TF2 - How to make decals, in full colour.

11:53 PM / by admin / in TF2 / with No comments /

$IMPORTANT : Make sure you set all your images to 100% opacity before you export the image, or else the final product will keep the vaguely transparent image. Now repeat this process for each image, opening them in a new layer, placing them in the correct position, and returning their opacity to 100% once you're finished with them. Once you have your four pictures in their correct places, and you're happy with the final product, go to "Image" at the top left, same place as "File", and in the "Image" menu, choose "Scale Image...". Set both the "Width" and "Height" to 128. Once you have your final product, click "File" and choose "Export as..." which can be found in the middle of the menu. Save your final product as a png, by putting ".png" at the end of your pictures name before you export it. Full colour Clan Pride and Photo Badge For these two items, you can use TF2 Decal Patcher. You can install it by clicking here![github.com] Click on "tf2patcher-win32.exe" to download it, and before you open it, make sure TF2 is closed, or else you risk triggering VAC. Now run the exe in the background, and then open TF2, but do not join any servers. Simply use your decal tool on your Clan Pride or Photo Badge, and you'll see that no matter how you mess with your gradient slider, the photo remains in full colour. Neat, huh? Once you've created your item, close TF2 and the patcher. Full colour Conscientious Objector and Flair! On your steam library, click the cog on the right when you're on the TF2 page, and click "Properties". Navigate to "Local Files" on the right, and click "Browse". You should now be in File Explorer. Open the "tf" folder, followed by the "custom" folder. From here, check if you have these following files. If you don't, then make them yourself, with the specific capitalisation and spelling as seen here. In "custom", you should have "userstuff". In "userstuff", you should have "scripts". In "scripts", you should have "items". In "items", you should have "custom_texture_blend_layers" Your directory should now read: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\custom\userstuff\scripts\items\custom_texture_blend_layers For an Conscientious Objector, take your 128x128 image, rename it to "paper_overlay.png", and place it inside the "custom_texture_blend_layers" folder. Then when you decal your Objector, navigate to "custom_texture_blend_layers" and choose your image. For Flair!, take your image, rename it to "flair_template_guide.png" and place it inside the "custom_texture_blend_layers" folder. Then when you decal your Flair!, navigate to "custom_texture_blend_layers" and choose your image. Enjoy! I hope this guide helped. I've read a lot of guides on TF2 about how to use the decal tool, but they assume you own and use Photoshop, or they skip over specific details, so I hope this guide covers every use of the decal tool. Here's just some screenshots of the finished product if you want to see how the colours of my decals turned out.$

Back 4 Blood - Best Deck for Doc

1:41 PM / by admin / in PC / with No comments /

Doc is the resident healer in Back 4 Blood, so she takes on a supportive role like Mom. Doc’s passive bonuses allow her to heal each teammate for 25 health once per level, whilst also increasing her healing efficiency and the team’s trauma resistance. However, you'll need to know how to unlock all cleaners in Back 4 Blood before you can select Doc in your campaign. (complete first 4 levels of Act 1)

This guide will show you everything that you need to know to create the best Doc build in Back 4 Blood, so that you can keep your teammates at the top of their game.

The Deck

The real heroes are the players who stay out of the fray and choose to heal teammates instead. Well, Doc can keep everyone in good condition whilst dealing a fair bit of damage to the undead, making her one of the best characters in Back 4 Blood.

Use the following cards in your Doc build:

Rousing Speech
Combat Medic
Amped Up
EMT Bag
Antibiotic Ointment
Medical Expert
Ammo Stash
Mag Coupler
Reload Drills
Widemouth Magwell
Charitable Soul
Shoulder Bag
Fanny Pack
Saferoom Recovery
Medical Professional

If there’s a card with a significant drawback, I like to put it at the top of the deck. If you're going to lose something during your run, it's best to get rid of it straight away, and there's usually a significant bonus to make up for the loss. With that in mind, Rousing Speech takes the top spot for this Doc build. It gives a massive 225% boost to revive speed, but disables access to offensive accessories, like grenades and molotovs. Combat Medic makes up for that a little bit though, by healing teammates for an additional 20 health when you revive them.

Amped Up is another very important card, as it gives your team 50 temporary health points each time you exit a saferoom. This card only comes third on the list because you shouldn’t really need it for your very first mission, as you’ll have full health anyway.

The next few cards bolster Doc’s healing efficiency (the amount you heal when using medical accessories). This is already increased by 20% over other characters by default, but EMT Bag, Antibiotic Ointment, and Medical Expert combine to improve your healing efficiency by another 75%. That means in total, your healing efficiency is almost doubled. It’s definitely fair if you hog all of the bandages, by the way.

