[QUOTE=Mnemosynaut;26573241]How about we just make this a regular event and do a new theme every month? As a preliminary competition, we could do a Winter Pack and have the deadline be two weeks from now, just before Christmas. I think that's plenty of time for everyone to pump out one or two items.
The goal would not be to get our items in the game, but expose people to the Emporium and get them interested in modding. It would also make these threads vastly more interesting.[/QUOTE]
Neo and i talked about this, every month is kinda too quick, maybe 1 spanning 2 months? 6 a year? It'll be good to get a lot of shit out before the idea dies off, but long enough to make a whole pack if somebody wants to.

A) Because the items won't be used for a very long time.
B) I won't be able to start for another 2 weeks!
C) I'd say every 2 months at least, and that's only assuming this test run is successful.
and
D) This is Facepunch, a small community of everybody. Unlike Polycount, a large community of dedicated modellers.

quarterly themes?
I think it would just be easier to split off the cosmetic items with a separate theme along side a the regular items theme, that way theme priorities could be split up a little more or even interchange if pulled off well enough (Though I'm sure if someone wanted to make a hat or misc fitting a certain weapon theme or vice versa they could.)
I think there are plenty of people here who could produce at least one new item per month. I mean, I made that paint brush yesterday in like 2 hours. Not to mention the number of people who would do more than one item. It doesn't have to be a huge amount of content either, just something simple like the Fancy vs Nasty Update would be interesting enough.
I also think that if it were a more regular event, the number of participators would snowball over time. I'm sure Valve would help out and post about us on the blog if it meant more contributions being made. People from other modeling communities would join Facepunch in the same way hundreds of people joined Polycount just for that one contest.
Well that's a nice thought, but I'd really to be involved for at least the first one, and I don't break up until the 17th. The poll at the beginning of the next page (which will unfortunately be a ratings poll) will determine the theme for the first contest. This time tomorrow I'll declare the poll closed then I'll write up some proper rules. Alright?

I don't really care, I just want to make some historic stuff
There was this cool menu backround of like Goldrush that has players actually fighting in it. (it was controlled by console commands)
Can some one post that? I can't find it.

You don't need my permission, go make whatever you want. Historic stuff is an option on the upcoming poll anyway.

It'd be pretty cool to have a completely different weapon that removes one of the most essential features of the player.

in that case he would just be a lighter heavy weapons guy

I think the chain is an unnecessary addition, is it supposed to be something?

How is the reload going to work? He will insert a magazine for every cartidge?
Are you kidding? The chain makes that gun.

winner, and yes, you are right
[QUOTE=bigbadbarron;26574206]I think the chain is an unnecessary addition, is it supposed to be something?[/QUOTE]
It's to make it more distinguishable from the regular shotgun, I believe.
Plus, it looks awesome.

Its not something practical to put on a gun. A chain that length probably weighs 5-10Kg which would really add to the weight .

I saw that. Does that animation take time the of a full reload or only one cartridge?
