It will be really difficult finding them, but if I do then yeah they will be included.
May need help finding them though.

Or you could just make them yourself.
Like, I was thinking of a shrill, thin wind sound for the flamethrower, sortof like that screaming sound you hear in blizzards.
And maybe an alteration for the flare gun to make the sound more crystalline.

The world model pyro is looking less like a flashlight, but again with the particle effects.

Also, any ideas of reskins for the flamethrower? And if I can figure out modeling, a pick axe for mele would be awesome. There is one in the Ep3 beta leak. (wasn't that fan-made though?) Then I can give it textures more suitable for TF2.[/QUOTE]
I've talked with Bolty from FPSB about the flamethrower's particles, and that happens to anyone and everyone. What's wrong is VALVe and the way they did the flamethrower's particle. If you look at the vtf, it's a series of sprites that should go one to the next to create an animated sprite. But when you edit the vtf, it looses whatever it is that tells it "ok, this portion of the sprite, then this one, etc.,." There's a program he recommended so you can redo this, but I forget what it's called and he's on vacation until the end of the month. :frown:
Will list a bunch of tools from the Dev Wiki:
3DSMax VTF Plugin
IrfanView
Paint.NET Plug-in (clearly not)
Photoshop Plug-in
Shell Extension
VTFTool
VTFCmd
VTFEdit (already have)
VTF Explorer
studiocompiler
I don't recognize those as anything he said. I think it started with an "m".
Wow, this thread got popular. Thanks for the skin, BJK!

Have you changed the flamethrower.pcf's colors? If not they will stay orange-red.

Well, nobody reads VGcats anymore since he decided to stop updating on a regular basis.
I didn't steal anything from the forums. I heard the term Cryokenisis (Power of ice) and thought about the Pyro, then I posted it here. I didn't know it was on the forums, so shut up and get out.

This. I gave up on VG cats and used the joke my friend made, not knowing it was there.

oh my god, this is the best idea ever
Ice ball launcher for flare gun now please.

Could I have something to edit the PCF please?
[QUOTE=Kaliber;16633528]Ice ball launcher for flare gun now please.[/QUOTE]
Good idea, will attempt.
UPDATE: Just finished custom sounds. :dance: The first 10 seconds of spray sounds decent, but after that it sounds like a full blown blizzard with a nice transition. I think it's finished. (the FT sounds anyway)
Edit:

As you can see, the mele isn't working yet. Currently a fap taunt. :v:
I'd think id be way better if they were new models as well as sounds,effects and textures
Some Ideas
Flamethrower could be Frost-Sprayer.
Shotgun could be an Icicle Shard Shooter.
Axe Could Be a Pick Axe and the Axtinguisher could be a pick axe with the axetinguisher theme.
The Flare Gun could be a snowball shooter :3:
And the back Burner could be something Mr.Freeze Inspired!

You edit particles with the in-engine particle editor.
Extract TF2 particles.
Add-tools to the launch options on TF2.
Start TF2, go into particle editor mode (Tools Submenu > Particle Editor), open pcf file.
Have fun figuring it out. (Check in Operators and Initializers, the functions are pretty straightforward)
Thanks, but once in the game, how do you get to the actual editor? What do you type in the console, or is it a launch option?

You don't do it ingame.

Say what?
Lemme give a slightly more detailed tutorial. Pictures will come.
Open up the "tf2 content" gcf, then find and and extract the "flamethrower.pcf" file under tf/particles to wherever you want.
Go to TF2's launch options (right click TF2, properties, set launch options) and add "-tools" to the options.
Launch TF2. You will be booted into the TF2 Tools, which includes a commentary, particle, and I believe a texture editor. Go to the Particle Editor by clicking the "tool" menu, then particle editor.
Open the "flamethrower.pcf" file. You will find a list of particles on the left. They include things like "flamethrower", "flamethrower_blue", "flamethrower_crit", "flamethrower_crit_blue", etc.,.
Below the list you will find where you actually mess around with the particles. Select one and poke around. It's advised you know a little about programming/modeling/what-have-you so you know what the terms means (things like children, operators, etc.).
Once you make a particle you like, find the console (the command line at the very, very bottom), and launch a map with the "map <map name>" command. A list of maps should automatically appear after typing "map ".

Download link coming soon when I make sure I didn't forget something.
EDIT: I tried joining a server with the mod, but it refused to connect because it didn't like me editing particles\burningplayer.pcf. What is this all about?
The sounds don't really feel icy.
[editline]07:49AM[/editline]
A suggestion would be to make them a bit more high pitched and airy, sort of like a banshee scream.
