TF2 Emporium XXVIII - Games

[QUOTE=FatalTomato;27161675]I disagree. There typically is no "try". Most people won't even make an effort past "hey can someone link me to tools?" It is rare that someone would download all the tools and rage quit. I can almost guarantee the ones that rage quit haven't even started. Also, I won't point out any names here, but a lot of people here try to fit in by asking for modding tools even though they know their question has been answered countless times. They are trying to fit in without doing work and trying to appear interested. The people that are actually interested are the ones that go out and get the tools first before asking questions. [editline]8:20[/editline] This post wasn't entirely related to what you said, but it is similar enough that I thought I would get it off my chest.[/QUOTE] :ohdear:

I think I fixed the smoothing errors. most of them anyway: [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3657658/Facepunch/WAR/Colt5.jpg[/img] What can I add for details? It's supposed to have a theme of backyard electronics.

Batteries, lightbulbs, wires, raygun rings and such. Why don't you look up some 50's/60's space comics and look for inspiration for that?

[QUOTE=Eeshton;27140886]No sense, do you make. The sense, portrayed by me, logical, more of mine is. [img_thumb]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3657658/Facepunch/WAR/Colt4.jpg[/img_thumb] Colt Peacemaker[/QUOTE] It'll certainly be peaceful, what with having no trigger or bullet drum.

[QUOTE=NassimO PotatO;27158353]Testing a new loading background... [img_thumb]http://img4.hostingpics.net/pics/889912maploading.png[/img_thumb] Some ideas for the background, behind the postcards ?[/QUOTE] Wood paneling would be good, one of the wood TF2 textures.

Anyone seen this yet? [url]http://www.gamebanana.com/skins/107338[/url] [img]http://image.gamebanana.com/ss/srends/_42-.jpg[/img]

I hadn't seen the mask and tie, but the base skin has been posted before

that guy really needs to get the fuck off that site

but its a nice looking skin unfitting but nice

I like how he called the tie a scarf.

[QUOTE=ColossalSoft;27164676]I like how he called the tie a scarf.[/QUOTE] people tie scarves like ties.

I've decided to try my hand at weapon modeling, so I'm posting it here for critiques. Here's what I have so far. [img]http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu4/SomeRandomIdiot/Tricannon/grenade_launcher_screen-1.jpg[/img]

[img_thumb]http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu4/SomeRandomIdiot/Tricannon/grenade_launcher_screen-1.jpg[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] Hmm... How shall I put this... Ok, I'll do this calmly. First, how long did you spend on this? Two, it's going to need a bit more detail then a flat shape with a second polygon to simulate it being round. Also, tricannon? (the filename.) It looks like the unholy spawn of the loch-and-load and a force of nature turned on it's side. To sum it up, come back later when you've done a fair bit of work on it, since I can't really give a critique of it now. I just don't have enough information on it.

[img_thumb]http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu4/SomeRandomIdiot/Tricannon/grenade_launcher_screen-1.jpg[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] Are you using Blender, if so fix the area that looks inside out by flipping the normals on the effected areas. Also, read tutorials before you post here, I know more often then not you would rather want critique on your first model then your 5th after listening to a tutorial, but trust me a crappy 1st model is much outweighed by an awesome 5th model. Not that the number matters or anything.

as a game-play function lasers are already in, so it could replace the pistol as a charged up weapon, or something along those lines.

[QUOTE=bigbadbarron;27165124]as a game-play function lasers are already in, so it could replace the pistol as a charged up weapon, or something along those lines.[/QUOTE] As a game particle, lasers are already in, unless I'm forgetting a weapon.

I'm not sure what you mean when you say it's a flat shape, because it is fully 3D It may look 2D because of the angle. Or are you saying talking about the flatness of the side of the stock? Because that's just me experimenting with the smoothing groups. As to the file name, I used the name tricannon because it has three barrels ,you can't see that in the picture because of the poor angle I chose. I also plan for the barrels to look like small cannons.

[QUOTE=Eeshton;27165217]As a game particle, lasers are already in, unless I'm forgetting a weapon.[/QUOTE] wrangled sentrys have a laser effect, which in source is just a small sprite tiled indefinitely, which can be done with almost all hit scan weapons. see: tau cannon from HL1, combine snipers from HL2 and so on.

[QUOTE=ColossalSoft;27164676]I like how he called the tie a scarf.[/QUOTE] It's called the Stockbroker's Scarf.

Is there a list of mods that are just fixes all in one collection? Like that flamethrower fix and Neo's Kill Icon fixes?

shugo is currently delaying it

[QUOTE=NeoDement;27157974]I don't check every post in every emporium so that sort of thing really belongs in a PM.[/QUOTE] Noted.

[QUOTE=The Ultimate;27166173]shugo is currently delaying it[/QUOTE] For good reason. Valve keep breaking stuff.

[QUOTE=CrazyBaconLegs;27162369]I'm one of those guys who got all the tools, and then life happened. I'll get back to it.[/QUOTE] That's not rage quitting now is it? I meant download all the tools and quit because it was too hard or complicated. Don't worry about it, life happened to me too. I need to find some spare time to model again.

[QUOTE=NeoDement;27157974] I don't check every post in every emporium so that sort of thing really belongs in a PM.[/QUOTE] Please tell me I'm not the only one who does?
