Unfortunately this tweak to get high quality item models conflicts with the 'skins' models shown in the modelpanels :(

The Crussader's Crossbow is still missing it's original attribute:

Trying to fill a killstreak fabricator or chemistry set will crash the game (any hud).

I've contacted/asked admins to keep me in their loop, but so far I always have to generate the whitelists myself and update the presets as soon as UGC (or any league) announces their map pool and whitelists.

I'd suggest adding a comment about the cl_lagcompensation to disable this when in a LAN environment.

It might affect performance when you have loads of items and start dragging items across pages on slower pcs, but in the loadoutpanels it shouldn't make much difference, except really improve item images when on really shitty configs apparently :D

I'm looking at the images and backpack in original size, for me the item images look so much better after adding this line. Here's a side-by-side cutout of the Vaccinator in the item selection screen, I hope these show the differences.

Higher quality Item images in inventory & loadouts

While going through all available hud files for TF2 trying to make my own I stumbled upon a line in the 'new item found' panel that makes item images of the items found/received/traded display in high quality. Using this line in backpackpanels, loadout and item selection screens makes high quality item images show up (has possible more uses)

Screenshots with comparison

Find 'modelpanels_kv' and then the section 'itemmodelpanel' where you add: "inventory_image_type" "1"

Files to modify if interested in high quality item images:
- resource/ui/econ/backpackpanel.res (Backpack)
- resource/ui/classloadoutpanel.res (Loadout)
- resource/ui/itemselectionpanel.res (Item selection)
- resource/ui/freezepanel_basic.res (Death Cam)
- resource/ui/ItemQuickSwitch.res (Weapon Quick Switching)
- resource/ui/hudinspectpanel.res ('inspect')
- resource/ui/spectator.res (Spectating)
- resource/ui/spectatortournament.res (Specating in Tournament)

Simplified HUD file contents to improve image quality

"Resource/UI/Econ/BackpackPanel.res" {
 "backpack_panel" {
	"modelpanels_kv"{
		"itemmodelpanel" {
			"inventory_image_type" "1" // High quality item image
		}
	}
 }
}

*rip formatting

I mentioned this earlier in a steam conversation, but not sure if it made it to the list of suggestions:
[*] Colors/fonts in hud files that come with the download in rgba values or at least values available in a default ClientScheme.res

[*] Disabling ring/(item) notification sounds/notifications (if this isn't already possible)
[*] Being able to disable the domination/revenge sounds being played when using the 'local player' feature

Nice config Admirable :D

find statusspec

in console to find more/all convars or is there a command to list all in chat?

Some questions I'd like to see answered (if NDA allows :P)

• Will Team Fortress 2 be ported to Source2? (and if so, before or after MM is introduced)
  
• Are the custom maps currently in the etf2l/ugc/esea seasons going to be added to the game/'custom' maps in MM?
  
• Are TF2Center/TF2Pickup/TF2Pug going to be obsolete or become the alternative for 'non ranked' play?
  
• Whitelists/maps/configs and server settings are going to be consistent with leagues/lans?
  
• What maps/gamemodes will have matchmaking and will old(er) maps be updated to support/work with competitive play?
  
• Is hitreg ever going to be fixed for melee weapons?
  
• Is Valve going to address any matchfixing issues if betting/saloon.tf reach CSGOlounge like proportions?
  
• How is MM going to be monetized, ticket system like Mann vs. Machine, skins/stickers, team cosmetics, ....?
  
• What about scripts and custom huds and an in-game P-REC in matchmaking?

After checking this hud out for the 21:9 issues I found that the easiest fix is just to make the bars/elements the desired width and then "xpos" "c-(wide/2)" and be more consistent with the relative to center offsets.

MvM upgrade icons for classes should be the same x/y positions as the counters to fix upgrade status in class selection.

Killstreak icons and head/revenge crit counters (diamondback/frontier justice/eyelander) overlap on the hud on wider screens, using negative (centered) offsets instead of the 1000 wide elements should fix this for all resolutions/aspect ratios.

Very impressed how this uses #base files to extend on existing hud files, might use some of this in my own modification of the default hud.

scrap.tf to the rescue for the random unlocks!

You are correct, plugins are needed to disable them or change them into other weapons, whitelists can't disable stock weapons (you can block renamed or strange stock weapons though).

Which one is it?

Next weekend somewhat more restricted matches whitelists banning broken weapons and taunts?!

I really hope the invited players actually own unlocks and haven't all crafted them to metal :P
