Return back optimization Valve ! ADD THIS ! PLEASE !

valve please add this i dont want cheese coming out of my minigun

Think Bullet. Smart Bullet. -Heavy Weapons Guy 2008 & 2010 Heavy Update + MAC Update Words.

I remember someone doing some sprite replacements like this on gamebanana, this looks much better than that crumpet cheese.

Thanks for the reply, I rate this!

The lightning tint effect is also not based on per particle as one might think, it's only based on the point where exactly the particles come out from ( the origin point ), and the update/check rate for it also low

I get the concern, you might look at this and see the animated sprite and think this is crazy to render or something but it isn't, also this actually has a lower lifetime than the old ones too, at most maybe the bounce is something extra but that's not a big deal as the collision checking for this is cheap and inaccurate like the original for optimization.

↓

would these decrease performance? Just curious because the game is already poorly optimised, I would want these to not make a significant impact.

Original better! ( 2007 Style ! )

the community is just fixing what gun metal ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up at this point and not complaining i'm impressed how the community is taking initiative

RIP rigatoni bullets

The way this looks is very much in-line with how the Sniper Rifle casings look, also those orange tubes are way too silly over the top looney tunes-y type in terms of visuals, TF2 is stylized but not to the point where shells and casings are basic flat orange tubes.

I used this model that's already in the game to make the sprite for this, this is literally what they meant for it to look like:
models\weapons\shells\shell_minigun.mdl

Also the pistol one, not relevant to this submission but is also unused:
models\weapons\shells\shell_pistol.mdl

shell_shotgun.mdl and shell_sniperrifle.mdl are the only used ones.

the new casing models look nice but i personally enjoy the colour of the original casings. they seem more in line with the cartoony nature of the game

Mostly no; these are still 2d sprites but just animated, and the area lightning feature only samples the light from the spot the particles come out so it's not like sampled separately for every single of them if anyone thinks that's what's going on here, probably should clarify that

If anything these actually have a lower lifetime than the default too, that's could be a minor performance gain probably

wouldn't it impact performance?

Ngl I prefer how it is currently rather then dropping turds everywhere

Ngl I never really noticed how the casings were literally just orange tubes before lol, this is pretty cool tho :D

nice!

Hey, I main heavy I would ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ love this so much, it’s very well done. I really hope valve adds some community changes in the next update, best of luck in getting it in.

Just made it brighter, does look better indeed.

BULLETS LOOK LESS ASS YEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

Will try making it brighter soon, if I like the result I'll likely update this, but I don't hate the way it is now.

I also wanna know if anyone else feels the current one look too dark too, wanna see more feedback in the comments about the color/shade.

it makes sense, I do think it could be a lot brighter in general though

It's mostly due to it receiving the area's lightning, in the video when under direct light it looks very bright, seen at 0:32 in first video.

I really rally enjoy this, but do think the casings could be brightened up a lot