Healing and helping others is great, but you also need to look out for yourself. After all, there is a zombie apocalypse to survive. There are over 30 weapons in Back 4 Blood, and automatic pistols certainly aren’t on our list of the best weapons you should use. However, when paired with Ammo Stash, they work really well. Ammo Stash gives your secondary weapon unlimited ammo, so you can shoot without a care in the world. However, it does slow your reload speed by 20%. Fortunately, Mag Coupler, Reload Drills, and Widemouth Magwell all increase reload speed and outweigh the negative, so they come next in the deck.

Whilst thinking about looking after yourself, Charitable Soul deserves a spot in every healer’s deck. It gives a 50% chance to gain health when healing a teammate, so you can reap the rewards of being a good doctor and waste less bandages on yourself. It’s one of the best cards in Back 4 Blood for a reason. You’ll probably still run out at some point though, so use Shoulder Bag and Fanny Pack to increase your support accessory inventory, allowing you to hold more medical items.

Trauma damage is a key part of Back 4 Blood. As you take damage, some of it will be permanently added to your health bar, reducing your maximum health. This can be devastating in later rounds, so our Doc build has a few cards to help fix the problem. Saferoom Recovery heals 5 trauma damage at the start of every level, whilst Medical Professional heals trauma when you use a first aid kit or defibrillator.

Back 4 Blood - Best Deck for Hoffman

1:40 PM / by admin / in PC / with No comments /

Hoffman is one of the best characters in Back 4 Blood, as he has a chance to find ammo when he kills Ridden, whilst also increasing the team’s max ammo capacity by 10%. As a bonus, he also carries an extra grenade so that you can make more zombies go boom.

This guide will show you everything you need to know to make the best Hoffman build in Back 4 Blood. However, don't expect to play as Hoffman straight away. You'll need to actually unlock all of the cleaners in Back 4 Blood first (beat first 4 levels of Act 1).

The Deck

Hoffman can store extra ammo and grenades, so our Hoffman build is all about putting that firepower to good use. If you like your zombies to be ripped apart and scattered by explosives, then Hoffman is your guy.

Use the following cards in your Hoffman build:

Two Is One And One Is None
Offensive Scavenger
Admin Reload
Cocky
Guns Out
Silver Bullets
Large Caliber Rounds
Combat Training
Ammo Mule
Double Grenade Pouch
Grenade Pouch
Bomb Squad
Improvised Explosives
Demolitions Expert
Grenade Training

Two Is One And One Is None allows Hoffman to carry two primary weapons, making it an essential card that needs to go at the top of your Hoffman build deck. In these slots, we recommend using an assault rifle and shotgun. This card does lower your weapon swap speed, which we need to fix since you’ll swap weapons to reload with the Admin Reload card. Fortunately, we can use both Cocky and Guns Out to drastically improve your swap speed, so you can forget about any negatives in this area.

However, before you start worrying about swap speed, take Offensive Scavenger as your second active card. This allows you to find more offensive accessories, so you can throw grenades at your leisure - that sure does sound relaxing.

The problem with having two big guns is that one is probably bigger and better. Silver Bullets, Large Caliber Rounds, and Combat Training increase your bullet damage for everything, so that you can flip between both weapons and still slay zombies with maximum efficiency. Of course, you’ll want plenty of ammo to burn through, so take the Ammo Mule card to increase your ammo capacity by 75%. This does disable support accessories, so you’ll need to rely on an ally to heal you from this point.

Ammo Mule increases your bullet ammo capacity, but we want more grenades too. Grenade Pouch and the appropriately-named Double Grenade Pouch will help you out here, increasing your offensive accessories capacity by 3. With all those extra grenades in tow, it’s time to make your explosions bigger and better. The final four cards in this deck combine to increase your grenade damage by 250%, so you can chuck one into a horde and walk away without needing to worry. The mega explosion will take care of those pesky Ridden.

Back 4 Blood - Best Deck for Jim

1:39 PM / by admin / in PC / with No comments /

Jim is quick to take aim and fire thanks to his increased ADS speed, but damage is his real strength. With each precision kill, Jim gains 2.5% stacking damage, which stays until you are hit. This means you could increase Jim’s damage to ridiculous levels if you avoid damage. Oh, and he also gets a 10% boost to team weakspot damage, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Jim deserves a spot on your team in Back 4 Blood.

This guide will show you everything that you need to know to make the best Jim build in Back 4 Blood.

The Deck

Jim starts with a Magnum, which is very powerful and worth using over most other pistols. However, we recommend grabbing a Desert Eagle if you find one. The Desert Eagle is one of the best weapons in Back 4 Blood, and it’ll help you quickly pull off precision kills. Pair that with an assault rifle to make light work of even the most brutal enemies.

