Everyone likes gold.

AUSTRALIUM

oooooooh, shiny!

Who doesn't want a golden shotgun? I like this very much

No. Just no. What's all the fuzz about golden guns?

its a gold shotgun! Great work!

It just looks like this on your end.

.!.!. No, it's a client-side mod. Whoever has subscribed to the skin can see it. To anyone who doesn't have the skin it simply looks like the regular coachgun.

how does it work with mutiplayer do tey have to have the skin to join your game btw it looks really good!!

kool

ku

much love for gr8 skins

@ShellShotty glad you understand. ^^; And what parts of the .vmt determine shine brightness?

@That Gambler from Dakota
Hey that's fine, we all have to learn some way.
Perhaps make it brighter, but also check the .vmt because that is what determines shine brightness and effects.

@ShellShotty ok so the derringers which is the first gun im doing are shining but the guns texture when i make it darker doesnt seem to be making them as bright as the shotgun. Maybe darkening is wrong and im supposed to brighten the texture? sorry for sooo many questions im such a dumb noob to this. >-<

@ShellShotty thanks. ^^ ill make sure to credit you for any assets i use.

@That Gambler from Dakota
Glad I could help!
I was thinking of making more skins like this, but honestly I'd prefer to work on individual skins rather than make a series or a set of the same kind. So feel free to make more that are similar to this, in fact I encourage it!

@ShellShotty sweet i think the shine is working i just need to make the texture dark enough so the gold colored shine takes over. ^^ Thank you for the help. Also do you plan on making more gambler themed skins like this? If not would it be alright for me to make skins like this for the rest of the guns? If not thats completely cool with me.

@ShellShotty ok. ill make sure the lines are correct for the derringer.

@That Gambler from Dakota
You're going to want to edit the base derringer texture yourself, darker is better for shiny stuff.
The only thing you're really going to want to copy is the lines from the .vmt over to the derringer .vmt as well as the 'golden' texture to the derringer folder, but you still have to make sure that the vmt lines reference the derringer texture files and not the shotgun textures.

@ShellShotty so i copied the materials and changed them from coachgun to deringer cause i want to see if i can make the derringers shine the same as the shotgun but nothing seems to happen? Im pretty stumped now. Also side note i forgot to say how much i love the sound mods. ^^ make the guns sound more powerful.

@ShellShotty Thx notepad,got it! Ill give it a try and see what happens! ^^

@That Gambler from Dakota
VTFedit is crummy for .vmt files, it'll shoot out errors even for a lot of default .vmt files. I highly reccomend using Notepad++ for viewing and editing them.

And yes, it's "$phongwarptexture" "models\weapons\golden" You can rename golden to whatever you like if you change it in both the .vmt and for the file name, in case you wanted to have it be.. not gold.

@ShellShotty also whenever i try to open your two .vmt files i get an error and they dont open saying "error parsing material on line 3."

@ShellShotty So i put "$phong warp texture" "golden" to find the golden texture you used?

@That Gambler from Dakota
You have to edit the .vmt file to find a texture to use as a "phong warp texture".
It took quite a bit of fiddling around to get it to look right, and I'm not too great at explaining the process since I only just figured out how to make the shine work and not look like crap.

If anyone wants to try to make gold/shiny textures themselves, I'll throw a bone here and link an uncompressed version of this mod. If you essentially copy what I did with the .vmt and use the seprate texture that's included, you can make a shiny texture yourself. I think if you make it a separate color it will make the shine a different color, but I'm not too sure tbh.

Here it is:

I hope to see some more shiny stuff on the workshop soon!

@ShellShotty How did you make it shine like that?

Love it. Like Gambler below me, Why not make a theme for the rest? For example, having a blue skin and making a blue skin for other guns? (Not to think anyone or you are stupid, just want to make sure I'm not confusing anyone haha.)
