Your textures would be better with proper .vmts[/QUOTE]
What do you mean?
[QUOTE=Da3dalus;35217773]What do you mean?[/QUOTE]
none of them have any phong or rim lighting
[QUOTE=Venezuelan;35217790]none of them have any phong or rim lighting[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I suppose I should've used phong... I guess I was scared of the whole "normal map" thing - obviously I used the alpha channel for paintability...
How does one make a normal map anyway?

You don't need a normal map. Well, I mean, I guess you do if you want a phong mask, but you can just set the bumpmap to models\effects\flat_normal, you don't [I]need [/I]a phong mask, especially since your stuff is fairly simple. Never skimp out on phong in TF2
make a phong mask for the two items that don't have paint though, no reason not to

Well, in terms of the Midlife Crisis, I'll probaby be deleting/remaking it. For the freshener, ok, will do.
But for the hat, wouldn't I have to make a normal map because the alpha channel already goes to paintability??? :o

you could if you want lots of detail but, again, you can always just set it to models\effects\flat_normal which has a pure white alpha and just control the phong through your vmt

The file he referred to is a normal map that's completely flat. You could use it as your normal map and have it pull from the alpha of that for the phong mask. It wouldn't look as good as creating your own most likely, but it would still work.

I just looked at your screenshots, nice MP items

[QUOTE=XanaToast.;35214701]all these grenade launcher mods are awesome.
shame only one can be used at a time[/QUOTE]
Two, remember the loch n load.
[QUOTE=NoNameForEvil;35218344]nobody makes mods for the loch n load
and hexing a grenade launcher model for the lnl wouldn't be very good, since the lnl only has two shots[/QUOTE]
Well, the default has six shots but only fires four. At the end of the day it is just a mod, I can't see too much of an issue.

Right, I thought it was that, but I forgot the keyboard shortcut. Thanks.
Is the Phlog Re-Skin Bug fixed yet?
I could never make a hat because I can't get a good fit around a models head. I'm restricted to weapons/miscs.
Help ?

just stretch it into place like everyone else
I contacted pierate. He's online,but does not answer.
I HATE THIS
[QUOTE=Venezuelan;35217599]Wait is all you changed adding the bones? :v[/QUOTE]
No. Most of the effects are brand new. But the bones require a custom material, therefore, most sv_pure 1 servers disable them.
The effects that aren't brand new have still been tweaked slightly to match the styling of the other new effects until I manage to come up with unique and distinct effects for the underwater and decap effects.

MUCH better.
For future reference (once I'm done with the actual mesh), how do I add jigglebones?
[QUOTE=Da3dalus;35217673]Any good texturers wanna collab with me? I'm workin on this hat:

but my textures will probably turn out shit.[/QUOTE]
I'll give a shot at it, but I can't guarantee it will be amazing... or that I will get it done.
I've also dabbled in .vmts.
aright, current progress...

Add me Deodorant.
I love that texture style, it reminds me of Laro or Svdl's handiwork. So finely crafted.
I like the kill icon. :downs:

What's sad about this is that people will claim you only attached a stock to a recolored Flaregun.

I hate to say it, but I kind of agree. The flare gun just feels... plain.
