lod_transitiondist i believe

you have some loose & undocumented files; i mean, in servercontrols.cfg:

you straight up ignored this, and nothing points to recommended.cfg either
your regenerate.wav sound replacement (not essential since the sound is actually useful in some circumstances) isn't preloaded so it won't even work on valve servers
you don't include any instructions regarding the included crosshair materials or config.cfg - will a newer player intrinsically know how to set these up?
also, is an overheal particle replacement essential?

those are just some side-criticisms, the main bulk of the issue comes in the autoexec.cfg, which i've commented on here

pyroland voices are filtered in real-time, and afaik there's no commands to toggle this

cc_captiontrace 0

could do with some audio normalisation, some clips were markedly louder than the ones before them (0:42)

in autoexec.cfg

r_shadows 1			// enable shadows
r_shadowrendertotexture 1	// enable two-mat shadows (playershadows instead of circular shadows)
r_shadowmaxrendered 32		// max number of hq shadows

for your toggle key, just modify r_shadows, enabling r_shadowrendertotexture causes a matsys reload

bindtoggle <key> r_shadows

tested working on dxlevel 81

try replacing the whole file with this, should be in your hud's style

in your hud folder, open resource\ui\freezepanel_basic.res and replace the "itempanel" section with

	"itempanel"
	{
		"ControlName"	"CItemModelPanel"
		"fieldName"		"itempanel"
		"xpos"			"r200"
		"ypos"			"0"
		"zpos"			"10"
		"wide"			"190"
		"tall"			"100"
		"visible"		"0"
		"bgcolor_override"		"255 255 255 0"
		"PaintBackgroundType"	"0"

		"model_ypos"		"10"
		"model_center_x"	"1"
		"model_wide"		"90"
		"model_tall"		"60"

		"text_xpos"		"10"
		"text_ypos"		"10"
		"text_wide"		"170"
		"text_center"	"1"

		"max_text_height"	"100"
		"padding_height"	"10"
		"resize_to_text"	"1"
		"text_forcesize"	"2"

		"itemmodelpanel"
		{
			"fieldName"		"itemmodelpanel"
			"use_item_rendertarget" "0"
			"useparentbg"		"1"
		}

		"ItemLabel"
		{	
			"ControlName"	"Label"
			"fieldName"		"ItemLabel"
			"font"			"DefaultSmall"
			"xpos"			"10"
			"ypos"			"3"
			"zpos"			"1"
			"wide"			"270"
			"tall"			"9"
			"autoResize"	"0"
			"pinCorner"		"0"
			"visible"		"1"
			"enabled"		"1"
			"labelText"		"#FreezePanel_Item"
			"textAlignment"	"Left"
			"dulltext"		"0"
			"brighttext"	"0"
		}
	}		

if the itempanel section is not present you can go ahead and just append that to the file
might look a little fucked since this is just ripped straight from stock hud so you might have to play around with the values a little after that

did you follow

if yes you may need to preload the materials into mainmenuoverride.res to bypass sv_pure if you're using it, though this shouldn't cause them to appear black

crosshairs are a crutch, keep my screen clean thanks
