I'd tell you if I could fucking figure out how to install it

on a related note, free craft hat for anyone who helps me in that regard <3

It's not an unfair advantage, anyone can use it.

Personally I think it takes you away from the game and just gives you one more thing to focus on. Also you could always bump up your volume and just hear the calls instead of reading captions.

by that mentality, wouldn't openplugin not be an unfair advantage?

you should just be able to drag and drop closecaption_english.dat and closecaption_english.txt into your hud's resource folder then add closecaption 1 into console

It's part of the game.

Project-7 public isnt an unfair advantage

It's no different than using a custom HUD. Although alot of the information it displays isn't that helpful as the range on the closed captions isnt that far.

not really, i think its confusing.

Not really. I use them, but 90% of the time I forget about them completely. That and it only seems to work about half the time.

I'm reasonably confident I followed those instructions properly, but my game just crashes whenever I choose a class.

I'll survive without them. Looks really cool though.

it is when they made a specific patch to warn people they were going to get vacbanned if they continued using it lol

while the advantage might be of a different magnitude, it's the same principle of colorblind mode putting a jarate icon above their head vs just dousing them in piss. it's a feature that came with the game and i think it's fine to take advantage of it

If it's op then why do so few people use it?

YA GOT ME

I should clarify that I made this thread because my friend in mumble was saying how its unfair because it gives an advantage over people who don't use it. I think it's comparable to a HUD with bigger damage numbers or better targetids, just a better way of giving information that you could pretty much already have.

The argument against this was that the 'range is too large' and you get the information for practically free, without peeking. It was also brought up that you shouldn't have to download something to be better than another player (but again, this is kinda similar to what huds are).

I'm just curious to see what people think because 32hz was too afraid to make this thread himself

if you put some effort into listening to the ingame sound, you can usually hear anything the closed captions would tell you that's still mildly important.

Closed captions aren't completely "reliable". Sure it says "Medic masked call!" or "Medic called!/has uber!" or whatever, but that doesn't mean it's true. It just means the medic said that, and anything the closed captions pick up you can always hear. "Soldier's hurt!" is also another example. Your teammates can easily call that out if you don't already hear the grunt.

Personally, I just find it to be another distraction on the field, I mean after all you DO have to LOOK at it, and those moments can mean missing a shot or not.

Overall, no harm no foul in using it. It's all preference. Some benefit a lot from it while others don't like it for whatever reason. Bottom line, in my opinion, it's not "overpowered"

also i never mentioned making a thread about it, you mentioned it and continued to leave mumble 15 minutes later for unknown reasons like you always do

While I'm not necessarily agreeing with the notion that CC are OP, a small amount of people using something does not amount to it not being OP. That's silly logic.

OP, fuck the deaf

why are you such an elitist prick

CC has been around for years now, right? Didn't Gmang's HUD have them built in or something? Or was that a custom CC system? I don't even remember anymore it's been so long.

Counterthesis: Is there anyway to ban the use of closed captions. If not, than the argument if it's overpowered or considered "cheating" is irrelevant.

Wait, does this display decloak?
