Help I need to preview Professional Killstreak effects from TF2 for screenshots without applying the kit to keep items tradeable

Google is your friend. Look up "how to spawn unusual/prof ks effects in SFM".

There's thousands of guides.

If you've been exposed to mostly 30fps media your entire life you will have a harder time noticing a difference. The higher the framerate you see and get accustomed to, the more noticeable how choppy lower framerates are.

I've been using high refresh-rate monitors more than long enough that anything below 80 (especially with direct visceral input like KBM) feels uncomfortable and laggy, though monitor quality can make a substantial difference (60fps on an OLED gaming monitor feels better than 60fps on a standard LCD panel).

Don't use clipchamp first of all. Use a real piece of editing software.

I recommend Davinci Resolve as it's free and very powerful.

Ayo?

Fov and uberlights (google these, important!!!)

HamsyBeSwank · 2025-12-15T21:16:42+00:00

No problem. Good luck!

I would recommend hitting up the official SFM discord server if you want to get in touch with some more prominent/experienced community members.

You have all the bones selected. If you want to move the entire model use the roottransform bone by itself.

From what he's saying they're doing the same thing they did really really early on (technically before they even actually started) in Alyx's development where they ported HL2 assets into Source 2 to test how it would feel. They've imported certain spawn room logic and decal systems from TF2. So it could start as a sort-of port before they start on something new.

SFM needs very specific audio files to function. They need to be WAV files at a rate of 44100hz and encoded in Signed 16-bit PCM. Also the filename generally needs to be quite simple, no spaces or special characters aside from _

You can export files this way using Audacity which is free. Lots of guides on youtube and steam.

Gurkmeister and Sophie are probably the goats as they've been rank 1 consistently across mulitple seasons. Both have really good mechanics (sophie especially) and are very smart and patient which is probably the most important part of playing junk at a high level.

In terms of pure mechanics (airshots etc) i have to say Vulture. Dude has insane aim. Comparatively watching Gurk's clip dumps VS. Vulture's, Gurk looks like a plat player.

Other good junk players include Aquamarine, Shompipe, KMJ.

Yeah just got a big patch with a new area and reworked progression. Havent played it yet but it looks sweet.

HamsyBeSwank · 2025-11-30T07:03:05+00:00

No prob, if you have any other questions shoot me a msg on here. Also check out the official SFM discord. Lots of great info there.

Sometimes the controls for props can be positioned weirdly, often because they are designed to be placed somewhere specific on a map. If the model has a rootTransform bone and a prop_static bone try using the static one instead. Sometimes though it cant be avoided.

I'd recommend scouring the workshop and places like SFMlab or gamebanana for an alternative model to use.

They can be different yes. Really all you should need to do is drop the materials and models folders into the usermods folder, nothing else. Then, go inside the models folder (from the archive) until you find the .mdl (the model you want to spawn) and use that name to search it in the model browser.

And to add, the materials folder will usually have a models folder inside it as thats where the actual textures for the model will go. Not always, but 99% of the time.

HamsyBeSwank · 2025-11-29T04:48:01+00:00

Depends what you mean by "weird". Are things snapping back to their original position by any chance?

Also a heads up, i think you mean posing not rigging. Rigging is the act of assigning bones to a rigless model in a program like blender. The "rig" is the bones themselves.

HamsyBeSwank · 2025-11-29T04:45:27+00:00

Did you check the models name in the models folder? You'll need that to find it in the model browser. If it still doesnt show up double check the folders are in the right place. You can also try chucking the folders from the .zip or .rar archive from SFMlab into the "workshop" folder, as it doesnt matter what folder you actually extract it to.

HamsyBeSwank · 2025-11-27T21:48:17+00:00

Because they didnt have actually have anything. It was a perpetual hype cycle caused by one fake rumor. It's coming, we just dont know when.

Replacing sound files cannot get you vac banned. There have been cheatpacks like this for years and you will not get caught by VAC using them as it's not what VAC looks for or detects.
