TF2 Emporium 61: Smoking Guns

[BaconDaemon]

[QUOTE=TheJukebox;47513433]There are plenty of youtube tutorials and steam guides out there for the basics. People here will help you with specific stuff but I doubt anyone is going to completely teach you every single thing.[/QUOTE]

Is there a guide to editing pre-existing models, like player models?

[QUOTE=BaconDaemon;47515157]Is there a guide to editing pre-existing models, like player models?[/QUOTE]

Let me know if I'm wrong, but there should be tutorials that tell you how to import tf2 files with cgfscape and programs like crowbar. That includes the player models. After finding them with cgfscape it's as easy as using your modeling program to change up whatever you like.

I'm still open to changes on the model, but I've also been experimenting with the textures. I am having trouble bringing out the handle; it feels a little weird to me atm. Any thoughts? ([URL="https://p3d.in/iOAnZ"]3D[/URL])[/QUOTE]

Make the hatch marks a lot darker?

Imagine setting the sai down on a table several thousand times all from different angles; everywhere that touches the imaginary table should have more prominent edge wear to it. places that would never touch the table would have much more subtle edge wear.

Now imagine rubbing dirt all over the thing, and brushing it off with your hands. All crevices where the dirt remains should be a bit darker, perhaps with a hint of brown.

Very nice, but seeing some repeating texture syndrome on the first pic you may want to address, like on the chimney looking bit and also the wall on the right of the pic

Looks really good, but I don't like the pommel. I would suggest making it's texture match the blade and also maybe even go with a different shape (maybe this [URL="http://i1373.photobucket.com/albums/ag370/matt_little1/Metal-Octagonal-Black-Sai_zps83ed47aa.jpg"]one[/URL]).

[QUOTE=LightFlock;47514824]That looks really nice now. My only comment is it looks empty without a 3D skybox (or much of one?) which I assume you're still to work on by the 95% part?[/QUOTE]

There is indeed not too much of a skybox. However all those screenshots are taken from angles you would usually not see while playing the map. If you spectate and fly to higher areas it becomes noticable. I'm not sure if it would be justified to add more details that will be rarely seen but have an impact on slower computers since the skybox is rendered all the time. I'll look further into it.

So just a quick question here

How many people have had their payment info/tax info coming up as incomplete/invalid in their details/when submitting a workshop submission?

I'm assuming it must be some steam/workshop fuck-up since quite a few people are having the same issue

I had the issue, it's something on valves end because they recently did an audit

Just email Angie about it, took me like 2 days to get fixed I think

You can't have the names between your first and last names anymore. Why? because Valve owns you and tells you what your name is now

I got this too. It's annoying because my recent item doesn't show up in the workshop till it's sorted :/

Yeah, I'm rigging him (or at least attempting to, I suck at it) for some freak fortress server, but my jigglebones don't work along

[GladoSC]

[QUOTE=GladoSC;47512769]Okay guys, specific request today.

I'm working on an article about Steam Workshop for a Czech games magazine and I'd like to accompany it with an interview. And who should I talk to if not to creators of the very finest hats and accessories?!

It would be just a few questions and it wouldn't take long. Only two things I want are: you have to have an item/s in-game and you aren't shy to share how much you've made from it/them (approx.). Other than that I don't want any personal info, just to chat about TF2, Workshop, Valve involvement and maybe other things.

If you would like to participate, PM me here / add me on Steam or answer with an e-mail so I can send you the questions once I have them ready.

Thank you in advance![/QUOTE]

One (and only) repost for a new page. I got a chance to expand the article so could maybe use more people. Your help is highly appreciated.

[Bapaul]

Just approach someone you have in mind for it, most people are kind enough

Are these for workshop release? If so i really don't think they're going to let another spiked baseball bat in. Although it does look much better than the current one so maybe release it as a mod?

Try using an example from the [URL="https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/$jigglebone"]valve wiki[/URL] as a base.

Boston Basher isn't a bat, it's actually a medieval spiked club.

Forgive me, i didn't research it, but both items are pretty similar. Fair enough if you look at things like hats which have a few similar designs, but weapon-wise i don't think they'd add it due to the sparse amount of weapons you see Valve add to TF2 when they could add something fresh and new.

At least everything has color now. Made the carvings on the handle look a lot neater, added a bit of transition on the edgewear for the blade and prongs (let me know if this is too subtle). Still gotta clean stuff up. Let me know what you think. [URL="https://p3d.in/iOAnZ"]3d[/URL]

[Bynine]

If a nail bat is too similar you could just do a 2x4 with nails. I'd prefer the bat but it's an idea regardless

I'm not too sure about the lightwarp. It looks like plastic more than metal;
