Just a quick update on the progress.

I have MAJORLY reworked the entire MvM HUD, as well as slightly tweaked a few things about the ingame hud, namely the killstreak indicator, disguise panel, and class preview. old new, old new, old new

I have reworked a bit of the inventory UI so it's a lot more polished. old new, old new

I'm right now in the progress of creating new class preview images for the inventory UI.

Once that's done, I'm going to work on the main menu a bit.

I'm going to revisit yayahud.

It was never really *my* hud. I updated it from takyahud for a couple major TF2 versions, but I didn't customize it and didn't fully like how it looked.

I'll be merging Hypnotize's updates and working from there. Not much will change ingame aside from the scoreboard, but MvM and the main menu will definitely see some work.

Expect a darker main aesthetic with a small number of bright colors to make it stand out.

Can the friends list on the main menu be collapsible? If so, will it still render when collapsed, causing lag?

EDIT: Second question - in MvMInWorldCurrency.res, the labels are set to use "%currency%". This shows up ingame as $415 or whatever. Is there a way to remove the cash sign?

mod_load_anims_async 0
mod_load_mesh_async 0
mod_load_vcollide_async 0

I wish I had known about this earlier. I'll bake this into the autoexec additions.

EDIT: Updated the OP to reflect this.

ok hol up I wasn't criticizing you, and I'm sorry you went through all that shit, that sucks man. I was bringing up the fact that the TF team patched the game and only sent out an email to hlds_announce half an hour later, when normally they send the email roughly an hour before.

Wicked hasn't put out a post because there wasn't an hlds-announce email. Again.

Two bugfix updates in two days, though... Interesting.

does this do anything?

I've set it to 80 and I'm only getting put in Singapore servers where I have 450 ping. And it's putting me there immediately. If I have a max ping setting, Valve, respect it. how difficult is this.

yeah i agree who cares if youre getting backcapped

Well, you can't say I didn't try. I was able to change the model using the same method as my viewmodels, and tested it offline with success:

However, even with preloading it didn't work in casual servers, while my viewmodels still worked there. I tried a bunch of different methods, including empty model swaps, texture edits, material edits, and finally just a straight up model edit to move the idle animation below the ground, which is what you see above.

I can give you this VPK (after putting it further in the ground) but I don't know how much good it will do. Maybe it could be preloaded into ultiduo servers or competitive ones, but Valve MM doesn't allow it.

mm... maybe.

those are separate models. there are blu/red/neutral models for the hologram, and then the point is a single model with different skins applied to achieve the different glow colors. the hologram makes up both the logo and the aura effect.

edit: sorry, it's one model for the hologram, not three. the model is changed with bodygroups but it's technically one model. the point itself is still a different model though, because they reuse the same holograms over payload capture points

it will not affect your framerate at all, but will affect the delivery of frames to your display. frames will be passed directly and will no longer need to go through your window compositor (DWM) first. so it won't improve framerate, but it will improve frame latency and possible frame jitter.

that being said, windows 10's DWM is much better than previous windows versions, so the frame delay is nowhere near as bad as windowed/borderless in win7/8 was.

The most important thing is that you can't really have player interaction with it. You can see other players, but you can't affect them. It's like a ghost racer in Mario Kart. It works well for what it does but it can't be used to work around the laws of physics (ping difference).

I like how Comanglia is the software Setsul
