[QUOTE=Rythyrix;25565752]A question before I head off for the night. If I replaced a weapon model, let's say the Scattergun, and gave it a different texture (such as v_scattergun to v_somethinggun) would the original texture (v_scattergun) still be loaded by the game engine?[/QUOTE]
Shouldn't be, unless some other model uses it.

[QUOTE=treythepunkid;25565857]Ok so if this looks fine to everyone i will start to get it all done for the rest of the classes.

I was able to keep it at a 128x128 texture and only about 400 polygons.
I'm on happy chap![/QUOTE]
Fuck yes. Might I suggest an improvement though? Give the edge a slightly different grey to suggest a cutting edge, like on:

[QUOTE=solid_jake;25565702]Any two handed spy revolver mods out there?
I know you're thinking "Eww third arm" but it would look nice :v:[/QUOTE]

Here you go. It's a usp mod. The lights on it are messed up, so it turns purple like the bushwhacker, and white sometimes as well.

Ahh genuis thinking Knuckle!
I took it one step further and added some scratch marks on the gray bit as well!
Of course when shrunk down to 128x128 you probably wont see it, but i just couldnt resist adding that extra bit of detail.
Is this more like it (Keep in mind this is the high quality texture)?

How does it look on 128x128 and 256x256? 256x256 is the "regular" hat texture size, so you can easily afford that if it looks better.
Also, the metal "knobs" on the handle are a slightly lighter grey than the blade, not sure if that matters.

Yes i know about the knobs, i wanted them a diffrent color than the main blade. Do you think they would look better as the color of the main blade?
Also here is a reference of what the texture looks like.

Looks pretty darn good.
Hey, maybe you could do it as a parasite replacement, that way every class will have it sit on their head in a different way. Not sure if it'll work that brilliantly (there might be some issues with the blood not fitting to the head correctly), but still worth a try because the effect would be cool imho (soldier with cleaver in his face :D).
Poor engie
The one day he wears his safe n sound too :frown:

Hah thanks man. My first idea was to make it replace the halo and do what you are saying about the alien swarm hat. I quickly dismissed it for i knew the blood fitting the head would be a problem. Honestly i am going to replace it with my gibus for each class for i know everyones gibus is going to start going out around this season!
I will release different versions of it to replace different hats, but the initial release will just replace the gibus i think.
I should be able to push it out tomarrow at the lastest!
Your avatar scares me Trey.

Anyway, I'm going to start getting back together the Community Improvement Pack this weekend. I know there have been some viable fixes released since the Mann-Conomy update and I didn't take the time to put any on the list. If anybody has any recent fixes they think should be in the pack, post 'em.

Wow i just realized i still have the engineerized version from when everyone was gettting pumped up about the engi update!
Ok guys, one last screenshot and then i'm off to work on the other classes.

Those kill icons for sure. There also needs to be a second tips installment soon, or atleast after the secret polycount pack is released.

Unless that texture is used by a different model, no.
Sweeeeeeeet. I'll be eventually replacing all the unlockable hats with their default counterparts, except for the set hats, since they affect gameplay.

Unlockable hats? Do you mean hats like the Alien Swarm Parasite and the Gibus?
i don't know about you guy's but i want one of the scattergun skins to replace the shortstop,
i HATE mistaking that thing for a pistol all the time...
[QUOTE=Daimao;25566385]Unlockable hats? Do you mean hats like the Alien Swarm Parasite and the Gibus?[/QUOTE]
Correction, non-default hats. Should at least give me a boost to FPS. The only reason I am not modifying items_game.txt is because that shit is going to be updated every time Valve releases an update, and I am not particularly keen on doing the same.
it wont give you a noticable boost
^ Well... crud. Thanks for torpedoing that particular idea.
I HAVE A QUESTION FOR DAIMAO ROYZO OR NEODEMENT.
Are Community weapons supposed to sparkle in first person?
No they updated it, third person only now. I don't like it as much, I keep getting my Rocket Jumper confused with my Community Rocket Launcher.
[QUOTE=Dr.Scrake;25566496]I HAVE A QUESTION FOR DAIMAO ROYZO OR NEODEMENT.

They used to, but since they localized the particle effects to the world model itself rather than the player (for the Unusual hats), it doesn't do it anymore. :smith:

Oh well, thank you for the reply.
Thank you too shugo.

Dement's kill icons are already listed as a pack entry, so have no fear. I'm on top of the tips, too. :buddy:

I sure hope Athernar is working on that picker. Gotta choose some new defaults too when I can be bothered.
wait, if dement's killicons gets in, will he be given self-made killicons?
