TF2 Emporium XXVIII - Games

[QUOTE=Jetamo;27171798]We used to do that on the Facepunch unsrs server, using the TF2 Equipment Manager thing, which lets you wear custom hats and everyone see it on a server. Better yet, we used to make the original model invisible, so it would just be an engi model.[/QUOTE] That plugin still exists and works to make the playermodels invisible. :v: It's just equipment manager which is completely fucking retarded now.

[QUOTE=EDDY TT;27172303]That plugin still exists and works to make the playermodels invisible. :v: It's just equipment manager which is completely fucking retarded now.[/QUOTE] What's wrong with it exactly?

Probably useless now as most people can buy, trade and craft their hats

[QUOTE=Wormy;27171095]This is what happens when you replace a weapon or a hat with a class model: [img_thumb]http://www.imgjoe.com/x/awesomescout.png[/img_thumb] Engineer with a headset looks kinda cool... [img_thumb]http://www.imgjoe.com/x/awesomesxsx.png[/img_thumb] It's awesome. Right?[/QUOTE] Engineer with a headset looks kinda cool.

I thought that some splatter-type paint would be great along with the current paints. Like a blood-splatter paint, on a hat or even a weapon like some melee weapon would fit the shovel or the bat pretty well and I don't see the harm in it, it wouldn't unbalance shit, it wouldn't be too fancy or too distinguish like some crazy unusual hat effects which i personally don't like at all.. maybe im the only one lol

VTFEdit.

It won't be long until we have polka dot and $10 rainbow paint.

[QUOTE=Mad Chatter;27173526]It won't be long until we have polka dot and $10 rainbow paint.[/QUOTE] I predict crying Scouts everywhere.

[QUOTE=maxumym;27173594]I predict crying Scouts everywhere.[/QUOTE] I predict a lot of retarded hats.

[QUOTE=Reds;27173804]I predict a lot of retarded hats.[/QUOTE] "trading unusual capotain with rainbow polkadots for 10 refined plz." Oh no....

Well, what could be the next step of Valve after taking names, descriptions, paints and particle effects to the extreme? We know Unusuals can only get more and more common. Especially since people sell them for hundreds of dollars, I don't think somebody would craft 2 of them together, except for when that person thinks it proves a point - and that should be a very, very small fraction of the TF2 players.

Im working on a tiki shield for the sniper, heres my progress. [IMG]http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/9739/tikishieldtexturing.png[/IMG] First time I've ever modeled for source, mainly because converting to source seems like a bitch.

just allow people to craft together two unusuals to create a new one. bam, all the terrible hats with flies and tf2 logos and stuff get crafted away, creating a hat sink in the economy and increasing demand (which in turn will increase key sales). everybody's happy!

Though if I ever find an unusual hat, I'm probably gonna trade it for some hat that I want. I never liked unusual hats

[QUOTE=Bat-shit;27175221]Yeah indeed. Though if I ever find an unusual hat, I'm probably gonna trade it for some hat that I want. I never liked unusual hats[/QUOTE] Rather sell it for cash than trade it for 1 hat. That would be absolutely stupid.

[QUOTE=SlashSpeed;27175345]Rather sell it for cash than trade it for 1 hat. That would be absolutely stupid.[/QUOTE] Oh.. You mean some guy would actually send say, 50-200euros, directly into my Visa Electron type deal internet back account, if I gave them the unusual hat? Because if so I gotta keep that in mind

Guys, would one of you want to texture a weapon for me? For free, that is? When it's done I'm uploading it to FPSBana- I mean GAMEBanana, and I'll credit you for it! :unsmith:

For your soul :unsmigghh:

[QUOTE=The Ultimate;27175788]For your soul :unsmigghh:[/QUOTE] Deal! :buddy:

I would also like to do it. But I'm late :unsmith:

That looks odd and unfitting but it would make a nice challenge to texture. :buddy:

[QUOTE=Frying Dutchman;27175909]That looks odd and unfitting but it would make a nice challenge to texture. :buddy:[/QUOTE] What could I change before I send it? :buddy:

[QUOTE=<data_panel>;27175925]What could I change before I send it? :buddy:[/QUOTE] Well what is it exactly? what did you try to model or recreate?

[QUOTE=<data_panel>;27175891] [img_thumb]http://filesmelt.com/dl/The_Electrocutter.png[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] It looks like 3 mountains on the top of a tower, that floats in the air, or like a secret base under a sierra... But it doesn't look like a knife at all!

[QUOTE=Frying Dutchman;27175992]Well what is it exactly? what did you try to model or recreate?[/QUOTE] I'm not sure wether or not you guys in here are still doing the whole "electrical" theme, but since nobody made a knife, the idea was that a battery sends electricity through the metal, making it shock you or something. It's a replacement for the spy knife. [QUOTE=Demeschik;27175993]It looks like 3 mountains on the top of a tower, that floats in the air, or like a secret base under a sierra... But it doesn't look like a knife at all![/QUOTE] How about this? Any better? [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/This_any_better.png[/img] I'm going to add something to make it look like you're actually slashing people with it as well, not just punt them with it when you're not backstabbing.

The idea is fine but the model could use some work. Maybe as an idea: Try to model a big kitchen knife and strap a battery to the side. I would make a bit more sense as a makeshift weapon. Currently it's pretty hard to see what it is.
