The unifying update

Baldurs Tod — Mon, 03 Jul 2017 19:35:31 +0000

The 3D engine powering loadout.tf has been updated to run on most mobile devices. This new 3D engine is significantly faster on mobile devices than the old one.

Now the url http://loadout.tf/ can be used on both desktop and mobile devices.

Therefore the url m.loadout.tf is no longer in use.

If you have issues with it, please post in the comments.

Lighting improvement in loadout.tf

Baldurs Tod — Fri, 26 May 2017 18:06:30 +0000

I'm currently improving the lighting in loadout.tf, which is a most needed feature.

You can beta test the new lighting at this url : http://whatsnext.loadout.tf/

Also, I modified the way paints are applied, so if there is an issue with an item's painting, post its name below.

Note that weapons sheen are unavailable for the moment.

Preview of the choreography update

Baldurs Tod — Sat, 11 Feb 2017 19:02:33 +0000

A new version has been released for test purposes at http://whatsnext.loadout.tf/.

New animation system
Choreography support
Added pool party
Fixed most wanted
Class badges and class masks are now using the proper submodel.
Note that for the moment, choreographies are only used for action taunts.

For as long as loadout.tf exists, I have been using smd (text files) for animations. Although I'm able to read mdl (binary files) animations, I don't use them for character animations cause those files are massive. The drawback of using smd is that they lack of events. This prevent to play some taunts properly (eg: pool party). Also, neither the sounds nor the effects were played.

So I eventually found a way to load only the bits of the binary files that are really necessary to reduce the bandwith usage. Note that this technique is very experimental, so, if you have:

low bandwith
low end computer
high ping (the server is located in France)

your feedback will be appreciated.

Note that the facial animations don't work with this new system yet.
