TF2 Emporium XXVI - Games - Facepunch Forum

Hey guys, seeing as i am updating the headsplitter i thought why not include a couple of default descriptions that Valve can use if they want! So if you think you got a good one post it! I will get the ball rolling. The Horrific Headsplitter "When wearing such a piece of head gear it is best to keep an open mind."

I will take those out, know that i look at it i'm surprised it didn't see that before. Thanks for the heads up man! [editline]25th November 2010[/editline] Which area should be paintable?

[QUOTE=Galago;26286238]Dumb for none.[/QUOTE] :/ I am not asking whether it SHOULD or SHOULD NOT be paintable, I am asking if it HAD to be what one of the two would you want.

I love the scout !! whoops, forgot to log out

Despite what you are asking for, I don't think the paint effect is noticeable enough on the handle and it doesn't make sense on the metal. So, don't make it paintable.

[QUOTE=Pilk;26286468]Despite what you are asking for, I don't think the paint effect is noticeable enough on the handle and it doesn't make sense on the metal. So, don't make it paintable.[/QUOTE] I know it looks silly. The whole reason i am making a version that is paintable is because when i asked Robin he said i should. I wont be painting my one any time soon but i think some people will like to make there headsplitters more unique. Basically i'm not really asking what area looks better painted, i'm asking what area looks less awful painted.

While the handle would make more sense for most of the colors, I'd be happy to walk around with a rusty orange blade in my head.

Screw you guys, the blood should be paintable.

I worked with a Valve employee yesterday to get all the little glitches 'n bugs out of the paint fix. He tested it in the internal version of Steam/TF2 and said everything looks great. I'm keeping my fingers crossed! :toot:

[QUOTE=pedroion;26287576]Holy fuck. I'm taking my chances here but I think that's the best-looking hat I've seen. All the paints are great, the model is fantastic and even fits. [editline]25th November 2010[/editline] I'll get pretty sad if Valve doesn't accept it.[/QUOTE] They won't accept it. It looks too good. (I mean because MOST Sniper hats suck)

I need help with the alpha for the paint. A lot of it, Basically, I can't get the alpha map to look correct because something keeps messing up. [img_thumb]http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/7145/iamstupidherpdedurp.png[/img_thumb] Every time I try to make the alpha, the outline appears on it. I'm not really sure how to fix it. Knuckle tried to help in his infinite awesomeness, but I'm too stupid to understand what he did. So, can anyone help me, and explain what they did every step of the way so I can understand how t do it?

Model too?

[QUOTE=Communist Cake;26287709]Model too?[/QUOTE] Yeah. [editline]25th November 2010[/editline] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2372797/Paint/Comparison%20Hoodoo.png[/img] Left is the artifacting one Cake made, right is the one I made.

Comparison to original w/o paint support is needed.

Headsplitter should be a melee weapon AND a hat (that can be equipped separately, but if you find/buy one you find/buy both). When you kill someone with the headsplitter, the corpse should have the hat attached (The killed person doesn't actually GET the hat, it just shows on their corpse)

Cake's looks better

[QUOTE=HyperTails;26287924]Cake's looks better[/QUOTE] I'm sorry but what? Can't you see the white outline?

It's magiccccccccc!

How does it look with white/gold/black paints (and any others but those are the three I test first because they usually are the first ones to look crap if you do it wrong)? Also I would still like to see a comparison between unpaintable original and default-painted new version.

That looks superb.
