:siren: THIS THREAD TITLE IS NOT RACIST, DON'T MAKE JOKES ABOUT IT :siren:
Here is a thread where we can talk about skins for Team Fortress 2.
Where Can I Get Skins?
www.fpsbanana.com has a lot of great skins for a lot of games.
I'm not a huge fan of skins my self, I do use them on Counter-Strike: Source a lot, though. The only thing I have for tf2 is a skin for all models that gives them a nicer shine in light:
Don't ask why the Flamethrower is missing, I Print Screened it because I didn't feel like converting the tga.
In this thread you can:
Bash a Skin.
Show off a skin.
Talk about a skin.
And, Praise a Skin.

Why is the pyro covered in lube?

Has anyone skinned the samvich into a baby yet?

This sounds absolutely amazingCowaiscool posted:

How hard is it to reskin something, and what are the tools you need to do it? Also, what's the difference between a model and a skin?
-
Now that's an idea..
Edit:
model = new model (guitar for axe) skin = new texture (golden minigun)Achilles123 posted:

A model is when you want a baby to replace the Sandvich. A skin is when you make the Sandvich's ham look like something that expired a week ago.Achilles123 posted:

I don't like skinning TF2 really. I prefer the game the way it is.
Counterstrike Source on the other hand..

I only have some beta skins. It's hard to find any good skins that don't ruin the feel of the game.

I usually only use my BLU pickup truck fix and the bloody melee weapons for the Bonesaw and the Fire Axe.Twipsters posted:

I usually have two major mods installed: Beta-Style Mode and Low Violence Mode.
The first is a compilation I made and keep in a single folder that I just copy+paste into the tf folder whenever I feel like having the style. It pretty much takes all the beta-style skins from FPSB and throws them on, which looks pretty kickin' since I'm a huge sucker for content from a game's development stages. My Steam Favorites list consists only of sv_pure 0 servers I've found so that I can also install the weapon mods that give Medic the Nailgun and Syringe, and Spy the Tranquilizer. Looks snazzy and old-style while still being the great, updated game it is. Besides, it actually makes the game make a little bit more sense, because when players gib, all the default gibs are still using details from beta versions of the characters. (lazy, lazy Valve)
Low Violence transforms my game into the German version, which I personally think is cooler than the default version. I got the content from a GCF I swiped off of a torrent, since it was the only way to get the full low violence. The gib packs that people have posted elsewhere do just that: add the funny gibs, not modify the blood effects as well. I honestly prefer the censored blood effects, but this is because of the more recent modifications they made to the censored version. The original made it nearly impossible to determine if your enemy received a bullet impact, because no blood whatsoever appeared anywhere. This made spy-checking harder, so they fixed it up: blood has been replaced with bright yellow-green bits of "stuff" (not quite liquid-shaped sprites) that particle effect out from bullet hits, and surfaces around the shot person get a dark grey "ash" on the wall. The main point is the bright particles, which is actually easier to notice than red blood. More perks of the updated low violence mode include official Valve versions of the bloodless Ubersaw and Axtinguisher, which I prefer over the dorky bloody ones. The bloody ones really don't fit the style, in my opinion.
I've also recently fallen prey to modifying only my weapons, but too many weapon mods make the game just lose its style during combat. I like it if I can make them small and modest, like changing the colors of a few or getting some high-res versions. (90sk's stuff is the work of gods; too bad it causes my game to crash on the high settings I play it on :() Mainly though, since the Heavy update I've just left the game alone for a while. After using lots of skins for so long, the game feels like it has a fresh, new look to it, which is all I'm really looking for when I throw skins on it anyway.

Anyone else use the Redneck shotgun skin?

Soviet boxing gloves
Spiral flaregun
Those skins are the only ones I use, I like how the default skins look.
I used to use a silenced revolver with sound, but it sounded weird on sv_pure servers, so I removed it.
I would really like that low-violence thing though, care to upload?
-
Are skins safe to install? Beause I found one that makes the kritzkrieg look good but I don't want it to screw anything up.
-
Yeah, "regular" skins will neither overwrite existing files nor cause problems with VAC. They just won't work on servers which have sv_pure set to 1.Lucinice posted:

It's a shame, I only go on servers that I have on Favorite, 7 out of 8 of them have sv_pure on.

I was hunting through the SDK model viewer for beta stuff and found that tranquilizer, and while he didn't mark it as "beta-style", it appears he skinned it just like the Meet the Team videos, so it's the Spy's beta gun and I think it personally looks cool.Daimao posted:
I would, but I don't know if that would be warez or not. Seems there's no problem with all the "funny gibs packs" on FPSB which are basically just copy + pastes, but I don't know if I can post it here. Mine is fixed, too: I found out that the original German version changes the textures from the regular body part gibs to solid white so that you can't see the blood even if a server forces it. I removed those so that sv_pure 2 servers still work. Most sv_pure 1 servers still let you see everything because the texture for the funny gibs is actually inside the regular English GCF. You just see red blood with them as well in that mode mixed with the bright yellow-green stuff.mynames2long posted:
So, if somebody can confirm if that would be considered "warez" or not, please tell me.
-
I don't think it would be warez, all they are are just skins.

I'd like to skin my TF2, but I always think of how much money and time they must have spent working on that design.
I have done it to my CSS. I never hear anyone saying 'I like the art direction they took with Counter-Strike.'

I never liked that pack, it looks like all they did for aperture was use the existing colors and slap a white logo on them.cornndog posted:

Server that I play on is Pure.
So I'm SOL in the the area of anything custom.
