A diagonal jump pad I made for my map Ice Tower. It has a light that turns on/off based on the jump pad's delay to use. Also, there are particles when activated for maximum visual appeal. I added a trigger_stun as well so players can't move in the opposite direction mid-air and disrupt the...

I'm working on a halloween version of badlands (koth) for me and a friend, and I added the hammer_souls_rising particle about 460 units above the capture point, but for some reason they also appear off in the distance where the 3D skybox is placed outside the map. I tried raising the skybox in...

Video preview (YouTube) Nothing incredibly fancy or complex, just me experimenting with making a custom snowstorm effect. Specifically, I really wanted to make the snowflakes look natural in movement, using trail particles that appear as long, blurred lines (to crudely mimic motion blur)...

A friend made two custom particle effects for me but they won't show up in game and the console reports " Attempting to create unknown particle system 'pop_parent' But I'm pretty sure I didn't make a mistake setting them up. This is how my files in the tf folder look like This is how they look...

A simple circling 8-ball unusual effect, made for 72hr tf2jam 2017. ( The download doesn't really replace any existing effect, i uploaded the pcf and materials just because if anyone wants to check those. )

This is a long shot, but remember that fan who recreated Mann Manor in Minecraft for a Let's Play show? I've been working on turning that, in turn, into a functional TF2 map for them to hopefully play during their Halloween special. I did all the texture and model conversions myself, but one...
