Well that's two weapons. Old ones at that.

Mann co logo isn't overused.

[Mellowbloom]

I'd like to see what people could do without them, really. Like the stock weapons (barring the pyro's which are all homemade from the looks of them). Could be a nice theme for another modelling competition, actually; Mann Co Standard Issue or something.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;34863801]I once asked SPUF this, and they actually liked a balance between gimmicky items (like the Soda Popper, Axtinguisher, etc) and "normal" weapons (like the Flaregun, Shortstop, Huntsman, etc)

And I have to say I agree with them. I think we're tipping a little too much in the realm of gimmicky right now, but there's a lot of nice "normal" weapons (and even a few sets) on the Workshop, so I'm sure the balance will shift back.[/QUOTE]

Valve needs to start looking at the weapons in the workshop and give a little rest on the hats.

The Private thing hat (Sherloc Holmes hat)

So unfitting

Ullapool Caber :eng101:

Does the French Tickler "knife disguised as a feather duster", count in that balance? :v:

Oh [I]that's[/I] what you mean by gimmicky items.

No, I love gimmicky items. But I'm probably one of the only ones

is that insider info i see?

[QUOTE=Roninsmastermix;34863982]is that insider info i see?[/QUOTE]

Quiet you.

The reason i posted the above was after a conversation with valve about workshop items
it came to light that they'd have no issue with publishing solo items from the workshop in the weekly updates.
but they may be restricted to reskins

[QUOTE=psyke;34863992]-snip-[/QUOTE]

It begins... :tinfoil:

[Petachepas]

Trust me too. They are ;)

the reason i posted the above was after talking to valve about workshop solo items. they stated they're more than happy to put some solo workshop weapons into the game in the weekly update. but they may be restricted to [B]reskins.[/B]

[/QUOTE]

They better add some ones with unique stats or imma be mad.

[royaldanney]

[QUOTE=psyke;34863992]-snip-[/QUOTE]

No more reskins, please! What happened to times when they put in the Homewrecker, Pain Train and the Shiv. They all introduced unique attributes AND were solo weapons.

[Sharc]

I'd also hope they'd start accepting packs that do not have a cosmetic item to go with them, like Frump's pack or Cbast's Die another way pack.

[Detroit Matt]

I'm getting quite sick of tape on everything, every demo hat feeling the need to remind us that he has an eyepatch, etc.

[Corporal Yippie]

haven't been here in a while

things still going strong? is neo/mao/nz still shitting out dough?

[ned_ballad]

if they're reskins, tell them not to bother
Having undroppable, craft/buy only reskins...

that's just a straight waste of GCF space and good models.

[Ducksink]

trust me ;) valve didn't email me

[QUOTE=Detroit Matt;34864082]I'm getting quite sick of tape on everything[/QUOTE]

is it okay if your item has a bland first person view and it needs something interesting on it?

[Dankie]

Are Haunted costume items still useless? (Besides the purple text.)

[ned_ballad]

actually, on second thought I'll allow them to accept a Candy Cane reskin, but above that it's pushing it.

or SVDL's rayguns for cow mangler

basically anything that looks bad that can have a better version

[Jetamo]

Anyone here know good stuff about jigglebones? I need to make it so a certain bit dangles like it's, y'know, hanging down. Here's the current thing for it, but it goes all funky when the model moves too fast, and it shrinks.

is_flexible {
		yaw_stiffness 100
		yaw_damping 3
		length 20
		yaw_constraint 0 0

I'm ok with taped-on batteries and that type of stuff. I prefer weapons without them, but if you've made a weapon that looks too similar to an existing one, taping a battery to it is fine in my book.

However, I despise the type of items I think of as gimmicky: [URL="http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3972&searchtext="]'Wacky' novelty items[/URL] and [URL="http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2864"]blatantly unfitting theme park-ish stuff.[/URL]

Wow, approximately half a page appeared from the time I pressed 'reply' to the time I pressed 'submit post'. I'm a terrible multitasker.

Gimmicky, like eye patches on all Demo items?

P.S. Ignore VLEK. He's coming off like a SPUFer calling my Cosmopolitan a Frontier Justice reskin.

In my opinion, making theme park pirate stuff is terrible and a waste of modeling talent. Once you are making those items, though, I don't mind you putting eye patches, Mann. Co logos and batteries on them.

Uhhhh... thanks? :)

Honestly, with all the hate on the pirate stuff, and all I really wanted was a parrot voice for my Demo lines.
