Sentry Particle Shield

(

)

Bubbles can't stop bullets, but energy can!

Well I appear to be the first with this idea. When I first saw the bubble shield I thought it looked unfitting, so I opened the particle editor and got to work:

FOR DECENT-FAST COMPUTERS ONLY

Due to constant TF2 updates that break the mod, I am going to cut off support for this, but instead tell you all how to get the manifest to function correctly.

-First off, you will need this program to access the Team Fortress 2 cache.

-After GCFScape is installed, open it, and open the file named 'team fortress 2 content.gcf' located in "C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps"

-Direct yourself into root\tf\particles\ and located the file 'particles_manifest.txt'

-Open it up, and add in: [ "file" "!particles/turret_shield.pcf"] (without the [] ) into the file, but before the bracket at the very end. It must be the last listed one.

-Save the newly editted file in C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\\team fortress 2\tf\particles (if there's no directories there, make them with folders) and you're all set!

Pros:
- A complete upgrade over the bubble shield
Improvements:
- Can you remake the shield so it looks like it does in your pictures and videos? It appears to have lost its regular form due to the updates, or its just my computer.
I have added a tutorial on how to get the particles to function whenever it breaks. It's quite easy to do.

Bite me.

Pros:
- Great design overall
Cons:
- The Manifest file ruins all laser themed weapons (Dr. Grordbort), so firing with them will result in invisible rays (causes real problems when fighting others using said weapons))
The problem is that the manifest file included in the pack is very outdated, I will fix this immediately. Whenever VALVe updates the file for new particles, the one included is overridden.

Since your video is so laggy, it really doesn't demonstrate the particles very well, so I made a video myself at 60FPS and at 1080p.

The sound is completely out of sync because YT is retarded and I'm not spending a whole day uploading the damn thing again, so sorry about that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQ8ox6T1YYg

Feel free to add it to your description.

Heh, well if it absolutly slaughters your FPS, you probably shouldn't have it downloaded. I might make another one, but have it made for slower computers instead.

Thank you everybody for the great feedback!

Hm... I believe I know what the problem is, I will get to work and I'll see what I can find.
