On SUF I already threw it out there I wouldn't mind marking those files for Valve's disposal, in some thread someone mentioned they were going to ask Robin about it.
I'd be willing to do it as well, if they ever went around and picked people.
It's insulting to see people stealing Sexy Robot's, Sparks, SVDLs, and other people's renders and posting them on the Workshop.
I can't even count how many times people have uploading a picture of Cbast's watches.
Contributions with like 20 reports should be removed from the list.
[QUOTE=NapyDaWise;34243479]Contributions with like 20 reports should be removed from the list.[/QUOTE]
No, that would cause serious amount of abuse
The best way to solve it would be to have active moderation by actual people, like a forum does, by trusted members from the community.
I noted on suf that I knew a lot of contributors and I have a good knowledge of who made what and coil identify stolen content easy. I think 4 or 5 people could work out well and keep the workshop clean
Suggesting any contributors in general? :v:

If you're listed as a contributor, I don't see why not.
May be weird to bring this up, but Valve just linked [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=PjEzzwf8kTs"]this[/URL] community made Meet The Pyro on their facebook page.
It may just be because they wanted to show the work to other people, but it could also make some speculation that they are in the process of making it, i know that valve 15 hours earlier said they wanted people to link them some clips.
um...

probably not, wait till a brand new game from sega.
Here's my project for this week/next week/when I have spare time
[url]http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2485939[/url]
[quote]So there's a lot of things you can do with the item schema (both client and regular)
And this had me thinking... why not just go and make this large pile of changes for Valve, submit it and see where it goes.
But I don't really work well without a plan... so here's the plan.
I am going to do a large scale "fix" to the schema, adding new things, changing certain things and basically doing a pile of stuff that is possible with the power of the schema. At first I was going to keep this a secret and just quietly work away at it until it was ready, and then unveil it.
But I don't think I will do that. Instead I want to get my plan out into the open before I do the major work, get some feedback and show my project plan. I also want to throw it out there to make sure some of this is actually possible via schema (I think it all is, but just making sure)
Estimated time of completion: Probably a month, maybe less depending on any surprise course work coming up. I'm budgeting around 4 hours tomorrow to work on it, and probably about 4 hours a week or so after that.
Things I can't do
- Add new sounds to the game that are not currently in the game or hooked up in the weapon sounds script
- Add new styles because of localisation concerns.
- Change the models of anything, unless the model already exists and it set up for the class properly
- Fix backpack image problems or update backpack icons
- Add taunts, taunt kills, voice lines, animations, a bunch of other stuff
Things I won't do
- Make stuff craftable/useable in crafting
- Make stuff tradable/untradable
Basically, if the project was done right now, this would be the changelog
Made the following items paintable
- Stahlhelm
- Pilotka
- Nanobalaclava
- Dashin' Hashshashin
- Planeswalker Goggles
- Novelty Mutton Chops and Pipe
- Cremator's Conscience
- Apparition's Aspect
- Cold War Luchador
- Stocking Stuffer
//all of these items have their VTFs set up for paint, the only thing stopping them is the schema. I already actually have half of this done, I've gotten all the entries for the schema done, but I need to also edit the client version, which is a little different.
General Item Changes
- Brainiac Hairpiece is now a hat
//Given all the bugs with the item as a misc (not just clipping), it just has to be like this.
Equip Region Changes
- Whole Head region now blocks Beard region
- Heavy Pocket no longer blocks Medal
- Added Necklace region to B-ankh!
- Added Face region to Professor's Peculiarity‎
- Added Face region to Virtual Reality Headset
- Added Necklace region to Holiday Headcase
- Removed Hat region from Buzz Killer, added Whole Head region
- Remove Pyro's Shoulder equip region from Cremator's Conscience, and added Grenades group to it
- Removed Glasses equip region from Sight for Sore Eyes
- Removed Demoman Grenade equip region from A Whiff of the Old Brimstone, and added Grenades group to it
- Removed Glasses region from the Googly Gazer
- Removed Glasses region from Brain Bucket, added Face region
- Removed Glasses region from Infernal Impaler, added Face region
- Removed Glasses region from Head Warmer Head Warmer, added Face region
- Removed Glasses region from Spectre's Spectacles, added Lenses region
- Removed Face region from the Whiskered Gentleman
//Just some general clean up, removing redundant equip regions and loosening the restrictions on a few items that don't really clip. Face is a looser restriction than glasses, and allows for lenses to be worn, while Glasses does not.
Bodygroup changes
- Bonk Boy no longer disables Scout's default hat
- Sniper's Snipin' Glass no longer disables Sniper's default hat
- Brainiac Goggles no longer disables Engineer's default hat
- Brainiac Hairpiece properly hides Engineer's default hat
// That should fix some weird stuff that goes on with missing hats.
Sound changes
- Saxxy now uses the Kukri hit sounds for flesh
- Conscientious Objector now uses the Kukri sounds
- Boston Basher now uses Equalizer sounds
- Sun-on-a-Stick now uses Equalizer sounds
- Equalizer now uses Bonesaw draw sound
- Pain Train now uses Bonesaw draw sound and Kukri sounds for everything else
- Disciplinary Action removed draw sound effect
- Market Gardener now uses Shovel sounds
- Sharpened Volcano Fragment now uses Third Degree sounds
- Ullapool Caber now uses Shovel hit sounds
- Warrior's Spirit now use Eyelander's sounds
- Holiday Punch, removed draw sound
- Vita-Saw now uses Ubersaw sounds
- Amputator now uses Bonesaw sounds
- Solemn Vow now uses Wrench sounds
- Implemented Spy-cicle draw sound that was unused
- Implemented Black Box explosion sounds that were unused
- Implemented Original explosion sounds that were unused
- Your Eternal Reward now uses Spy-cicle draw sound, removed swinging and backstab sounds
- Wanga Prick now uses Spy-cicle draw sound, removed swinging and backstab sounds
- Conniver's Kunai now uses Spy-cicle draw sounds, now uses Sharp Dresser hit sounds
- Big Earner now uses Spy-cicle draw sounds
// Just re-arranging sounds so stuff sounds better, and the sounds fit, also implementing some sounds that are in the sound script, but not used. Kukri is used often because it has a generic "thwack" sound to it... it's actually a really versatile sound. Bonesaw draw is used because it's a generic "pulling a metal thing out" sound.
Any comments or suggestions before I start working on it? I pretty much have the paint stuff done, so I'll be moving onto the Equip Regions next.
My plan of action in submitting this
- I'll make one huge copy of both schemas and add my changes to it
- I'll run a diff between that change and the real schemas and give that to Valve
- I'll include the raw schema entries for everything I change
- I'll include this changelog, assuming I get everything done
- I'll submit to the workshop and then email Valve about it. [/quote]

