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

you can just download an old release and install it if you really want to ruin your game that much

fixed the link, sorry i was an idiot when tagging the release on github and forgot a letter

considering this literally just changes a model it shouldn't cause you to crash in the first place unless there was something broken with the model (like using the pre-inferno installer after jungle inferno).

1.5.0 is going to be a huge overhaul. In the meantime I've gone ahead and merged Oblique's 1.4.0 under the 1.4.1 version number, with no other changes.

Ok so I've got the source code for the "unofficial 1.4.0" release posted by Oblique in #459. I'm not going to roll it into the main branch yet though, because I've got some ideas for improvements, which will all be rolled into 1.5.0.

Spy viewmodels can now be properly hidden
I finally figured out how the off-hand (watch slot) weapons work. They used v_models the whole time, they never switched to the c_model system. You can now disable/enable these for each *weapon*. You could choose to hide the Quackenbirdt, but keep the Invis Watch visible, despite the fact that it might seem like they're the same animations.

Full support for custom animations
I'm going to change the editing process so that each weapon will allow you to use a custom animation instead. I'll try to work with Paysus on this. You'll need to request custom animations, they'll be bundled with the installer.

More flexibility in how things are hidden
I'm going to look into weapon offsets so you can move the viewmodel rather than just hiding it. This will take some experimentation, please bear with me. Probably won't make it into 1.5.0.

thx bb

if you wanna make a pull request i'll accept

Interesting, there was no hlds_announce email for this, or at least I didn't get one. Anyone else confirm?

would be very easy to implement but won't be there until a future remake of this

Frankly it's probably just something with how the viewmodel animations are configured in the game itself that causes it to crash with animation files meant for older model versions.

I know how to rewrite the installer to be version (and for that matter, viewmodel mod) agnostic, but it's a lot of effort and I'm not sure if I'll ever spend the time doing it.

If that file still works in casual, it means preloading still works, and it's an issue with the content and not the delivery method, which can be fixed.

means literally nothing for projectile hitreg but means everything for hitscan, because animations were not properly being lag compensated, only positions were

so if a heavy taunted and his arm swung away, you wouldn't hit it if you were too laggy despite the fact that you hit it on your screen, because the server wouldn't compensate the animation for your delay

also this should fix hitreg issues in things like MvM where headshots on most robots (especially with rome mode) are completely fucked
