no good

why katana dont work? :( in game i have normal katana

my bad I realized that like a week ago but just didn't say anything. sorry, and i'll will delete the comments so it doesn't trigger anything. again I am sorry for falsely accusing you of theft. i have just been seeing a lot of mod robbers on the Gmod workshop recently.

Boi. I didn't steal from myself. The other one you commented on was *also me*

RGB PCMR

can you little bit slow change colour sir ?

i think good ideas to change :D

a little bit... too fast dude ^^

I didn't know Katanas could be on LSD...

Hate to say this,but i feel like being in a rave right now...

What's better than usin' a Mario Star on yourself? Usin' it on your katana!

This hurts my eyes, man....

A little disturbing-.-

The file will be excessively big (I mean, this one's already 4.669MB for a .vtf and a .vmt), but that's been requested too many times. I absolutely can't do the rainbow dash katana with any form of fading (it is double resloution for the image, so absolutely no increase in file size is acceptable), but it looks like it's time to pull out the old rainbow files and get workin'.

Needs to fade in between colors, like the rainbow medkit. It looks bad when it just snaps to a new color instantly. But that's just my personal preference, it is still a fine addon.

id really like a purple one though!

changes colors too fast

I can, but can you try those two guns too? I think every campaign has at least one of these four said weapons. Making me be able to carry lil' Tavi Wavi with me along my every adventure. ^_^
Also, what would be SO EPIC is if you edit the guitar too into being a small cello. Dang, breh.

I'm better at melee weapons than anything else, so the Katana and Machete will be easy enough. I'll try to figure out guns when I'm done with that. I'm not going to charge you for it (I need the practice, anyway), but if you want to just toss some s my way when I'm done I'm sure I wouldn't mind .

I'm excited, I haven't had the inspiration/request to mod anything in a while.

P.S. The comments section of this weapon is an odd place to have this conversation, so if you want to continue the conversation it would probably be better placed on my profile .

How about an Octavia Katana or Machete? Or the sas/pas whatever it's called shotgun? Or the 30 shot sniper rifle? any number of those? I can pay if you want. :3

I've always taken requests ... I have an item that I *hate* on the workshop (I groan to myself every time I see a comment on my no cutie mark pan/axe) purely due to a request. I made the Dash version of this katana due to a request, and I would've never uploaded the single-frame Rainbow Dash machete if it hadn't been requested.

You actually take requests?

@Octavia

I've looked at that and considered it. Mulled over it and all, but the way the texture is made (it's cut up into a few sections that are pasted together when the game combines the texture and the model) makes it both hard to line up and impossible to make have an even rainbow (either colors have to get cut off or portions have to get distorted). It's just too long and curvy to work out right. I might look into it after I finish with that Nyan Cat thing that juts got requested. Assuming I finish with that. I also plan on looking into making the colors smoother without increasing the file size too much, which was requested on the dash version, but that will take a lot of colorizing and compiling and testing (especially testing), so everything will be taking a while. It's weird that I went so long without anything and now I'm getting three requests on the same item at the same time .

Can you make a katana like this but have it BE a rainbow and not flash rainbow colours? Like the rainbow going the blade covering the whole thing?

Datass.

Ha, take your time.

It'd be very possible, I think I could manage that before the week is out. No promises.

Again, I do not know how this stuff works, but just wondering if anyone could. Would it be possible to put Nyan Cat on the blade of the Katana?

...Yeah... you CAN'T explain it any better...
I'll just... stick with the default rainbow katana ;_;

Ehh... Well... I can't really explain it any better xD. Maybe this'll help.

GCFscape and VTFEdit are programs you need to get off teh interwarbs.
.vpk is the file type of the mod you download from here. (open with GCFscape)
.vmt is the file type of the file you need to mess with. (open with VTFEdit)
The number next to animatedTextureFrameRate in the .vmt is the number you need to change (big = fast, little = slow)
I actually forgot one bit, you need to open the folder you make (make the folder look just like the folder in the .vpk) with a program in the L4D2 bin folder (look around in the left 4 dead 2 part of that locatoin I mentioned) called vpk.exe. Then you shove it in the addons folder that I mentioned.

If that doesn't help... I'm sorry, I taught myself how to mess with the animations by fooling with them and testing them in TUMTaRA (a map, it's useful, look it up), so I can't put it any simpler than how I learned it.

I have no idea what any of that is. You seriously spoke in a different language.

[code]AnimatedTexture
{
animatedTextureVar $basetexture animatedTextureFrameNumVar $frame animatedTextureFrameRate 1
[/code]

If you have GCFscape you can go into the .vpk from this (I quite honestly have no idea what the .vpk looks like, it's saved in my computer as "rainbow katana.vpk," but stuff from the workshop is some arbitrary number next to a thumbnail in a folder called "workshop" (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\left 4 dead 2\left4dead2\addons\workshop)) then from there you're going to need VTFEdit, which you use to open the only .vmt in the folder (there's just the one line of subfolders to follow). The number after "animatedTextureFrameRate" is what you're looking for. 1 = 1 loop around the texture every second. If you want to slow it down you make it smaller (.1 = 1 loop every ten seconds), if you want to make it faster you make it higher (10 = 10 loops every second)

Is there a way to get the colors to change faster?

I like it better without blood too :)
Animations are freaky with static bloodstains on them.

No blood stains? I HATE when it get's all bloody! Same with my machete! This is better :3

anybody ever requested a lightsaber?

So fancy! Keep up the good work bro.

i approve of these rainbows

hay good work

You should keep the fact that the Katanas don't get blood on them. It makes them look more clean and all the more RAINBOWIER! In my opinion.

yer your right half mod :D

The deadliest of the disco sticks

i wornder if the katana spawns differently like one spawns a green then you foung another katana thats blue see random color spawn

Time to make zombies beleive in magic!

Cool.
