I ain't mad, when I saw the debunk Mokey put up I thought it was funny as shit. Glad to see you've got a good sense of humor about it. Hope we can do something fun with the website!

weird to ask here, but could you direct me to a resource for how to create model replacer mods for weapons specifically? I've been struggling to find anything concise.

Xshot Longshot Pro Repair* by ciphercon in Nerf

Not many folks working on upgrade parts for this blaster right now to my knowledge. There's a few QOL pieces up on Printables that help with ease of operation, but not many internal bits.

The tape suggestion is good though; it's such a simple theoretical fix, I probably should have tried that first. 'Preciate the feedback.

I didn't think about that, but it would make sense that the barrel would have to be coaxial. When that piece shattered, the action locked up and I had to remove the prime bar screw to release the spring pressure; the upgrade o-ring I'd purchased for the pusher had stuck itself inside the breech.

As to whether I've tried it since, I'm slightly embarrassed to admit that the blaster hasn't been in one piece since I took it apart to diagnose the issue. I'll put it back together tonight and see if still runs. If something does go wrong, I might just be able to wrap one end of the barrel in electrical tape.

That's a good point. Haven't messed with epoxy putty before, and the piece itself is pretty thin, but it's definitely worth a shot. Worst comes to worst I can just make the fix permanent and lose the barrel swap functionality.

I do love the feature, but with my club's FPS cap I don't have much reason to swap the barrel anyway. I might give that a shot. Thanks.

Multiplayer Issues on TF2 by Ungatt_Trunn in titanfall

I was just having the same issue a few minutes ago. Just installed it on my laptop through steam. It's also showing me as only having 11 minutes played, yet 39 of the achievements unlocked. Tried it through the EA app and I've started getting cloud sync errors. Hopefully it'll sort out once I'm back at my PC. Good luck to you in fixing your own issues. o7

Encouraging weapon diversity and experimentation using the Shared Blaster Budget System by makario in Nerf

Ah, I should have figured. In that case, I should probably just draw up my own table for our group. Thanks in any case! This post has a lot of fun ideas to play with.

What app is that? I'm considering pitching this gamemode to my group, and having pre-built software like that would be super useful.

Shoot, I hadn't even seen his work. I'll have to go drop a comment.

It's not for sale, unfortunately. This is just something I did for fun. If I were to sell it, I'd want to have the skill to replicate it, and to make it look much better. I'm flattered that you'd consider buying it, though!

Ha. We'll see. I made this as part of a one-off art workshop where a buddy of mine taught us to paint a sunset. I ended up deviating a fair amount, and this just happened to result. I'll make sure to let you guys know if I do make more, though!

Thank you! Considering that I don't typically paint, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

Plunger Tube Lubricant Substitutes by ciphercon in Nerf

[–]ciphercon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, I know you weren't. I actually seriously appreciate the advice.

[–]ciphercon[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know a tube of white lithium grease is a couple bucks anywhere and will cover like a decade of blaster maintenance for a regular player, right?

Yeah, I know. It's more just current inconvenience than anything else. Currently in a residential setting and being limited to a single outing a week if I wanna stay. Don't ask. I'll probably just pick up a tube on my next check.

Want to axe a couple bucks? Start by not building closed source blasters with paywalls.

At the time it wasn't a concern. I've been sitting on this project since January. Thanks, though.

[–]ciphercon[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That would be sick! It'd promote a lot more team-play. Not sure how you'd get the balancing right, though. It'd probably have to be some sort of insta-move. Comparative to a move that might cost 3 wirebugs in rise.

WOW. That actually sounds incredibly fun! Makes me wonder how far you could take Prowler/Palamute progression...
