Uber Textures

[Ny0kazer]

Whenever a player gets ubered, their eyes become yellow. Pyro's eyepieces become yellow, too.

Because of that, you would think that Engineer's goggles would become yellow. Apparently, Valve thought so, too, but they messed up the location of RED Engie's eyes and forgot about BLU Engie's eyes.

Sniper also has an issue that, while subjective, would look a lot better if fixed. When ubered, his eyes do actually turn yellow, but it's hard to notice thanks to his nonshiny, irremovable (because of bodygroups), and black glasses.

I think it would be much better looking if the glasses became yellow, like Pyro's eyepieces. It doesn't seem like the glasses can be made translucent during uber. I don't think they would look very good with the shiny uber texture on them, either.

One other thing to note about uber eyes is the colour of BLU team's eyes. Ingame, they are yellow, like RED, but in the official BLU uber avatars, they are light blue. They were released in 2009, however, so the avatar creators might have been the ones who made the error. BLU's yellow eyes look fine, but it would be neat to make them match the avatar eyes.

Aside from eye-related issues, there are also general issues with uber textures. Specifically, their datedness. According to the TF2 wiki, the textures, like gibs, are based on early versions of the mercs. This is apparently the cause of RED Engie's eyes on his nose. https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/ÜberCharge#Bugs There are a couple of mods that update these textures, such as these two by MrMannOfLeisure and LolzMan1325 respectively that make them look more like the textures used in Meet the Medic and Expiration Date. This also fixes up the uber eyes while keeping them yellow. https://gamebanana.com/skins/180035 https://gamebanana.com/skins/120998 There's also this one by A Paint Bucket Named Huey that keeps the original metallic style of uber. https://gamebanana.com/skins/179982
