Let's talk skins. - BHHammy - 11-12-2010

So who here skins their TF2?

I know that the explosion of the Mann. Co update and paint buckets makes it a trifle more pointless than it was before, but I still like doing it every once in a while. These days I keep more the the default skins for the previously-mentioned reason (plus, I hate my weapons disappearing), but every now and then I'll see one that I like and slap it in for a few weeks or so.

Example: I just saw this one yesterday for the L'etranger, I Honestly dislike the L'etranger's original design, so I thought this was a welcome change.

I'll probably use this for a little while.

What about you guys? What skins do you guys use (if any)? Any in particular that you like?

I have a UI icon replacement that I don't see because that element isn't active in the UI.

(Class shots replaced with animu crap, also Red blocks it anyways so...)

I have a couple for the spy:

http://www.fpsbanana.com/skins/85038
The Ambassador I thought was pretty gaudy, so I have a skin that turns it into a more common looking magnum revolver. Pretty cash.

http://www.fpsbanana.com/skins/88244
I'm a sucker for balisong tricks, so I got one that changes the spys draw animation to something a bit fancier.

That's all the skins I use. The only other thing I've modified is custom hit noises, crit noises, gave uber music, and made Heavy Breakfast Machine play when someone's using Natasha near me.
[/quote]
Really now?
Got a link to that, or what file did you modify?
[/quote]

I can link my hit noises to mediafire and some of my sound modifications, if that's what you mean.
[/quote]
Please do.
Do they act up on sv_pure servers, though?

Also, I REALLY wish Valve would add an option for you to check whether a server has it or not, without having to boot up the server and load your character models first. Unless there is one, and I've got a case of THE DUMB.

Re: Let's talk skins. - CaffeinePowered - 11-18-2010

I believe right now on Red the only thing not allow is a custom player-model skin, wepaons and sounds should work, if this is not the case please let me know so i can fix it.

This stems from a long undetectable hack there you could set the models to be a certain hue or red/blue and they could show up through walls, you can look up videos of this on youtube, they're pretty ridiculous. To my knowledge this has not been fixed, but if it was I'd turn pure off.

The below is based entirely on the skin and not a true "wall hack"

Man, that sucks. It's always a downer when creative skins and the like have to be disabled because of one jackass making things like that. It's as bad as people who change the spies decloak noise to ear raping decibels.

Re: Let's talk skins. - BHHammy - 11-18-2010

AUGH, THE GODDAMNED ROBOT UNICORN SONG.
Seriously, WHY does everyone like that song so much? It's so...ugh.

Anyway, everything else seems good, though I think I'm still gonna go with this for my ubercharge theme~
[flash=200,200]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5W2uL5OR5g[/flash]

WHY? Because Bang Shishigami is the one person who's just as much DAN as Dan Hibiki is.
So what do I do with these?

Oh, I wasn't sure if you knew who bang was. I made a version better and louder than that one. Here you go:

http://www.mediafire.com/?vrclym8ac8fouoa

And as for using them, it's pretty easy, just drag and drop them into the following folders:

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\yournamehere\team fortress 2\tf\sound\player

That's where you put crit noises, and your uber music. Keep in mind that in order for the uber sound to play, you gotta name it invulnerable_on.wav, I just kept the others with their names different so I could easily change them when I wanted to.

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\yournamehere\team fortress 2\tf\sound\weapons

That's the folder you wanna dump the minigun and natascha noises in if you're wanting them. They're named correctly right off the bat, so you shouldn't need to mess with them.

Now hit noises are a bit more complicated, nothing major mind you, just if you're wanting multiple ones, you gotta do some legwork.

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\cloudalucard\team fortress 2\tf\sound\ui

first of all, you need a base hit noise. Put a file you like there, and name it ding_a_ling.wav
That will be your hit noise for every class. Now if you're wanting multiple, you need to go to their config file, which is at the following:

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\yournamehere\team fortress 2\tf\cfg

And for every class you want a different hit noise for, you need to put this in their config file. My example here will be for Solider:

simply put this in the cfg file:
tf_dingaling_wav_override "\soliderding.wav"

And of course you can name it whatever, soliderding just reminds me what I have his set on and what have you.

Last step:
Put the sound file you want to use for him in the sound folder located at:

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\yournamehere\team fortress 2\tf\sound

If you run into any problems, give me a shout. Also: Nice Kyle Hyde Avatar.

Re: Let's talk skins. - BHHammy - 11-19-2010

Decided against the custom hit noises, but used everything else.

Not sure who Kyle Hyde is, sorry. I picked this .gif up......somewhere, like 2 or 3 years ago, never knew what it was from, but I always thought it was wonderful.

Decided, since I was actually posting on a FORUM again, I'd go through my ooooold creaky photobucket account and try to see what all i could dredge up from back in the day when I used to be active on a different one.

For example:

This will be the extent of the images I post in posts here, for now, however, as they do not pertain to the subject at hand.
