I'm working on my first model for TF2, a misc and/or weapon for the pyro, which I have dubbed "The Military Grade."

Based on this:

This is just a proof of concept model I threw together real fast, I'm going to redo a lot of it later on.

Before I get into that, I want to make sure it works. Can anyone point me to a really straightforward tutorial to get this working in item test? Most of what I've found are really good, but I can't seem to follow them for the life of me.

Nobody in WW2 particularly wanted to be a person using a flamethrower because they were such volatile things that also made you a VIP target. But it would be interesting having a flamethrower that did fuck all DPS but couldn't be put out unless with a health pack or water. Like sticky flames or something like how a flamethrower actually works.

That's what i thought when i saw this item.

Too many of the alt's have been upgrades in base DPS as a resort to allow the pyro to deal more killing blows, i'd like to see a gun that swings the other way, that is a serious harass weapon.

A flamethrower that can't be put out using health kits or mediguns would be interesting. Right now health packs and mediguns can put out fire but can't stop bleeding, when there's no good reason for it not to be the other way around, especially given how many new ways of putting out fire have been introduced since the game launched.

the introduced inconsistency of fire mechanic would make such a flamethrower somewhat less interesting

I want a flamethrower that does shit damage but causes bleeding and ignites enemies at the same time

I wish afterburn was as useful as it was back in 2008. I miss those days when pyro was my main class.

 

[Prestige]

dont get why valve decided to add all these anti-cloak and anti-afterburn (bleed, jarate, mad milk, etc..) weapons. then they are gonna introduce some "super afterburn" weapon like mangy said and then new weapons that counter it and so on.

It's a well known phenomena in games called power creep.

 

[Nytillion]

Indeed it is. I can still manage to be a good pyro, though. I started learning how to set things on fire like a boss when I spontaneously started getting a ton of pyro hats and miscs from my crafting/drops. Figured I'd learn how to play my classiest class.

So yeah. Quickly redid some things this morning. I mostly adjusted the scale of everything.

Before I go about doing anything else, is there any feedback or ideas I can get on this?

 

[The Asylum]

Yes: It needs textures.

lol jk, i think it looks good

Aaaaaaand it was the Scottish Resistance all along! How disappointing. That's what we get for wanting new bomb guns for Demoknight.

Wow what a terrible skybox, 2/10 would not play

Progress! First texture run through of it.

Again, feedback and ideas are very welcome.

And also, if anyone can tell me how or point me towards a good tutorial on how to implement it into the game, and set it to the backpack bodygroup?
