| | | | |
| − | Yeah, don't wanna mess the page up but the retired hats may need to be removed. Also there are some points below this that needs to be checked if they are ready.

| − | : Two things. 1 Don't remove talk page posts like that. 2nd, The table shows items that CAN have an unusual effect. Not what can be uncrated in unusual. (Well technically it is still) But its just a list of what can have a particle attached to it. [[User:Ashes|Ashes]] 15:06, 6 April 2013 (PDT)

| − | == Gifs ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | I think it'd be a good idea to replace the current example screenshots with .gif's, simply because they can so much better demonstrate how these particle effects actually look like in-game. Alternatively, there could also be a YouTube demonstration video, in a similar manner as weapons, but that's just an idea. - [[User:Selbi|Selbi]] 15:38, 26 October 2011 (PDT)

| |
| − | :::That was my idea, one video to demonstrate all particle effects. YouTube has the ability to link to a specific point in the timeline of a video, so there could be links for each effect on the Wiki page. Also yeah, .gif's maybe are a bad idea, but I was more focusing on the question of ''should there be a demonstration video for unusual effects'' anyway. - [[User:Selbi|Selbi]] 07:06, 27 October 2011 (PDT)
| |
| − | ::::I don't think a video is really needed for this, the images are all that's really needed. It's a much better option for the user to use itemtest instead, as that way they can see what the effect looks like personally, and specify the hat to attach to. ~ '''[[User:Ath|Ath]]''' ([[User_talk:Ath|talk]]) 10:44, 27 October 2011 (PDT)

| − | == Change the example? ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | I noticed the example of an unusual hat features the [[Napper's Respite]], but all the images on the page featuring unusual effects has the Pyro wearing the [[Brigade Helm]]. Could I change the example to feature the Brigade Helm just so the whole page features the same example hat?

| |
| − | : They most likely would just clip. Don't see why it matters really. [[User:Ashes|Ashes]] ([[User talk:Ashes|talk]]) 21:09, 7 July 2013 (PDT)
| |
| − | :: I am using my abilities of necroing to revive this! But anyways to be honest, nothing special actually happens, apart from that the items stack in color. I know this by my two Scout unusuals, my Blizzardy Storm Bonk Boy and my orbiting fire Bombing Run. Depending on the type of the unusual effect, it might clip, it might not. It does not clip for me though. [[User:Altair|Altair]] ([[User talk:Altair|talk]]) 02:30, 9 September 2013 (PDT)

| − | | |
| − | == Unusual Offset ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | A while ago TF2 gave players the ability to adjust the offset for unusual/particle effects on certain hats and miscs. Should it be added how this affects the particle/item? It could be useful to note; I'd probably do it but as of right now I have no unusuals and the only hat I have that has this option the the World Traveler's, in which the option doesn't seem to do anything, so I really can't do a thing about this. [[User:Shnowshner200|Shnowshner]] ([[User talk:Shnowshner200|talk]]) 08:44, 15 July 2013 (PDT)
| |
| − | : Perhaps a small note about it. Some people may not know how to do it but we'll see. [[User:Ashes|Ashes]] ([[User talk:Ashes|talk]]) 11:03, 15 July 2013 (PDT)
| |
| − | :: Probably adding two pictures or a video to show the difference would do it, so people can see how it changes/moves the effect. Also may be a good idea to have that information on the Particle Effects page instead of this one, considering that the World Travelers has the option to do so, yet is impossible to be obtained in unusual quality. --[[User:Shnowshner200|Shnowshner]] ([[User talk:Shnowshner200|talk]]) 18:17, 8 August 2013 (PDT)
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Total number ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | So, simple problem, the top of the page states that there are 133 items with unusual effects; I count 226 registered as existing on backpack.tf, ignoring the Cheater's Lament, the Ebenezer and Haunted Scrap, but counting the Headtaker. May not be the most reliable resource, but either way, 133 is pretty clearly wrong, since the list at the bottom of the page contains 225 unique items (discounting Team Captain and Private Eye repeats, counting the Headtaker). The counts are almost the same, I may have missed one here, since the arrangement isn't as easy to count. I'd suggest that 226 is probably the correct number, but would like someone else to verify before an edit. [[User:Buck Rampant|Buck Rampant]] ([[User talk:Buck Rampant|talk]]) 20:53, 10 August 2013 (PDT)
| |
| − | : You bring a good point. The # of total effects may have been updated. However the # of items that can have effects on them was never updated. (The count, not the template). Normally I would update it but it becomes a hassle to figure out, What can have an effect and what doesn't. So if you want, Get a total count then either edit it yourself or post it here. Also see if there are any missing hats on the template. [[User:Ashes|Ashes]] ([[User talk:Ashes|talk]]) 20:58, 10 August 2013 (PDT)

| |
| − | :::Much better, but it still doesn't line up perfectly with the number of items displayed. I'll go ahead and check versus the backpack.tf cosmetics list for any discrepancies in the next day or so.
