how to get it

how do we actually get this item? Villager3056 (talk) 08:47, 28 August 2014 (PDT)

Not to be rude, but if we knew it'd be in the article. —Moussekateer·talk 08:53, 28 August 2014 (PDT)

I find it strange how the makers of the Horace don't have a workshop link for it Redconer «C | T» 20:36, 28 August 2014 (PDT)

One of the creators here - there is a workshop link, but it's hidden. It's not actually marked as accepted on it, for some reason, so it didn't get unhidden. --Hideous 08:59, 29 August 2014 (PDT)

Where is the link? If that was contributed via Workshop, it would be nice to show the workshop link and the workshop thumbnail image to the gallery (even though VALVe didn't put as accepted on the page). ▪ - 09:08, 29 August 2014 (PDT)

It's still hidden. I imagine they (or we) will unhide it once it's available to the general public. --Hideous 07:24, 3 September 2014 (PDT)

Alright. Thanks! ▪ - 07:35, 3 September 2014 (PDT)

Nameable and something else

I was looking on the items_game.txt, and there's no attributes for "nameable", does that makes the item non-nameable? And second, there is an item called "RPS Promo" on the items_game.txt, which is a bundle, inside the bundle contents, there is the "Horace" item, and the image_inventory is "backpack/player/items/crafting/mysterious_promo". The item quality string is "unique", and the level is 50. I know speculation shouldn't be added to the page, but all of these are on the items_game.txt, VALVe possibly will add this to the shop, or perhaps change the items_game when the real promotion comes out. Please discuss (also, check if the name thing is really correct, other items like ap-sap [which a later update made it nameable], has the "nameable" "1" string on items_game.txt). ▪ - 16:37, 7 September 2014 (PDT)

The bundle thing won't be notable unless Valve distribute it like the Ap-Sap and Robo-Sandvich. A lot of items (like the Genuines from the NECA figures) use the bundle method to give out the items, even if the bundles themselves aren't added to someone's inventory. I can never remember which part of the schema handles whether or not an item can be named, but the other half of the schema (here) does point to the item being nameable, along with a number of the other settings like being giftable and so on. --Omolong (talk) 16:51, 7 September 2014 (PDT)

I just checked ingame and the Mann Co. Catalog does say that Name Tags, Paint Cans, Gift Wraps and Description Tags can be used on this item, so I guess it is nameable. --Omolong (talk) 17:09, 7 September 2014 (PDT)

Well, thanks for the information. I had no idea there was another part of the schema on TF2. ▪ - 17:43, 7 September 2014 (PDT)

How you get/got Horace

It's late, but some people might still wonder how you got it (I don't know if you still can, their website does not say anything about that).

I was looking through Rock, Paper, Shotgun's website and noticed their supports site, where you can support them by giving 20$ or more to get some discounts or free games and other bonuses within their website (plus the hat "Horace" in Team Fortress 2).

Read it for yourself here:

It Twurts,doesn't it? (talk) 17:18, 28 December 2014 (PST)

It's stated on the page for the Horace. ClockworkSpirit2343 17:30, 28 December 2014‎ (PST)

Mm, yeah, as the page Horace says, it was acquired from the RPS support program. I'm not an expert on this kind of thing, but given that the hat is already tradable I'd assume it's no longer available. SandalcladPeasant (talk) 19:17, 28 December 2014 (PST)SandalcladPeasant

Well it's stated now so it's all good c: It Twurts,doesn't it? (talk) 09:52, 29 December 2014 (PST)
