Thank you for this, favorite WP

Im crossing the bullets with this one.

the war paint!

That's alright, thanks for your time!

Yeah, the only thing I can think of is perhaps either mods you have are conflicting with it or your graphics settings.
As I haven't had it happen to me I cant really think of what might be causing it outside of that, sorry.

somewhere*

Alpha layer was fine and I've even tried it on a different war paint that has custom splatters and it's doing the same thing. Seems like barely anyone else is having this problem, but I asked Monkey about it and he said he's had it happen to him but doesn't know what causes it. There also isn't anyone else online talking about it so there isn't a fix for it I can find someone. So I'm completely lost at this point lol

Nope, that was the first thing I thought but how the blood works is its simply a texture multiplied over the warpaint, its nothing like a sticker.
Only thing I can think of is check the alpha layer is the same.

Is there suppose to be a flag I'm suppose to tick in vtfedit that I'm missing or something? Like is there any difference in putting in custom blood splatters and just the normal textures?

That's strange, I cant think of a reason that would be happening as you said, they shouldn't be showing up on factory new.

Awesome war paint. I'm currently trying to use it as a base for a war paint I'm working on and I'm having an issue with the custom blood splatters. I've changed the color of the splatters into the color I want and when I view them in game they are pink when viewed in both factory new and minimal wear even tho they aren't even suppose to be showing. When it's field tested and lower it shows up fine. So I was hoping you might know what's going on and how to fix it? Thanks for any help you can give!

Screw you VALVe fucking up the implementation of this god like war paint.

Thanks for answering, but now you've got me wondering what kind of system Valve has for stickers that made it rarer. Because apparently it is significantly more uncommon.


It's obviously a somewhat flawed system or the stickers would be visible on every weapon too.

however rare it is, I dont set any sort of values or such.

How much rarer is the phone number sticker than the ghost strike-through one? I was checking where I could, but even the official wiki doesn't mention it anywhere.

Hey, I’m the guy that left several paragraphs of comments on the Ghoul Blaster V1. IDK if you remember me or not, but if you want to see what I’m talking about, just look in the comments section for V1.

I'm going to be completely honest, I forgot about this war paint. I didn't even know Version 2 was in development. If you're wondering why I'm just now commenting on this, it's 'cause I haven't even played TF2 in several months (been busy 'cause of Uni.) and only learned about it from watching Zesty's Scream Fortress XIV Review. When I saw it pop up in the video, I thought to myself, "Hey, wait a minute. Isn't that that war paint I commented on a while ago?" Turns out, it was. And, oh man, I was not prepared for it.

First off, I have to say, I'm happy for you. Really, I am. All it took was for more custom wear war paints to be added, and Valve would eventually take notice, and take notice they did. Second, I see you took some of my criticism to heart. The sticker is thematically appropriate & fits TF2's artstyle (I know you mentioned that there already was a sticker. I'm just going off the assumption that the sticker that was supposed to be in the promo shots for V1 was the one in the workshop banner). Also, whilst not being a criticism of mine, I do love what you did what the slime. The original was just a dark sludge, whilst the new is bright and feels more ectoplasmy . Like Zesty said, BS can be oversaturated (both in terms of % slime & color theory); however, BS is so rare (I believe that it's just as rare as FN; WW, FT & MW will make up the overwhelming majority of unboxes) as to be an edge case, so it doesn't really matter.

My only real criticism of this is that, like V1, in FN it resembles Hazard Warning too closely. Again, however, that's a non-issue because FN is so rare; also, it doesn't hurt that both this skin & Hazard Warning are kind of rare (this because it's Assassin & HW because it's from the Smissmas 2017 case). I'm excited to see what you do for next October.

Only ones you need to tick are the clamp options, cant say I've had that issue though.

Ok then,

I’m creating a warpaint, using ghoul blaster as a base. There seems to be some issues related to the stickers, where the replacements I’ve made cause they weapon models to appear entirely black, entirely yellow, or covered in very grainy rainbow coloured lines. I’ve used the same image settings that your stickers had (from what I can see in vtfedit, it was clamp s, clamp t and 8 bit alpha) but there might be something else I’m missing. The textures themselves also aren’t exporting from vtfedit with 8 bit alpha applied, even if the box is ticked. I doubt that problem is related to your warpaint in any way, but I figured it was worth asking in case you’d had a similar problem.

you can simply ask them here

Added you for some questions related to this skin

I managed to unbox a unusual Isotope of this skin, honestly shocked at how amazing it is.

it could be because while it was intended to use albedotint, the ingame uses the default lightwarps. That probably made it brighter than the promotional images in practice.

Top tier, my only complaint is on higher wears the green colour from the custom wear made it waaaay too saturated which is unfortunate. It made me really wish Valve kept the bug on the stripe textures where the custom wear doesn't affect the stripes. It balances the saturation greatly. Nonetheless a fantastic warpaint

you made one of the best warpaints in the game, it's legit only restricted because it's a warpaint, with being unable to get the sticker to show up on other weapons.

you made something really good, especially with the wears, i hope to see more of your stuff get added

Oh sorry i didnt even see that, thank you for the war paint in general though

as I said in the comment below, I genuinely could not do it. the whole system is really restrictive.

im livid, i unbox this thing and i can't even use it on what it was meant for

WHY COULD YOU NOT HAVE MADE THE MEDIGUN INCLUDE THE STICKER BRUHHH I WANTED TO DO A GHOSTBUSTERS LOADOUT THIS HALLOWEEN FUCK

I believe so, its a limitation of how the warpaint is added ingame sadly. Its a rather inflexible system.
I would love to have had it on most weapons medigun especially.

Fantastic work. I love the little ghost logo. I wish it were on the Medi Gun. It's limited to the Back Scratcher, Degreaser, Detonator, Flame Thrower, Holy Mackerel, Power Jack, Rocket Launcher, Scattergun, and Scorch Shot. Is that correct? Did I get them all?

Skin looks awesome! Thanks!

I am complete

Fixed a materials problem with the Ghoul Blaster war paint!

I was also disappointed with no update but it's not your fault. I still really like the skin and my favorite to date. I've been collecting well-worn due to the character of wear/blood so this skin is perfect in my eyes. The update would take it from 98-100% but still love it.

I think the first lot of fixes were focused on seriously gamebreaking stuff, so here is hoping that it gets fixed in the next round.
If not I will send another email, I don't want everyone to be disappointed with ghoul blaster.

Kind of annoyed this didn't get fixed in the first bug fix patch. Here's hoping they do another one and fix this. It's way too high quality to be left half broken by valve.

We finally get a godly war paint for the medi gun. I’m so happy

im so happy this got in

knew this one would get in, congrats

I never knew this War Paint existed, but I love that it does. The nice little thing of the slime taking over the weapon depending on how worn down the paint is just genius.

just a teensy bit gaudy but its good

Hey, congrats on getting this in game! Minus the bugs and glitches, this is still super cool! I think its also the first time that a battle scarred weapon looks better than factory new. Hoping to get my hand on a weapon with this skin soon!

congrats on getting it ingame tho

Yeah, I figured, just wanted to give you a heads up since this warpaint is so nice.

I am aware its broken, I already sent valve an email.
Seems they didnt correctly implement it as I had it set up.

the hazard stripes are white and the blood isnt green ingame

Seems to be a bit broken atm. The hazard stripe area still gets the white scratches, while the metal gets the green scratches

Also in combination with halloween version of pl_barnblitz, called Brain Blast; that would be epic
