TF2 Screenies?

[Will T.]

I've confirmed that not all Unusual effects are visible using the world models - my Orbiting Fire Exquisite Rack does not render its floating fire sprite while in the world-model mode, even when taunting. Switching to normal first-person brought it back when taunting.

So I guess it's just the inconvenient effects that are rendered when using this mode?

Also, shoulder-mounted Miscs look rather strange. The Bird-Man of Aberdeen is a floating head on my left in which I can see all the back-faces of the model, which looks hideous.

My bubbling heavy hat doesn't show nearly as bad as my smoky soldier hat. When the minigun is out, the bubbles are only visible if i'm looking straight up. The bubbles are a lot more apparent with the sandvich or fists out though. It may have more to do with character model/weapon positioning than anything, though the brighter effects likely would be vision obscuring. I bet Sunbeams, Plasma, Steaming, and Burning are really difficult to see through.

I kind of want to look into this, but I can't seem to get unusual effects to work on itemtest.

[Will T.]

Yeah, Valve broke Itemtest's particle-testing portion a while ago and apparently hasn't realized it. That utility is so hopelessly broken that it's almost easier to test items with the old method of compiling them as reskins of existing items.

To avoid derailing the thread entirely, here are a few lovely screenies...

We all thought this Medic was alive at first, but further investigation led us to conclude otherwise.

Wow, that's a great shot.

This one reminded me of the Organon from the Deponia games.

I made a Power Glove joke on the actual image caption, but you're free to draw your own conclusions.

Maybe I should've stopped eating all those sandviches.

At the time I took this, the server was discussing how many cosmetics really do fit on other classes. This is a pretty good example of such.

2800 hours and I can't say I've ever seen a Medic score an assist on his own death; I didn't think that was possible until I had a Medic healing me while I backstabbed him. I always thought there wouldn't be an assist in that case.

[Daryldime]

yeah ask darklin about that! I get those quite often and they are sooooooooooooo rewarding!

Also I love how the Pirate language mod pokes fun at a ton of stuff in various item descriptions, even giving descriptions to items that didn't originally have them (I mentioned Dr's Dapper Topper, aptly translated to "A Distinctive Lack o' Cat," in the renames thread). Especially love the Pirate description for the Grizzled Veteran.
