Modules do not work!

[cunning storm]

I have just gotten back into TF2 and heard about Mastercomfig. I installed the low preset with custom modules, but the modules are just not working. I hate having my weapon view models such low quality and in my cfg override folder with modules.cfg it says my lod=ultra (along with other things I changed) and it doesn't work at all. I have been re-installing/re-launching and now I have just given up. I would really love for the modules to load and I have followed all the steps on this: https://docs.comfig.app/latest/customization/modules/#module-level-aliases to no avail. Help would be greatly appreciated!

[burnt dirge]

could you please .zip up and send your cfg and custom folder, alongside sharing your launch options?

[cunning storm]

here are my launch options : -novid -nojoy -nosteamcontroller -nohltv -particles 1 -precachefontchars -w 1728 -h 108

I dont know how you would like me to send my cfg and custom folders though

[burnt dirge]

you can send them in this chat if you'd like

if you're unable to due to size constraints, then you can put it on a third-party like mediafire

[cunning storm]

yes its saying the files are to large to send

[burnt dirge]

oh, i think i might see the issue

[cunning storm]

okay there we go, those are all of them

[burnt dirge]

your modules file is named modules.cfg.cfg

at the top of file explorer, could you go into the "View" tab and then check the box that says "Enable file extensions"?

and then remove the extra .cfg at the end of the modules file

[cunning storm]

well that was dumb thank you for that, and im not seeing the enable file etensions

oh nvm I checked off the box

it is just called modules now

is there anything else to do?

[burnt dirge]

add one more .cfg at the end, until it's modules.cfg

has to be specific for tf2

[burnt dirge]

there we go!

the modules seem to be set correctly, the file is named correctly, so as long as mastercomfig's working and the modules.cfg file is in the cfg/overrides folder, then it should be good

[cunning storm]

I belive it should be working

but my weapon view model with a war paint still looks blurry is there a way to change that while keeping the looks of the map?

[burnt dirge]

unfortunately, the war paint textures are controlled by the same command that controls the rest of the game's textures

so if you're wanting the war paint to be at a higher quality but the rest of the game at a lower quality, then the rest of the game's textures will be higher as well

you can bump it up with the textures module https://docs.comfig.app/latest/customization/modules/#texture-quality

[cunning storm]

oh gotcha

[unreal hawk]

@cunning storm has leveled up! (1 ➜ 2)

[cunning storm]

huh I plugged in textures=ultra and it still looks the same

[burnt dirge]

does putting textures_ultra in console change anything?

[cunning storm]

says its an unknown command

[burnt dirge]

could you screenshot your custom folder?

looks like you could be using a different tf2 install than what tf2's actually using

could you go into steam -> library -> right click on tf2 -> properties -> installed files -> browse

then see if everything in the custom folder matches what's in the one you screenshotted

[cunning storm]

yes its all the same

[burnt dirge]

oh, strange

there should be .vpk.sound.cache files being generated

could you restart tf2?

[cunning storm]

oh I see those files now!

and my weapons look better in my backpack

I really appreciate all of your help!
