Talk:Flip-Flops

Death with Team Spirit

Hey :) I recently got a pair of Flip-Flops that I painted with Team Spirit. After the September 15, 2011 patch, however, every time I play on BLU and die, my Flip-Flops show the wrong color, as you can see here: [1]. Anyone else having the same problem? -- Jokerine 14:22, 19 September 2011 (PDT)

This is possible. Many hats have the same problem. It's not a stretch to see miscellaneous items having this issue as well. Unfortunately I don't have a pair of Flip-Flops myself to confirm this. Fyahweather 16:16, 19 September 2011 (PDT)

It's not a general misc item problem, as team colored accessories drop the proper color. Balladofwindfishes 16:19, 19 September 2011 (PDT)

But this fellow's miscellaneous was painted with Team Spirit. Fyahweather 16:24, 19 September 2011 (PDT)

That's what I mean. The accessories are normally green. I've spectated a lot of people with TS painted socks and they were the proper color on death. Balladofwindfishes 17:27, 19 September 2011 (PDT)

So, would that mean that this problem happens only to the Flip-flops? That's odd. Unfortunately, I have nobody else to compare this issue with... I sent a bug report a few days ago, but I doubt they will get back to me. -- Jokerine 18:26, 19 September 2011 (PDT)

There aren't a lot of paintable misc items (that also remain visible on the ragdoll) to easily test to see if it applies to others. I imagine there aren't many people with a TS fancy dress uniform or sign of the wolf's school. I don't know how accurate itemtest is for things like this, but that could be used.

Might be a bug with items that don't fall off on death. I saw a Pyro wearing a Balaclavas are Forever painted Pyromancer's mask, and it turned RED when the Pyro died (the mask does not fall off the player). Balladofwindfishes 13:50, 25 September 2011 (PDT)

Two unpainted variants?

I was looking at the paint colors section of the page and I noticed that there is an unpainted image for both Red and Blu, even though it appears that the Flip-Flops don't change color when unpainted. Can someone tell me if the change is subtle or if I'm right here, but most other pages don't have two unpainted images when a cosmetic doesn't change based on teams. I just thought someone who knows how to do it could remove the Blu team's unpainted image to preserve consistency with the rest of the site and to save space.

Yeah, there's no reason to have both of these, the model isn't even team coloured. I'll go deal with it now. --Omolong (talk) 18:32, 28 July 2014 (PDT)
