XJ Models Contest

By Ovidiu Dumitru·
Hello community,

It gives us great pleasure to test new waters in regard of the recent burst in activity, which in our opinion will mark a new era for XJ.

It all started after a comment was made by SAJKEE in the ROTW #199 - promax on kzru_pharaonrun news:

SAJKEE on 04/03/18 - 11:22:06
Suggestion: Can someone make Usp and Knife models in colours of XJ to use in ROTW ,I think it will be nice, ...

lol awesome idea :) i will participate if i catch some free time *one suggestion: everything is good, but dont include the model for recording demos for XJ...its a risky thing i think

24/03/2018 07:24:00

Why? Custom models don't affect demo in any way.

24/03/2018 12:04:00

ye thats ok...but what if that reocrd-holder recorded it for kz-rush (for example) and suddenly its WR...but he didnt have XJ's knife model...his demo wont be accepted here...for example

models doesnt matter in the demo - its the movement

24/03/2018 16:31:00

waaaaat

24/03/2018 00:56:00

hm, good idea. You model maker guys better participate in this!!

24/03/2018 01:33:00

Are there even any model makers here?

24/03/2018 12:52:00

Default usp model is really good, and optimized. they mean the textures. or maybe we can add a flashlight, but It's useless, and good maybe just for edits with „N" use.

model maker :D :D :D guys, you can just change textures. If you want to do a full model (3D), better for you :) good luck

24/03/2018 02:31:00

Awesome :D

24/03/2018 02:42:00

Need KZMOD models too :)

24/03/2018 05:34:00

good

24/03/2018 11:19:00

Agree with badgamer! I want to see KZMOD Ice Axe with XJ logo!

24/03/2018 18:55:00

Wow, let's party now :) Of course default models with new textures, I let you to choose which one...?

24/03/2018 21:15:00

will you guys upload the models to the site?

25/03/2018 01:03:00

I'll submit at least one of each, already finished player and usp, gonna work on the knife tomorrow. I guess you need p_ and w_ models as well as v_?

25/03/2018 09:40:00

Yes, p_ v_ and w_

25/03/2018 08:21:00

Oh wow, xjlogo 100x100, nice to be back in 2000 <3

25/03/2018 09:44:00

tbf, it doesn't need to be bigger for skins.

25/03/2018 20:28:00

I actually needed to scale it up.

25/03/2018 12:29:00

Just a little note, the w model for the knife is different from the p model, it's actually the 1.5 knife. So I'm sure it's okay if we do not submit a w_ (world model) for the knife?

since you can't drop knife, its okay :)

25/03/2018 20:29:00

What if one guy has the best USP, but ugly knife, and the second one the best knife, but ugly USP?

25/03/2018 23:22:00

Speedz0r is correct. Winners will be picked based on models and not maker. There can be up to 3 winners or just 1, from the maker point of view.

25/03/2018 22:51:00

I'm assuming there will be a poll for each individual skin and not for each maker.

26/03/2018 10:18:00

So after all, what exactly you want, modified textures or NEW MODELS plus custom textures? There are two different things and making a NEW model ain't so easy for some users, plus making it at same scale, converting, optimizing to GOLDSrc isn't easy peasy shit. I think creating new models for this is pretty useless, you can get some nice textures on it and call it a day, than fucking around with custom models which might cause errors and shit. Really consider this since you know tf I'm talking about.

Great idea! It will bring even stronger content for the ROTW's
