• TF2 Emporium II

I love this thread, but I miss Daimao's hat emporium, with all those daily hats and such, they kept flowing like a river. I haven't been keeping up that well, but where is Daimao, and will it ever be opened up again?
I would gladly share my skins, except for the fact that my hard drive died awhile back and I lost all of them. Plus, I can't afford photoshop, and my computer was recently upgraded to from Vista 32 to Vista 64. And Paint.net's VTF plugin only works on 32. Anyone know any other ways to make and edit VTFs?

[QUOTE=NeoDement;18530529]There's only so many types of unique, interesting hats in the world.[/QUOTE] Hats are a fossil fuel for fun, Campin' Carl made a movie about how the world would end up if we keep using it at this pace and everyone saw it but no-one really cared.
I did? Or was it Campin[B]'[/B] Carl?
....aren't you Campin' Carl, Campin Carl?
There is two and I know them both. I confused our box king for the other.
Could anybody do a G-man skin for the spy?

Improved the Sandman ball: [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/900111/playball.png[/img] Someone gave me the idea by accident, but his ball replacement's 1337er, if he finishes it.

[QUOTE=whazat!!!;18304799]Request: Thomas Bangalter (left) and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo (right) helmets for Spy. I don't care what hats it replaces, just as long as both of them can be used at the same time.

[QUOTE=BlitzkriegOmega;18533791]....aren't you Campin' Carl, Campin Carl?[/QUOTE] No, I'm Campin Carl, there's a user vey active in the screenshot section who is named Campin' Carl. I think it's weird that there hasn't been any large confusions about it yet.

Only one of my reskins managed to survive the hard drive failure. It turns Jarate into Blood. Here's the link: [url]http://download345.mediafire.com/fp4vqz5dqpzg/tjcm2jtnjdb/Blood-In-Jar.zip[/url]
So you changed the hue from yellow to red? You weren't kidding when you told us about your skinning capabilities.

I can't name anyone who produces a perfect, groundbreaking skin or model the first time they ever make one. I have, with the help of ten different skinning tutorials, improved greatly. This is, unfortunately, the only skin I made that survived my hard drive failure. Try paying attention next time. Nobody has a perfect first skin that I can name. And I don't reckon that my skin is so horrible, considering that I made it in MS paint. I just found the Jarate textures in a jpg. format on the internet, messed around in paint, and got one of my friends to convert the textures into vtf.

I blame L4D2 for my idea. ctf_gnome, pl_gnome. Intel is gnome, Cart carries gnome. Om nom nom, nom-gnome?

The whole 'Thanks to technical crap, I can't do any skinning right now.' thing. And even if I DID have a way to do skins, people here certainly aren't offering good incentive to make any. Why would I do anything for people who just criticize. Hell, I haven't even gotten any USEFUL tips for improvement.

Get paint.net (which I guess you already have) then get vtfedit and use that to convert between tga/vtf, OR use vtex for conversion. Useful tips for improvement? Be more creative, blood in a jar is not very original and can be slapped up in seconds. Ideas? You see those very nice looking signs around, you know, those ones which tell you where the fuck the intel room is and that. Reskin them into a personalised style or make them a bit more artistic, and yes I know it's already been done but who gives a shit.
why so angry
[QUOTE=NeoDement;18545376]why so angry[/QUOTE] Not angry, more like disappointed. He said that he's originally a decent skinner, provides an example which anyone with a bit of skinning knowledge can make in 3 minutes, (yes I know you said your hard drive died but let me get onto the next point). He then goes and says he can't skin from there because a single plugin wont work, which gives me a huge feeling he never bothered to look at the alternatives for conversion which is just a simple google away. Overall it leads me to think that he couldn't be arsed to provided a better example of what he can do. I maybe hugely wrong but this is what it is making me see at the moment.

I just tend to get annoyed at constant criticism and being told I suck. Maybe it stems from having an older brother who always has a negative attitude towards everything I do. And I recently found out that my younger brother (I have two brothers.) has finally done something useful. Back before my hard drive failed, he backed up a couple of my skins on his computer. Some of my ones that don't suck. Because I admit the Jarate was lazy. But my internet firewalls have been spazzing lately, so I couldn't get anything else. It took me three hours to convince the firewall to let me visit facepunch. And another half-hour to post.
