[QUOTE=Flubbman;43292250]Oh, I just realized that.
You should never include other items that attract too much attention from the actual submission in your preview pics. You want people to notice the hair, not the shades or the moustache. I thought it was all a single item until I remembered the MM already exists.
For example, here's my main Gaelic Garb preview.

Can you see immediately where the actual submission is? I probably wouldn't.[/QUOTE]
the thumbnail should always be the item on its own
only in the submission page itself should you have full images of it with other items
[QUOTE=Spectre1406;43292292]I don't know if this is happening to anyone else, but my watches are still invisible even after installing this correctly and outside vpk. Any ideas?[/QUOTE]
Well that's interesting, I just tried uninstalling the mod, the watches went blank, re-downloaded it and re-installed, they are visible.
So I didn't screw up (phew), you probably just have some old files somewhere in the custom folder overriding the mod. It doesn't work with certain custom watch mods, but that can be solved by overwriting their .vmt's.

I deleted the ones that I think conflicts with it, but no, it's still invisible. I'm completely clueless here.

I think you have it sloping in the back too much, which makes it look pointed.

I didn't liked the backpack textures, though, if someone thinks they can do a better job, tell me.
Anyways, should i make a phongmask?

I'll be honest, it doesn't look like its own item at all, (also the backpack could be larger/moved up), from practically any distance is it hard to tell that this isn't the gunslinger, and the fine details will only help someone distinguish the two robotic hands if they are within melee range of the engineer. The item itself is almost harder to identify than the backburner compared to the flamethrower.

This is going to sound extremely out of the ball park, and really random, but would anyone happen to have any idea where [URL="http://www.gameinformer.com/cfs-filesystemfile.ashx/__key/CommunityServer-Components-ImageFileViewer/CommunityServer-Components-UserFiles-00-01-02-44-90-Attached+Files/4532.cow_5F00_mangler_5F00_5000_5F00_simplified_5F00_wip_5F00_1.png_2D00_610x0.png"]this thing[/URL] is and where I can get a hold of it?

Just base colors so far. If someone knows a better color for the vest, please tell me.
crap, forgot the buttons

Well, since it's a secondary, it should have an unique silhouette (I'm also planning on making custom animations), and that's why i made the backpack

I'll take the backpack advice, though.

It's important that the silhouette is different in the right place too
Nobody really looks at the back to see what melee someone has

Wait the item [I]isn't[/I] the gunslinger with slightly modified parts?
How does it look with the default gloves then? Or is it a different kind of gunslinger and I misunderstood you?
Also valve RARELY accepts custom animations. Soldier has about 30~ weapons and only uses 7~ animations for them all.

Try removing positively everything except the .vpk and put it in a backup folder.
[QUOTE=Sparkwire;43298890]its just early November payment[/QUOTE]
Probably shouldn't be talking about this but, they kept all of the key profits? It doesn't seem like they fit in any key profits into this check. I am happy with what I got, but. There is clearly no evidence that they summed in any key profits in this. This is from halloween correct?

Since someone released the minigun beta muzzleflash:

My old beta muzzleflashes for the other guns. They still work.
Any bug, contact me.

How does this look so far? Should I try adding another color besides grey?
It's pretty boring. Relies too much on a weird gimmick on the handle which will generally be covered up anyway