This is exactly the kind of shit that makes me want to give you a hat. Lemme get a name and description tag and I'm back with a nice hat for a nice dude.

Seriously. [url]http://valvesoftware.com/jobs/[/url] You should be paid for what you do.
Even if they don't have an opening related to what you are doing you should still send someone an email.
Every company should have at least one person who knows the community well and communicates with them regularly to find out what needs to be done and can do something about it.
If I were the head of a company and someone presented something like this to me I would hire them on the spot.
Sounds implemented with some help from Gamemaster1379.
There's no way to test it in-game though... but it looks like it'll work. Valve will have to beta test it first though, which I don't mind.

except for one thing
The API schema reports to backpack viewers information about the items being paintable, etc. Do you think this is something I should go and change, or will Valve handle it? They may have an automated system for it (IE, it might be synched with the client schema), but I'm not sure.
Ballad for president.
just got to package it up, run a diff and save that, add it all to a zip and contribute it.
I also need an idea for a workshop image. I was thinking maybe showing a few items made paintable, the googly gazer with the VRH and maybe Scout's hat being worn with the Bonk Boy (no headset though).
But I'm not that good at image taking

Also the pencil pusher falls off when engie dies so you should fix that aswell.

I know it has super awesome combos and all, but it really should conflict with the headwarmer and hottie's hoodie. Not that bad of a clipping though. Otherwise, everything is highly appreciated.
it didn't conflict with either of those to start with though

Something like that ?

yep, sort of like that, except maybe with pictures of the new paintable hats, and maybe Scout with his default hat on (but no earpiece) while wearing the Bonk Boy
or whatever makes it look interesting and eye catching
