Description Some of you may remember (fondly or horrifyingly) the GMod-centric distributions I've made for various non-Kassegrin MLP/TF2 playermodels made by Friagram ( friagram.deviantart.com/ ) for their TF2 server. Well, its certainly been a while, and in the time since then, a couple more models have come out that I've taken an interest in.

These in particular, are a Cadence model now edited to fit the Medic slot and a Chrysalis model made to fit Spy. They're really rather good, and the latter certainly shows how the modeler's improved over time. Personally, I like the Cadence one for sticking to the Medic outfit, as varying as it may be from the norm some of us are used to. Not liking the horn's lack of normal map detailing, but looking the model files over, not much I can do to edit and fix that. Chrysalis is very impressive, but the original design of a dress is hard to get used to.

I'm looking into getting these more-posable editions out to the GMod crowd, assuming people are interested. There's a few other models Friagram's done of Spy-based Rarity and Trixie, as well as their own version of Fluttershy as a Medic. Might prepare those for GMod too, but I'm not so sure about them (Fluttermedic would at least need a reskin to fit in with the other standard MLP/TF2 models). You guys judge for yourself via her gallery and blog. In addition, I think Illu-Mint's old upload of the Applejack Engie and Big Mac Heavy models was deleted in her gallery cleanup, I might want to make some hexes for those myself (will want to dig out the version where the BLU Heavy isn't Time Turner for that, too).

I got all of them to work... except for Celestia when she is holding the Sniper's primary weapon. It freaks out ALL the time!

Hey, Andrew? I wanted to say thanks for the help with getting the Cadence Medic model to work for me in Team Fortress 2.

Can you tell me what I need to do with being able to use it in Garry's Mod? I know I downloaded the stuff from Kassgrein and the files from Friagram, but I don't know the directory in Garry's Mod to put it in...

And when I mean "downloaded from Kassgrein", I meant downloaded the files from Mediafire. Sorry.

Check the links on Friagram's account. She has a blog where you can find the downloads for everything. WIll just require access to Google Docs to download them.

Though for the GMod bit, I'm working on versions of the models ready for GMod use.

Regarding Friagram, I already took care of downloading all the files on Google Drive from her and sorting them into their respective classes and characters.

Let me know when your Garry's Mod versions of the models are ready. I have the ZIP folders with the Garry's Mod-related stuff from Kassgrein, I just need to know where in the Garry's Mod directory I need to extract the files to.

Also, how were you able to pose Cadence, Celestia, and Chrysalis, in this piece with the Medic anyhow if you are still working on the Garry's Mod versions?

"Working on" translates to "still need to pack things up for a release deviation, and that's depending on some concerns I have with Big Mac Heavy and Applejack Engie models I'm wanting to include in the release as well.

Oh, okay, but you haven't quite answered my questions about where to put the ZIP files I downloaded and how you were able to pose Celestia, Cadence, and Chrysalis in your piece with the Medic.

Thanks for the heads up about your concerns with Heavy and Engineer. I hope you get them working right.

Andrewnuva199 In reply to Sonic5421 [2014-07-10 22:51:24 +0000 UTC]

How? I took the model files and put them in a GMod addon of mine, gave them better physics, spawned the models, and posed them. No replacing other characters required.

ZIPped files meant for TF2 go in the "custom" folder of that game, GMod files go in the "Addons" folder and require Legacy Addons to use, or are merged with the main Garry's Mod folders.

Sonic5421 In reply to Andrewnuva199 [2014-07-11 02:16:16 +0000 UTC]

So I get that I need to put the stuff from Kassgrein into the Addons folder for Garry's Mod.

As for the model files, I need to put those in a folder, and put that in the Garry's Mod Addons folder, and that will allow me to spawn them, right? Or do I need to put them over in TF2, and spawn them via having TF2 installed with Garry's Mod?

Let me know ASAP. Thanks.

If you downloaded it off Kassegrin's profile, it's for TF2 and Tf2 only.

If you got it from anywhere else, place it in your GMod Addons.

Sonic5421 In reply to Andrewnuva199 [2014-07-12 13:26:58 +0000 UTC]

I downloaded the stuff from Kassgrein involving Sniper Twilight and the other Princesses from Mediafire. It was through the links under your downloads section of your gallery.

So, if I did that, then I'm all set. I just have to extract the files into my Garry's Mod Addons folder, and I'm all set to use them in Garry's Mod.

Double-check if I did this right, Andrewnuva, and get back to me to ensure I'm on the right track, and sorry if I am causing you too much of a headache about this.

Yeah, and sorry again. I thought that the piece I was referring to was in your Garry's Mod downloads section of your gallery. It was in your Garry's Mod Photography section and this was the one I was talking about that was concerning me:

Now that I know what to do to use the Princesses in Garry's Mod in their human-like states, I'm all set. Thanks for the help, Andrewnuva.

Alright, thanks! I'll see what I can get done next time I'm on Garry's Mod with the files I downloaded of the Princesses and everything else from Mediafire.

Thanks for doing all of this, Andrewnuva! Keep up the hard work!

Another quick question.

I know where to obtain custom models in TF2's directory, but where did you acquire the models in the pic above?
Or are you just planning to port them all over yourself?

Andrewnuva199 In reply to TIShadster [2014-07-06 01:06:22 +0000 UTC]

I'm planning a release with the Enhanced Physics for maximum GMod posability, but you can certainly download the stuff yourself. Just check the modeler's blog for links:Β friagram.blogspot.com/ You'll need Google Drive to get them.

Speaking of which, in my recent session making Stormbadger's bday pic, the Celesniper model was in the TF2's spawnfolder once again as it did in Gmod12 before individual hexes of them were made. Pretty much making the HWM Sniper model the only regular sniper model on mine, I dont really know how to get the standard sniper model back in working order

These models be damn beautiful. Will have to look into acquiring them myself next time I frequent that particular server.

Though, the thing that still bugs me about these Pony TF2 models lies with the Twilight Sniper model. Poor thing's still got busted faceposing, which has put a damper on one particular project I was working on.

Andrewnuva199 In reply to TIShadster [2014-07-04 23:13:45 +0000 UTC]

A-frickin'-men, there. Something about the particular vertexes on Twilight Sniper's eyelid faceposing and the latest iteration of GMod 13's faceposing manipulator just don't seem to mix. HL2's Vortigaunts have the same problem, though now there's an enhanced version of the model out there that works around it, but the point still is that something's wrong this version and those two model's eyelids. After a year and a half, I'm annoyed it hasn't been fixed.

As am I.

I'm still kinda sorta hoping someone can fix the TwiSnipes model. But those hopes are starting to dwindle.
But oh well. We make do with what we've got, I guess.Β

So these aren't models that can be integrated into the game like the ones on the TF2pony site? I saw one of Rarity on the poniponi server...but I can't find it...

Search through your downloads folders in TF2.

They're pretty easy to get into GMOd these days, actually. THey're all in a "custom" folder within the "models" folder, so hexxing isn't a real bother. All I need to do to make them perfect in GMod is add the enhanced physics.

TheTruePsychopath In reply to Andrewnuva199 [2014-07-04 23:11:13 +0000 UTC]

No, no. You misunderstood. In TF2 there are mods that allow you to play as pony models instead of the original. I only know the three for sniper, the one for zecora, and thoe ones for scout. I can't find any others like that.

Andrewnuva199 In reply to TheTruePsychopath [2014-07-04 23:20:47 +0000 UTC]

The ones I showcased here that are made by Friagram aren't premade to replace the TF2 classes in the traditional mod manner so that may be what you're thinking. Kassegrin made the originals, and you can find them and a Pinkie Pyro one here:Β kassgrein.deviantart.com/galle…

Another guy did Heavy and Engi, I though those were on GameBanana, but they may've been taken down, given Gamebanana habits, hold on... ah, the original modeler's files on Google Drive. Engi Applejack and Heavy Big Mac are there, though last I heard that Rarity Spy was unfinished.Β drive.google.com/folderview?id…

Yeah. I found that. Unfortunately, I can't use those models because they don't work. They aren't VPK and, like any and every non-vpk file, converting the folder with all the pathways does not work. I am not surprised in the least.

Andrewnuva199 In reply to TheTruePsychopath [2014-07-06 14:58:49 +0000 UTC]

Well, that's because it's not made as a mod to replace Medic. Just an extra model you can wear cosmetically on the modeler's TF2 server.
