[QUOTE=OmniConsUme;48109599]So Extracted the newest Update for Source Filmmaker files (really I kinda wanted the inspection animations), and OH DEAR GOD. It requires 5+ VTFs per material for one skin... (TBH I don't know if CS:GO is a similar system)[/QUOTE]
I think CS:GO is just an overlay texture, where as these are more sophisticated. I was watching a stream and noticed that no two skins are the same. They're slightly different.

I think that's how CS:GO works too. I remember looking into it when I was considering contributing to their workshop and you had to basically juggle between different textures and their own alpha channels.
Played a couple of quick matches and I think all these look kind of like rocket jumpers, a bit confusing from a distance, at least when I first saw it. Anyone else feel this way?

The issue is that, during a fight, I'm running low on ammo and I see red rocket launcher from a distance. I go for pickup, and I'm not 100% sure if I'm getting a rocket jumper or a rocket launcher. Maybe it's just early game, but it's confusing me for a few seconds.
Also might want to edit that quote, wall of images a second time.

That also happened to me.
It also confused me while playing Pyro. I saw a Soldier walking away from me and I thought he had a rocket jumper, so instead of baiting him with my shotgun and then airblast his rockets, I thought I'd just shotgun him, get closer and finish him off with my Powerjack.
Nope, he turned around and crit rocketted me. I would've kept my distance if I had known it was a rocket launcher.
I think I'll mod the rocket jumper model so that I can tell the difference easily.
So uh.... Does anybody else know what the "action key" actually is?
For me, my "contextual action/taunt" is the only thing I can find with the word "action" in it in my Keybinds, but if I try to pick up a fallen weapon, all it does is bring up my taunt menu.
I've never got confused by it, I guess I just have good eyes or something. It's kinda easy to tell between the different shades of orange and the tip of the launcher being white.
[QUOTE=Nidhogg;48109509]Oh wow, talk about shit luck. The same weapon dropped twice on both of my missions, even though I did the bonus on only one of them. Doesn't seem like doing the bonuses seems to change anything if it's just going to give me the same garbage.
Worst of all, it gave me this.

I'm fine with getting shit weapons 'cuz I don't really use 'em anyways, but getting the exact same weapon twice is kinda sad.[/QUOTE]
looks like fettucine has been wrapped around the rocket launcher
So, some interesting things are happening in the crafting system right now, and by interesting I mean "valve what the fuck did you do"
-A few stock weapons are craftable (presumably they screwed this up implementing weapon skins)
-[B]A few achievement promos are craftable[/B] (Black Rose, Iron Curtain, Enthusiast's Timepiece to name a few)
-All hats with random levels that are crafted are level 1
So grab your tokens and start crafting, because this'll probably be fixed by tomorrow
So, apparently [B]dropped Mediguns retain their charge in pub mode only and not in competitive mode (timers and such).
[/B]
In reference to the post by 165your4, To me it looks more like crap smeared on a white surface.
In fact if you remove some of the parts it starts to look like a dirty toilet plunger, pic related.

Found an exploit, if you could call it that.
If you equip knife and then pick up a YER, you can change disguise at will with it equipped.
Of course you lose it when you die, but if you are a good Spy, could be gamebreaking.

Just tried this and it works.
I now have 2 iron curtains crafted by me, and a shotgun crafted by me.
The iron curtains are untradeable though, so I assume this applies to other promos
[QUOTE]Fixed a case where some gifted items would use [unknown] for the gift giver [/QUOTE]
Nice!
I hope I'll be able to fix my hud after this update. The balance changes actually look really good. I just hope the performance didn't get worse again with all these weapon skins.
Can confirm the above isn't all true. My Black Rose is tradable.
[editline]3rd July 2015[/editline]
Tested. Traded it to friend and back.
Starting the bidding at 500$
[editline]3rd July 2015[/editline]
Also any other promos confirmed for craftability?
got an enthusiast's time piece
golly
Is there a way to get what you want specifically when crafting or is it completely random if you get one of those promo items? I'm trying it with slot tokens but I haven't crafted anything unusual yet.
I'm starting to run out of items to make the tokens with.
Hey guys, take a look at this [img]http://puu.sh/iLDX8/1fb886e100.png[/img]
Snip:
Meh I did this wrong somehow...eh.
I got a shotgun created by myself. Neat.
Is that a bug ?
What the fuck, I have to pay to get contracts? Are you serious?
I thought it was a fake payment on the update page like they've done before, but apparently not.
Good fucking job Valve, I was interested in this update and wanted to play, but I can't since I don't want to spend 7 dollars.
Just crafted a stock Knife trying to get a Black Rose. Entire server immediately freaked out.

You can still play on the new maps if you don't pay, you just don't get to do the contracts to get the weapon reskins.
Aaaand there's my Black Rose. Entire server now convinced I'm a wizard.

I wanted to do the latter.
Someone crafted a fucking australium flamethrower somehow O.O

As far as numbers go, anyone wanting to replicate that success would be focusing on trying to get an Australium Blutsauger as that'd yield the highest chances of results. The Medic's primary slot has the fewest amount of options available (four), next closest is Pyro's primary slot and Engineer's primary slot. However, I'd hazard that there runs a chance of nabbing a botkiller or even a festive in the process, as there seems to be no restriction on what can be crafted. However, they could also try to just craft madly if they don't want an australium specifically, in which case attempting to craft Flamethrowers or Mediguns would yield the highest chance of [i]any[/i] successes (but most likely Botkillers if that's indeed the case).
