this should work although i didn't bother testing it

note that if u have any weapon script mods for the GL (vtf crosshairs, no explosions, etc), u will have to integrate it with those

wtf just remove the crosshair stuff???

you should be able to get that look with dx8 + nvidia lod bias + any low settings cfg (try mastercomfig low)
here's his steam though: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198059533951

just tested, you can indeed go up to 4096x4096. not sure about anything higher, but also not sure why one would need anything higher

vtfs in general usually have a max size of 4096x4096 (u can make them bigger but they often won't work right). unless there's something in tf2 that specifically limits the crosshair dimensions (not likely), the cap shouldn't be lower than that.

2 advices:
relax
dont drop so much

Those are both particle effects, they are not related to the hud and cannot be removed/edited/modified using hud files. To remove those effects, you would have to edit either particles_manifest.txt, or the pcf files themselves, both of which will not work in (nearly all) pure servers.

https://github.com/Hypnootize/m0rehud-Black is pretty good

r u srs

adds back the sounds from tf2's default flamethrower weapon script, the crosshair tool apparently removes them sometimes

Great thread OP, really top notch stuff

cant tell if troll or retarded

do u have sv_lan 0?

Idk if someone has already said this or not but u can just do

"MuzzleFlashParticleEffect" ""

to disable the muzzle flashes, no need to bother with any env_rain_001_mist or nutsnbolts_repair nonsense

Can be done for "BrassModel" as well to disable shell ejection.
