Kinn's HEV Redux
HEV redux of the TF2 dispensers

Author's Readme/Notes

Finally done. I had a little idea pop in my head a while ago. The HEV charger from Half-Life looks kinda like the Dispenser.. so why not make it into the Dispenser? So I did. Credit goes to Valve for the original HEV concept (thanks WildWolF!).

Red team gets the HEV charger from the first Half-Life, Blue gets charger from Half-Life 2. Also, about the Combine dispenser... the chargers in Half-Life 2 are almost completely blank. No details, nothing to build off of. As a result, I'm not too happy with the look of the blue team dispenser, which brings me to the next topic.

Make a decent reskin of my blue dispenser, and I give you all my points. Not many, but points are points.

Extract to tf\materials\models\buildables. Enjoy! Gibs are included as well!

UPDATE: Please redownload for the modified screens. In my infinite wisdom, I only added the materials/models portion of it, and missed materials/VGUI. Again, REDOWNLOAD.

Alright. pretty much disregard everything i said in my first post, all those problems were due to the screenshots. ingame, everything works out.
HOWEVER. a new problem has arised. in the .rar you uploaded, there doesnt seem to be any replacement for the screens. i KNOW the red team's one is still red instead of green, but i thought i saw once that the blue one was yellow, as it should be, but i forgot. :\
i think you forgot to include it in the pack.

with the blue dispenser, it looks fine ingame. its not too dark and its detailed enough. the problem was with the screenshots.


i cant really say im looking forward to your sentries, because the ones in hl1 and hl2 were generic looking. the one in hl1 was a green tripod, and the hl2 ones were as bland as the suit chargers.
maybe you can make something good out of it, but i think youre headed in the wrong direction.

Thanks for all the posts, I do plan on making a sentry redux.

Here's the only thing: It's likely to get down-rated by users due to what it's based off of. The sentry guns in Half-Life and Half-Life 2 are both very simply with only minor details. It'll be hard to make something that looks interesting, but also resembles the original.

Stay tuned!

Oh yeah, I like this! Originality gets a 10 here. :) My only con is the look of the combine dispencer. It just doesnt look that mutch like a combine one. Try maby changing the coulors? Maby a slighter lighter blue wil ldo the trick :)

Oh and I was wondering one thing. Shouldn't you credit Valve for the original ideas with the charger? :P

Pros: very nostalgic, i love it, especially the decals/logos you used.
Cons: The colors? why did you choose yellow for the red team? why not orange?

that's the original. Orange for red team only makes sense...

another thing, the gibs. they look like they're fresh out of the package, ready for assembly. they need to look like they were just blown apart.
Improvements: Change the color of red team's from yellow to orange, and brighten up the blue team's just a little bit.
for the gibs, make them much darker, with obvious battle damage, scratches and bullet holes.

also, not listed in the cons, the logos on the top of both dispensers (where it used to say "Provisions", they look slightly off from where they came from. the HEV writing looks a little weird, but negligible. the Combine one however looks oddly squished together. its (supposedly) supposed to read "CMB" and yours looks different.

Notes: The main things for you to focus on are the color of RED team's dispenser, and the gibs.
i will definitely use this if it is improved, i think its a great idea. the color of the screens also look great.


Thank you very much for the feedback. A few things about what you posted.

1. The HEV charger from HL1 is in fact yellow. The picture you have simply shows it as orange due to the lighting. It's yellow, trust me.
2. The gibs. I recolored and reapplied the decals for the gibs. What you see is what Valve made, but I can modify this for a v2 release.
3. The top of the blue dispenser does in fact say "CMB", but due to the wear I added to it, it's not as easy to see. And yes, the blue is rather dark.

Again, thank you for the feedback. I might do a v2 release.

1: i havent played hl1 in a while, so maybe you're right about it being yellow. i still think it would look better if it was a little more orange, i just dont like that bright yellow.
2: i downloaded yours and it does look right... i'm starting to think that it's your screenshots that's the problem. that's usually the case anyway.
3: nevermind what i said, keep the wear&tear look.

new problem though, after looking through the download, i was happy to see a replacement normal, but when i opened it, it was all blank! nothings less fun than a flat bump map. you think you could make one? logos look especially good when theyre in the normal, it makes them look indented instead of just spraypainted. just a suggestion however.

i'll update my score and use it!
thanks for listening to the feedback.
