Love this but would love HD version

There's a weird bug where the texture for the cabinet is completely black for some reason, anyone know why?

I liked when it used the HD one, damn

@Gyroic
no prob. do as you wish.

@MzGANz

Maybe if I make a complete revamp version. but frankly I have bigger projects that I want to get done ASAP so I'll take a rain check on this for now.

an HD version would be great, seriously.
could you make the HD version?

i kinda like the beta thanks

Relax, I won't get angry over a nearly 3 years old mod I made in less than an hour. HAHAHA

Thanks for your honesty and by the way, I liked the Cola Time theme on your mods, I really enjoy lore friendly stuff too.

@Alexander

Just to let you know, I also used your HD molotov mod also as a base for the Cola Time molotov mod that I made recently.

for that one I did use the original textures from the game but it looked absolutly horrible with it. Your HD molotov mod made it look beautiful and I decided to use it for release.

I'll be crediting you for that as well.

@Alexander

Thank you very much for letting me use it and not being justifiably angry at me, as promised I'll credit you for your work as a base.

and also thank you again for reminding me as to where the texture was, I'll keep that in mind so situations like this don't happen again.

No problem, you can use it if you want, thought it would be nice if you mention my name on the credits. Just keep in mind that the resolution of the one I made is much bigger than the original one, so it won't be so beta-like.

You can find the original texture at "materials\models\props_interiors\medicalcabinet02.vtf".

@Alexander

Sorry for using your HD med-cabinet mod as a base, I had a really hard time finding the texture within l4d2's files.

I do plan on updating this mod because I think I can make a better version of it, If I can find the original textures I can use that instead of your work (unless you're ok with it). Again I want to apologise.

If you want to make your own "Beta" Medcabinet mod then by all means go right ahead, I'd think you would do a better job then I can but again it's up to you.

Ah, nice to see a recolored version of my cabinet. I still have the source files around, if you want I can make a beta-esque one from it.

put screanshots of it.

@whynotII82 pretty good, I found a way for only the gadget part of the pipebomb to be invisible while not effecting the rest of the pipebomb (it's not transparent anymore) but it still has holes in it so I have to figure out how to do that.

whats your progress on beta pipebomb?

@Gyroic ok

@whynotII82 No I really don't want to, sorry

@Gyroic can you release it as a wip mod please

@whynotII82 I forgot that my profile was private, sorry about that, It should be public now.

@Gyroic sorry,i had the filter on l4d2 instead of l4d1

@Gyroic your profile is private,so i cant see your screenshot.

@whynotII82

check out my public screenshot of the look of the pipebomb (and a little extra something too !)

@whynotII82

I don't think that's a good idea, if cloud wasn't so screwy with uploading pictures A.T.M I would upload a picture seeing how bad it looks.

Can you release the beta pipe bomb as a work in progress please.

@SIXX so for days now I've been trying to recreate the gadget-less pipebomb and I got good news and bad news,

Good: I got the gadgets to become invisible.

Bad: the main body of the pipebomb is transparent (you can see it but tends to fade away when moving towards bright areas) and the view model might have holes where some of the gadgets were. (the world model has no holes though...)

hopeful: I might find a way to fix the problems with vmt and texture editing if not then I'll take a crack at modeling because I got a model editor program and I guess I'll try to learn how to use it.
I can't make any promises that I can do-this but as of right now. it's on the to-do list.

Ah okay, thanks.

also it be noted, that simply erasing the texture =/= invisible, transparency is done via vmt file

@Davos

I spent all day trying to get it to work, here's the problem. the body of the pipebomb and the gadgets are together into one texture file. if I make a vmt. file with transparency for it than the whole pipebomb is transparent.

@Gyroic
Perhaps edit the .vtf texture itself to transparent, perhaps that will work? Do .vtf's even allow transparency? Hmm

ok thats what i wanted to try...but well...since you did and my modding skills sucks there's nothing to be done. thanks however

@SIXX you mean remove the textures of the gadgets off the pipebomb's texture?

because if that's what you mean then sorry to tell ya, but I've tried that and I don't think it's possible to make a certain part of a vtf file to be invisible without effecting the rest of the textures within the pipebomb's vtf file.

if there is a way to make a vmt file to make certain parts of the texture file to be invisible than I'll give it another go until then I got nothing to tell ya.

yeah me too.....how about removing the lights part and accessories to stock pipebomb...can you do that or tell me how to do that xD

@SIXX dude... I tried to make a gadget-less pipebomb so many times, there's no way I can make that with the modding knowledge I know as of right now. It would require making a new model, something that I don't know how to do.

can you make the beta pipebomb....or just a plain pipebomb because thats what it was

thank you dude! I love these beta mods. I know its not real beta, but it looks real close.

Ahaha, I was thinking of doing this after I saw an image of the L4D1 beta cabinet. Good work!
