Guess I should start my own thread for wip shots.

I finished the teleporter replacement trap.

You Tube

and now working on the neutrona wand *proton pack gun*





Once this is done I'll work on getting a pack replacement and slime blower for the kritzkrieg.

Also since the wrangler came out in the recent update might have to add the pke meter for the engy.

They're not exact replacements, I'm giving them some creative flair of my own and trying to match them with the tf2 universe.

thought I'd get to work on the pack some tonite. Don't think I'll include all the detail from the pack since it sits pretty huge on a back compared to the medics standard backpack. Just tackled the cyclotron part for now.

Hey dood, good to see your throwing some more stuff down in the tf2 style. can't wait to see these in game

ectoplasm!!! Good stuff man. Love you traps, They are right on mark.

Looks awesome so far! I really think there should be mods based around TF2 since there is this and TF2 1850's. Keep it up.

worked on the pack more this morning. might hop back onto the wand and see what else I can come up with.

You are a God among men. Seriously, really enjoying the progress of this one. Can you post a wire of the backpack in full?

it'll need to be optimized some.

Aside from needing some poly optimization i'm calling it done. Its roughly twice as many polys as the standard medic pack.



:edit: i posted too quick. 5 minutes of optimization and I got it down to 2600 tris. 1k over what the standard pack!!!

great idea, man!

I like the backpack, I can def see it in the game and not looking out of place.

optimized. shaved 800 polys...

BUSTIN MAKES ME FEEL GOOD!

-sorry

Pack looks great Oobersli, it'll be clearer witth texture but I think hyou've managed to fit the GB stuff into TF2 style quite well. I'd rather see classic proton zapper over the slimer but either way I'm frothing at the mouth for updates

Hahaha, amazing! I joke all day about the medic being Egon. This just gives me another reason to think I'm not crazy and he does look like Egon. It would be really great if Valve makes this a new item.

cool stuff man !

Awesome! I really like the pack. The gun is pretty sweet too but I'm a little tossed on the placement of the handles, not much you can really do about that, unless you re-do the medic animations.

Didn't they do some ghost catching or chasing thing last Halloween?

ya, i'm with ya vig about the handle placement. It sorta ruins the look of it and looks awkward, but at the same time I don't want to do custom animations. Don't have the time or patience to anything like that. Now if someone jumped up and volunteered to do such, I would gladly fit the wand to look more like the original ;).

I'd think if I submitted this it could be an awesome halloween update. I said the same thing about my uncle sam america hat being a perfect hat to release on the 4th of july and that didn't get in tho..

the ghost was just a random bot that would roam on paths and if it got you, you'd take like a stun penalty I think.

I think that'd be a great update for a Halloween release. If there were a few items for multiple classes then I think they'd consider it even more, as it wouldn't force everyone to play a class like they do whenever there's a class update for TF2

Nice progress, can't wait to see the other things you cook up.

I think valve always had a soft spot for ghostbusters.

This is looking great!
The tele replacement is fantastic and the animation looks solid.
I can't wait to see how you texture the backpack.

ok, got the uv's layed out, baked some AO and starting to lay down some base colors.

looks good Oobersli,

so, how is this pack split up then? an engie/medic combo?

so right now I'm thinking 2 items for the engy and the pack for the medic. If I can make the neutrona wand looks less stupid I might submit that with the pack. I may have to alter the design more to be more in comparison to the medigun shape.

i'm thinking the name of the pack will be something along the lines of "high-tech / medicine" or technology and medicine combined!!

changed the colors to be more like the proton pack. Dark and boring!!!

Just an update to the lights. think I'll go back and rework how I'm doing scratches.

Weird question but could you post a picture along side the textured medic? The only crit I can give is your scratches and lights have a really subtle look to them. But then again it is for TF2 so it's a bit tough to say what'd be better, but I'm saying you're on the right path here.
