what was wrong with coalplant?

didn't get to play it much, just wondering

don't think so. maybe if you open it in vtfedit there might be something there, but i'm pretty sure you can't through the hud files

probably more trouble than it's worth

basically you have to use a vtf crosshair
see:

http://teamfortress.tv/forum/thread/12383-real-custom-crosshairs-from-ozfortress

if you have a hud crosshair you want to use, you can try installing the font so you can type it in photoshop, then save it as a vtf

make two vtfs, one for blue team and one for red
follow the instructions in the first link, except replace the code it says to use with this:

	"Crosshair"
	{
		"ControlName"	"CTFImagePanel"
		"fieldName"		"PlayerStatusClassImageBG"
		"xpos"			"c-64"
		"ypos"			"c-64"
		"zpos"			"3"
		"wide"			"128"
		"tall"			"128"
		"visible"		"1"
		"enabled"		"1"
		"scaleImage"	"1"
		"image"				"replay/thumbnails/[crosshair_filename]"	//shouldn't matter whether you put red or blue file here
		"teambg_1"			"replay/thumbnails/[crosshair_filename]"	//same as above
		"teambg_2"      "replay/thumbnails/[crosshair_filename_red]"
        "teambg_3"      "replay/thumbnails/[crosshair_filename_blue]"
	}

(insert the name of your vtf files)

quote from another thread

yeah it was posted

seems pretty cool. maybe add a quick reference thing at the top that just lists all the channels with a small note for the skill level and requirements (mumble, irc), then they can scroll down for more info

also something about newbie mixes?

he's talking about himself on mix
edit: 13 seconds :(

nope, you can put a team coloured bg on it though

You should tell him what YOLO means, seems like he's having trouble with that one.

I'd assume the same way as the others except in the net_graph file (don't know what file off the top of my head but you could find it by searching for that edit which makes the text smaller).
Problem is you'd either have to disable the graph or have it turning off and on with your crosshair.

minmode
net_graph
achievement tracker
class portrait

can all be used to have different crosshairs

imo the problem here is that maps give one team an advantage. If the defending team /wasn't/ at a disadvantage they would be just as responsible for making plays/trying to break the hold, instead of being too scared to try since they're already at behind. You could try things like equal spawn times, cap times, spawn to cap distances + map design that allows a lot of peeking and trading damage, and encourages holding close so there's lots of opportunities to make plays.

The problem with removing all advantages though is that obviously the winning team can't win as fast. The reason we have short spawn times on offense, forward spawns, decreasing captimes etc in the first place is so that teams can get momentum and keep the game flowing. idk, it's a tough problem

^^^^exactly right.

If you encourage offence it forces the other team to play more defensively to compensate, and that sucks too. A shot clock works in basketball because you can't turn your players into giant walls that block the hoop whenever you're on d, in tf2 you have a lot of ways to turtle hard if you really want to.

yeah, unless you're doing the combining functions unit I'm not sure what that would be. Are you sure you /need/ to find the equation?

what course is this for?
