Hello, Cheddar!

Welcome to the Official Team Fortress Wiki!

Here are a few links to get you started:

  • If you're not too familiar with editing wikis, you might like to start with Help:Editing.
  • If you already are familiar with wikiediting, you might want to try Help:Style guide.
  • Recent Changes will let you see others' contributions as they happen.
    • To make Recent Changes more useful for all users, remember to provide an edit summary in the "Summary" field before you save your changes.
    • You can set the wiki to prompt you for a summary in your preferences.
  • When posting on an article's Talk page you should add four tilde symbols or ~~~~ onto the end.
    • This will add a signature and timestamp to your comment so others can easily tell who posted it.
    • Any new sections on an article's Talk page should be added to the bottom of the page and not to the top.
    • When editing normal article pages, don't sign your contributions.
    • You can use the Signature Icon.png button in the editing toolbar to quickly add a signature.
  • If you have any questions or need any help, please feel free to leave a message for a staff member.
  • If you have trouble with anything on the wiki or you're not sure about a specific topic, feel free to join the IRC.
  • You can also customize your user page if you like.
    • When uploading images for use on your user page, please add the prefix User Cheddar to the file's name.
    • Additionally, if you would like to add any self-made content to the wiki, please do so by adding the prefix User:Cheddar/ to the page title when you create the page.

Once again, welcome to the Team Fortress Wiki!

User file

Hi Cheddar,

Please add "User Cheddar" in front of any file you intend to use on your user space, for example "User Cheddar Profile Picture.png". No need to upload the image again, I already changed the file's name. Please also add Category:User images to the image summary.

Demonic Dome images

Hi there,

Please note that cosmetic images can use the template {{classimg}} to automatically add the right license and category, note that every image is required to have the correct license and category. Please also see this page and this page on a guide for how to make cosmetic images, your current ones are not made in HLMV, not cropped at all, have weird quirks (such as weapon poses without a weapon, Medic's arm bending in a weird way, Demoman's hand is disconnected from his sleeve, etc.) that do not fit the current standard. Please also remember to name the files appropriately, several of the files don't have the cosmetic item's name capitalised as it should.

HLMV images

Hi there. I saw you uploaded some cosmetic preview images to the wiki, but I just wanted to point some things out so if you upload in the future then it's all fine and dandy.
- Make sure to use the HWM models instead of the in-game models, the HWM models are used in the SFMs and look better than the in-game ones.
- You should have your Anti-Aliasing settings to the max, you can achieve this by using HLMV++ or by changing your dxsupport.cfg.
- For background removal, you can use HLMV++'s screenshot feature or use a black and white background, I'm noticing a blur/feather effect in your images.
- Zoom out the image and select a pose, cosmetic preview images are more zoomed out and have poses, you can see some examples here
- Make the facial flex less exaggerated, your Demoman Mean Captain image for example has a really big smile, again you can check for examples here
- Make sure your images aren't too wide, if you're images are too wide then they look too small on pages, I would not go above 1000px.

Those are the tips I have, I recommend taking a look at the Cosmetic Images help page and Gabrielwoj's HLMV guide as well. If you have any questions then feel free to leave a message on my talk page or add me on Steam or Discord.
