I am really glad that this project hasn't been abandoned, my cpu runs tf2 fine, but I love the look of the models and everything, I have always been a sucker for old school video game stuff.
Quote of me on CCCritical's profile, he asked, so i responded
...also, an update for anyone trying to follow the pack...
[quote]ii actually have been working on a release that will piss people off, in particular those of who that have been helping but have left the project do do other things (like myself) ,but every time i find the time something fucked up happens, like just this week, i have been attacked by a fuckton of viruses, im currently not on steam because of this, today i had to do some real life shit, but i got a monster out of it (ya know the energy drink) so im good, but i need to restart in safemode to Get Rid Of The DAMN FUCKING NotifiCAtions of a FAKE DESKTOP BullShit that i keep having... (not blowin up at ya, more pissed off at myself for not getting rid of it sooner... its bassically harmless, just annoying as fuck) the rest of the week has mostly been real life shit, and the release was SUPPOSED to be on monday....... anyway, i have been working on something to help ya and yours and everyone else's systems out. [/quote]
just a post before i take care of this virus and dissapear for a couple hours before working on this [sp] shit that'll piss people off [/sp] again
FUCK, i couldnt find the files.... at least i didnt get any notifications of the "known bad file" bullshit... [sp]yet...[/sp] at least i got rid of my FBI MoneyPack one i got last week... [sp]seriously... look that one up...[/sp]

For me, most of the weapons are just a flat red, or flat pink. Was that intended?

He chose to make some weapons that did not yet have models have other weapons low poly models but with a completely red texture. It's less stress on the PC then having those weapons keep their high poly models.

Oh that makes sense. But it's still a little annoying to get used to.

that pack uses models from my mod version that i got permission to use from the ORIGINAL AUTHOR
sorry, that still pisses me off that someone took MY HARD WORK and claimed it as their own

anyway, yes, its relavent, and NO ONE thought of a TF2 For TFC pack before ME!
alright, this pack was supposed to have flashing red textures, but i dont mess with vmt's too much, so i dont know how to make them animate...
but more or less, if you have been reading up on my previous posts, its supposed to be annoying VERY annoying to get some of the people that have been working on the pack to get back into it :p

I just downloaded your old pack and was disappointed when there was no v models for anything other than crowbar replacements.
Are there any screenshots of the new content in the newest version of the Oldschool pack?
I so can't wait for the next Valve release
"GoldSource Filmmaker"
Please do the degreaser or phlogistinator next!
I had to delete the Phlog replacement model, it was getting confusing.

yeah, thats the only thing i was confortable replacing, it was my first project at the time, (like straight up NOOB) i have learned alot since then, and can probably make a *perfect version, with complete view models and everything
*as perfect as one can get considering a lot of the weapons are shared
as for pictures, nope, none really, just bassically replaced most of the C_models with the vanilla/best match ones but with a red (supposed to be flashing) "error" texture stating that the model is not done, but gives the best performance increase to date... i think
Please rip the Rocket Launcher from Quake for the Original replacement.

completely understandable, which was the point :p (i really tried to make as many seperated as posssible, but with only a couple models to replace 3-5 different silouettes is VERY hard)

[QUOTE=-=NARH=-;37209802]Please rip the Rocket Launcher from Quake for the Original replacement.[/QUOTE]
um...WHY
i extracted the model and based the current one off of it, like LITTERALLY, i took the model and modeled over it its better, and doesnt waste texture space

I really really appreciate what you're doing here, not only do I love retro looking games my computer can't exactly handle tf2 without a major fps config and this pack.

thank you, but i SERIOUSLY need help, i got Kaymon95 tryin to pitch in, lemme see here (research time) the serious numbers are:
Hats: 235
Misc: 125
Weapons: Approx 160-180 (going off the entries in the weapons category which is 190 on the official wiki take away all the scrapped weapons and the taunts, it MIGHT be 175 or something like that)
but in total its well over 400 models to make and texture, and since i only have had any REAL contact with hecates gaspar and Kaymon, it would be split between the three of us, and me and hecates are Exclusively a modeler/texturer respectively
so yeah, if anyone can help, let me know, ill evaluate you, and if its good enough itll get added immidately, and ill add you to the dropbox, and hopefully get you started on a set

I would honestly love to help, but I just don't have the patience to use a modeling system. I nearly failed basic 3D modeling classes in school simply because of that..
Either way, I think it would be worth your thoughts to just go ahead and remove the hats entirely. It would cut down on a serious amount of work, and you can add the hats back in when they're done.
Doesn't that sound like a good idea?

right, thats why i did the weapons as so, if i wanted the hats done i would figure out a way to make a red box for all the hats and all the miscs, but since the main focus is weapons, i made it so... most of them were red (replacing that many weapons with red ones got to me, and all this virus BS aswell)

Right, I understand. But to cut down on work, and the clashing of the current High-poly TF2 hats, and the low-poly models, I think replacing the hats with defaults/hatless entirely would both up framerate, and work as a placeholder until the hats were done.
But, still, focusing on the weapons is nice to hear.
I have a link to a NoHat modification I used a while back, and still works, if you wish to use it as a placeholder.

Is there an updated list of what weapons are left to be done?

im currently working on a spreadsheet of what needs to be done, its a fuckton of stuff to list out and prepare in a readable, and visually appealing manor, but currently, the red weapon replacements are kind of a statement on what needs to be done
How are you going to handle MvM Tobors?
I know you really can't do anything now but, what is your "gameplan"?

well, i dont have one.... i dont know their directory, nor do i wanna fuck up the models, so my "official" plan is to finish my zombies, and make them wok with those but as soon as the announcement came out, all i could say was...
Fuck...

Chin up, lad. If people are willing to wait for Oldschool to be done, then by God they'll happily wait for MvM to update as well. (Or just avoid playing it until You finish updating that as well.)
Take your time, Insaneicide, the people who want/need this have waited this long, we can wait a little while longer.
