3d models of cosmetics

Maybe doing 3d images of cosmetic items would be a good idea. Slimyboi500 (talk) 18:22, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

 Nope, discussed before. Too much effort, way too many cosmetics, too many technical issues such as certain parts of the cosmetic being invisible. We'll consider doing taunts, however.

If we do taunts, then maybe we can make them GIFs to show what they look like. ----Slimyboi500 (talk) 18:28, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

That's what the demonstrations are for. We can't have GIFs on 3D models as they're not actually 3D models, but rather just a bunch of images that it cycles between.

3d models of buildings

I think that adding 3d images of Sentries, Dispensers, and Teleporters would be a good idea.

Could work, but there is no infobox for buildings.
| s | GrampaSwood (talk) (contribs) 18:39, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

Yea, we don't just want to "leave them out in the open." I'd say we also add an infobox for the buildings as well.

----Slimyboi500 (talk) 18:44, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

Easier said than done, plus it would only really be the 3D model viewer. It might look awkward.

Recompiled Model Link

Ace here, looking to update all dead and working links to not be redirects although bit hard since all of them does so, but managed to do this: Link Acceptable? Acceonit (talk) 07:17, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

It's not necessary to replace dead ones, simply remove them. Working links are just fine. Please don't use Discord links to host anything as they expire after a while.

3d models of bosses

I feel like we should add 3d models of Halloween bosses, since:

1. They are in an infobox
2. They could use a 3d model

I'm all in for it, what do you say? :D

Like I said, the infobox would need to be edited for that. Before we start doing any non-weapon renders some stuff needs to be figured out first.
| s | GrampaSwood (talk) (contribs) 18:29, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

Is it ok to just copy-and-paste the code on other templates?

----Slimyboi500 Talk Contribs Steam 18:48, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

Infoboxes are much more complicated than most other templates, copy-pasting won't always work. I would leave it to more experienced users.

3d models of robots

We have been discussing this topic a little bit on the IRC, and everyone seems to agree. We must need robot 3d images, and I already created one for the Tank Robot. Please say yes!
----Slimyboi500 Talk Contribs Steam 19:40, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

The issue is more of which ones we're going to create. The idea itself is good and can pass, but the specifics of which robots we're going to create (obviously default and romevision ones). Are we going to add ones with different cosmetics? Are we going to add bosses? Are we going to add Gatebot variants? Are we going to add ÜberCharged versions? Are we going to add the unused RED textures?
| s | GrampaSwood (talk) (contribs) 19:44, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Here's what I'm thinking:

• Have a separate infobox template
• Have the variants robots be:
  • Normal
  • Romevision
  • Ubercharged
  • Ubercharged Romevision
• All variants must be BLU
• The Tank's final wave skin will be included, but not the variants of it breaking, because it will take up too much space.

----Slimyboi500 Talk Contribs Steam 19:53, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

No point in a separate infobox, that would take up even more space and it defeats the whole point.
| s | GrampaSwood (talk) (contribs) 19:55, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

The infobox that the robots already use ({{Class infobox}}) does not have the right views. The point would be that the Robot infobox would be less complicated.
