Yeah, but oh well, c'est la vie. My best guess is that the custom wear got added via an unconventional means, rather than through a simple vtf file, and as such can't be edited directly from the base files.

And considering that all of the workshop paints I've seen that use it as a base are lacking a custom wear, I'm probably not the only one who doesn't implement it.

At least there's an albedo tint so lower wears are still editable by a fair margin.

That's pretty weird, couldn't tell ya unfortunately

Yeah I would've loved to add a custom wear, although it doesn't seem like it's possible to edit the custom wear using a necromanced base, even though it technically has custom wear.

v2 looking good! I still think some custom wear would complete it, but otherwise good work.

I'm aware of how to remove the HUD, the friend who took some of the screenshots merely forgot to implement it, but thanks for the other tips!

And custom war paints don't work in casual altogether lol

When taking screenshots for promos you can use "cl_drawhud 0" to hide the hud to have more of a focus on the warpaint showcase itself.

Making the promo shots be a single image per screenshot (instead of the collage style) would also make it easier to look at the details of the skins.

Also, there is a mod for removing scratches, dirt & blood from skins and makes said skins look like they're FN (doesn't work on causal tho).

GIVE IT TO ME!1! GIVE IT TO ME11!

The paint looks like it's probably good but it's hard to tell for sure since the promos have some issues. The collage-style promos have shots that look like they were taken with low-quality rendering settings; it's difficult in particular to tell if the stickers look good at all. They also have green edges anti-aliased in.

The in-game shots look like they might have been taken in higher quality, but I can't tell and if they were then any benefit of this is completely counteracted by their having been shrunk down to accommodate four to a frame.
