[QUOTE=<data_panel>;27176097]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]
In my opinion, a black stick with a battery on it's side and 2 massive wires on the top would come up to the "electrical" theme.

It looks much better than the previous version.

The blade is now thin.

[QUOTE=Bat-shit;27175707]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[/QUOTE]
Paypal, that's all. Unusuals go from 20€ to 600€. Yeah, i know, insane

[Frying Dutchman]

That certainly is an improvement.

Now it looks even better. Improve the handle and show us the whole model, I will give you some ideas.

[CWalkthroughs]

Whats a good plugin for blender for exporting .mdl files?

I tried NeverBlender but that things installation process is hard as fudge.

[QUOTE=Demeschik;27176570]Now it looks even better. Improve the handle and show us the whole model, I will give you some ideas.[/QUOTE]

Not sure what to do with the handle. I increased the length of the blade as to make it not as long as the handle anyways.

This is the entire model so far:

It nice, but I think it could use some more uniqueness, maybe mess around with the handle to make it sorta similar to the eternal reward shape, and have the knife a little thicker.

[CWalkthroughs]

Ok, scratch the previous post. I found my way.

Make the handle less round, maybe with some of those little finger-indents that make a better grip.

[&lt;data_panel&]

How's this? Also shrunk some stuff, angled some other things.

Not sure what happened to the handle, but as soon as I stopped extruding the handle, that happened. :/

Still a little bit too round, the problem with it being round is that its harder to grip that a thin handle.

[&lt;data_panel&]

^ I'll fix that right now. While I do that:

I tried compiling it with a random texture just because I want to see what it looks like ingame, and this was the output.

What does it mean?

[.Omo]

Means the folder(s) don't exist.

[DwarfRed]

Does the folder you're putting it into pre-exist? Compiler won't create the folders for you.

[&lt;data_panel&]

I created the folders, like you guys suggested, and it works! :buddy:

Now to see if it clips a lot ingame...

[editline]3rd January 2011[/editline]

It works, AND it doesn't clip! :buddy:

I bet it's not, it's just offscreen. Look in model viewer, it's probably off to the right or left...maybe.

Whut's zis?

[Overseer No. 2]

Does anyone know where I can find Shugo's improved weapon sound pack? FPSbanana's new design is so crap I can't find it anywhere.

Thanks :buddy:

[QUOTE=<data_panel>;27178839]Whut's zis?[/QUOTE]

Let me guess: you used decompiled animations? Can't do that, my friend. The only way I know how to get around that is to include the .mdl of the original knife. Add $includemodel "Path to copy&pasted/renamed spy knife here" to your .qc. You can ditch your $sequence lines, too.

[DinoJesus]

Heres a render of the tiki.

You need to pull the spy knife model out of gfcexplorer, and put them in a folder. Then, add $includemodel "path to where you put the knife model you just extracted" in the .qc file, and it fixes the animations.

That's pretty much exactly what I did.

I also followed your tips, and it's still invisible.

Wait, I'm gussing you mean w_knife, not v_knife_spy? If that's the case, then D'OH.

Nevermind, tried both, still invisible.

[The_Broker]

Does anybody know if Hecates ever released his character backpack hud pack? (I don't mean the icons of the items, but the buttons leading to the loadouts) I was really looking forward to the beta-styled ones.

Also, does anybody know if the maker of the Brass Beast and Bear Hands ever released that eatable cactus that was replaced by the Buffalo steak?

It is a little flat. It needs to have a bit of curve to it, or a little more complexity than extruded edges.

[&lt;data_panel&]

Okay, I realized I had forgotten to remove the "DRAW" sequence from the qc. I did so, and now this happens.