Use these cards in your Jim build:

Broadside
Hyper-Focused
Reckless Strategy
Ridden Slayer
Sadistic
Shredder
Silver Bullets
Steady Aim
Pep In Your Step
Evasive Action
Ammo Scavenger
Ammo Stash
Widemouth Magwell
Reload Drills
Hunker Down

Broadside starts this build off with a bang, as it has a 20% chance to cause Ridden corpses to explode and damage surrounding enemies. With this card, a few well-placed shots have the potential to wipe out hordes by turning your zombie foes into particularly gory grenades.

Jim already grants the whole team an extra 10% weakspot damage, but we can do better than that. Use Hyper-Focused, Reckless Strategy, and Ridden Slayer to increase your weakspot damage by an additional 100%. When Special Ridden like the Ogre and Tallboy appear, you’ll be able to take them down with ease. Sadistic increases your weakspot damage even further, granting you a 5% bonus for each precision kill in the last 10 seconds. Of course, you’ll be dealing with a lot of regular Ridden too, so you’ll want to increase your normal damage. Use the Shredder and Silver Bullets cards to make every shot count against the undead by increasing your bullet damage with all guns. Shredder is one of the best cards in Back 4 Blood, so consider giving it a spot in every deck you make.

Jim is all about dealing damage, which means you need to be able to quickly snap to enemies when firing. Steady Aim increases Aim Speed by 80%, so you don’t need to wait to start shooting. Whether an Ogre rises from the ground or a horde of Ridden runs from a nearby building, you’ll be able to swiftly turn, aim, and fire. Unfortunately, this does slow your movement whilst aiming down sights, so take Pep In Your Step and Evasive Action to get some much-needed speed boosts.

With this Jim build, you’ll burn through ammo pretty quick. No one likes to be caught short without spare bullets in the middle of a ravenous horde, so use Ammo Scavenger and Ammo Stash to remedy your ammo troubles. With Ammo Scavenger, you’ll find more ammo for your primary weapon, which also helps your teammates if they run out, giving Jim a support role like Doc and Mom. Ammo Stash gives you unlimited ammo for your secondary, but this does slow down your secondary weapon reload speed, so we’ve put Widemouth Magwell and Reload Drills in the deck to balance it out.

Reckless Strategy and Widemouth Magwell both improve this Jim build a lot, but they also decrease Jim’s damage resistance by a total of 10%. Hunker Down fixes this problem, taking damage resistance back to your normal levels when crouching, whilst also giving you an extra 40% accuracy, which is perfect for hitting those weakspots.

Back 4 Blood - Best Deck for Karlee

1:37 PM / by admin / in PC / with No comments /

Karlee isn’t one of the best characters in Back 4 Blood, but she still has some killer abilities that deserve a spot in your team. Most notably, Karlee can sense nearby hazards and Special Ridden, so you won’t be surprised when a Tallboy smashes around the corner. She also gets an extra quick inventory slot (used for defibrillators and stun guns) and increases the team’s use speed by 50%.

This guide will show you how to make the best Karlee build in Back 4 Blood, so you can stop staring at cards and start using them. Of course, you’ll need to unlock all the cleaners in Back 4 Blood before you can play as Karlee (beat first 4 levels of Act 1).

The Deck

There are a lot of ways we could take Karlee, as she isn’t beholden to one specific playstyle. For this build, replace Karlee's Tec 9 with a machete, which is one of the best weapons in Back 4 Blood. For your primary, take an SMG so that you can turn Back 4 Blood into a fast-paced looter shooter.

Use the following cards in your Karlee build:

Run And Gun
Adrenaline Fueled
Battle Lust
Motorcycle Helmet
Marked For Death
Knowledge Is Power
Support Scavenger
Weapon Scavenger
Ammo Scavenger
Utility Scavenger
Offensive Scavenger
Copper Scavenger
Hazard Pay
Share The Wealth
Lucky Pennies

For the top card, we’ve used Run And Gun. This card, allows you to shoot whilst sprinting, so that you don’t need to slow down and lose your flow to kill zombies. Adrenaline Fueled gives you 20 stamina back for each kill, which is much better than the standard stamina regeneration in Back 4 Blood.

Likewise, Battle Lust heals you for 2 health with each kill, turning hordes of Ridden into giant, rotten bandages. Since you’ll be getting nice and close to some zombies, we’ve also put Motorcycle Helmet into our Karlee build so that you have some extra health and damage resistance. This does disable ADS, but that’s not too troublesome for this run and gun build.

Karlee’s passive ability makes her the resident scout on the team, so we’ve used Marked For Death and Knowledge Is Power to bolster this particular playstyle. Marked For Death highlights any Special Ridden that you ping, whilst increasing your team’s damage by 10% against them. Knowledge Is Power increases damage further, and allows your team to see damage numbers and health bars when attacking enemies.

