[QUOTE=NeoDement;22555666]I've redone the battleaxe a bit. What do you think? [img_thumb]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/900111/Resubmission%20OR%20IS%20IT.jpg[/img_thumb] And are there any other (minor) changes you want made? I plan to submit it along with the taunt, when it's done (which should be tomorrow)[/QUOTE] Make a critical swing sound for it, because it currently doesn't have one. And for God's sake, tell them to make the Pain Train sound like a shovel/wrench/whatever already and remove its taunt on the Demoman. As much as they would like me to think, it is [b]NOT[/b] a bottle!

Request: Instead of earbuds make it, how should I say? Oldish? I think there would of been some kind of device back then, that went over your ears and music came out? Radio?

The sword doesn't have a crit swing sound either so I don't think that's up to me.

Yuh the whole earbuds thing really annoyed me because Valve keeps advising people to put items in game that match with the 50's yet items they put in don't, I guess it's more to help people so they don't go insane and make sci-fi items. Then again there weren't aluminum baseball bats in the 50's, the first aluminum baseball bat was made in the 1970's.

Make the headphones into a hat, and that is a record player [IMG]http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VGCmV9HFoc8/SECDUrw2_KI/AAAAAAAABEA/TvHA6rJuV1E/s400/old%2520record%2520player.gif[/IMG]

I know we're getting a few too many HUD-related posts now, but I'm working on fixing up the menu too: [img_thumb]http://thefwcentral.com/upload/content/images/tf2_customMenu9d720e2.jpg[/img_thumb] It's not a radical change and I still need to move a few things around, as well as make the text readable, but it's getting there. Centering the small buttons took way longer than it should have. [QUOTE=Vaught;22549113]I always hated Blender's "import with texture" option. Never seems to work for me :c[/QUOTE] It's annoying but it does work. You have to convert them to bmp, then put them in the same directory structure specified in the smd, using the smd's folder as the root "materials" folder. For all decompiled Valve models, this means you have to create a "models" subdirectory and whatever else to recreate the material path. For custom models you can usually just put the bmp in the same directory.

That's nice Metroid, real nice. Will download when you release it.

[QUOTE=NeoDement;22555824]The sword doesn't have a crit swing sound either so I don't think that's up to me.[/QUOTE] You'd be surprised what they sometimes decide to listen to. I told them in an email that the loading screen tips should have lowercase names for default weapons and uppercase names for unlockable weapons and that they should fix a grammar error in one of the original ages-old tips. Lo and behold, the very next day they did it in an update. The key with Valve is "the less work we have to do, the more likely we'll use it". If you made the sound file yourself and included it with your submission, they'll have little reason not to use it. And at least even if they end up not using it the option will have been there for them in the first place. They might not even realize that there's no crit swing sound with all the other shit they're currently working on.

Well that's interesting. Do you think if I tell them how "item_iconname" works they'll add my unlockable icons? :v:

[QUOTE=Quiet Maniac;22555028]I would really like to have those class icons that you were originally going to include, though. If you still have them, could you upload them?[/QUOTE][URL=http://kinsie.helloiaminter.net/imgs/games/emblemclassicons.7z]Knock yourself out.[/URL] Cloaking/decloaking as spy will look mighty ugly though. [QUOTE=ShiftySwifty;22555409]Any screenies of Frankenhud?[/QUOTE]Yeah, screenshots might help. Here's a GIF of the HUD itself. [IMG]http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/6061/frankenhud.gif[/IMG]

woah that ubercharge looks nasty

The sticky counter/metal counter need to be spaced up more, to match the ones spaced to the right. 5 pixels, I believe?

Will download later, any chance you could move the ammo and health up a bit though? I'd do it myself but I daren't edit huds anymore after I borked my copy of Flame's Hud.

Don't know why there's so many disagree's to NeoDement I think it looks bad too, the text doesn't fit with the style you're going with, it's far too large and the box seems weirdly positioned. Best advise is to move the Ubercharge box down so it's aligned with the health box and capture boxes. Also make the text inside the box much more smaller and perhaps choose a lighter color for the text. Also couple more things, move the demo's Head and scout's ball/drink box so it's in alignment with his ammo box (at the moment it's slightly higher and move the 'stickies placed' box so it lines up with the edge of the demo's head count box.

[QUOTE=NeoDement;22556190]woah that ubercharge looks nasty[/QUOTE]Yeah, I'm not completely happy with the text colour. Might go back to PVHud's black text, or even just redo the damn thing. [QUOTE=Galago;22556245]The sticky counter/metal counter need to be spaced up more, to match the ones spaced to the right. 5 pixels, I believe?[/QUOTE]A fair point, and one I hadn't really considered.[QUOTE=ShiftySwifty;22556270]Will download later, any chance you could move the ammo and health up a bit though? I'd do it myself but I daren't edit huds anymore after I borked my copy of Flame's Hud.[/QUOTE]Up? You mean, like, closer to the gametype HUDs? I can have a look, but I doubt it'd look much better, and it'd look pretty fubar on non-widescreen, lowres displays. (I really need to adjust horizonal position values to look better on non-widescreen displays, but I don't know how many people play TF2 on those...)

Kins I mean raise the Health & Ammo upwards as in closer to the crosshair. Always find it easier to look at stuff when they're near my crosshair.

don't listen to him

You could just rename the earbuds to be Ivory Earplugs. That's what I thought Valve would do when I was wondering if they'd actually put in earbuds.

[QUOTE=NeoDement;22556406]don't listen to him[/QUOTE] don't listen to him Raise them. Plz?

Anyhow people I've done as you've requested, hopefully this will be the final touches to what I'm calling the "Carpenters Crown" (I know crap name). I took the ratings and have made the frame darker, this version is the Orange w/o Connectors and includes the MannCo logo: [IMG]http://i45.tinypic.com/wcjzm8.jpg[/IMG]

Perhaps you could browse here: [url=http://www.tf2wiki.net/wiki/List_of_companies]List of companies[/url] and find another, less used company, but personally nothing is better.

Is there a way to play a video in the background instead of having the normal backgrounds in the menu? ( I don't want to replace the valve logo videos and shit, I just want to replace the backgrounds by a video or add a video when the menu is loaded and all. )

Mann Co. logo is blurry, think you could make it sharper and nicer? Brill work by the way. Thinking of animating the mesh?

Maybe make the mesh even darker

[QUOTE=LiLBliNg;22554415]Something got stuck in the barrel causing it to blow when fired? Reposted for the new page. [IMG_thumb]http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/8299/conceptsf.jpg[/IMG_thumb] My theme is Worn out, battle hardened, broken equipment. So 1 and 2 wont work with it as the aren't damaged at all. I'm thinking maybe 4 without blown barrel?[/QUOTE] Sorry for late reply, but here is what I think: Use the first one, but add details to make it battle hardened/worn out, for example: -scratches/dents -tape (slight protection/to hold the gun together) -missing pieces (screws/bolts that are missing and leave holes, -for example) -improvised fixes -welded/bolted metal plates to the gun to protect the broken parts -etc. :v: because the broken stock would just look painful to wear, and a bit weird. The broken barrel might work, but preferably broken in a different way other than "omg i shot so hard my barrel exploded lolz"

[QUOTE=ShiftySwifty;22556558]Mann Co. logo is blurry, think you could make it sharper and nicer?[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure it's blurry because it's in the Model Viewer, I bet the ingame version of it is sharp.
