TF2 Emporium XXI

[QUOTE=Tylizzle;23418193]They are CTX files, but edited CTX files only work if you host a local server or place them on your server. Other than that editing them won't work in actual games.[/QUOTE]

Actually, they changed items_game over to a straight .txt file since Valve wanted to make it easier for us to grab that file if we needed it for whatever reason. The only reason it was a CTX was to encrypt it to prevent cheating, but people cracked the format anyway (You may remember the exploit a long time ago where Scouts could carry miniguns and the like.) so they just switched it to be server-side.

And while SOME changes don't work online, some other changes DO. Ones I can name off the top of my head are changing text strings, adding/removing text descriptions, changing slot (as long as it's still functionally the same as the server's version, like swapping all of the Demoman's primary weapons and secondary weapons so that the grenade launcher becomes "primary"), changing loadout icon properties, appending/removing "propername" prefixes ([b]The[/b] Ambassador, [b]A[/b] Community Kritzkrieg), changing weapon sounds (like making the Pain Train have metal impacts instead of broken bottle impacts), and changing the backpack mouse_pressed and drop sounds.

I have a modified items_game.txt that I personally use that fixes a number of errors and improves many items' loadout appearances. It's a great file to know how to mod.

That said, the string that controls whether or not an item "falls off" the player model is "drop_type", contrary to the popular belief that this string controls whether or not an item can be "dropped" as a found item for your inventory. If set to "none", then the item will stick to the player model on death. If set to "drop", then they drop it on death. As for whether or not this works online, I'll have to do some testing; I've never played around with this before.

So, you can make the paintrain use different sounds without replacing anything? And does it work online? If yes, tell me the line where it is in items_game.txt and I might do some good stuff (like new sounds for the FJ).

[QUOTE=Left4Meds;23414349]I went back to my old request of Dingodile's Flamethrower now that I know how to model and made this in 10 minutes.[/QUOTE]
I think my avatar speaks words already. Continue that, it looks cool.

Yes, it works online. Here's what I added to my Pain Train's info:

			"visuals"
			{
				"sound_melee_hit"		"Weapon_Shovel.HitFlesh"
				"sound_melee_hit_world"	"Weapon_Shovel.HitWorld"
			}

Basically just forced shovel sounds, so it sounds the same as it always did for Soldier but also sounds that way for Demoman too. I've made other sound changes, too, like giving the Tribalman's Shiv wooden sounds (it currently sounds metal) or making the Homewrecker have heavy-hitting flesh impact noises (like a wrench) instead of sounding like an axe chop.

All these changes are going to be part of my huge text mod that I'm still working on. And before fifty people message me on Steam asking "How's it coming?", it's coming along fine.

Oh, well damn. Didn't know that they changed it over or that they would work on other servers. Informative, thanks.

:siren: ALERT! :siren:
Mentlegen, I have grave news. After downloading some things from previous threads (The ocelot taunt, Masha and Dasha, and the Health Image thingo that appears above the person you're healing) my computer contracted malware and was bricked. Nothing else was downloaded that day (As in, files), and everything went to shit AFTER they were downloaded.

So for future reference, please check your links and files, and be cautious of old links (I'm looking at you, whoever uploaded the link to the ocelot taunt). That is all.

What sites were those mods hosted on?

[ventnor]

Redid the texture and got this

Also I'm having an issue when exporting the model as .smd

Any clues on whats wrong? I'm using this plugin

I can't really say. They were mirrors for fpsbanana for sure, but I can't remember the specific ones I used.

What browser are you using? There's a current rumor that FPSB is/was infected with a virus that mostly targets Internet Explorer users or users who aren't running AdBlock.

Yeah, don't use FPSB, link [url=http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=968566]here[/url]. Good luck trying to get that off your computer.

[Shugo]

All the more reason why we need that TF2 Emporium site going...

...[i]Galago[/i].

EDIT: Or Filipe. I hadn't followed that thread and I just went and took a look. I personally highly agree with all the urges to go with FireSlash.

[AlfieSR]

Would anyone happen to have a copy of the fixed Sola Topi?
I'm not really wanting to go to FPSB at the moment for obvious reasons.

The texture would look good with thick weaving. Right now it looks like it's made out of recycled cardboard and fiber.

[Pie_Savvy]

Don't worry commie cake, I have a brilliant idea for something to replace the scope and make it overall a bit more interesting.

But the concept art was made a few months ago, so it was a bit sucky. (and back then scopes were cool)

I got it a few days ago - exactly one day before the Engineer update. The computer has been in the repairers since then, and I only got it back TODAY.

You actually pay other people to rid your computer of viruses?

Come on...you can do that for free by spending a few minutes on Google... :frown:

[AlfieSR]

Depends on the virus really.
Usually if you're unable to remove it yourself, it does pay off to take it to someone before a reinstallation if worse comes to worse.

Also, repost, does anyone have that "Fixed" Sola Topi texture?

[NeoDement]

[QUOTE=Communist Cake;23412184]Maybe you could make a new FaN icon. For some reason, the one ingame seems a little odd. Don't really know how to explain it.[/QUOTE]
That's probably my favourite icon, so I'm going to need a little more detail.

[Apocalypsewaffle]

[QUOTE=NeoDement;23420233]That's probably my favourite icon, so I'm going to need a little more detail.[/QUOTE]

There is nothing wrong with the FAN icon, that's just nitpicking now :v:

The irony is most of your icons improved upon nitpicked details.

[Simski]

Is it possible to make a hat switch model when it's dropped from the player being killed?

I was wondering if it was possible to make Heavy's rag turn into an untied rag with jigglebones on death.
To make it appear as if it unties on death, and it's jiggleboned so it reacts to the world in a way more fit for a rag.

Nitpicking separates the good from the better :3:

[NeoDement]

If you can tell me what you don't like about it, I will change it :/

[QUOTE=NeoDement;23412037]Here are the icon's as they currently are:
[img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/900111/wipkilliconsheet.png[/img]

Here's a list of what I intend:

Some of it's a bit vague/poorly worded, but hopefully it makes enough sense. Suggest anything you want, and tell me if there's any that you really DON'T want. Hopefully I can work out some way of not forcing all of them upon you at once.[/QUOTE]

Hmm, all of your changes seem pretty sound - maybe if you're adding fire to the flare gun, add it to the Hadouken also? I gave it a go in Paintshop, but I'm not sure how well it suits it?

I like the idea of adding the red on the Tribalman's shiv, along with lighter stars for the fists. I <3 consistancy.

As for the guitar, the only thing I could see that needs doing is flipping the pick guard. I posted a flipped version in the last emporium if you want to use that.

[swampie]

damn

when i uv map using unwrap pro 3d, i get this:

Will this include the Sandman icon that you had in the previous releases?

part of the toolbox is missing? the one furthest down

[NeoDement]

Yeah that's just a mistake, don't worry about it

[editline]11:28AM[/editline]

There's also two Nataschas and no Lugermorph, it's the WIP sheet

reposting because noone noticed.
I'd use it atleast

What's wrong with it? Upside down or something?
[QUOTE=Takuat;23420720]Will this include the Sandman icon that you had in the previous releases?[/QUOTE]

Yeah, and the telefrag.

[Frying Dutchman]

Will it include an app which you can choose which icons you want?

probably the tenth time I ask this :downs:
