Finally, the bucket icons are updated! Take that, lazy Valve!

Getting tired of the ever-outdated bucket icons for the weapons and after many, many days of countless failure attempting to sort out how to edit the configuration files to change them led me to spend a long night/morning learning how to make transparent VTFs...just so I could finally have my fixed icons. I took all the official Valve Backpack icons for the base weapons and resized/reformatted them to work in the weapon buckets. They look MUCH nicer than the originals (which had outdated shading, models, textures, and sometimes didn't even show the weapon [Disguise Case]) and they conform with the unlockable weapons' icon style.

The only downside is that the team-colored weapons no longer have team coloring. This is because Valve never made blue Backpack icons for the weapons. You'll notice that unlockable weapons like Bonk and the KGB don't have team-colored icons either by default, so these icons fit right in.

If you have any issues, feel free to post constructively about it and I'll be happy to help you.

Enjoy!

    Yes, the original bucket icons were a bit of an eyesore... thanks much for these.

    Pros: Absolutely brilliant! This sorely needed the update, and these look great. Cons: None that I can think of! Improvements: See: Cons. Notes: I wonder why Valve even used the outdated stuff when the backpack system was introduced?

    Posted by Mxmlln Good call, these needed to be fixed. However one thing, when they release more class updates be prepared to update this as well :)

    Well, they're only for the base weapons, so it should be fine for a while.

    You need to calm down.

    Posted by gamester823 A little flaw here, some of the weapons are actually team colored in game, but these icons make everything team-neutral. That worked out in some cases like the fists and the bottles, but not so much for the medigun and others. I know there are no BLU-colored sprites in the GCF, but you could have tried image-editing. Well, that's not really a HUGE deal, and this looks awesome! Maybe you could release v2?

    None of the unlockable weapons are team-colored either, and there's no way to change that. You'd still have red-only items either way. Bonk, Flare Gun, KGB, and Blutsauger to name a few. The Backburner doesn't have a blue icon, so what's the point in making a blue Flame Thrower icon?

    You need to calm down.
