oh ok

no, sv_pure normally breaks it and that's because i can't be bothered to change the file structure to make it a casual mod because it was never meant to be a casual mod. however, there's a version of them on gamebanana that works in casual, the author asked explicitly if they could make it & it does work reasonably well, but whether or not it works is not up to me

is that robot viewmodel thingy not supposed to be in pub servers and stuff? cuz it only works in privatre servers

are you gonna release the M60 Overhaul?

100% do as you wish with them, i released them as-is for anyone to use as they want for whatever they want, all i care about is getting a mention somewhere for making them. i'm really happy to hear you loved them! i did put a lot of effort into those animations, but the set is not actually done just yet; as you noted, the inspect animations are almost completely done with just a layer or two over the vanilla human inspect animation.

i had to do this for time, as i was kind of trying to meet a deadline with their release in potatomvm. annoyingly, thanks to a poor design decision on valve's part, it's actually kind of hard to do a cheap fidget layer because the tf2 first person arms have the wrong bone orientation to make inverse kinematics possible.

if you'd like to add me, i don't think there are enough characters in steam comments to lay down the whole thing lol

Hey! I'd like to ask a few questions about the P.TF Robot VM anims - I'd like to ask for permissions to use it in a mod, obviously, and would like to see the anims ported to TF2 Classic, but I have more to ask beyond just that. I'm just really interested in the project!

What was the workflow like? All the included animations are really great, but I did notice a few (mostly inspects) while seemingly mostly unchanged had the robot-fidget. Did you layer a fidget animation onto most animations and then work from there? Even just that alone adds a lot to the vibe.

Also, what was your favorite set to animate? I'll admit, a lot of the animations are pretty funny. I wish this mod was more publicized, because the funny FaN reload and Gunslinger glitch-fixing is something way more people need to see. This pack has a lot of time put into it and I was floored by most of the anims.

:(

i never officially released it publicly because it's unfinished

where can i find fair random critical hits?

tl;dr i made those legs five years ago and wasn't super happy with them but they served their purpose for making animations at the time. i've learned a lot since then, so i intend to actually make a new model & texture that fits the robot style better; until that happens, this one is fair game, so please use it however you want

go for it

Hello, I'm making a enhanced robots pack (probably like the 10th one in existence now) and I saw a https://gamebanana.com/mods/554792 that changes Blu team to robots. The mod gives the Medic Bot a custom set of legs and according to the credits, you made the legs, so I was wondering if I have your permission to use them in my pack.

patato man

Thanks for your permission, i'll do my best!

sure, don't see why not. all i really want is credit for the work on the original arms and their animations, i don't care what you do with them beyond that

thank you. i am aware of the mechanics of sv_pure, i just don't play casual at all & primarily designed this mod for server-side use, making it a client mod at all was sort of an afterthought & continues to not be the goal of this project

i guess go for it. just make it explicitly clear that i did not actually do this conversion, and that all issues related to the mod not working in casual are not directed at me, because i did not design this mod for client-side casual use at all

Thanks my dude

Hey there, I wanted to know if I could talk to you personally. (I'm not a scam bot lol)
It's more in regards to modding. I know you mentioned that you are busy, so sorry if this is a bad time. I can come back later if now isn't the time. ^-^

my dude could u sign my profile

aye, i hope i didn't come across as brash or super short, i've spent a combined 10 or so hours in 130 degree attics making repairs over the last week and have consumed at least three gallons of water in the process, i am about as worn out as i can be & it's only going to get worse as things heat up over here, so i apologize if my patience is a lot thinner than usual.

That's fine, I hear ya. You take whatever time you need, my intention was not to seem pushy or try to rush it—I came with a question and got it answered. Thank you for your time and have a good day.

i haven't posted it to gb because it's not done yet. the release on potatomvm was done pretty much silently to avoid it being a big thing.

yes, i can make the mod work for casual using the same trick, it's trivial to do. in fact, so can you if you're so inclined, but i am not working on this project actively at the moment. to make this mod "casual compatible", simply copy the scripts folder from the casual preloader and pack it into the client-side robot mod. you can also just separate the scripts folder into its own vpk, and suddenly any mod will work using the same trick because all it does is manually precache spy's viewmodels. you still need to open up a level to preload the models.

i am not doing this right now because my irl job leaves me exhausted at the end of the day during summer with not nearly as much time to do things as i'd like; i would rather spend the time doing things i actually want to do at the moment, like playing video games or sleeping.

If you either do not know or do not wish to do what is needed to make the mod fully Casual compatible then I could probably just make a request post on GameBanana and get someone there to do it.

Have you uploaded the mod on GameBanana though? Would make it easier to link to it to show people which mod I'd like to have made compatible.

technically the same trick applies, actually

That's a shame. Thought it would be possible since via the Modern Casual Preloader I've been able to use https:// gamebanana . com/ mods/ 206261 and https:// gamebanana . com/ mods/ 468558 very consistently. Like, they work just fine.

no, unfortunately. casual does not actually support viewmodel mods, you can use some glitches to make them work sometimes but it's not a guarantee

Found your robot arm viewmodel overhaul mod through Potato.TF. Not sure how complicated this process is but would it be possible to make said mod Casual compatible?

😳

you're so true for that
