It only took about a million years but I've finally finished that HUD I was working on. Here are the features of it:

- Only edits the in-game elements and the scoreboard and those elements are mostly just repositions, meaning that it's both incredibly vanilla and artstyle in appearance and isn't as prone to breaking (and more importantly, if it breaks, it's easily fixed)
- Works only in minmode, meaning that you can use the regular stock HUD or this one with one cvar
- Its centered arrangement means more information, more immediately
- Uses only stock fonts, meaning that it can be packed neatly into a vpk for easy installation and deletion
- Eliminates as many unnecessary elements as possible, resulting in a clean, minimalist look while still maintaining the distinctive TF2 artstyle
- Narrower hit indications, bolder fonts, "last damage done," and other standard custom HUD tweaks

You can get it here. I'll probably submit it to GameBanana or huds.tf at some point, but I'm way too tired right now.

I got tired of custom HUDs breaking all the time after updates, never being updated, and/or changing shit that just didn't need to be changed, so I decided to tweak the stock HUD a bit. Almost nothing is changed, I just removed and rearranged a few things. Health has been changed to a number, overhealing flashes that number a light green colour, low health and ammo flash red, the backgrounds for health and ammo were removed, health and ammo were moved away from the corners and closer to the crosshair, the chat window was moved to the lower left corner, the "last damage done" thing was added next to the health, the stock backgrounds for the metal and ubercharge meters were removed and replaced with plain black versions then the meters were stuck in the center under the crosshair, and the damage numbers were made yellow. That's it. It also only works in cl_hud_minmode 1; if you turn that cvar off, you can use the regular HUD. I'll eventually get around to arranging the other meters and counters and whatnot (I only changed the killstreaks one because it's the only one I know of on the left side near the health; all the others are on the right near the ammo), but other than that, it's pretty vanilla.

Truly a higher class of player.

I thought I was the only one having this problem, I basically fucked with my connection settings in every way possible trying to fix it without luck. At least there's a solution.

thanks mr. skeltal

I don't see why you have to be a dick to oihguv, he's a nice guy.

The problem is that you listened to stabby on matters that don't concern trickstabs or Ambassador headshots. Long story short, don't bother with host_thread_mode, just set a value for "-threads" in launch options and set mat_queue_mode to 2.

tr_newbots with this config for dm, tr_aim for just practicing aim. I generally play Scout and Engineer exclusively these days so I don't have much need to practice rocket jumping or surfing or whatever. I'm also bad at the game.

He's more interested in keeping the commentary interesting than making sure to point out EVERY SINGLE LITTLE DETAIL of what's happening and/or being totally politically correct about every single thing he says. You could say he actually enjoys playing the game (shocking). He was my Med for a season in HL and his German love was much appreciated.

Also he has a decent kick serve.
