I don't know if this is spread across other HUD's, but is there any fixing that can be done to the item previewing from the SCM – for both skins and war paints on bastHUD?

Edit: Fixed by Hypnogod!

Yes, it does not. But most physical items (not a shoutout or name in credits) contribute just a percentage to the prize pool. Still, from that explanation, a $25 item grants the $25 medal. My question is does the shipping counts as well.

Does the shipping fee counts? Bought $80 in stuff, then I saw the medals, and just threw in another lanyard, but it'll only hit $100 if considering the shipping. Really cool stuff, btw. Hope it drives the prize pool way up!

We know for a while that those numbers were inflated... And imo, this latest update being a major flop (in my books) didn't help TF2's case. Sure, we got a lot of fixes, but given that it took more than a year for a major update to hit, this was no gift to the player base. And while a lot of requested bug fixes were put to the side, we got a lot of unrequested "improvements".

Until Valve gets off their pedestal and starts being less restrictive about a lot of things* and letting we only play the version of the game they want us to play, things will just go downhill (sure, it's their product, but it's been on our hands for many years, and a lot of popular features have been stripped over the years).

* I.e. mods, sprays, quickplay, community servers etc. A few changes had some reasoning behind it, but didn't warrant being stripped/blocked. Just improve on it. For example, TF2, just like TFC and HL, have some default sprays. So Valve let us customize them. Then the porn/furry sprays started to appear. So no more sprays on Valve servers. Overwatch has official sprays, and they're really high quality, like everything else. So, in typical Valve fashion, more stuff for them to pour into cases and get their $$. And hire a bigger dev team (as if money was the issue).

How would I go onto adding that arrow in the killstreak feed in the players spectator view? There's the player's name and just the killstreak number below it. I'd like to add that arrow as well. I looked into HUDKillstreakNotice, but it seems there's no standalone "arrow" snippet.

Thank you!

Granted that my HUD is updated and uses hudanimations_manifest so that the default stuff doesn't have to be listed there, there are no "chat" entries in my hudanimations_custom. I suppose I could just copy the default chat stuff from the source and change what I wanted, right? Do you happen to know where I can extract that snippet? Improved Default HUD doesn't have it, and the github that tracks the core files isn't working.

The borders did have a fillcolor which used a custom name and it wasn't referenced on the clientscheme, thanks!

* On Valve servers. Why the heck.

Any helping hand?

There was a discussion a while back (amongst many) that drew the conclusion that it was best for projectile-oriented gameplay to use cl_interp 0.0152;cl_interp_ratio 1 and cl_interp 0.0333;cl_interp_ratio 2.2 for hitscan oriented. Since always, most cfg's as default set the cl_interp_ratio to 1, but yours now argues that 2 is the most optimal choice. Having that in mind, would you advise onto sticking with 2 for all scenarios and just changing the cl_interp?

45 and counting...

Oh, I see... Valve's spaghetti code, I suppose. Thanks either way!

THANK YOU!

A minor annoyance: I have set the console to be opened as I launch the game. Sometimes I open listen servers to practice from there, amongst other things. At the moment it's on background - as I can't type anything on it - having to join any server to bring it forward.

I could use the menu's "engine showconsole", or even change it to "toggleconsole", but it didn't used to be this way. Every time somewhere else is clicked, the console's lost to the background. Any workaround to this layered mechanic?

I'd guess not, since "TargetNameLabel" has just "%targetname%". But I have very limited HUD knowledge, so maybe someone knows better.

There's a "HudChat" in HUDLayout, but changing that as well didn't cut it.

You're looking for hud_achievement_tracker and hud_achievement_count. If they are already set to >1, maybe "HudAchievementTracker" on HUDLayout has visible/enabled set to 0.
