This is great. If Valve didn't want people to remove the scope they would have not made this possible.

no this is totally unnatural and way overpowered, if they wanted this in game they would allow you to turn it on/off in the options...there is no doubt in my mind that this will be patched if it becomes well known beyond these forums

also no point in using it or getting used to it since its not allowed in league play

I'm sure pvh is being entirely serious

The exploit is whatever. Its almost funny it took someone this long to find it.

Its kind of irresponsible disclosure though. Even a quick email to valve detailing the bug and stating a date that you intend to publicly disclose is good enough. That gives them enough time to fix the bug before it becomes a major headache for AC teams around the world.

If they don't fix it before public disclosure, that's their fault as long as you give them reasonable time (Month or two). This sort of principle is pretty important to security research, and while we aren't security professionals, we can at least apply a bit of common sense to these situations.

All valve has to do is make it impossible to change the position of the scope overlay, whether they care or not is something else. If they care about it, it will be changed back fairly soon since it's so simple.

This isn't even the tip of the iceberg.

heh

i hope this doesn't involve them removing huds or something retarded

If they do that, I'm so done

maybe I'm an optimist but the absolute worst thing I can picture would be no custom animations. i hope they just seperate the sniper overlay from the hud files so it can't be edited by anything hud-related.

An update just go pushed through, lets pray and hold hands

edit;
huh, I downloaded an update but nothing happened lol, and there isn't even an update, tf2 pls

Oh apperently there was an update, but it was totally crap

Update today definitely didn't fix this

http://www.reddit.com/r/tf2/comments/2skhfp/tf2_update_for_11515/

Fixed in today's update, it seems. Can anyone confirm?

it's fixed

Could you still use the variant from clean TF2?

just play the game normally lol

He's just asking, doesn't mean he wants to use it

I just found out about the update 30 minutes ago.

Here's a fix ;)

event ScopeRemoval
{
	Animate HudScope Position	"9999 9999" Linear 0.0 0.0
	Animate HudScope Position	"9999 9999" Linear 0.0 100.0
	RunEvent ScopeRemovalLoop 0.1
}
event ScopeRemovalLoop
{
	RunEvent ScopeRemoval 0.1
}

For the first step where you paste a bit into hudanimations_tf.txt, paste this instead.
Step 3 with the script in autoexec is now pointless, since because of timings, running the animation on startup does nothing and you need to hit someone once.

Here's to the hopes that valve fixes it right by disconnecting it from the hud and reloading the material upon joining a server, instead of just constantly trying to put it back in the same position whenever an animation isn't currently moving it (idk why).

event ScopeRemoval
{
	Animate HudScope Position	"9999 9999" Linear 0.0 0.0
	Animate HudScope Position	"9999 9999" Linear 0.0 100.0
	RunEvent ScopeRemovalLoop 0.1
}
event ScopeRemovalLoop
{
	RunEvent ScopeRemoval 0.1
}

nice

confirmed

	RunEvent ScopeRemovalLoop 0.1

big man jarateking already giving valve a run for their money with the lazy hotfix

event ScopeRemoval
{
	Animate HudScope Position	"9999 9999" Linear 0.0 0.0
	Animate HudScope Position	"9999 9999" Linear 0.0 100.0
	RunEvent ScopeRemovalLoop 0.1
}
event ScopeRemovalLoop
{
	RunEvent ScopeRemoval 0.1
}

can you actually stop, shit is blatantly cheating

shhh dont listen to the haters keep fighting the good fight

You're really good at making valve look dumb.

all things aside, your screenshot looks oddly beautiful

What HUD is that? Just rays with the ZimHUD points?

Yes, that's correct. The colour of Ammo in Clip in that shot is 255 42 130 255.

event ScopeRemoval
{
	Animate HudScope Position	"9999 9999" Linear 0.0 0.0
	Animate HudScope Position	"9999 9999" Linear 0.0 100.0
	RunEvent ScopeRemovalLoop 0.1
}
event ScopeRemovalLoop
{
	RunEvent ScopeRemoval 0.1
}

does this only work if you hit someone? whenever I die or the round restarts, the scope comes back but if I do damage to somebody then it gets removed again.
