[QUOTE=Chaofanatic;37536306]I want to avoid effects being able to get confused with other important effects. It's the whole reason I havn't made an electric unusual.
[/QUOTE]
Oh yes, because the sandman uses the stars as part of the stun. Oops.
[QUOTE=BANG!;37535193]Hell that's pretty similar to what I have been working on a few days.

Downloads the schema and icons, once (checks for updates on start) or clic Download schema.
Select a QC and then the models you want to replace, recompile and pack models for release.
So its like hatzilla but with all the items, always up to date with new items, since it downloads the schema, and doesn't crash.[/QUOTE]
Wait, if I'm understanding this right, couldn't a dumb non-modder like me get, say, a Soldier Rocket Launcher for the Black Box and make it work with other weapons?
[QUOTE=ArakanI;37536283]Ahh, okay. Thanks.
But i use Mudbox most of the time when i texture, i think its easier to get the layout off the colors right. And you get good looking brush strokes just by using a square brush with low strength.
How do you go about making paint able textures, I have seen the option when you have a alpha channel on your textures. Do you just make a gray scale channel of where the paint should be able to go?[/QUOTE]
Paint is done by alpha channel, in short white = paintable, black = not.

[QUOTE=Chaofanatic;37536134]I've been working on some unusuals in my free time...
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/5CGwb.jpg[/IMG]
I've got that classic mountaintop ring of clouds, icy misty stuff, and a tornado. I like them, but I think they're a little bit too vague and stuff. Any ideas for unusuals you'd like to see?[/QUOTE]
Better Confetti?
Or, a more [url=http://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/images/e/e0/Killicon_original.png]original[/url] idea, why not a Lambda-Symbol to replace the Peace Sign, or a Facepunch logo or some shit.
I'm an unoriginal bastard :v:

Those look significantly better than most of the unusual effects in the game. Good job, sort of!
I'll definitely think about other ones, but considering that Massed Flies is my favorite existing effect (on account of it making sense, being theme-able and not looking very obnoxious) I'm probably not very good at coming up with potential high-tier effects.
[QUOTE=ArakanI;37536158]Wish i had a tablet so i could use that brush. Would make life so much easier...
[/QUOTE]
Hm? That's practically the only brush I use, and I don't own a tablet.
I would definitely get much better results with it if I used a tablet, but it's still the most useful brush I know.
I forgot to post this last night, it's surprisingly harder for find a picture of Sniper's back that isn't porn. v:v:v

Maybe one of these unusual effects that I doodled up last year?

I did a quick concept myself, something a little simple.

Alternative, it could be Heavy-specific and turned into a Crime and Punishment reference.

Yes, though not for stock weapons, which use the old model system (view and world), as now we make weapons with one c_model only.
You might need to have the SDK installed, though on that note, I could find a way to rename models without having to recompile, the thing is when you rename a model, even internally in its file, you also need to recalculate the checksum (that's just a signature to make sure the file is not corrupted),I didn't look into how to calculate the checksum for the model files, there's no need to recompile.
With that solution in mind, I could make the app be used to download skins and install them in a few clics automatically, basically becoming a skin hub, don't know what tf2mods.net, gamebanana or Valve would think of that, that might be making it too easy to install skins, let me know what you think.
Edit: what a crappy page king.

It's never [I]too [/I]easy, but if it were to, say, entirely replace those skin hubs people would be mad.
And that's great! When it's done, I look forward to being able to convert mods to skins they're not set on~
I am not worried about make those skins websites mad, I don't want to , I would probably partner with tf2mods.net as I don't really have much interest in managing a skin hub, I am just worried making it too easy to install skins would attract more players to mod their games and that may have an impact on players trading or purchasing cosmetic items.
Maybe I am just over thinking it and it would not be that bad, I am guessing tf2 users installing skins is just a minority, that's why I prefer to get some input from the community about hat.
Two more done, still 6 classes left...

I could use some suggestions what items this should replace when I submit it to the NotLU.
And there is one issue: right now it clips with the canteen on the demoman which also clips with the Aladdin's Private Reserve. Now should I move it to the other side and then get screwed when Valve changes the canteen position or should I leave it on the left side and ignore the clipping?

I accidently pressed disagree. Oh well. I agree with you, your reasons make sense imo. Also, most server got sv_pure on, resulting the skins become inactive, which is pretty irritating..

Having it as a skin hub/download center is a bit too much good imo.
It should be a versatile tool for modders which pretty much combines everything in one powerful utility.
A simple readme with comprehensible installation info is easier than downloading an extra program which you'll use about once or twice.
Remember those times when I said that I'm completely ignoring the Halloween theme? I was wrong. DEAD wrong!

No, an item does not get in if it's rated by one hundred people.
Valve decides. Only Valve.

No, it wouldn't hurt the economy or anything like that, the thought is nonsensical. Besides, I personally don't download hat mods 99% of the time, because while I can spruce up weapons, audio, and effects, hats are big part of how other players percieve you. Or I guess I should say I don't want to have to equip Proffesors Specks, Larrikan Robin, and License to Maim in order to look good to [I]myself[/I], but ugly to others.
