Major Update Speculation V5: Somewhere over the rainbow - Games

[QUOTE=hogofwar;36555554]The map... [editline]29th June 2012[/editline] I think people have assumed that the Life extender recipient, the mystery man and the mystery guy in the will are all the same person.[/QUOTE] Abraham Lincoln

I've emailed them about this Liquidator's Lid, hoping others might too. I don't know what they were thinking adding a nice set like that and then ruining the hat because they didn't want to add a body group at the last minute. How could they ship it without one?

Did anyone try to craft burnt bananas after the pyro update?

What happens if the scout runs fast with the new scattergun, takes a crit a cola and then gets whipped by the disciplinary action all at once lightspeed?

Just got a response, they didn't want the performance hit so they decided against it, also they don't want contributors to expect to be able to add body groups for their items. Though they added they might change their minds or solve the problem in some other way, we'll see. [/QUOTE] so dont spam valve it wont help at all it might make them say fuck it

[QUOTE=k2.;36556167]so dont spam valve it wont help at all it might make them say fuck it[/QUOTE] It's one thing spamming valve, and it's another hearing that people are unhappy about something. They're aren't going read a lot of complaints and say "fuck it, we're not fixing this now" what a ridiculous thing to think.

Since the Adult Swim thing implied there might be other Adult Swim promos coming down the pipeline, what other stuff would you guys want to see? I'm hoping for some Venture Bros Monarch miscs, or a decal-able version of Early's trucker hat.

How would it be a performance hit compared to other bodygroups?

So they have removed the bot heads from release SFM.

[QUOTE=hogofwar;36556300]How would it be a performance hit compared to other bodygroups?[/QUOTE] It wouldn't but they don't want to keep adding more... Even though there are plenty that could be removed and just given bone merges

We should made a trade with Valve. Give us Sniper glasses bodygroups, and you can take away Soldier's medal bodygroup and Sniper's arrow bodygroup and replace them with simple attachments. Can we then have our working glasses? Two for one.

In the meantime enjoy these sounds from SFM: [url]http://filesmelt.com/dl/Heavysounds.zip[/url]

I think Valve got confused. Instead of merging the Mantreads and the Gunboats, they split the Equalizer.

I want SFM So badly Think of all the goodies I could find in it

[QUOTE=SLBros.;36556672]Either this is not from TF2, or those are very, VERY old :v:[/QUOTE] They are in the same folder as MTH sounds.

this is bothering me to no end. The Bazooka has custom reload sounds that work. The Original has custom reload sounds that don't Both are set up the same. I replaced the quake reload sound code in game_sounds_weapons with the bazooka, didn't work Replaced the bazooka with quake reload and it worked. This might be backend specific to the beggar. It doesn't... seem like it should be, but...

[QUOTE=hogofwar;36556300]How would it be a performance hit compared to other bodygroups?[/QUOTE] Every time a 'Bodygroup' is added it splits part of the main model into a sub-mesh. This sub-mesh then requires a separate draw call to render taking more system resources. The glasses would be pretty bad because they use more than one material. In reality it's not much and anyone with a multi-core CPU won't really notice anything but it will cripple slower systems more. I did a chart showing the difference. I used the Pyro since he has a few Bodygroups and no morphs. I disabled Multi-core rendering, used max settings and spawned 23 Pyro's in the itemtest map. [img]http://i46.tinypic.com/o5cg0l.png[/img] The arrow on the chart points to the part that shows the time it takes to render the Pyro's. The difference is minuscule (half a ms) but it's not a great test and my computer copes with TF2 easily.

that is incredibly miniscule... wow We should try a c_model w/v_model test and see what renders faster.

eh, on second thought, my question was lazy to the point of obnoxiousness, even if it had made sense. all i gotta do is open up some text files boo hoo

Hmm. Sniper seems to be unable to use Pyrovision Goggles. Medic also. They can equip them, but Pyrovision doesn't turn on.

Would it be difficult for Valve to make the sniper glasses a bodygroup? It's just crazy they haven't done it yet unless it's really hard to do or something.

[QUOTE=sasurai;36557379]Would it be difficult for Valve to make the sniper glasses a bodygroup? It's just crazy they haven't done it yet unless it's really hard to do or something.[/QUOTE] I did it for a custom model, but I never released it as it only had one HD lod.

I really hope MvM isn't some commander-based game mode or something. The whole "waves" thing in the sound files makes me a bit optimistic, but it's all so vague. Damn the secrets held close to Valve's breast! :v:
