A Dispenser Replacement with the Valve Official Repair Node Textures!
So The Repair Node's official textures finally leaked.
I know what you're thinking, and to be frank, I couldn't believe it either when I first got the news. But, with some cross-checking from sources and the model's short appearance in the background of the Engineer Update teaser, I was able to confirm it myself. Yes indeed, the texture for the Red repair node did, in fact, finally leak to the public.
So your boy got to work. First with upscaling the texture back up to a reasonable size, and then to getting something to show for it ingame! I had realized that, in spite of the fact that the models themselves have been in our possession for over a decade, no one had ever added the missing light back onto the level three node. Well, no longer do we have to worry about that, my friend! This model set includes all three levels, with an animated center (courtesy of Geel9, Benjamuffin and/or SuperMario20, couldn't get the exact individual who did this) as well as idle animations for the higher levels!
Q and A:
Q. What still needs to be done?
A. There are still no animations for the construction and upgrading of the node. These need to be done. Gibs also need to be created, as well as the blueprints and a build icon.
Q. What here is original?
A. All 3 node models are original and are actually still in the game by default. The texture for the red model is original and was leaked on December 16th, 2021. The Blu texture, animated center, animations for the antenna and dial, and the added light on the level 3 node are made by the community (myself and the others I credited.)
Q. How did this texture leak?
A. On December 16th, 2021, 404UNF went public with the texture on his tf2 cut content discord and associated Twitter account, alongside textures for the Knight boss, an unknown female character, a floor tile texture PSD, and several other textures.
Q. Can I modify or use this as a base?
A. You are more than free to do with this mod as you will. I do ask, however, that if you modify it and re-release it, that you credit myself and the others listed in the credits.
Also rate the mod on gamebanana if you like it!
