[QUOTE=maty;38447442]Hmm quick question:

I haven't decompiled in a while, but I need the Force-A-Nature rig. It appears I need to exactly match the transforms of the existing bones for my shotgun to work (thankfully I modelled the important parts in identical positions).

Whats the process for doing this these days? Obviously, grab the files from the GCF, then what? Does Cannonfodder's decompiler still cut it?

If anyone actually wants to do the grafting for me, that would also be appreciated!

Muchos gracias![/QUOTE]

GCFscape for the model files (mdl, svd etc)
In Notepad++ open the .mdl and repace the 5th character so that it reads "IDST," instead of "IDST0" then save
In Cannonfodders uncheck all the boxes, then point to your .mdl and output directory and extract

You sir, I owe a beer! I shall do that tonight, thanks very much!

I figured out how I can hack the over-under shotgun layout to work with the FaN rig, so I'm eager to do that. My maya scene now has all my winter items, roughly scaled, zero'd, orientations sorted and basic rigs applied where needed (weapon_bone, bip_head) - good to go when I get home!

[QUOTE=maty;38437592]I was considering making a Rudolph-style balloonicorn (not so fat, possibly a glowy nose).

Can't get a working shape in my head - anyone interested in helping out on this one?[/QUOTE]

I know I'm late, but bear with me, I'm at work and had to wait for and use my lunch break to scribble something.

Something along the lines of these? I can color it once I'm at home/draw more. I would also have an idea for the texture, if needed.
My favorite is the third version btw.

instantmoney.jpg for sure

[maty]

Yes, that's exactly what I had in mind!

The first one is a bit too similar to the Balloonicorn, the second's shape is a bit too defined - definitely preferring the third.

I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on the texture, too. I have my own ideas, but I'm interested in other's opinions, too!

unedit:
On second thoughts, the bells on the collar might be better textured!

Well, it would be mostly about the design for the 'markings', since reindeer can be pictured very differently. I guess the texture should be clean and simple, since it would need hard lighting to look like it'S inflatable and I guess that's worked out with model settings? But hey, I'm still learning to texture so what do I know.

[QUOTE=Evil_Knevil;38447835]Can I make this?[/QUOTE]

if Maty's is okay with it, why not. I'd love to see this thing in-game so yeah. (Loved the idea and drawing a concept was really fun)

EDIT:
While I'm at it, can I request someone make a Balloonicorn Replacement for Guard Dog? (Old artwork of mine so bear with me)

Sure, well we can discuss ideas and I can play with the model. I'll start on it tonight.

Edit: Check your PMs :). I did have my heart set on this, but I'm not an ass-hat, I can share! Deep in crunch time at work, so happy to discuss things! Do feel free to go and make your own - I'll still be making mine! :D

The sketch was a request asked by me, here: [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?p=38437592#post38437592[/url]

I was struggling to sketch out how it was in my head, but I do have plans to model and texture it! :) Still, I wont stop you making your own (just know that I'll also be making one)

We could co-operate on it if you wanted - that's also an option! I'm happy to model, texture, implement, all of those, one of those! Shoot me a message if that's what you're interested in.[/QUOTE]

I'm going to try on my own if that's ok.

[maty]

That's fine :).

Wouldn't be surprised if you beat me to the mark anyway. Not much free time!

If you're designing new sentries and/or just sentry cosmetic reskins... I recommend modeling a wrench/gunslinger or PDA replacement to go with it. I think Valve can only allow you to change your buildables with the melee and possibly the PDA slot... so if your new sentry replacement doesn't have a matching one of these, they won't have an item that people can equip, and they can't take someone else's model since that would conflict with who should be payed for the items.

[editline]14th November 2012[/editline]

So just keep that in mind. If you make new buildables for Engineers, make new weapons that will enable the buildables..

[editline]14th November 2012[/editline]

You could replace the PDA with a "list of who's been naughty" and replace the toolbox with Christmas presents

Im pretty sure someone had/made this idea before, or at least i think someone did. Could find it.

Anyways, hi again

Aaaaaaand searching for someone that could help me getting a non weird shock there

[unlimi_Ted]

Could you make a style without the stocking?
you know, for wearing all year purposes.

[QUOTE=unlimi_Ted;38449012]Could you make a style without the stocking?

Sure. I would maybe try a set with more items around the "home heat" or whatever it is called. I already have this and also my old bedwarmer, and i think it could be a set that can fit the rest of the year without troubles

Still playing with the textures

Planning to do a dispenser/tp version too, and a PDA.

If melee can change the sentry, maybe the pda can add hats to it :v:

[Frying Dutchman]

Red ribbon for the bell should be a bit less shiny.

[ned_ballad]

they should just add a sentry decoration cosmetic slot for Engineer. A lot of good ideas for stuff to attach to sentries, and it would give Engineer a unique cosmetic slot other classes don't have (and don't really have anything that could get one).
