Vest of the Best goes so fkn hard

pls add this would be nice to make pink as hell and line green like vibrant too

This is a long-needed change for paints. I hope Valve adds this!!

lovely

Very nice recolors, the oversaturation looks weird and this fits way better with the game. Although, could the white instead match closer to Demo's sleeves instead of what it is now? Might be a better reference for a white, since Medic's Labcoat is team-colored and Soldier's undershirt is also pretty bright

So let me get this garbage straight dark salmon injustice is allowed to have its rgb be 45.5% red and manco orange is Allowed to have 55.2% of its god dam rbg be red but i cant have 38.5% of my paint be blue on color similar to a slate where it is far dark than the base team colour blue? okay Hypocrite never come up with a solution to a problem ever again cause your clearly the type of person that thought new coke was a good idea!

You cant just changed colours of the paint people have purchased with their money. If u want paint thats fine don't just go out of Your way to Attempt to ruin other peoples day. PS colour similar to slate is just the cold colour version of brown so no it doesn't need to be changed

id def use the black paint more if it wasnt so saturated. Best alternative is after eight but it has a weird tone to it

swear to god i need to know what was in those crack pipes when valve made lack of hue practically full on pitch black

If Valve ever gets off their high horses and accepts community made paints, I pray we get these ones

I think a fourth new color based on the common team camo colors (best seen on the Hunter Heavy) would be nice, but I think the green paints we already have cover the RED side too well.

glad that we can agree to disagree.

@the adir842 #savetf2
understandable. I still prefer the black that coincides more with the other blacks in the merc's outfits though

i voted no on this because of two reasons
minor reason 1: the new colors aren't that impressive for me the best one is the pastle pink/blue color and i'm not the biggest fan of this "separate by team dye"

minor reason 2: the changes you preposed aren't the best changing the black and white colors to be a bit less black and white isn't the brightest idea i ever saw

MAJOR reason: you changed the color similar to slate, i can not allow you to do this bullshit it's my faivorite color and it's not similar to blue it is it's own color called teqouise if you want a point of refrence it's like dark teal

le 40% paint

I hope they add Pinch of Sugar into the game we really need more Team Paints. Best of luck.

BOTTOM TEXT

I love the additional paints. However, I think it'd require a lot of updating of existing items for old paint hues to change. A lot of the more recent items have had their paint layers opacity lowered a bit so the paints don't show up so saturated, so those would (probably) look very desaturated in the new hues. Maybe a secondary release without the changes to existing paints couldn't hurt. Keep up the good work!

@Obsidian
hehhe, because i really like pyroland's role in the game for the pyro

Why did you have to throw in another shitty pink paint.

yes please

"Vest of the Best" is probably my favorite one out of these. Spy has paints based on his suit and mask, so Demo's vest would be perfect for his hats.

This is very heavily needed and would work to make the game look BETTER. Paints have been an artistic error in this game, specifically for the higher tier ones.

@+ENRAGED i wont argue, but i will correct a few misconceptions you might have:

"vest of best" does have a tinge of red, but that's okay because it's sampled from the merc's vests, which is that color on both teams. the black tone down is sampled from the gloves and blacks of the merc's outfits (spy's gloves, pyro's straps, etc)

also i thought olive is a hue of green; and the reason it came out with mann mint and is called after eight, is because those two colors were mint chocolate chip colors, which is why it has that hint of green in it.

Don't even attempt to argue with me about this, because by your own logic, The Vest of the Best would be too red since the red value is 8 over the green and blue ones.

No it doesn't. The RGB values for After Eight are 45 45 36, meaning that if anything, it's technically olive. It doesn't matter anyways, since the values for it to be truly "black" are less than 10. Even the hex numbers are similar: #2D2D24 is the original After Eight and #282828 is your DLoH fix.

You are basically suggesting After Eight but with the very minimal difference of 5 or less points in their values.