So, we mentioned that this is a looter shooter build. Well, we weren’t lying. The rest of this Karlee build is stacked with scavenging cards that will help the whole team, regardless of what you’re looking for. With these cards, you will find more weapons, support items, offensive accessories, quick accessories, ammo, and copper. Whether you need a bandage, some grenades, a new gun, or some more cash to buy another team upgrade in the next safe room, Karlee should be able to find it.

Apex Legends - Beginners Guide

11:06 AM / by admin / in Apex Legends / with No comments /

The Supply Ship is present at the beginning of the match as the drop ship comes in. It will fly to a point highlighted on the map and land there. Later in the match another will appear and do the same. Both of these will have weapons and other loot, usually at least one high tier piece, and are a magnet that attracts teams to land on them so be weary. World's Edge - - The above image is the Season 6-7 version (the only difference is the rocket took off from launch site and is docked on Olympus.) - WE is the largest map and was originally introduced in Season 3. This map has also received multiple updated versions. - Fragment East/West were originally one location called "Capital City" so you will often hear one of those words used as a call out for the location. - WE is very different from KC. This map features a lot of green grass, geysers, lava, mountains and cities. The mountains are used to divide the map into sections. This can protect from the "third party" but also make your rotations flow through choke points and sometimes go in directions you don't really want to go. The "hottest" places to land would be Fragment East/West, Skyhook/Countdown and Sorting/Launch Site/Tree. Don't be surprised if you have a game where the entire lobby lands between the two cities of Skyhook and Fragment and takes 10 minutes... if you can survive. - WE has loot vaults and cargo bots. There also used to be a train that acted like the supply ship from KC but was deactivated in the most recent version of WE. Loot Vaults require a key to be opened. To find a key, you need to find a cargo bot that has one of its lights lit up red. Vault keys take a spot in your inventory but also give a voice line for being picked up and will also display all locked vaults on the map. Once you get to the vault there will be high tier loot. Be wary though, anyone around will try to trap you in there and kill you quickly. Cargo Bots, as previously stated, will have one of their lights be lit up red when it contains a vault key. This is the only way, aside from killing someone who has an unused key, to get one. However, they also have other loot and it changes tiers all the time. If you watch the bot it will be blue, purple then gold. Gold will last the shortest amount of time and blue will be the longest. To get the ball, show the bot transporting it and they will drop the ball with one shot. If you hit the ball, they will speed up to get away and it will take numerous shots. Olympus - - Olympus is the newest map, and I dare say my personal favorite. The map size is debated but it definitely feels quite large. - Unlike the other two maps, this is a floating city in the sky that was originally meant for the wealthy so the colors and just everything about it are out of this world. But be aware, there is a lot of open space that you can get caught in if you don't know how to use your abilities and surroundings. - This map is very, very likely to get updated versions as the others did. There is a piece of lore that says the city is controlled by a computer system that can change the terrain and other stuff based on need, so the door is wide open for what they can do. - Olympus has some other unique features the other maps don't but we will get to those in another section. The "hottest" places to land would be Oasis/Estates, Elysium/Hydroponics, Hammond Labs, Gardens and Bonsai. Honestly, this map has the best spread of loot and Points of Interest that allow the lobby to spread out more than the others. - There is currently no feature like a supply ship, cargo bot or loot vault. However, the next event (in a few days on 5Jan2021) will introduce MRVNs around the map that will give you loot similar to the others. MRVN units are going to be spread around the map similar to loot ticks. Just the same, their screen on their chest will show a different face and color that tells you what loot they have. Should you have an arm from another MRVN bot you can give this new one the arm and he will be so thankful, he will give you gold loot regardless of his original tier. Starter Legends Apex Legends currently has a roster of 15 legends. When you first start the game you will start with 6, the others can be unlocked by using 750 Apex Coins or 12,000 Legend Tokens.

Spinning while going up a jump tower makes you much harder to hit. Use your pings if you don't want to use your mic. There are TONS of pings in this game. You can ping loot, doors, jump towers, lava, death totems, locations to go or attack, enemies etc. Response Pings can also be used to agree, disagree or dibs pings. RESPECT THE DIBS. Request Pings can be used to request missing gear or attachments, ammo or health. Survey Beacons take 7 seconds to use and you are very vulnerable while using. Every season seems to add more and more legend voice lines that are automatically triggered by teammates, locations and actions. These are tied to the lore and direct relationships of the legends. Bangalore : - While you can use your smokes to cover yourself for looting, reviving etc. One of the best uses is to use your smoke grenade on the enemies that are shooting at you. This will cause them to relocate or wait out the smoke while you get away or cross the street. - Bang's Ult will explode in the order that it landed, pay attention to this so you can dodge them as they explode if you don't have enough time to fully escape.
