Used the Tomislav in the beta, I think the -50hp is actually quite good. Really made me think about my play style and I ended up killing Heavies before the -50hp even became an issue.
[QUOTE=Rozzy85;32462150]DXT uses indexed colour kind of like GIF but not quite the same. For a 512x512 texture, a single colour texture is 170KB. Add an alpha mask and it doubles to 341KB.[/QUOTE]
I'm pretty sure DXT is 565 depth color with DCT quantization added in post, the filesize of a color channel of the same resolution will remain the same no matter the content.
Actually the Luchadore would have clipping issues with hats other than the Hound dog and toupee.
Does anyone have an unusual in TF2 beta? Does the effect show up on class selection?

You're talking about the colour channels, I'm talking about the addition of the alpha channel mask which is required for the paint to work. Once you add that the memory used is the same as two separate textures used for team colours.
How do you even get an unusual in the beta?

It doesn't[/QUOTE]
I meant in the character select screen when you just joined a server.

Oh wow that's awesome that you see your loadout on class select.
[QUOTE=ned_ballad;32460796]they said months ago they were thinking of ways to transfer your found hats from the beta into the real game.
But nothing seems to have come from that.
Which is a shame, as I found a Dapper Topper in the beta today D:[/QUOTE]
I found a Fez, the only polycout hat I don't have in the real TF2.
now my spy can be a pedophile with the camera beard and the summer shades

All TF2 Beta users get the Saharan Spy set

Fixed it for you.
[QUOTE=MrCasual;32462149]Can I still wear Deus specs + Spin chilling skull? I like the way that combo looks.[/QUOTE]

Ok, I'm glad. I'm also glad they are actually working on horrendous clipping issues, but I feel bad for people that liked, say, Noh Mercy + Speks. It clipped a LITTLE bit it didn't look too bad.
I like Noh Mercy + Deus Specs though.
I saw a scary picture elsewhere of a Noh Mercy + Painted Spine chilling skull (To match the color of the Noh Mercy) and Deus specs.
The result was a monster that looked like freaking Satan with glowing yellow eyes.

One more thing. Can you wear the Deus Specs with the Fosters Facade?
Combined with my unusual Pyro hat, I could theoretically play as a Pyro with a head of Solid shiny Gold if I wore it with a gold painted facade with the Deus specs. But I liked Team spirit painted Facade more, lol.

ItemTest lets you equip anything with anything, it's not a good indication of what can be equipped with what.
The Skull is a Hat + Face according to the schema. Which would conflict with the Deus Specs, which are glasses.
Deus Specs + Facade works just fine. Facade is a beard, who doesn't conflict with glasses.

add a gold painted tyrolean on top of that, I'm curious
[QUOTE=NoNameForEvil;32470812]Tyrolean? Do you mean the Vintage Merryweather?[/QUOTE]
uh yes, sorry :v:
WHY IS THIS NOT IN GAME YET
I just managed to get a Foster's Facade and I am so ready for this update in regular TF2.
Wait, shit, is this going to kill the Safe'n'Sound/Earbuds combo?
[del]Nope. Thank fuck, I love that combo.[/del]

Because it needs testing and polishing?
All I need is the Deus Specs and a can of paint to become the red/blu version of that
[QUOTE=Flyingman356;32471152]All I need is the Deus Specs and a can of paint to become the red/blu version of that[/QUOTE]
Deus specs aren't paintable, so that's invalid.
I hope they fix the Deus Specs having the fire overlay in DX8
I'm stupid. The Safe'n'Sound do block earbuds. Fuck.

There's a fix for that on gamebanana.

If I can wear headphones and my ipod headphones at the same time, I wonder why engineer can't.
Then again, I can wear 2 pairs on glasses but 7 classes can't. (Congratulations Sniper and Medic)
