[QUOTE=NeoDement;42579088]that's not the importer, that's mipmapping no offense but I suspect your texture looking bad is the result of a poor UV, there aren't really any hats in TF2 that need to be larger than a 512*512 (some hats have 2 textures and some older hats have bigger textures, but let's not go into that)[/QUOTE] I am aware of how mipmapping works. I tested and compared the filters, and the one it uses mucks it up since the alpha channel doesn't get the same form of compression. As for the fiery head, it was gonna be a scrolling texture, but after I found out that the importer doesn't support it, I built it around how the UV was: [img]http://img850.imageshack.us/img850/1525/dil7.png[/img] I'm going to redo the whole front face, since the format I had in mind doesn't seem to be supported by anyone
Looks kinda blurry/low-res..
[QUOTE=kariko;42579235]Looks kinda blurry/low-res..[/QUOTE] It's due to the brush I was using. I don't have a newer version of Photoshop, and don't plan on getting one by illegal means, so I'm coping with what I have

Does anyone want to take this project off my hands? I'm fucking drained. Plus Smashman is leaving for a week on wednesday. A rapidly-decreasing will to do any of this plus a rapidly-approaching deadline after working on twenty Halloween items of my own, all while trying to manage and maintain a social life over the past month has made this a very draining experience and I'm running on fumes.
how much still needs to be done
pretty much all the art assets for the website and getting all the mods uploaded to the right place and finishing the coding of various parts of the website and making it an actual website and the list goes on this is too much work for literally no payoff this is why notlu didn't happen this year
when's the deadline? I might be able to help with art assets
Honestly, I didn't think this was going to be an actual "Community Update" like Robotic Boogaloo and valve doing anything with it anyways. If that even is what you were going for... You mentioned yourself and Badger Pig would be hosting this. Any chance he could do something with the site? If not I think Nassimo is beautifully talented at photoshop and design and would make a beautiful site. Who knows if he is up to the task anyways. I could care less how the mods are displayed though. On a nice Notlu style site or a simple Emporium links as long as I get my mods I am sure everyone and myself will be pleased. I hope something does get worked out though. If not. Don't stress about it Void, I think we did a fine job of mass producing great items anyways. Your deadline made people rush and put out a bunch of high quality items at a astonishing rate. If anyone does happen to work on the site I can see if I could help with art, sfm and mods and such. [IMG]http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100921042230/sims/images/a/ab/Ghost.png[/IMG]
falling back to a simple 1-page site may be a way out of this and that could work

[QUOTE=Venezuelan;42580815]void never even implied it would be official...[/QUOTE] Oh, well that's what I thought all these NOTLU sites were going for, Community Halloween Update. But- Then again this isn't NOTLU...
Robotic Boogaloo was the first ever official community update before that a lot of us didn't even think of it as a possibility NOTLU was always just for fun
That was never really going to happen, Valve can't have 2 halloween updates officially at the same time, that would be really confusing and a little pointless
[QUOTE=Void Skull;42580809]falling back to a simple 1-page site may be a way out of this and that could work[/QUOTE] I wouldn't mind this honestly. I would like to have a non serious mod page. It's easy and would be a quick way to browse through the [B]tons[/B] of mods released this year. It would even allow items that didn't look so pretty to be put on there with no hard feelings. Just browse through the mods and click one you like and go. No map searching and no fun clickin' around just a quick easy halloween mod browse. I actually might prefer this. and would save you time.
It's not too late to post another of my lame Halloween concepts, is it? [t]http://i.imgur.com/A2hSfce.gif[/t]
-=NARH=-@ OK!! and DONE now!!!
I have a sick idea , a ghostly (:v:) medigun, flying arround (for the Heavy) (with the ray btw)

I don't want to have another screwup with this fiery head so I'm gonna hold a quick poll. [img]http://img28.imageshack.us/img28/8509/evz0.png[/img]
[QUOTE=coverop;42585271]The handle bothers me very much.[/QUOTE] Also the bones took me a while to recognize I thought they were sticks before

personally I think it could've gone through the canister, like it is on the Medic, but it works either way.

Hope this isn't getting too late... Life has been getting... Complicated... With my grandfather passing away and my father going to go into surgery soon...

It's non-paint-able unfortunately... The item is made to match the character's team color and that is all... It's not a simple case of changing the color of the cart and the shirt... The gloves and helmet and the overalls charge colors as well making the choice of one overall color not an option...
make a paint mask then
