Team Fortress 2 Classic V3 - Games

[QUOTE=Wackoweasel;48967295]A gameplay-changing mechanic has been brought up with the developers once again, and due to the direction of some modern shooters, we're considering actually giving it a go. This mechanic is changing our current DM weapon system from the current Halo-esque pickup system into an extended weapon bucket system more in-line with DM mode's initial idea of being an homage to classic shooters. The system would be comparable to how Half-Life 2 and Half-Life 2 DeathMatch did it, where the weapons would be categorized in each weapon slot by what type of weapon they are (as an example, crowbar in slot 1, handguns in slot 2, rapid-fire weapons in slot 3, and more) and will most likely go up to 6 or 7 slots. One of the main benefits of this is that it would finally quell the endless debate as to which weapons should be on the primary slot and which weapons should be on the secondary slot. What we want to know is whether or not you guys would prefer this or if we should just stick to our current weapon pickup system.

I played Timesplitters a lot as a kid and I like being able to carry an armada of guns with yourself. Also, I really think that a mantread affect on death match would be fun with jump pads.

It's just that it is limited to three weapons at once

[QUOTE=La Boite;48967262][sp] I was asked to not bring FR here, so I'll just say it's going good, but a bit on the side, with smaller projects happening before it.[/sp] Jump-pads and/or sprint-pads scattered around larger maps seems to be a lot of fun, it could bring multiple floors map to a more fluent game experience. As a building, it seems out of place for the scout. the mantread mechanic is great, and shouldn't be limited to the jump-pads; crushing an opponent from a rooftop is something I wanna try to do! And for the name, does it really matter? TF2C, TF2-not-C, we don't play a game for its name, so everyone should stop worrying about it.[/QUOTE] pass_warehouse jump pads and launch pads are really fun, and I think it's a simple brush. One map that would benefit from jump pads is blockfort, soldier has such a huge advantage on that map due to it being very vertical.

i just noticed this at the end of the pistol reload animation for the scout, the pistol awkwardly moves upwards (only the pistol, not the hands) so it's not facing down and you can see it clip a bit now it does this in live tf2, but the actual hands are moving upwards along with the pistol not just the weapon and it's also pretty much instant. not sure if it's hard or not, but we could just copy the hand reload animations from live tf2 and it would probably be fixed basically: pistol reload is kinda messed up, the pistol shifts upwards at the end instead of the actual hands doing it

Been working alot on esp_office for the past week. The new room is basically a mess hall or cafeteria. All the chairs have no collision, and there are player clips where they need to be.

Looks incredible. Can't wait to play it. By the way, you could probably use the shelf model from [URL="http://www.tomrausch.com/rickandmorty"]this[/URL] pack if you asked instead of creating it from brushes.

Yesterday I posted a proof of concept for a colorblind mode on the official forums [URL="http://tf2classic.com/forums/discussion/147/suggestion-proof-of-concept-for-colorblind-mode#latest"]here[/URL]. I'm not gonna take up the entire page by copying and pasting my post here, but this picture sums up the concept. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/4Nmhhww.png[/IMG] I applied a filter showing what someone with the most common type of colorblindness would see, but adding a unique pattern to each uniform would let someone differentiate the teams no matter what type they have. I'm not gonna pretend like I know how to make good textures but if anyone is interested in a skin pack for this I could try and make one.

A color blind mode where teammates are always white, and everyone else is black regardless of team, seems like the most simple solution.

[QUOTE='[Brn];48983323']You need it for Spy disguises...[/QUOTE] In 4 team modes, you can only disguise as one of the enemy teams. There are 4 to choose from. If they disguise for the team you're on, then they're white. If they don't then they are colored black.

Someone suggested for the colorblind mode to made the classes with their team coat of arms. your thoughts on this?

It is fine but he will probably put it in a custom server. Anyway about the colorblind mode suggestion. The RED BLU YLW AND GRN team shapes on the classes or something else? Would the Super shotgun for the Heavy be a good idea? Also about the leadpipe for the Heavy, if we use the Heavy models for the stock reskins for the Lead pipe as well as a increased range similar to the Eyelander, would that work? Or is it stupid. Also how do you tag things? I want to help when there is a voting event on some ideas.

What i'm wondering is how the sfm for the Tf2C video is coming along for "Meet the Merc" If i mist a post about how its coming then my bad.

[QUOTE=goatking732;48987562]What i'm wondering is how the sfm for the Tf2C video is coming along for "Meet the Merc" If i mist a post about how its coming then my bad.[/QUOTE] Someone earlier said it's still in the works, no worries.

[QUOTE=SuperEmoBros;48986380]CTF, Control Point, and KOTH wouldn't work right with this solution[/QUOTE] Honestly no gamemode would work right. If you only know if a player is an enemy or not you lack some vital information in most situations, for example in a 2 vs 1 scenario where there are 2 enemy soldiers, knowing that they actually are on different teams will make you act in a completely different way.

A while back someone suggested making one team zombies and another robots in colorblind mode. It's not a brilliant idea, but it's not horrible. There isn't going to be a perfect solution, a game so heavily engineered around its visual design is going to have issues for the visually impaired no matter what.

[QUOTE=_Pai;48989762]Polygons. Something like this: [t]http://cdn0.sbnation.com/polygon/features/lodz/superhot_scr3.jpg[/t][/QUOTE] Possibly. The model changing is actually better because skins are just 2D and could be difficult to notice, while models replace the whole thing which is easily differentiable. The other team could be Aliens, Polygons or anything in that matter.

Will overpowered be made just in time for Halloween, or will it be delayed because the Henchman model isn't finished yet?

[QUOTE=OneFourth;48990411]not yet. we've tried everything we can to get in contact and get a response. its a little concerning[/QUOTE]Isn't the TF2 team kind of merged into the CS:GO team these days? I know some of the CS:GO guys have gone to Romania to watch DreamHack Open Cluj-Napoca and talk with the players there, that probably isn't helping with the whole hair-on-fire thing.

[QUOTE=Druidlyclean;48990422]Will overpowered be made just in time for Halloween, or will it be delayed because the Henchman model isn't finished yet?[/QUOTE] He have not even started working on it yet. We would like to get deathmatch done before we move on to other stuff.
