TF2 Emporium 66

[Sims_doc]

Anyhow! I've made a start on your concept [URL="https://facepunch.com/member.php?u=729953"]James VU[/URL] and blocked it out.

But you've gotta add more detail to your weapon concept.

Specifically around the Bolt Group, Stock and Trigger Pack; Because in your concept they blend almost seamlessly together.

[QUOTE=Robot Agent;53015760]Even though you are right that helpful advice shouldn't be ignored, I still think that it's just as important for contributors to have a healthy relationship with each other (not that I would know anything about that).[/QUOTE]

I think its within the rights of each individual contributor to choose who they wish to work with.
you can't force people to get along.

I'm not saying you should be [b]forced[/b] to get along, I'm just saying people should at least [b]try[/b], and many don't seem to do that at all. I didn't care much if I got along with anyone, but I'm def working on it now. It's slow, but every step counts.

I think overall people do try and get along. But sometimes people act in a way that results in others not wanting to work with them.

I don't know why ikes thought it was a good idea to try and start drama when there clearly isn't any besides "we don't like bang much", but that shouldn't worry you or anybody at all. Bang just provided useful information/assets, and did it in a mostly non-condescending way (there are "X for dummies" guides everywhere and I doubt bang phrased the title like that to purposely tick people off"). Don't worry about it and don't let somebody like Ikes making a dumb comment fan any flames. Personal problems are personal problems, if somebody dislikes somebody else, that's their perogative. It doesn't mean there's some drama or discourse going on withing the TF2 modding/design community, and it certainly doesn't mean people are petty enough to go "Well, Bang! did provide some good info and assets, but we hate him so fuck 'im."

[Yikes!]

[QUOTE='[Square];53015679']Actually, this information is very useful.
We're not just going to outright ignore useful information because of the issues with Bang that members of the team have.
This is valuable feedback and we welcome it.

I don't appreciate you stirring things up.[/QUOTE]

I'm glad you've proven me wrong!

[NassimO]

[QUOTE=BANG!;53015506]Well, I actually contacted Neodement beforehand, from previous experiences though, telling people over chat isn't enough, a post seemed a better way to present the information and keep it in one place.
I also couldn't reach out to other people who worked on the assets, its not clear who did what exactly and I feel like the community as whole could benefit from this information rather than keeping it private.

In the past some people considered I was being pedantic about these optimization things, I get it, this technical stuff [I]is[/I] pedantic but it really has an impact especially on massive assets pack if you are not careful.
I am sure people will take it into consideration for future projects, fixing it now would be a lot of work and backpedaling, although its possible.

There's a [URL="https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1367160&p=44104959&viewfull=1#post44104959"]few posts[/URL] I made a few years ago for the TF2 Vehicle contest, about asset compiling for TF2 which is still very valid, minus the Phong/Rimlight which I had in the examples there because it was mostly for vehicles (shiny objects), but really try not to use Phong in general.[/QUOTE]

Any ETA on your photoshop plugin ?

momo finished up the RF-16, i also went around and fixed some other minor stuff on the model.

Comes with long and short variations, the short matching the proportion of the stock train/SD40, so they can be used interchangably in level design terms. Though i think the regular/long one is more visually pleasing. And both of those have skybox variants and share textures. Lods shave it down to about 800 triangles minimum and all that good stuff.

[kerpkek]

yeeeeessss

[Momoderator]

Those RF-16 textures were great to work on! Took me a while, but with everybody's feedback, I think it turned out not too badly. If anybody has any critique or suggestions, feel free to share them.

Nope, It's what happens when you take a rough revolver shape and slap bits of a portal gun onto it.

So, i was trying to find tutorials on creating a TF2 mod (but not custom items, i mean things like TF2C or Lambda Fortress) and couldn't find any, would someone know of a good tutorial to link me? I don't plan on making anything wild, i just wanted to fiddle around with some weapon stats. I don't even know the basics of setting up folder structures etc. Any help would be appreciated :)

I tought of that, but it says all of that info is for HL2 only. Does that mean that it doesn't work for TF2, or simply that i have to create the mod manually?
Thanks for the link, by the way :)

Isn't there a modding program that will pack it for you? Itemtoast.

[B]Edit: [/B]That's more of a question than an answer.

That's for packing model replacements for cosmetics or weapons. Not actual game play affecting stuff.

I created a (slightly janky) mod to help improve people's screenshot taking ability for skins. Works pretty similar to hlmv. Has instructions on how to change the background color if you want to use a greenscreen too.

ctrl + click to move light source

Looks great! The interior could have been more detailed however (bones for the speedometer?). Also some envmap / wear on the texture would spice it up a lot.

Front bump seems to be empty (lack of emblem) / topology seems to cause some strange light artifacts, maybe add some beveling to the rim?

I won't state the obvious.

[Sims_doc]

Alright, so! I never really liked the look of the original popper as practically everyone and their mom has done a M79 along with the double barrel shotgun.

Solution? combine the two and get something visually interesting.

Redesign.

don't pull that kind of cr*p, 'your' concept is closer to the submission than the actual walther MPL, I would recommend dropping the act before you find yourself in the mud to the neck.

Did you actually censor yourself.

Also calm down lad, people often end up thinking of the same idea every so often.
