Any thoughts or suggestions for tweaks would be appreciated (Although not shown, I did improve the view model for the scattergun).
All the textures have been improved.
One more thing - I need name suggestions for each item and the pack as a whole.
Thanks
I suggest naming the set portions of the scout motto. The scout motto is "A scout is Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obiedient, Cheerful, Brave, Clean, and Reverent."
You could name the gun "Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly"
and the stick could be "Courteous, Kind, Obiedient, Cheerful"
and the hat or misc could be "Brave, Clean, and Reverent."
So when you put all the items on the names list the scout motto.
you need to stylise it more man, it looks like a COD conversion
Thanks for the heads up man. I enjoy the crits I've been getting to work this out. Will try to add something features from other guns to make feel more at home.
Thought I'd try my hand at some TF2 modelling even though a puny human like me finds getting anything into source the most difficult thing in the world!
Decided I'd try to get some weapons in game, just as personal skins mostly; might contribute if I ever get them looking good
@Cooljay, Boyso was just trying to help you, yes technically the m16a1 is in the right time frame, but i do agree it doesn't fit the style wit the current model, and if you submitted the same one you had in the video 1 page back, i would say that it was incomplete, as far as modeling and texturing goes too.
Which seems to be a problem with you, you kick things out before there ready, on your next project work on it till it is too the quality of other people work on here or greater regardless of the time it takes, really spend a month on something and learn as much as possible and make it look like something that someone would actually want to hire you to build.
Nobody said to stop doing TF2 items. What I tried to say and what Passerby added is (like I said in another one of threads) : You're going too fast. I understand you made that model for the script. Still an artist should never release a model they are not happy with. It will only weight you down your submission and yourself when you will try applying for a job.
Still, from the video, it shows your script works correctly, so kudos on this!

I am not stopping because someone said so. I just need to take a break to work on other things. Although seeing as the script works it opens a whole new bag of stuff for people to work on. Which is what impresses me of what the justice was meant to do of it. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RIDLIOHW
Just add this by making a script folder in your mod folder
However I will consider getting an AR-10 next though, when I find the time.
Easy enough to do, aside from the fact that the paint goes shooting off pyro's face when he dies.
Try making the paint splotches a separate misc. item. Maybe put more splotches on the suit as well. AFAIK misc. items stay attached to the ragdoll on death.
Personally , disregarding the style of your gun, I think is is both admirable and valuable that you have being toying with the scripting. both for yourself and for this community..sooner or later someone is gonna need scripting help.
keep going with it.

It's something that gives a more clear option for Valve. Sometimes Valve doesn't know what people want to do with their submission, so they just make it a reskin. If anyone needs a scripting help I'm all for it on my end.
Not sure what to do to make it look more like some sort of a heavy tool and less like a weird gun.
edit: Team colored picture
Hmm, I do believe that could very well be a Nail or Rivet gun. To be honest, I feel the original color scheme fit the weapon better. The model looks amazing, by the way.
Are you, perhaps, looking for any more Engineer weapon/adornment ideas? I've had an idea for an auto-mechanic Engineer that I was trying to model but I ran into difficulty when I realized I had no idea how to model the misc. item I had planned on (a replacement for the Engy's overalls).
But if you're not looking for ideas (I love your models, by the way!), I understand and I'll just have to keep up my Blender practice. If so, if you could give me some tips on modelling the misc, it would be greatly appreciated
You guys always fight over if the item was created in the right time period way too much, ANYTHING can fit into TF2 as long as its executed well. TF2 is defined by an execution of a STYLE not a specific time period.
Having said that, Cooljay, while I think a M16A1 could totally work in TF2, your model needs a lot more work. However I feel that it would benefit you most if you just moved on and practised more with other items. You're getting better!

Thank you for the kind words. I could find the ever so limited time to put more effort in my work though.
Also you're point is pretty valid about the style thing due to it claiming that the Australians have advanced technology in TF2 Storyline, and discovering the internet.
Cooljay I was actually talking about the silenced pistol, I know your model is only a place holder the burst fire wasn't bad but far too powerful and too many shots in my opinion, I'd suggest just 3 shots fired slightly slower than yours were and make it so.. 2-3? bursts kill most classes
I'll start work on a model of my own and perhaps we could come up with some stuff as a collaboration of assault rifles :P
EDIT: I'm also a nazi when it comes to fitting in with the style so if these don't work then I'm simply not submitting them or being a part of them, I can however see an assault rifle working if done right

I would take Laro's advice to heart on this one. I know i did. Besides, you can always go back and remake your old models when you are better at it.
Just a small update, I've had sparse time to work on the 2 packs I'm currently working on, but I did get a farily solid base texture for my new wrench:
I'm calling it he the Workman's Compensator.
I just need to add a small hole in the handle.
Any crits? I'm noty sure about the colors, any suggestions would be great.
Thanks,
they should ask you for payment info 4-5 days after it gets in. if im not mistaken there have been some pretty old items that were not implemented way after submission so if isn't in game right away there is still hope :P
I'm sorry, but you have no argument. In fact Laro laro put it perfectly on the last page.
"You guys always fight over if the item was created in the right time period way too much, ANYTHING can fit into TF2 as long as its executed well. TF2 is defined by an execution of a STYLE not a specific time period."
If you don't see the consistent "style" he is speaking of, I don't know how to help you.
Edit: I am tired of people using this excuse to justify their model that either doesn't fit in the style or doesn't make any sense what so ever. Just because the line of "what fits into TF2" appears to have been slightly blurred doesn't mean that someone's high poly scoped AK47 has any place in the game.

I decided to go ahead and release Radigan already and add the soundpack later.
It can be downloaded here.
Enjoy

You should use a different base, and exagerate details and proportions.

Thought I'd go with a cowboy theme.
Look cowboy'y enough?
Actually no it isn't TF2 Takes place in 1968, long after the M16A1 was made
TF2 has the cartonny-kiddy look to all the props.
Your prop should reflect it more.
I'm not saying there shouldnt be one. Just sayin' what I see doesn't fit in the game.
Well after how many said views or interest in it. It seems rather irrelevant in that concern if people like the idea of it.
I believe it doesn't fit in the game is just the scripting needs more work is all
Submit it. Now.
I don't care. I was saying my view on it.
Good luck getting it in the game.
Which seems to be a problem with you, you kick things out before there ready, on your next project work on it till it is too the quality of other people work on here or greater regardless of the time it takes, really spend a month on something and learn as much as possible and make it look like something that someone would actually want to hire you to build.
Organic modeling is still what I'm more focused for.
Won't be another while until I decide to make another TF2 Item again.
Still, from the video, it shows your script works correctly, so kudos on this!

M16A1 was made in 1957, but wasn't considered until 1967 due to it being similar to an AR-15
EDIT:
Sorry misread that

added whatever those things are called (alligator something?) that are on the default flamethrower's straps. as always c&c welcome
edit: sideshot ingame
pleasent suprise starting tf2 and seeing i had a pipboy waiting for me
Now just imagine if you could paint those white.
and give him DDD boobs.

Try to not take notice of the mediocrity of the promo. Probably going to submit sometime tomorrow.
Going to be my first submission.

added a valve and the hose now attaches to something

figured out how to render ao
edit: also as far as the debate about style
I'm sorry, but you have no argument. In fact Laro laro put it perfectly on the last page.
