Emporium XLII

[QUOTE=Populus89;33966039]If we're going to have theme "community updates" every two weeks there won't be much point to them.

The reason why Medieval and Halloween were so popular and well done was because they took time, and had a huge gap between them, making sure there is enough hype.

Tal if you're going to spew updates every month, the mods will be shit, no matter who makes them due to lack of time, there will be no publicity due to nobody really knowing who the fuck you are, and no modder in their right mind will apply.

I know you're just trying to be the next Mnemosynaut, and guess what, it ain't working.[/QUOTE]

It was my idea to start a compitition. Tal told me that Ronin was challenging spark to make the scout vest. So I said to him: wouldn't it be fun to have like a compitition between the modders. Nothing more nothing less, I wasn't expecting all this commotion.

[QUOTE=SgtR007;33966129]Hey look, a model.

A very early WIP, I'm calling it "The Heartbreaker". Hopefully getting it in for a V-day event. Obviously this is just a quick AO/base textures with default Saxxy .vmt settings. I have a ton of work to do on all of the texturing, and the rigging isn't perfected yet, either.

I feel I'm missing something with the model itself, specifically with the FPV. Suggestions? I think it will likely need a normal map like the Ambassador.[/QUOTE]

Guess it's really just looking kind of plain, add some interest into it and maybe a normal map; maybe it's the contrast between bow and world making it look a bit strange.

[QUOTE=kenshin6;33962148]I am having a bit of a problem. I decided to fix an issue on my sentry jumper model and ONLY changed the bits about the texture in the vmt/vtf, and in blender. For some reason, however, it looks like the wrangler when I use the itemtest map in tf2. It is fine in first person, but looking at it in 3rd person gives the wrangler model. It also works fine in hlmv. Any idea what could be causing this?

Is anyone interested in fixing some smoothing errors on the blade and giving it a good texture?

People of the Emporium.

How many mods have you seen since the Workshop went online, that were made and released for the community? I'm not complaining about that, like General Cornwaffle, but do you even realize that this has been a competition for quite a while now? Do you think Ronin makes this stuff for fun? Do you think Sparkwire does not release his stuff because he is an ass? This is a Competition. The Judge is the Valve TF2 team and the sponsors are the people that buy the items. Any modding competition would just be a dicksize comparison, that can be replaced with looking at the number of green-named, sparkly items each one got in his pocket. You all just want to do something, fill the gap of unreleased mods with events, some of you want to be important and some just can't stand the lack of releases.

[Frying Dutchman]

So people cant host a friendly competition anymore because the workshop is online?
That the whole shitstorm erupted was because people seem to forget that you have to plan things first instead of spewing it about as a hyperactive kid.

Everyone liked Polycount, what the guys now have in mind is something faster paced and way smaller.
And this is frowned upon?

[Justnobody]

....you know, if this thing does go as planned,there will be dicks.
In all honesty, I think that the fact that we're arguing over this is a bit silly. If you want to do it, go ahead. If you don't, respectfully say no and then carry on. We don't need drama over silly things (Like cookies,credit,3d glasses,friendly compitions)
And about the community updates being too numerous? We have the big ones like the fancy vs. nasty, Halloween, and medieval, but then we also have smaller, less fancy ones like the cave story, Christmas, and island. If it means more releases, we should be happy for it because that's what we've been missing ever since the workshop.

[Roninsmastermix]

While we watch from the sidelines on how this unfolds, WE still need a good western themed item for the medic. Any suggestions? Again, cosmetics only (for now) and the usual credit will be acknowledged.

[blaholtzen]

I just don't get the point of tiny competitions, especially without a theme, and if short, the theme should be very specific.

And it's not a competition without a prize, I've just been skimming through the last pages though so that might already have been discussed.

I prefer the themed community updates, there's no real competition there more of a "let's all pitch in and make something worth noticing"
Populus already when through that though...

also if any of you feel like it, go to the TIP thread and criticize my logos/choice of logos :D

Theres only one western "Doc"

and yeah, its doc Emmett Brown :)

so how bout coat, shirt, some tonics (as suggested by ned)?

(brown coat, longer than medics normal coat, white shirt under it, some tonics on his belt and maybe scarf - like villains veil is - but just on his neck, not mouth)

A neckerchief is the only thing i can think of, that would be remotely fitting.

Then again the only knowledge I have of cowboys comes from a couple of bad movies, and fallout new vegas.
