Congrats to everyone that got their items in this year. Though I have to say, I'm a bit disappointed that they didn't put more items in, there was so much much good stuff on the workshop this year and most of my favorites didn't get in. There's always next year I suppose (assuming they look at submissions from previous years).
So is it now common practice to setup file structures in the custom folder for created content?
The reason I ask is that my weapon displays textures just fine as long as I direct the "$cdmaterials" tag to any folder that is a subfolder of "materials\models\etc.."
Now I have been seeing that valve wants added content in the custom folder so I figured I would move my folders there and rewrite all the vmt's and QC tag to point to that file structure. Problem is for some reason its almost as if the engine only wants to look in the sub folders of "tf\materials\etc\etc.."
I have tried every path I could think of in regards to the "custom" folder
I am new here at polycount and I am a bit new at making tf2 items.
It is going well with my model at this time but I have a Question and I was hoping it could be answered in this forum.
So here is my question:
How can i make certain parts of my model paintable without effecting the rest of the texture??
I would be really helped if someone could help me with this problem.
NdiaNL, there are 2 ways to achieve that. You can use an alpha channel in your color texture which makes only the white parts paintable(you also need to make sure "blend tint by base alpha" is ticked in vmt settings). If you choose to use an alpha channel, be careful about the distances between your UV islands and make sure to test your model from different distances or you may get white lines on borders of the paintable regions.
Or you can apply a second material to certain polygons if it makes sense for your model.

Of course it can. It relies on alpha maps for transparency, paintability, specular, etcs, in both diffuse and normal.
The reason I ask is that my weapon displays textures just fine as long as I direct the "$cdmaterials" tag to any folder that is a subfolder of "materials\models\etc.."
Example that works:
*in QC file - $cdmaterials "models\weapons\c_models\c_spongegun"
folder structure - tf\materials\models\weapons\c_models\c_spongegun
Now I have been seeing that valve wants added content in the custom folder so I figured I would move my folders there and rewrite all the vmt's and QC tag to point to that file structure. Problem is for some reason its almost as if the engine only wants to look in the sub folders of "tf\materials\etc\etc.."
I have tried every path I could think of in regards to the "custom" folder
try#1 : $cdmaterials "tf\custom\c_spongegun\materials"
try#2 : $cdmaterials "custom\c_spongegun\materials"
try#3 : $cdmaterials "c_spongegun\materials"
Odd thing is I have the model folder setup in the custom folder as..
$modelname "c_spongegun\models\c_spongegun.mdl"
and it finds it no problem, so one would think try#3 would also work for the materials folder.
If anyone has any info or has come across a work around to get the game to see vmt's under the custom folder it would be appreciated.

^leads me to think they need a new QCtag to point to the custom foldeR?
maybe $custommaterials "c_spongegun/materials"
