4-slot Grenade Launcher*BORKED*

The first in a long project of fixes to TF2's various inconsistancies.

This is the first part in an ongoing project I plan on sponsoring. As Valve is obviously too lazy to fix their own minor problems, the job is left up to the community. That's what this project aims at doing. In the future, I plan on sponsoring tweaks such as fixing various HUD inconsistancies, switching the side of the chain in Natascha's vmodel, fixing the Stickybomb Launcher's vmodel so the Demo holds it with BOTH hands instead of shooting it like a pistol, and various other small things. Also, further down the road, you may see some entirely different concepts. For example, I hope to have the Soldier's Rocket Launcher remodelled to look like the beta one, with new animations and all. The modeller/animator behind this project is Mr. Kit, known here as mrkit4423. He's an extremely capable modeller and animator, and I'm confident that he should be able to get this kind of stuff done no problem. Check out some of his other work, it's all great stuff. If you have any other ideas for things this project should fix, please drop me a PM and I'll see what we can do!

This fix remodels and reanimates the Demoman's grenade launcher. After Valve reduced the amount of ammo to 4 from 6, they seem to have forgotten to re-model the magazine to show that it only holds 4 rounds. This tweak fixes that. The magazine has been completely redone to have only 4 chambers, and the reload animation has also been improved. The magazine now rotates to show the Demoman putting a grenade in each chamber, instead of having him shove all 4 grenades into one chamber as before. Also, before, his finger didn't move to pull the trigger when the weapon was fired. That is also fixed.

ADDENDUM: After some testing, it appears that this model does indeed work on ALL servers. Be they sv_pure 0, 1, or 2, it works. You should have NO problems with wireframes and the like on pure servers.

Enjoy! :D

ANNOUNCEMENT: The physics model has been fixed just re-download to fix the collision model problem. Sorry that it took so long, but FPSB wouldn't let me edit my submission.

Also, I apologize for not releasing anything new recently. I'm involved in another project at AlliedModders, too. The next fix is coming; don't worry.

********UPDATE******** This is borked, and I am no longer in contact with mrkit. Sorry, guise, looks like this one is lost to the ages unless someone wants to step up and re-fix it.

    To be honest, I don't actually know what the animation fix is for xD I installed it, and it just makes the grenade launcher pop up like in kiyoshi's animations. I think you only need the fix if you use that.

    It's meant to fix a few problems that the original version fixed as well. I obviously fucked it up and I'll update it when TF2 switches to VPKs

    Peeps on facepunch did this: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/31115055/TF2/4slotpromo.png Heres the DL: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/31115055/TF2/4_Slot.rar

    It works great.

    That is pretty great. But like Judge says, the animation is clunky when I put the models folder from the Animation Fix folder in the models folder. Am I doing something wrong or is this that clunky and jerky?

    Oh, great ! I tried it, the skin is very clean. But just a question : where does the folder "Animation fix" must be ? I put it simply in the TF folder but it doesn't seem to work...

    Thanks !

    There a chance you'll be fixing it anytime soon? Seeing how this one and another one seem to be the only two fixes on the entire internet, I'm surprised it hasn't been fixed yet. Unless it's impossible.

    Too bad the other one isn't that great, your barrels seemed to be a lot smoother (as it seemed in the video).

    Currently not working. When I follow the instructions the model remains to be the default one. Am I doing something wrong?

    This is been broken for a long time, I'm afraid.

    Sorry everyone :<

    Cheezy :3 => Ah, then does that mean this c_models version needs a update to work well in the actual TF2 version ?

    I downloaded the c_models folder, put it in models/weapons etc. Then when I play with it, it has indeed four chambers but graphics are nonetheless almost octahedral and shiny, moreover animations are bad too... It's not the perfect grenade launcher skin from the video in the description. :( Can someone help me ?

    That's what the c_model version is like. The one in the video was like from 2010 or somethimg.

    Hey, do u know were to extract this or it's broken?

    place in tf>models

    O.o i did, but not working anyway. I've downloaded all the avaiable model (c and v) not working at all
