may good frames and bug fixes come to you

Hello everyone, I have found a fix for that longstanding bug where animations linger after death for custom HUDs. For example, low and overhealed HP or low ammo effects. All you need to do to fix this is run stop events for these animations when the HudSnapShotReminderIn event is called. This will reset those animations on freezecam.

For example, the fix for 7hud was (remember to add the default snapshot reminder code unless you've changed that as well):

event HudSnapShotReminderIn
{
    Animate ScreenshotPanel Position "c-83 -50" Linear 0.0 0.001
    Animate ScreenshotPanel Position "c-83 13" Spline 0.001 0.2
    RunEvent HudHealthDyingPulseStop 10.0
    RunEvent HudHealthBonusPulseStop 10.0
    RunEvent HudLowAmmoPulseStop 10.0
    RunEvent HudMedicChargedStop 10.0
}

The RunEvents depend on what your HUD modifies, but I feel like these are the most popular/common animations HUDs use so it should be enough for most HUDs.

Well, I've gotten 10fps more on this config with maxperformance than I got with Comanglia's. Also, I think it is better optimized.

However, I'm obviously pretty biased so might be useful to test for yourself or find other people's thoughts.

love your hud, sevin!! M<3 it is amazing and beautiful

bunt i have one problem: when i die with modifer (hurt or overhealed) the health bar stays on that efeect adn i have to do hud_reladshceme to fix it.

i dint test have time to test with the latest update,sortry if you fixed

So you still experience the issue?

Oh, really sorry!! I wasn't thinking about your previous post. That's really strange though since I thought batch files just ran cmd with your commands. I'm not really aware of any solutions for this, as I'm not really a Windows person.

Sorry again for my probably frustratingly repetitive reply.

Hi, could you try a higher splitrate

net_splitrate 4

and disable the queued packet thread:

net_queued_packet_thread 0

add launch option

-NoQueuedPacketThread

Ah, so this a problem with Windows. I thought only Steam had the character limit, but I didn't know Windows has this limit as well.

I guess you just can't make the shortcut and instead have to use a batch file.

You can use cmd or make a shortcut to launch the TF2 executable (hl2.exe) directly but remember to add

-steam -game tf

to the launch options.

Maybe you can use cmd to run steam.exe -applaunch.

Is this in a local or online game? Does it happen when you use comp or no presets?

I was getting an error in console when joining a server.

New VERY experimental launch options

// -disable_d3d9_hacks : disables Direct3D 9 hacks?
// -64OS : 64-bit OS mode for some components??
// -menupaintduringinit : paints menu early in init??
// -precachefontchars : caches fonts?
// -mpi_worker : enable worker thread for MPI??
// -no_compressed_verts : ??
// -disable_matsurf_noculls : ??
// -forcenovsync : force disables VSync?
// -nod3d9ex : disables Direct3D 9Ex - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ee890072(v=vs.85).aspx
// -noglslcontrolflow : disables GLSL control flow - https://www.khronos.org/opengl/wiki/Core_Language_(GLSL)#Control_flow

Please tell me if there's any effects for these.

I think it's all based on what Chris said about launch options years ago.

http://etf2l.org/forum/customise/topic-16829/

Not sure why he thought that, but oh well.

Well, it launches with the title "Team Fortress 2 - OpenGL" so we know it at least does something. And people using NVidia cards at least have seen a few frames increase.

thanks so much!!! <3

I would say it's slightly. I think lighting, shadow quality and antialiasing have the biggest improvements oveer it.

Where did you read this? -high is not going to make TF2 have higher priority than OS level tasks like input. I actually get more responsiveness and very slightly better FPS on my i7-870, but I won't say that it's good for every CPU.

Thank you all for being such a great community to work with!! and thank you for nice words <3
