Major Update Speculation V5: Somewhere over the rainbow - Games

Interesting the Liquidator's Lid is set up for paint, but it's not turned on. The item doesn't even have team colors, it's just straight forgotten. And it's the only item from this update like that, which has to be some kind of record.

[QUOTE=hogofwar;36568192]Filters and some sort of metal mask for the visor.[/QUOTE] Regular, second filter on side, metal plate covering mask except for are around eyes, and both.

So uh looking back at meet the soldier. the pyro casting that fire then taunting may have just been [ in his mind ] growing flowers and lollipops :C

In addition to the whole "these glasses should be a misc D:<" petition. Sure, it might just be traffic, but it shows someone cares about an issue.

Actually if you're going to message them about it here's a handy list of other items this same problem applies to Chieftain's Challenge Lord Cockswain's Novelty Pithe Helmet Map Maker's Medalion Crest of the Bolgan Moonman Backpack Liquidator's Lid You would use the Valve contact form, and email the TF Team [url]http://www.valvesoftware.com/email.php[/url] Make sure to mention they just have to mark them as paintable in items_game.txt (or the schema), and that the textures are already set up. Drive the point home that you realize some of these items may have been made paintable to save room on teamcolors, but that the Lid and Cockswain's Pithe do not even have team colors. And that the Chieftain's Challenge does not set team colors this way.

Valve's contact form never works with the captcha for me, is there any reason to use it over direct email?

iirc they said it was too subtle (even if it was less subtle than the Pikolta, which they made paintable, because it actually tinted the helmet too) [editline]30th June 2012[/editline] there's a few more items that are paintable, but paint is just not feasible on them, like Heavy's new shirt and the Kringle Collection.

[QUOTE=k2.;36568980]why does everything need team colors again[/QUOTE] for items with team colors, it takes less memory to use paint, rather than 2 textures to make team colors. So Valve recommends making team colored items paintable to save memory. However, this item lacks team colors, meaning the paint texture is 100% suppose to be used for actual paint.

just noticed the parrot has no nostrils textured on poor thing can't actually breath

They also ruined the Cockatoo style D: [editline]30th June 2012[/editline] [img]http://i.imgur.com/4vxAM.png[/img] [editline]30th June 2012[/editline] I want a petition to add one more style "True Cockatoo" and let me have my true Cockatoo >:I

Why, why did they even touch it?

they hate birds apparently [editline]30th June 2012[/editline] they didn't even implement the third style that was submitted, they just painted the tummy of the first style gray and called it a new style. These were the three styles submitted [thumb]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/596972261348522363/EA40A85C3C6B951520CBFB6AB47F258616048E2B/600x337.resizedimage[/thumb] These are three styles we got [thumb]http://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/images/thumb/f/fb/Painted_Bird-Man_of_Aberdeen_UNPAINTED.png/80px-Painted_Bird-Man_of_Aberdeen_UNPAINTED.png[/thumb] [thumb]http://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/images/thumb/6/6f/Painted_Bird-Man_of_Aberdeen_UNPAINTED_Distinguished.png/80px-Painted_Bird-Man_of_Aberdeen_UNPAINTED_Distinguished.png[/thumb] [thumb]http://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/images/thumb/7/72/Painted_Bird-Man_of_Aberdeen_UNPAINTED_Imbued.png/80px-Painted_Bird-Man_of_Aberdeen_UNPAINTED_Imbued.png[/thumb]

I wonder if they forgot how to do one style with team colors and one without.

iirc there's that chin hair for demo in the workshop already.
