Team Fortress 2 Pip-Boy Comes Alive


A few weeks ago, Valve had a promotional offer that I couldn't resist. Buy Fallout New Vegas on Steam and you got it on sale price and a free item for Team Fortress 2, The Pip-Boy, which is modeled after the Pip-Boy 3000 from Fallout 3/New Vegas. Imagine the Pip-boy like a wrist watch, but instead of a calculator it makes for useful levelling in a nuclear holocaust-wasted land. The one complaint I had about the item was that it wasn't animated because when used the Engineer would not look at his arm when building an item but at his normal PDA layout with the selection of layouts. A minor complain on a otherwise awesome cosmetic item.

Cue now when I found out that modders saw my comments (and the millions of others), and decided to do something about it. Hence this link which will allow the animation of the Engineer to look at his arm whilst building. These animations replace the PDA's and work 24/7. It's the simple things in life that please me, people.
