try changing the x and y values to 0. I think that should fix it.
Width and Height should be fine.
If it doesn't, try 32 for x and y and see what changes. Shouldn't be too hard to find the correct values
(no in-game way to reload this. You'll need to restart your tf2 each time you save the changes to the txt file)

You work fast!
Did you also fix it redirecting people who don't use adblock? Because that happens every second time I try to open the lobby page and that's also been happening for over a year.
How about people getting autorep'd because the plug-in incorrectly detects people offclassing after they switch back to the right class? Got banned twice in a row for that last time I tried playing centers. Has been happening ever since the no-offclass option was added.

Also the last post in this thread was 9 months ago. You could've just not necro'd and it wouldn't have been bumped to the top again

define the "weird shape"

If it's purple/black checkers you messed up the name of the crosshair somewhere (check the name in the txt file, check the vtf name, check the vmt name, check the crosshair name inside the vmt file)

If it's an off center crosshair that is cut off or duplicated you messed up the crosshair coordinates in the txt file. If the VTF file is 64x64 make sure to change the txt file coordinates to reflect that

No. This is what using VTF crosshairs for custom crosshairs does. It's also what the smaller explosions mod uses except it changes a particle name instead of a crosshair coordinate within the same file.
I've been using this method for 2 years now. It works on all sv_pure settings

"cl_crosshair_file default" looks ugly and is bigger than the scattergun's cl_crosshair_file "". You can make it work with a simple script though if you don't mind

Since you know how to use vtf crosshairs, alternatively do this:
Open tf_weapon_grenadelauncher.txt
replace the crosshair section with

This will make cl_crosshair_file "" crosshair for the grenade launcher the same as the scattergun's

I was new and struggled to go positive in pubs.
Tired of feeding on backburner pyro I disconnect from my local hightower pub and open the server browser.
I join barnblitz and decide that I will spam stickies. I had watched a competitive eXtv cast once. I had decided that I would finally abandon my backburner ways and main a good class like demo.

I start on red and make my way to the blu spawn during setup. A medic puts his faith in the baby gibus demoman I was and decides to pocket me. The gates open and I start putting down traps wherever my fov_desired 70 guides me. Our team is doing well and holds of endless waves of waddling soldiers with medics. The medic and I camp in the barn next to a baby engineer with a sentry basically placed on cart tracks.
I'm doing a lot better than expected. Maining demo isn't that bad.
I die and the sentry gun is destroyed during overtime. I look at my score. I'm 42-3. I'm excited. Demoman is amazing!
I PM the friend that got me into TF2 a few weeks before and tell him how much I enjoy the game now (I had transitioned from ps3 Call of Duty that same month. TF2 was my first PC game so I had to learn how to use M+KB. I was struggling until now)
I go to the second point and look at the scoreboard.
Everyone on the server but me has the same ping. Bot. Bot. Bot. It is everywhere.
I look back at the cart. A hatless pyro is standing still next to the cart. Pocketed by a medic standing still. The pyro is trying to put me on fire across the map. I look at my medic. His returning soulless stare takes away every bit of joy that still remained. I sink into my chair.
As I see this my friend replies.
"I'm happy you're enjoying the game!"
"Yea! :)" I reply and go offline

I exit TF2. I did not play for a couple of days. I decided not to main demoman after all.

(Shoutout to Kermit. His comment reminded me)

kritz play mentioned in brimstone's clip above

I haven't checked these with https://www.youtube.com/music_policies yet but here's some random songs from my energetic playlist

btw this is a mess of genres

I probably should've put this in a single playlist. I'm dumb. Will edit
edit: playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaqW7r3vtl7CHXp85WOUqblfUP0j2tfFr
edit2: Added more songs I initially didn't include because I wasn't sure if they were fragvid-worthy or most people already know them. Playlist went from 30 to 50 songs now. New ones are at the bottom so if you're wondering why the songs get worse and worse if you don't shuffle the playlist that's why

5 year old laptop. Hopefully upgrading to a proper setup this summer

Not realising the pistol is fully auto for probably 3 months.
I just couldn't comprehend how every scout was a god at rapid firing the pistol.
At least I can do this now http://puu.sh/z1vl4/e1a45b18e8.png

From what I understood from talking to a couple of essentials members Copenhagen Games posted by wiethoofd is that LAN.
I asked someone from Essentials about it a couple of weeks ago. They said it was still in the works (aka not canceled). They were not the ones in charge of organising it so i didn't bother them about it since. This was about 3-4 weeks ago.

If an announcement is made before the end of January I'll definitely go
