just took a shit and had a idea for this
what if the ball did 30 damage and bounce off enemies for a chance for it to hit a other enemy and then deal 60 to them, and then ramp up from there 7 more times

its alright

don't remember, sorry

hud?

if it were to be added i think neat stats would make it similar to the sand man, exept the ball recharges faster if you land a hit, similar to how in a normal game of pool if you make it in a pocket you get to go again, the other stats could be whatever though.

Will it have longer hit range than a bat?

I agree with Crunchy, make it have these stats;
+15 health on wearer
+30% swing speed
-40 damage
-Breaks after 8 hits

AWESOME! make it on impact i does lots of damage and the stick is weak

Wicked sick man. Add it Valve! I'd buy it.

Now this seems like it could be fun. personal I think the 8 ball should cause a knockback effect. like 1 ball hitting into another

Surely this particular melee weapon should be called the 'FAR CUE'?

+15 health on wearer
+30% swing speed
-40 damage
-Breaks after 8 hits

it should have a longer range than normal

How you downlaod TF2 stuff?

YES, this is obviously a scout weapon

i dont think it needs the ball so much. but it is still cool with it

The Bar Brawler
Ball:
+10 Damage Bonus
+ Opponents more likely to be stunned closer in range
- Ball will drop faster than usual
Stick:
+20% Weapon Speed
-10% Damage Bonus

There's nothing like a good game of "stick hitting colored balls" (that's what they used to call it back then)- and by "stick hitting colored balls" we mean "stick ramming into opposing team's testicles". Go get em, pool shark!

+ Ball is charging faster
-Damage is reduced by 20%

And yet ... Valve, add it!! :)

Nope, they're all the same settings. Itemtest is just a poorly lit map and I happened to not be positioned somewhere where a highlight was evident

Well, if the first image is the newer texture settings, and the in-game photos are older, before the first set of texture and shader tuning, than it's already been dealt with.

Sorry, I'm just used to using Source's lexicon for simplicity's sake. You're right though.

Regardless, I still see no problem with the phong I have now

Actually, Phong Shading parameters, are shader parimiters. Phong shading is implemented using pixel of fragment shaders, thus it's parimeters are shader parameters, even if you don't write the shader program, or create the shader data, telling the 3D Modeling program and video driver to do so for you is still creating a shader. Even if you attache the shader parameters for prewritten shader programs to another object that isn't a shader, the shader parameters themselves are still part of your shaders.

You may only change a few variables, but because you put values in those variables, 2 maps are created by your export program as part of LOD conversion, and several additional shader programs are enabled on the end user's machine to render those maps.

you know youre not supposed to fight with that cue, right? it might go break(some skulls)...

I WANT!!!! It looks great and seems like it could be a lot of fun for pool/billards players

i love billiards so valve add this plz :DD

Thanks!

There are reskins of most of my submissions on gamebanana

This is great. Add a download to reskin the sandman in desc please. I will love you forever.

I like Billiards, so this has my vote

how about "the game ender"
the ball blinds enemy for a certai amout of time depending on distance

Those aren't shaders, they're parameters, but a bumpmap is definitely not at all necessary here. I don't know which part you think looks square but I doubt a bump map would help. I think what you're seeing is the weapon lightwarp, used on all weapons, that is very high contrast and you're confusing it for a hard edge because I assure you it's sufficiently round

Yumper - 3ds Max and Photoshop

And yes, Phong shading, possibly along with a bump map, is what would be best to use.

By shaders I mean the bump map in particular (one of several shaders.)

The issue is that it looks a little "squarish." instead of round.

Hey mexican which program you use for making workshop items?

I don't get the connection frankly

This should be for demoman, not scout...

I think it has plenty of polies and dunno what you mean by shaders unless you mean phong settings or something but I'm pretty sure they're fine

Needs a better high LOD, and better shaders. However, the idea is very good and worth a good thumbs up!

Awesome! Steam add this as a weapon!

i think this thing must be longer?

hyvä

me wanty!!

sweet

thats epic!!!

bom trabalho

well i wished this item will be at TF2 :D nice job

Since a cue stick is longer, lighter and thinner than a baseball bat, the stats could be:

Pros:
+50% faster swing
+20% longer range of swing
+15% projectile damage

Cons:
-20% projectile speed (8-balls heavier lol)
slight projectile deviation (try hitting an 8-ball with a cue stick in real life)

+50% longer hit
+10% more damage
- 25% slower swing

Just sum ideas, nice job :D

Careful, if you get that 8-ball in before sinking the other ones, you're gonna lose.
