Blue Axe skin?

[SkinkYEA]

Is there a blue axe skin for the blu pyro and a red axe skin for red pyro?

[Pie_Savvy]

Not that I know of.
But it shouldn't be that hard to do.

[xpod1]

I can probably make the BLU axe myself, but I'm not sure about making it team-specific.

Also, I'm too lazy.

[Nullianac]

It might be done. Kind of like the flare gun, or backburner, it's possible.

[mixshifter]

I'd like that myself, I love it when some skins are made team-colored when they originally weren't.

Would go well with the blu pyro's blue fire too.

[Pie_Savvy]

I might go do this tomorrow seeing as I have nothing better to do.

[SkinkYEA]

Cool. I'm using the Blue fire too and I want my axe to be blue to match better.

I just checked the GCF, and there's only one texture for the axe. The red one.

I don't think it's possible guys.

[Velguador]

There's supposed to be only one texture for it, that's the whole point.

I don't know how to do Team Specific skins exactly, but it comes down to replacing the default model with a custom one that is exactly the same, and from there on you must make it team-specific. I got a TeamColored Disguise Case and Bat that way.

[Reflectent]

Oh, OH.

Now I get it.

:doh:

[Pie_Savvy]

From what I know it's a simple reskin (changing red to blue) and a simple edit of the VMT.

I got the model to use a second skin, but in-game it still appears red. That means VALVe did something (or more likely: didn't do something) with the axe to make it not select the second skin when you're on Blu.

[xpod1]

That looks pretty damn good.

[editline]08:47PM[/editline]

I support this idea.

Strange, simple re colors are easy to make though.

[TizzYcho]

I'd download it.

[DrStalin]

Fire axes usually have a red part on them, Valve thought it would just probably be common knowledge and didn't want to recolor them. Blue just looks awful on a fire axe.

You have to use a custom model... That's really odd, but the only known way to add team-coloured skins on a weapon.
See for example [url=http://www.fpsbanana.com/skins/62815]this skins on fpsbanana[/url].
(It seems to use [url=http://www.fpsbanana.com/tuts/7316]this method[/url])

When I compared The fireaxe's QC to the team coloured Cigarette case, I found that the fireaxe textures were linking to the pyro's skin texture not the v_fireaxe.

v_cigarette_case:

$texturegroup skinfamilies
{
	{"models/player/spy/spy_hands_red.vmt"
 "models/weapons/v_cigarette_case/v_cigarette_case.vmt"
}
 	{"spy_hands_blue.vmt"
 "v_cigarette_case_blu.vmt"
}
 }


and slightly further down


// Model uses material "models/player/spy/spy_hands_red.vmt"
// Model uses material "models/weapons/v_cigarette_case/v_cigarette_case.vmt"
// Model uses material "spy_hands_blue.vmt"
// Model uses material "v_cigarette_case_blu.vmt"

v_fireaxe:

$texturegroup skinfamilies
{
	{"models/player/pyro/pyro_hands_red.vmt"
 "models/player/pyro/pyro_red.vmt"
}
 	{"models/player/pyro/pyro_hands_red.vmt"
 "pyro_blue.vmt"
}
 }

again, further down

// Model uses material "models/player/pyro/pyro_hands_red.vmt"
// Model uses material "models/player/pyro/pyro_red.vmt"
// Model uses material "models/weapons/v_fireaxe/v_fireaxe.vmt"
// Model uses material "pyro_blue.vmt"

I'm completely new to these zany things so I'm not sure which one is the 'correct' way to do it.

Try moving pyro_blue.vmt into v_fireaxe

That's what I did.
But as I'm completely new to this, Error ahoy!

:derp:
Why wouldn't the whole skin 2 thing work then?
