Ah fantastic. It's hard to work out what's wrong when it somehow still shows properly regardless. It must have been referencing files in some long since forgotten location even though I specifically told it not to. On both computers. I'm not even going to try and work that one out.

Anyway thanks again and enjoy (at last)!

It works! Ein looks so gorgeous! Thank you for troubleshooting this. Hope this wasn't too inconvenient for you lol.

Well that sounds hopeful at least. I've updated it again but if it doesn't work this time I'm out of ideas.

Yes, I do have the VPK in the custom folder and not the folder that hosts the VPK file in the custom folder. The current upload fixes the backpack icon, but the model itself still has the same issues as before. https://imgur.com/a/MWCDwXO

Thanks for your help with troubleshooting this. I've uploaded another version and downloaded it on a separate computer without any of my files to confirm it works. I don't really know what else the problem could be.

Just to double check, you definitely have the VPK in /custom and not /custom/ein_update etc?

Hm. No luck on my end. Like I said, the models is appearing but the textures are still appearing as an error alongside the backpack icon being a missing texture.

Oh no! The downloaded version works correctly on my end but I'm guessing it's something to do with the wrong name in the VMT files. It's been a while since I've released a mod but I'll check if that's the problem and update it if so.

Not sure what's up but the textures are appearing as missing on the model. The VPK is in the custom folder https://imgur.com/a/xDleYF8

Hello everyone, sorry for taking so long to respond to you, I appreciate how frustrating I can be. I guess it's best to summarise the most talked about point but if I've missed anything please do leave another comment.

Regarding Ein, I've been waiting just like you guys in the hope that he'd be included with some of the other improvements the game has been getting recently. I think it's probably safe to assume that it's not going to be an official thing considering this is the 10 year anniversary of the submission. You've all waited long enough, so I'm planning to upload it as a skin by the end of the year.

As for individual requests, I'll try and get around to you in the coming days if you're still interested. Thanks again for your patience!

Hello, I am an editor on the TF2 wiki and wanted to confirm that the name for Scrooge McDoc is a reference to Scrooge McDuck. The wiki requires a direct confirmation from the creator for trivia and stuff so just want to confirm with you.

Hey, just wanted to let you know, the recent TF2 update changed the scout's pants on BLU to be actually BLU team colored, which affects the Bootenkhamuns since the boots no longer blend well with BLU team, if you need any help with sending a fix email to eric smith, DM on discord (my username is the same as here)

Hello Dewzie, I was wondering if you can upload your cosmetics (in particular the hangover and it's accompanying feather bonnet) to Loadout.tf . I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants to create loadout combos with your well made cosmetics and what not. If not, that's okay. Hope you respond, thank you.

Hey Dewzie, its been a couple years now and I'm wondering if there are any updates on getting the Einprovements added to the game and/or a mod being made to have it client side (like on gamebannana or something)

Hi Dewzie! I'm a small TF2ber, and your Teufort Knight is a key element of my signature loadout. I was hoping I could add you to ask some questions, so I could make a video on this item?

This may be a bit of a long shot, but I was wondering if you could sign the ein for me? I would greatly appreciate it! Also thanks for your workshop contributions! :)

Ayo im making a custom tf2c weapons pack and id like to use some of the items that you have made, asking for permission and for files for some of them as they are nowhere to be downloaded from other than directly from the steam page, which only creator can do

want to offer you some of my concepts

Interested in asking you questions about workshop submissions.

dewzie i wanted to ask you if theres any way to get the eingineer bird head in sfm i really like the cosmetic

Hey Dewzie, I wanted to drop in and say thanks for creating the funniest weapon in tf2 - the loose cannon. It is an absolute blast to play with. Cracks me up every time to see the enemy getting dispatched to space with the 2x donk. Thanks again.

Hello Dewzie. You and I both want the Einprovements into Tf2. As it currently sits, Valve has no plans on releasing it/updating the current models. I was hoping that you could possibly release a mod for tf2 that replaces the old ein model with the new one. I also suggest submitting it to creators.tf and maybe have a shot of them adding it to their servers. I really hope Valve will officially add this, since the Ein is probably my favorite cosmetic. Hope this gets read sometime soon. Thank you

Hi, I really admire your workshop items, Id love to ask you question, is there any way to download your content for SFM ?

