vohh Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Yo, doing some more work on my glitched item compendium. If you dont know what it is read this for some more info https://forums.backpack.tf/topic/73779-help-with-glitched-item-compendium/ Working on universal killstreak glitches right now. mainly looking for what items do and dont show sheen, pictures will ofc be needed for proof. heres what i have so far, pretty basic If you know of any that do or dont show the sheen work please shout out and supply a screenshot. Besides just universal killstreaks im looking to see if anyone has a screenshot of the menu during the bug where you could restore just a sheen or just a killstreaker from a (kit or weapon or both, idk) this glitch led to some killstreak kits having firehorns but no sheen. Honestly any information about a time range or why the glitch happened will be really helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juicydeath1025 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I know for certain universal killstreak kits are visible on the Rocket Jumper, only because of SoundSmith. Since I can't provide a screenshot, take this video of the Rocket Jumper showing the sheen: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t feel like I’ve seen one in an inventory before. Hm. also I think I’m late to the party but congrats on that big kill purchase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be able to with an api call... well you can bc thats how items are equipped but idk if the public endpoints support that call. If you can without tearing tf2's source code apart to find it that would be amazing. (I guarantee its the same call as a pda for engy just with the class as spy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wundati Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 You forgot about Heavy's sandvich! I'm assuming his other food related items work as well Does anyone know if backpack items such as the buff banner or razorback display a sheen?

Pineapple Pizza Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Dunno if you got a pic of the crossing guard already but here it is I also own a spec ks caffeine cooler, can confirm it does not show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 2/7/2020 at 7:48 AM, wundati said: Wait, is that my Sandvich? Premium search shows mine is the only one with that sheen/killstreaker combo, I'm the one who applied it so no one else has owned it while it has been killstreak, and yet I do not remember taking this picture. Anyhow I can confirm both the Rocket Jumper and Sticky Jumper show a sheen. I can confirm the hand-held shell for the Concheror shows a sheen however I cannot say whether or not the backpack part does, but I assume it doesn't. Also the Ap-Sap shows a sheen. Also due to how limited spell casting is, I really haven't been given a good chance to check whether spellbooks apply any sort of sheen despite owning one. I imagine it would probably be restricted to Heavy's fists.

The Pro Killstreaks with an effect but no sheen are actually from a different glitch event and are different from the Restored Kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litronom Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Sheens on non-supported items will show up client wise, if you add the appropriate $sheenmap commands to their respective material files. Yet there are priority issues, if you have equipped multiple KS items. And some of them only show up in the loadout screen, which also happens to my KS Buff Banner, unless I actively have the correct weapon slot selected.

That sure is one way to verify. Yet I would limit the items to check to only weapons, as cosmetics won't have the command by default (unless they reference a weapons material file. i.e. soda cans on the Bonk Helm) There may be other factors in play, on how and when to show KS sheens on eligible items tho.

Open the "tf2_misc_dir.vpk" with something like GCFScape, locate the .vmt-files for the weapons (most of them are under "materials/models/weapons/" or "materials/models/workshop/weapons/") and open them with VTFEdit or a text editor of your choice.
