer Hat]] painted variants.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | : If you make an image for a weapon that has no BLU Variant, then feel free to ''slightly'' adjust the {{code|lightrot}}. If there are team-colors (RED / BLU), then I recommend keeping the default {{code|lightrot}}. If it looks too bright, try adjusting the camera. Hopefully that helps.

All of those 25,000 are high quality images, whether those images be cosmetic preview images, painted variants, backpack icon images, hidden texture images, and even payload cart images that take over one day to make because the map makers thought it would be too easy if the payload cart was just one simple model. I said it once and I'll say it again, you are a HLMV wizard, and source ''engine'' sorcerer.

| − | :No, they shouldn't be noted as they aren't noteworthy. Any articles that had it before had been removed in the past for that reason. Adding bugs regarding fire overlay is the same as if we started adding notes to update pages that includes fire overlay too (many Valve-made artwork have them, such as this [https://www.teamfortress.com/pumpkinpatch/ update page]). Same thing if we started adding bugs that has the default HLMV cubemaps on them. These are terms used solely to image creators for the Wiki, and, most readers may not actually know what a fire overlay even is. So... bugs related to backpack icons should usually only be noted if:
| |
| − | :* The _large variant is different than the non-_large variant (see [[Fast Learner]]);
| |
| − | :* If it uses an earlier (or different) model / texture (see [[Heavy Tourism]], [[Détective Noir]], [[Lucky No. 42]]);
| |
| − | :* If it's colored differently than its default RED color (see [[Fancy Dress Uniform]], [[Backbiter's Billycock]], and somewhat the [[Gnome Dome]]);
| |
| − | :A backpack icon using a BLU unpainted variant is not considered a bug, either.

As stated on the 3D images project, it's definitely not something for the faint of heart, and I did attempt several times in the past without good results, so anyone who is able to make those, definitely had a lot of hard work behind the scenes to make them in the first place. Of course, if someone else reawards them before me, that's fine as well.