Australium loose cannon (I NEED IT)

Hiiiiiii Dewzie I was wondering ig you could make the Circuit Breaker a skin to download becouse valve isn't putting much attention into it

Hey do you stll create stuff for tf2?

Hey Dewzie,when are you gonna do a Cosmetic Repleacment Mods for the Improved Ein and the Eingineer? (replaeces the Buzz Killer or the Beep Man)

Hello FailBucket. I'm still working my way through concepts from other people at the moment, so I'd recommend collaborating with someone else for the time being. If not, I'd be happy to take a look in the future but you might have to wait a while. Thanks for getting in contact though!

Hey there Dewzie, I have some concept art for a medic misc and I'm looking for someone who could model it for me. Please let me know if you are interested in working together.

Pyro needs love too.

Yo, could you please make a mod for the ein head for engi? i really like it, and valve wont add it for some reason.

I wasn't aware of that so thanks for letting me know. I don't have any plans to update the Data Mining Light right now, mainly because I didn't know about the situation but also because I've been trying to get them to update Ein for years and getting nowhere.

Hey dude, You know how the original Mining Light was made a misc, any plans for a DML misc?

Man your Idear about the Berrlin IS THE BEST IDEAR EVER Share it to ALL your friend I WANT IT INTO TF2 <333

I don't know what I've done with some of the files but I'll look into it.

Could you possible make a mod for the balloonicorn costume for pyro?

Hey there Dewzie. Unfortunately I haven't found the time myself to do anything Steam related or anything relating to the hat due to college. Anyway I have yet to find anyone else for the hat project, so if you're still interested in giving some feedback that would be great.

@JuanBurrito | trade.tf - I don't really know much more than you. My older stuff was made when I first started learning how to make things for TF2, and as such isn't as good as my more recent submissions. So quality would likely be a deciding factor there.

As for how something gets put in the game, first of all we use a 3D modelling program to make the structure, and then use image manipulation software to add the colours. From there we convert it via the TF2 importer and check it works as intended. Then we submit it and it appears on the Workshop.

I don't think Valve has a dedicated judge but the ratings and comments you leave on submissions definitely help fulfil that role.

@Selbi Inkile - I've delayed replying to you in the hopes that if I waited just one more week they would have updated it. Unfortunately that doesn't seem like it will ever happen. I've emailed multiple times but I can only assume it's not something they want to change.

@|◊GG◊| Phantom - That sounds like an interesting idea although I think Valve already does a similar thing each Smissmass.

@Nuclear Era - I'm really sorry I've only just seen this. Hopefully you found somebody else to give you some feedback!

Dew(suppose it can be short for Dewzie), i was going through the workshop and i found some 2012 stuff of yours that i found really really cool, and wonder why isn't this on the game? Can you educate me on how does something gets put on the game and if valve has someone whos job is just to decide if some item gets put in the game and if we as a community can do something to get items put in the game, because in my point of view workshop reviews don't work and can only be used as a place to showcase stuff. Thanks for your time and i would love to hear from you.
Juan

Hello there Dewzie, I just wanted to ask if you'd like to collaborate on a Halloween item. I've had this idea for a while but I've had no success in bringing it to life recently and some criticism on said item would be appreciated, any sort of criticism really. If you don't have the time I understand but if you're interested, please leave me a message. Thanks.

Dewzie I have an idea for a weapon.A candy canse shotgun that goes with the balloonicorn onzie.It acts like a reserve shooter and gives pyroland.And great workshop items.

May I ask how the Einprovements are coming along?

Thanks for getting in contact Chip! Unfortunately I'm not going to be able to work on TF2 stuff for a few weeks and I already have some things lined up for when I return. You might be better off finding somebody else to collaborate with, but if you really want me to take a look I can do so when I have more time?

I have an idea for a cosmetic I would love to share with you, already have a rough draft prepared for discussion,

uhh did someone ivite me who

Thanks, good luck, hate to see tons of fixes go to waste.
