Original Team-Colored Targe

I've heard a lot of people saying they wished they had the old Chargin' Targe back with the red and blue team colors instead of the yellow one we got back in April. It seemed like nobody saved a copy of it.

Well wouldn't you know it? I stumbled upon a stash of backed up TF2 caches and one of them contained the old Targe! I tossed it back in the game and it seems to work fine. Just be sure that the servers you play on are running sv_pure 0, otherwise the model will break.

I take no credit for this mod, since it is all originally Valve's work. All I did was add it back into the game. This should also prove useful for people who still want to use some of the older team-colored skins people made for the Targe. Just copy those skins over this one once you've installed it. So consider it a useful "tool" that helps to re-enable some of the other skins on this site more than a simple copy+paste job. (Which it is, but I'm sure the people who wanted the old Targe back aren't complaining!)

To install, copy the "models" and "materials" folder from the archive to your "tf" folder. This is usually located in:

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\YOUR USERNAME HERE\team fortress 2\tf

Enjoy.

If you happen to use my revamped item icons mod, then you'll be happy to know that I'm re-adding the original red Targe icon as an alternative choice in the pack. Check it out here: /go/1609.lnk
