List of finished weapons?

How about you make a list below the required weapons list for the weapons, that have been completed? Freakie 08:21, 7 September 2011 (PDT)

Well there's a list over here but I guess I could add them in later. —Moussekateer·talk 08:30, 7 September 2011 (PDT)

Why not add the list at some point and then list to the list article itself as well? Freakie 08:59, 7 September 2011 (PDT)

Portal 2 studiomdl

If you have it, use it. It's much faster and more stable than the ep1 studiomdl. It's located in /common/portal 2/bin, so your studiocompiler should look like this. i-ghost 03:32, 2 October 2011 (PDT)

Instead of {{c|info}}...

I think instead of showing the  Info icon with rollover popup text, it should show "Click and drag to rotate the image. More info." above the image, as to be more clear.-Rocket Ship BBQ 14:10, 2 October 2011 (PDT)

I agree. Dragonsbrethren 17:38, 2 October 2011 (PDT)

 Done  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 17:44, 2 October 2011 (PDT)

I question the need for this at all. It's likely to confuse those who are new to the Wiki, and requires a lot of foreknowledge and setting up anyway so anyone who has the required software and such to use it will know how to already. I know it's handy to point out which items are ready for the 3D viewer but once they're all done it won't be necessary to remind people on every single page. » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 16:47, 4 October 2011 (PDT)

The text will be replaced by a more appropriate icon soon. —Moussekateer·talk 16:57, 4 October 2011 (PDT)

Zoom?

Perhaps, clicking on the image should lead to either a larger, rotatable image, or a static image, like the old images. I find it frustrating being forced to look at the weapon at that size. -Rocket Ship BBQ 15:37, 9 October 2011 (PDT)

I'm afraid the images wouldn't look that great larger, because they're jpegs generated for that size. The old static weapon images will be added to the galleries when I can get around to it... —Moussekateer·talk 15:40, 9 October 2011 (PDT)

Requirements

What are the exact requirements for viewing the finished immages? The computers in the lab I moniter seemingly meet and fail the requirements at random. Eligitine 08:39, 13 October 2011 (PDT)

You just need a modern browser with javascript enabled. If it fails the infobox should fall back to a static image. —Moussekateer·talk 10:56, 13 October 2011 (PDT)

Sound

Would it be possible to add a weapon sound feature in the future? Rolandius 06:11, 15 October 2011 (PDT)

As in the various sounds that the weapon can make? This was discussed in-depth a while ago, we came to the consensus that:

• it was unnecessary as the weapon demonstration offers the same functionality
• the Wiki is not a database or a clone of the GCFs which are available to every TF2 player. We filter information so only that which is 'useful' is on the wiki.

This isn't the right place to discuss it at any rate. i-ghost 06:19, 15 October 2011 (PDT)

3D Hat Project

I just looked at the first hat finished for the 3D Models project, and I have to say that I'm not really sure this is how it should be done. The hat alone doesn't give you a good idea of how it would look on the Heavy. Considering that hats are purely cosmetic, an accurate visual example of how it looks in-game is pretty important.

Before the project goes forward any further, I think that hats and misc items should be shown in these 3D boxes as they appear in-game; on the characters. I'm not sure how much extra work it would take to do this, but seeing as the wiki has always put quality before ease I think it should at the very least be considered. FlotsamX 01:33, 16 October 2011 (PDT)

Oh I agree, the 3D hats won't be replacing the current 2D images. We have something else in mind. —Moussekateer·talk 12:40, 17 October 2011 (PDT)

Curiosity killed the cat: What is that "something else"? :P —Rocket Ship BBQ talk • contribs 19:18, 17 October 2011 (PDT)

A hat painting studio of sorts, the exact format of which hasn't been determined yet. —Moussekateer·talk 19:24, 17 October 2011 (PDT)

Please try to download the script ready python folder linked on the project page at the top. Some people have been having the same issue you described. Extract the Python folder somewhere and run the script as so:

C:\<patchtopythonfolder>\python automatebeta.py —Moussekateer·talk 12:40, 17 October 2011 (PDT)

Alright, that solved the problem, but my final render came out pretty rough. Any ideas what would cause the distortion? http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/File:User_Aubron_Test_3D.jpg Aubron 14:05, 17 October 2011 (PDT)

If the hat doesn't look like that in HLMV then it's probably the script being too fast for your computer. Look for the lines mouse.sleep(0.1) in the script and change that number to a larger value. —Moussekateer·talk 14:20, 17 October 2011 (PDT)

The hat doesn't look like that, but it has a jigglebone that jiggles when the file is opened, something I thought might be the problem. Is there any way to disable that? Thanks for all the help. Aubron 14:58, 17 October 2011 (PDT)

I guess it's possible to open the model in a 3D modelling program, remove the bone, remove everything related to it in the QC, recompile, and shoot the 3D pics. Or what Mousse said below.  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 15:02, 17 October 2011 (PDT)

Ah then that would be the problem. As you'll notice the model doesn't vertical/horizontal rotate around the center of the hat. You should read the guide on recompiling the models so that they're centered on the project page. One sideeffect of recompiling them is that the jigglebones will be removed. —Moussekateer·talk 15:03, 17 October 2011 (PDT)
