Why can't I wear the brimstone with the lamp?[/QUOTE]
well this would be fixed by my Schema, because I made the Brimstone the same region as the Ornaments

[QUOTE=Roninsmastermix;34510102]
With this in mind, should we be creating these wonderful weapon models for valve's eye and just worry about the shape for the players who use them? (its a real question and not a rhetorical )[/QUOTE]
I don't worry too much about the character silhouettes as far as the item isn't out of proportion.
I think the visual design is still important since if its going to be added ingame the first thing players are going to see is a promotional image of the weapon in the TF blog or somewhere else and they won't be able to try it yet, at first I guess people do pick weapons for the visuals but after a while the community starts to get a general idea of if the weapon stats are worth* using said item.
As far as making weapons its definetly a bigger "bet" as to is it going to get ingame? how Valve could use this item in terms of stats and how it would work probably weights more on the decision to pick it versus the visual design.
But hats and misc are of course all about visuals and story telling.

Take note that I clicked the misc slot with the armament equipped in it.

Are you going to make a pack with that grenade launcher? Might make it more likely to get in. :v:

Sounds like we have something awesome to look forward to, we may just have the first Demoman pack with a new Grenade & Sticky Launcher.
There is a theme, its hard NOT to make an explosion based set for the demoman :v: he's all about explosions, meet the demoman.
Also no more damn swords for the demoman, we're not making a freaking sword :v:

speaking of swords, Demoman needs a pirate sword (not for your pack kimik... unless you want to)

Fix lamp conflicting with brimstone.

[QUOTE=Inspecter;34511103]Fix lamp conflicting with brimstone.[/QUOTE]
I did, the lamp is Demoman Hip and all of Demoman's grenades are now just "Grenades" (the same region as the armaments).
But there's no reason they should conflict anyway. They're different regions, so it's a bug Valve will have to fix unless they accept my equip region changes (which they haven't mentioned at all)
Edit, found out what it was
Awhile back they optimized the equip regions by grouping them. They stuck both the Demoman Grenades and Demoman Hip in the same group, meaning they conflict (because they're treated as the same region pretty much)
This is fixed in my schema
[QUOTE=Urser;34505057][img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/clock.png[/img] You can tie multiple brushes to a single func_detail, and when you need to alter anything simply press the [img]https://developer.valvesoftware.com/w/images/0/0a/Hammer_ignoreicon.jpg[/img] button to ignore their grouping. Once you're done altering them, make sure to unclick the [img]https://developer.valvesoftware.com/w/images/0/0a/Hammer_ignoreicon.jpg[/img] button, otherwise Hammer won't tie any brushes to entities until you do.

I still think there should be at least one more piece of ribbed plastic somewhere for the sake of balance. Other than that, it looks absolutely wonderful!

[QUOTE=Deity Link;34510139]Itemtest only allows for 2 textures and the Butterfly uses 3 (one with phong for the handle and golden parts, one with selfillum for the blade, and one with envmap reflection for the jewel).[/QUOTE]
Yes, however you should only need two. Put $selfillum_envmapmask_alpha 1 in the vmt and put the envmap in the selfillum's alpha

Inspired from the "Butterfly" blade from Dota 2 [img]http://www.dota2wiki.com/images/1/10/Butterfly.png[/img] someone suggested to make it as a Butterfly Knife for the Spy. I immediately liked the idea and 10 hours later, look at the result!

and this is the first of a Dota 2 serie.

Hey, I like that you guys are making new items and all, but could you make the promos be less huge? It sticks out too much and breaks up the flow, plus it just looks like you're trying to draw too much attention to yourself.
Nothing personal, I just think it's better if the size stays consistent. It's okay to have it be a [I]little[/I] bit big, but nearly twice the size of a normal promo is overdoing it.

You mean Dr.Who's sonic screwdriver? I'm sure someone here is as excited as me to think about making it, plus have the time to make it, which I haven't. Sorry :|
But if I say I don't have the time, it's for a good reason:

I'll tweak the AO a bit and add a smooth phong before releasing it. Oh yeah btw, it's the Iron Branch from Dota 2. It has a jigglebone, and it's my first time making two weapon models in one day!

Do something
Keep working
Don't procrastinate
Make friends and help each other out.
Don't get stuck in the 'gap'.

For the sake of maintaining consistency in the OP we'll wait with it until next month.
