Yes, they were distracting because they took up half the screen.

Heh heh, no.
They were to awesome. thats what was distracting. even when Im playing I usually am distracted from shooting enemies by looking at the epic muzzleflash.
[QUOTE=redBadger;24602953]It looks like shit in-game, it looks as if it is floating in front of the barrel when you fire.[/QUOTE]
I hate to break it to you, but that's what it looked like in the beta. This mod has it just about spot on and I doubt you're going to get it any better than this, especially when it's getting shunned so hard.
Now you know why Valve removed it from the game. People like me who are beta junkies will appreciate having a part of history revived, however, so when I get back on Monday I'll be downloading this and enjoying it fully, especially in terms of inspecting it for ways it could be tweaked. I'm not on my own computer, so I don't have my repertoire of tools on hand. How did he do it? From what I gather, it's some sort of CTX edit? What string brought it back?
Step 1: MAKE IT WORK FOR THE MINIGUN
Step 2: Other guns.
He took the steps out of order, that's why we're complaining.

That sounds extremely ungrateful and stupid. You can't just "MAKE IT WORK". What he's releasing is his work up until now, probably in hopes of someone else from the community being able to help him. I'd rather he do that than hold it back until he gets a single specific gun working. It's not like it's a commercial release where it has to be perfect on the first try.
Christ, we've had about a hundred threads begging for this mod and when someone finally gets it at least working on the basic level, it gets extreme backlash because it's missing compatibility for one gun. It's like when there are two huge whine threads every time Valve releases a bugfix patch. It's pathetic. To be quite honest, my dislike for the TF2 community grows just a little every day.
OP should get out
Shugo you are so laid back. :keke:
"is it now"
"i didnt mean to"

I'm saying it's a start. However, the Heavy and his Minigun are iconic of TF2, most people here make hundreds of threads for the beta muzzleflash, yes, but for the minigun. I'm not trying to sound like I hate it, it's just the simple fact that the two guns we really wanted to have the muzzleflash don't have it, and the needlegun has it, which is silly and unfitting. He might have submitted it to get help, but he could have made a thread in FPSB or FP asking for help and showing what he's done so far. V1 should have what we've been asking for, not things we don't care about. That's V2's job.

If you don't like the V1, then don't use the V1 until it's refined. The whole "V1 should be what we want" is backwards. V2 is when the community's feeback/help kicks in and gets added.
The least that can be done is to not whine about it and just ignore it until it's refined. Someone who's trying to perfect the mod doesn't need dumb feedback like "where is my favorite feature, WHERE IS IT THIS IS DUMB". At this point, the point of the mod is "LOOK, IT'S POSSIBLE! WE'VE FINALLY DONE IT!". The next part is fixing up all the rough edges, not the other way around.
I'm sure there's a good reason as to why the Minigun doesn't work. I'll have a crack at it when I get home on Monday.
Hey, it's not bad. Really. I won't use it yet, but I smiled when I saw the video. I said, This man has got the right idea. I'm just saying that the minigun should have been priority #1. After seeing the other recent attempts, I regained faith in the modding community. His goals were a little off. That's all. I trust you'll fix it for the minigun, Shugo. You haven't failed us yet.
The moment I saw this thread today became the best day ever
then I saw "this will NOT work for the Minigun or Sentry"
and now I feel like I want to die.
Why is everyone being a dick about this?

I honestly don't understand why everyone has always like the beta muzzleflash so much. I think it is painfully ugly looking. It's bland, blocky, and totally stationary. If they had went with how games like [url=http://www.juegomania.org/Cel+Damage/foto/xbox/0/13/13.jpg/Foto+Cel+Damage.jpg]Cel Damage[/url] made cartoony muzzleflashes, it would have been better, but honestly, I'm very glad that they decided to move away from the original.
Oh god OH GOD THAT IS SO UGLY
THIS ISN'T BETA TF2 ANYMORE GET OUT

the tf2 community is reaching cs-community levels of crybabies and bitching. tf2 is a good game (not the best, just good) but it has one of the most obnoxious, ungrateful, bitchy and fanboytastic communities out there.
if you want to piss off a tf2 fan do one of the fllowing:
*say an update was good
*insist that tf2 is not the best multiplayer game ever made
*tell them to grow up when they start whining about something
*tell them their precious "balance" went out the window once the unlocks came out
*make fun of a tf2 fancomic
*call at least one of the characters lame
try it, they'll work.
The Spy is a pathetic cheese eating surrender monkey.

It was replaced because it looks awful. The hard, comic book-ish edges don't fit the soft, cartoonish edges that are in the rest of the game.

It's the same thing that made me stop posting here.
I don't see why people can just either enjoy playing the game, or don't play it. We don't need people flaming on people's decent efforts just because of their own stupid hate for it.
I feel this forum is turning into another SPUF, and it disappoints me.

Rated 2nd post funny
Huh, I always wondered why people jerked off over the beta muzzleflashes and begged for mods to put them back in.
Seeing the video...
I'm still wondering.
Only Facepunch would become asspained over a mod.
Go back to circlejerking over hats.
