[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36375321]Valve accepts animations for Dota.
TF2 is not build to easily accept "plug and play" animations like Dota, but I don't think them adding custom animations would be impossible.
I think the double pistols is suppose to be a new weapon, isn't it? So the creator would be paid via sales of that weapon, but at the same time it using a Valve model means the revenue would be awkward. I think if revenue is awkward for them, they'll just ignore it, especially since it requires quite a bit more work on their end to implement.[/QUOTE]
Well, even if the developer of this model made a new weapon, the developer would also have to supply new animations to go with it since sniper has no dual wielding pistol animations. Therefore, people would be purchasing the right to make use of the model and corresponding animations. If the animations don't work right with the new model, it still falls back to the whole goofed up animations thing.
Agreed, TF2 isn't quite so easy with plug and play, but it is possible. I can't imagine too many accommodations would be needed to actually implement---at the very least--testing of user animations.
Tried removing all the armature modifiers?
*has no clue*
If the animations don't work for a new model, don't use those animations for the new model. Like picking between melee_all_class and stock melee animations. If the animation doesn't work right, you don't go complaining to Valve, you edit your item to fit in the constrains of the things that work in-game.
A person submitting an animation will just have to deal with people possibly using his animations without credit in the future.

Trumpet player can make some nice textures.

Also, that is true as far as animations go. And I'm not saying somebody should whien to Valve if their weapon doesn't conform to animations. But sometimes, some weapon ideas simply can't be used with existing animations. Dual wielding pistols just above is an example. How do you conform dual wielding to ANY of the snipers animations? Quite simply you don't. But, if the modder is willing to go out of his way to make animations from existing VALVE PROVIDED (therefore Valve-accessible and approved models)--then Valve shouldn't be so quick to turn them down.
That depends on the animation. For weapon hold animations, that is true. People would have to accept their animations may be associated with new weaponry in the future. However, for an animation such as the..say...The replay taunt...how is that going to be re-used by the modders? That's an action based animation that will be associated with that item and that's it.

Jetamo, how would I actually going about doing that?

Eh? I'm pretty sure sparkwire can do third person anims fine, and that it's reletively simple to do. That is, if a taunt is categorized as a third person anim

that knife animation looks really weird

How? Maybe if you tell me what exactly is weird about it, I can fix it.

Do [b]not[/b] change the anims, I still love them to this day.
Who said I was going to submit the dual pistols? I'm just making it for fun, like my other skins.
Oh and Sparkwire kicks my arse in animating derp.

We were talking hypothetically. And you can't get better without practice.

With how it's going, I'm actually a bit happy I can't sleep[/QUOTE]
I would love to see this as an all class misc that floats around and moves a bit like the RoBro 3000
Also, if you're gong to make the texture TF2-ish, could you keep the Sonic-ish texture as an alternate ersion
[QUOTE=light dasher;36374139]When I saw this I thought it was going to be a bomb/grenade replacement for the Pyro, Demo and Soldier.
Also maybe someone could do a ring replacement for the health kit, I mean, that spins too right?[/QUOTE]
I actually had the ring idea for a while. It would even be super simple to do, i just figured it was a dumb idea. I might do it, though.
And by Christ i am having a hard time with compiling over monoculus. It just refuses to work. Would anyone be so kind as to lend a hand? I seriously might rehex Eggman over the Robro from frustration
I was hoping that the singed singer would also replace the power jack so I can have my +10% speed.

HNNNG. But in all seriousness, I love the Soot Suit (Especially since it has the name I gave ya! :P) Could you make it also replace the Pyro's Ornament Armament since it's paintable on the Workshop?

We can clearly see why the soot suit is not in, too many up ratings.

I still don't get why the chest has styles that clip with other things and don't make sense :l
[QUOTE=Rexic;36376720]Are you dissin the chest?[/QUOTE]
It is pretty crappy. Most people have already agreed upon this.
Unfitting paint. Brushstroked to Hell. And none of the placements really look that good.

don't forget Dick in the Chest ahahahaha.
I don't mind it on his back (I just assume it's magically glued to his grenade belt straps), but the side and front styles will only serve to clip like crazy with every future item added to Demoman's lower body (as it already clips with the lamp).
I think it should have been either/or. Either Demoman's hips, or Demoman's back. The limits of the equip region and style systems mean this clipping is unavoidable without making the item have harsh equipping restrictions. And harsher equipping restriction means less people using the item.
It's a fine model/texture but it shouldn't be a cosmetic item.
