[QUOTE=EDDY TT;19683481]2x4 Wooden plank, WITH NAILS. Making it into a bat replacement (sandman for now).[/QUOTE] Uh huh, there's a big problem with that. How will we know whether or not it's a sandman or a bat? Also why is he hitting baseballs with a nail studded plank?

[QUOTE=Pacmaney;19684800]1)It's a wooden plank replacing a wooden bat, simple as hell[/QUOTE] My first reaction would be it's a bat because of the the baseball thingy I just said.

[QUOTE=Mexican;19684775]Uh huh, there's a big problem with that. How will we know whether or not it's a sandman or a bat? Also why is he hitting baseballs with a nail studded plank?[/QUOTE] Are you really that misguided? I'm making it to replace the sandman so I don't have to rip apart the view models to the original bat as c_ models are far easier to replace. If I think it's half decent I'll then submit it to valve then release for everyone else.

I'm just saying I'm doubtful Valve will use this, or anything else that's too unique, as a weapon replacement due to the issues with the instant recognition they spent so much time perfecting.

[QUOTE=Smashman;19684065]You need to download a Hex Editor and edit the .mdl files so that instead of IDST0 it is IDST, [editline]04:30PM[/editline] Wait. It needs to go into bin/ep1/bin[/QUOTE] alright, I moved it to ep1, and the actual application works But it can't decompile the medic model because "it can't open it"

[QUOTE=EDDY TT;19685105]Try saying that to the huntsman, ubersaw and bonk.[/QUOTE] Those are actual new weapons with different effects. Valve's only doing model replacements right now.

The firespitter concept art is really nice looking. However even though it looks real awesome, I doubt Valve will accept it as a new weapon for two reasons. Firstly, it just looks like you improved the backburner, they look too alike. Secondly, changing more parts of the flamethrower would perhaps make it easier to distinguish from the backburner and the flamethrower. At the moment it would make a great replacement for the backburner, but it's not orignal enough to be it's own weapon.

Why is the wood shiny?

[QUOTE=Epidemick;19685267]Why is the wood shiny?[/QUOTE] I haven't edited the vmt yet, it's using the sandmans for now. I'll tone it down later.

i asked myself the same thing, wood in a plank like that ain't polished, shouldn't be shiny

[QUOTE=EDDY TT;19685232]Gonna add some blood now.[/QUOTE] That's an awesome model, good job.

[QUOTE=Epidemick;19685119]alright, I moved it to ep1, and the actual application works But it can't decompile the medic model because "it can't open it"[/QUOTE] You need Notepad++. Find the model you want to decompile and right click on it and choose "Edit with Notepad++". On the very first line, you should see IDST0. Change the 0 to a comma and it should become "IDST," and then save it. It should now work.

[QUOTE=Nidhogg;19680212][img_thumb]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v230/Ragnarokdragon/pyro_dragonflamethrower.jpg[/img_thumb] Your suggestions for a new name or abilities are welcome. :)[/QUOTE] Make it an Icespitter.

[QUOTE=Sgt Pepper;19673543]I would suggest not allowing reposts [sp]Neo[/sp] from previous emporiums into present emporiums. Yes, he wants to get his best stuff recognized, but things like the patriotic patroller were from Daimao's mod emporium, so that shouldn't really even have made it past the first mod emporium...[/QUOTE] If you check page 2 I told him he wasn't meant to repost them straight away :v:

[QUOTE=Epidemick;19685119]alright, I moved it to ep1, and the actual application works But it can't decompile the medic model because "it can't open it"[/QUOTE] Please read what you quoted. The IDST thing is your problem. Thing is, you don't have to decompile the player models, they come with the SDK.

I said that first, AND it's not even required. Check the sourcesdk.gcf and search medic.maya or medic.smd

Fuck I've just noticed I've got tearing happening on the plank. I HATE YOU OBJ FORMAT.

[QUOTE=Keychain;19685343]Make it an Icespitter.[/QUOTE] I support this if it's for blu team only.

[QUOTE=EDDY TT;19685629]Fuck I've just noticed I've got tearing happening on the plank. I HATE YOU OBJ FORMAT.[/QUOTE] Valve support SMDs too now, you know.

[QUOTE=NeoDement;19685667]Valve support SMDs too now, you know.[/QUOTE] I know but valves plugins for maya are very temperamental, looks like I'll have to do some face cutting to solve this issue. One side fixed up, moving to the other, hoping this wont affect the uvwrap much. :geno:

Ooh I like the way it goes through his finger

[QUOTE=NeoDement;19686030]Ooh I like the way it goes through his finger[/QUOTE] You do know the original sandman does that too. Also fixed up the tearing, but now I have to redo my texture.

I figured out what I did wrong when I compiled it! The only problem now is that the texture wont show. Also, here's a preview of it: [img]http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/686/wwadsdasd.png[/img]
