Time to ramp it up a notch
Credit to Fission for porting the original model in the first place
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The name of the rar is what it is in my folders. 'hatsadvdupe' is the name of the folder in my addons, but name it however you like.
(SFMers: Instructions below will be for gmod, the pack is a bunch of vmts and vtfs with some models, I do not know how SFM works, so however you install textures and models there is your business)
You mount it to your gmod like any other addon into your addons folder. Download Extended Spawnmenu if you haven't so you can see legacy addons
steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles…
Then you find the the hats in your 'addons - legacy' folder (they are models!) and then use it correspondingly
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This addon will not be of use to many of you, as the original hats pack for gmod already has all of these hats in the basketball_caps model
'so why re-release them'
these were mainly for me, but if anyone else is having the same issue i was, then i don't wanna leave them in the dark
So if you have no issues currently with the basketball_caps model, don't download this then, it's of no use to you
but there's a reason why I had to make it, which I will explain in detail
I was looking for ways to speed Gmod up. Currently it takes about 20 minutes to boot, including the loading for a stage thing, which is less time but still annoying, and then I encountered something someone said on the internet about one of the config files. I later found out it was trash and did nothing and removed it and it started working again, but during the time it was edited, for some reason I couldn't save dupes with the hats on without gmod crashing
I don't know why
so then I had to look up an alternative duplicator tool, the 'Advanced Duplicator' which works almost perfectly with Fission's models, any skins, colours and the like get copied, and I can even name the dupes too, which was a plus, less image editing when I can just call a dupe 'edna set 1' (Edna is our dummy in the pic) or something like that
but it didn't work with flexes or bodygroups, that weren't skins, and the basketball_caps model don't separate them by skin, because the hats have different rotations normally when they're bonemerged. Plus sticker bodygroups broke pretty hard when they were skins.
So I separated Fission's hats, and then they began to work with advanced duplicator.
I still use it because at least for inklings (not octolings sadly due to the bust flex but that's like 14 characters in gmod atm) it works perfectly fine, and it's far more convenient for me that i can organise them in folders and the like, so now I have two sets of dupes, and it requires me to have two sets of this particular hat model.
I know people still use that outdated bone merger tool (why, use the easy one, you can even delete models now with it), so others might be using this and so here i am
because of this addon's relative uselessness (if you are currently using dupes with the original basketball_caps model and it still functions normally, again, I stress, there is no need for you to download this), this is why I'm putting it here and not on the workshop.
