Looks WAY better

The new texture on the club looks better. The shading gives it more character and definition than it had before. As far as the tribal design goes, I liked the coloring on the one at the bottom of the left side of your color test.

Yeah, the new shading looks much better.

I agree!

thanks for the responses.

do you guys want me to put a different design on the side still? i kinda feel like it doesn't really need it anymore.

I don't think it needs a tribal design anymore with the nice brushwork and scratches and coloring you've done.

new texture in-game

excellent! I'd call it finished.

Go in GCFScape
open the team fortress materials gcf
tf/materials/HUD/
look for d_images.vtf and dneg_images.vtf
open d_images.vtf with VTFEdit
in VTFEdit, click on the view tab -> channel ->RGB (make sure mask isnt enabled)
copy the RGB chanel and paste it on photoshop on a layer
in VTFEdit, click on the view tab -> channel -> A
copy the A chanel and paste it on photoshop on the alpha layer
now you create you death icon in black and white on the alpha layer and the color is on the RBG layer. just replace your drawing on the one your weapon replaces, ex: sniper death icons.

Once you're done, save it as a TGA, 32 bits

open it with VTFEdit, click on view-> mask to see if the alpha is there.
Save it as d_images.vtf in your tf folder
tf/materials/HUD/d_images.vtf

do the same for dneg_images.vtf

The scratches look out of place to be honest. Otherwise looks good though.

thanks a lot. all i really need to know was where the file with all the kill icons was located, and i could have figured it out from their. but this makes it super easy on my part. thanks

lulz i also made an apple hat for the sniper some time ago.

edit:

Nice hat. Looks like the apple in the Mac TF2 launch trailer.

gotta finish up the bow, this is what it looks like right now.

Love the bow and arrow, man.

thanks a lot. it looks a bit different from the last picture i posted. mostly i just increased the edge highlighting, and put a texture on the cloth part, instead of it just being a base color.