@ShadowMan44 i could have in the past, but unfortunately, my tools and understanding on modding has drifted off, and am no longer able to anymore :\ sorry bud

Hey since you're here right now, do you think it's possible to like make a new paint can that's taken from Spy's "Smoking Jacket" cosmetic? I think it's a really good team-color that you could easily turn into a paint so you can have hats that match it.

@+ENRAGED
man i wish :P unfortunately After Eight has green tinge to it

"A distinctive lack of oversaturation"
After Eight. It's called After Eight.

Idea: No changes just new colors.

I would want to keep the original "similar to slate" color but everything else is pretty darn good. Great job.

I think that Valve stopped adding Paint Cans so people on the Wiki don't need to do paint variants for every single paintable cosmetic available in the game to include that new paint can.

Back when After Eight and Mann's Mint was added, the game didn't had that many cosmetics yet.

Though... I doubt it's that since they literally added the absurd amount of Decorated/War Painted weapons.

The problem with the paints being so saturated is that the very first hats were very solid in color, really basic textures, without many details, which might explain as to why the black and white paints were made so dark/bright.

Color Similar to Slate was probably added due to the same reason, there were only hats, no "shirt" items or more complicated cosmetics that would distract too much.

(2/2)
I think the Lime paint only goes well on tech-goggle-related items, like "Upgrade", "War Goggles", etc, but that's about it. Pink is alright (it is very saturated, but it's the only pink color available outside purple variants, there's several types of green to use instead of Lime).

@Zeugziumy

yeah; i included the scout to reference it being capable with the model fixes i did on the other workshop item;

i agree, it would at least be nice to have an alternate, less saturated, paint option but haha at this point hardly anything will ever get improved into the base game i feel.

haha nah you're fine, i agree it wont get added, but i really like the interactions i get with people who see this workshop item

The new paints are cool, though. Especially the Vest of the Best and Killer Khakis.

The reference on that paint on Scout pants is not accurate, though, Scout's pants are in the same color in both teams. Maybe pick another class to show where the reference came from?

Anyway, I apologize for being a bit defensive as to why this might not get added. I would love to get less saturated paint cans, but I don't think a straight-replacement will happen. Something that "toggles" could work, though, as mentioned below. Or a slider.

I think it's too late for these. Changing these will affect all painted items (of course), potentially the market-value, and maybe some players would be angry that these paints were changed without prior notice (as well the other paints from your other submission).

Because most paint cans are things you buy with real money, changing the values wouldn't be a good idea. I'm pretty sure Valve stopped changing equip_regions to not mess up with people's loadouts (even though equip_regions are a big mess).

The only way this could be implemented is if you could switch between Old and New, or add a slider where you can slightly adjust the brightness of all paint cans (slightly, so you can't use the Aged Mustache Grey or After Eight paints to achieve near Lack of Hue color).

I have loadouts where the Lack of Hue / Tinge doesn't look bad, and I don't know how they would look like if this gets implemented, and I am sure there's other people out there too.

Well slate is cool, eh 2 of the new paints are fine, so far this looks useless... YO HOLY SHIT PYROVISION PAINT?!?!?

@Curly Bill awsome

@Troodon, yes i have a community request part 2 of paint changes here! : https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1567581803

These are all amazing! Could you also consider also fixing the pink and lime paints?

This is great. I always thought we needed more team colored paint

I love the Killer Khakis paint! It will go together wit halot of my hats because I always liked paints that match the pants.

Well, we have orange and pink as somewhat red tone colors that aren't team based, whereas slate is the only color close to blue that always stays the same.

ya'll perfer like a grayer slate, or is it just that slate is blueish that you guys like? i always felt that it was a bit counter-intuitive to the team color unless on blue team; i was debating about making it a teamcolored paint so it had a red alterative version. Idk, but i like the feedback :)

i like all of these except the slate

I like that the slate is blue tho :(

It's a thing valve should get on it.


Except they won't. #FireGaben

This is something i've been wanting to see for a while i hope it gets more attention. (Probably gonna tweet this post out)

I think the best part of the change made to A Color Similar To Slate is the fact it actually brightens it, which improves a lot of sets. cough cough hotline miami biker set
