you can now choose from 9 different hitsounds, which is sorta convenient for new players.

edit: most of them are bad

Wondering if the max and min hitsound volume settings in the menu will overwrite what we already have set

They do, my autoexec has tf_dingaling_pitchmindmg 150, but the max value for that slider is only 100 in the settings. The max that is allowed in console is also only 100 now

Well atleast be able to change the colour and outline, they should also bring back custom crosshairs, without needing to use a loophole

This now means you can use different hitsounds on different classes, just add tf_dingaling_effect (0-9) to your class.cfg
Also can someone who is better with the file structure figure out how to change the new hitsounds to be custom hitsounds as well?

I just tested it in game on bots, but 3's from across the map sound the same whether or not I'm on 150 or 100. Definitely wasn't a scientific test though.

Can you piggyback on this to have 9 custom hitsounds?

I personally like Beepo and Squasher,but the rest of them are either too quiet or simply not good enough too hear it every time you hit someone.

Also i might upload a video on the hitsounds later but who gives a shit.
