thats archive that contains edited vmt files, and backup of non-edited

WARNING - After replacing with archive some models started burning by itself

well, idk how to fix the source of problem, but i added backup of VMT files, so you can just put them back, also you can do the same thing with adding override materials and move $detailblendfactor

Step 1

theres 2 folders with edited and non-edited vmt files
IN FIRST if you want to get files back - put "game" from folder "backup" into ...steamapps\common\sourcefilmmaker\ and apply all changes
and for newcomers trying to make models burn - put "game" from folder "edited" into ...steamapps\common\sourcefilmmaker\ and apply all changes

Step 2

If you still have running SFM - type mat_reloadallmaterials in console to reload all textures and apply file changes

All strings list

Step 3 - applying burning

add ovveride materials
Viewer>Model

move to Show in Element

find strings that are for your model and add attribute "float" with $detailblendfactor in it:

and now there is appears this what you can change to needed your result

"Its only mercs! But i also want to see cosmetics burning too!" and how to redact these files by yourself

In first of all - download[gamebanana.com] and install VTF editor (also it needs Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 im not sure which version needs, cant check it cuz already installed, it would say it to you manually )
choose needed tf2 cosmetic

add override matterials and go to models element viewer, there will be textures string that shows the path of file

open same named file that are .VMT (NOT .VTF) and find these strings:

and add slashs to 4 strings:

and then save file:

after that - reboot sfm or type mat_reloadallmaterials in console

And now it done:

A few comments down you can find a comment by Phobias mentioning script for doing so much easier, havent tried it yet, so cant really tell anything

chemicalcrutch16 23 May @ 8:05am

is there a better way to do this now? since this guide is a long time ago

Squintem [author] 28 Mar, 2023 @ 2:56am

I guess you need to go ask about that in discussions or reddit, never met that porblem before

gerardoabsy08 27 Mar, 2023 @ 6:17am

i have a problem with it, for some reason everything i open sfm it's always just a gray scren with nothing in it and i don't know what to do

Squintem [author] 13 Aug, 2022 @ 7:42am

WHY I DIDNT FOUND IT EARLIER

Phobias 13 Aug, 2022 @ 5:42am

I use the "Material Proxy Variable Sliders" script to control the burning texture to appear and disappear. Here: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1393076955

DAMN, I FORGOT TO ADD NONEDITED VMT FILES

medicocantplay 2 Jun, 2022 @ 12:54am

how can I remove the burning material

Squintem [author] 12 May, 2022 @ 10:42pm

Maybe the solution is in to make the "clone" models and put them to other directorie of sfm, cuz this effect is no need to use everytime, and turning it off for models every time - kinda sux
