I don't mind offering one-time donations to people who put in effort toward providing services for this dead game that even the devs don't care about anymore, but offering a subscription service for a "premium" version of a config just seems awful silly to me. There's also some questionable things like you discouraging individualistic fine-tuning of your config, the fact that you expect me to read all that text above this post, etc. I don't think providing a custom config is a service for this game that's worth subscribing to, personally. If you were to ask for a donation of maybe a key or a couple of bucks, I'd be down with that. Subscribing just doesn't seem like a logical choice to make in this situation. The fact that you'd offer it kind of actually makes me not even want to use your config even for free.
what the fuck?
mastercoms is great. this is the dumbest, most petty controversy ive ever seen. i cant believe anyone actually thinks that way. god damn.

morwannegThere's also some questionable things like you discouraging individualistic fine-tuning of your config
By making modifications to the config compatible with the frequent updates to it through custom.cfg, and providing ways to easily customize quality levels, I'm discouraging fine tuning? I'd really like to know how you came to this conclusion.

I'm responding to other people's posts. With words. There were a lot of things to respond to, so there are a lot of words. There's no expectation for you to read anything, nor for you to post here. But I appreciate your feedback.

Honestly, looking back, it seems like you had one complaint but wanted to make a list so you stuck on another thing for no reason and then an etc.

I'm happy to accept one time payments. You'll still contribute to the machine learning service and receive the reward of real-time prediction for hardware specific recommendations. The servers for this real-time prediction cost money. So you pay money to get those features. There's no way to provide it for free. That's why it's "locked" behind a paywall.
morwannegThe fact that you'd offer it kind of actually makes me not even want to use your config even for free.
The config isn't going to get worse or more restricted to make room for paid features. In fact, quite the opposite is happening. Trends found in the data analysis will allow me to improve the config for everyone. It's just the hardware specific recommendation service that's tailored for each individual system costs more money, so people have to pay for it to get access for it. The payment also goes towards the lower cost general processing that will be used for aforementioned trend finding.

albais there a more detailed explanation what the "Mouse Tweaks" actually does?

Menachemwhat the fuck?
mastercoms is great. this is the dumbest, most petty controversy ive ever seen. i cant believe anyone actually thinks that way. god damn.
This is the weirdest overreaction ever. All I did was offer my opinion. I would not be willing to pay for the "privilege" of being datamined, and according to the survey, it seems most other people wouldn't as well. I'm also not willing to use a config created by someone who wants people to pay them to be datamined. That goes far above and beyond what I would expect from what should be a simple graphics config. The only one trying to make this a " controversy" appears to be you.

Yes benchmarking is datamining I'm sorry for this privacy breach.
But seriously, I'm not sure where this sudden additional concern comes from for "datamining" (avoiding any discussion of previous points). If the information you're providing makes sense for the service, then it's totally fine. It's not like getting hardware specs and FPS data is a breach/overreach of privacy when it is being used for how different hardware runs on TF2. It's literally the exact data I need to analyze and improve the config.

Even though you put in alot of effort into the config and you definitely deserve donations for your work so far, I have my doubts about whether or not machine learning is the way to go. Quite alot of people use your config so you can get quite some data, but your config contains hundreds of commands and there are tens/hundreds of different hardware setups. Do you have any current data about how many people use your config installer, and do you think you will get enough data to actually find significant links between optimised commands and hardware specs? Obviously you're in a way better position to know if it's possible, I'm just wondering about the possible results.
Again, in theory it's a nice way to improve your config and I really do think you deserve the donations, but if you're gonna promise some extra small performance improvements for donators in this way and pay for servers yourself, it would be nice to have some certainty about the actual results from using machine learning.

Well that's the next step in this process. First I wanted to see what the community thought and see what the funding possibilities were. Now I'll be adding a few new optional data features to the app to determine the engineering viability of mastercomfig+.

I voted no for mastercomfig+ because I'm poor and stingy not because of "datamining" in a graphics config.
Also I like how you say you won't read the text and then you say some stuff that has clearly been addressed in the posts above. From what I've read mastercomfig+ is basically a bonus incentive for donating, it's more than just paying exclusively for a service. If you really fear that this config will datamine you and nothing can change your mind, well, you can still donate and just don't use mastercomfig+.

Can someone explain why there is a tick box and a sliding button? And what they do? Many thanks in advance!

The checkbox on the left controls whether or not you want to set that custom setting. The thing to the right is what you're setting it to.
If for example 3D sky is unchecked, then it will use whatever your quality level for world detail sets 3D sky to. If it is checked, it will use the value from the slider.

fizzwhizI don't have access to TF2 currently and therefore can't actually fully use the app, so can you explain how the config installation process works, if the app is not a VPK generator? Say if I don't need the optimisations provided by the miscellaneous non-config files, would it be feasible to just compile all the desired settings in one plain .cfg file?
Download the VPK from the release. Then there's also the dynamic cvars that get written to client-custom.cfg: https://github.com/mastercoms/mastercomfig/blob/dev/config/dynamic.json

The manual option to enable backpack borders didn't work. I'm using Medium preset.
There's a combination of selections that makes the client-custom have repeated values, such as r_renderoverlayfragment 1 and r_overlayfadeenable 0. Not sure if the default Medium has them already on those values, and using ☑ Art Decals *on* / ☑ Art Decal Fade *off* gets it written again on the cfg.
Would be nice to have an indicator on presets that have custom settings after opening the tab. Didn't know where the sliders go, comparing to the previous iteration.
The button to default presets restores the options that you change through a menu, but those with checkboxes keep their settings regardless.

I'll look into this.
What do you mean by repeated valies?
Whar indicator would be good? Is the current one that says "Custom settings" not enough?
Will fix in the next update.

Hi, it's a great resource for others if you could explain your problem and the solution, since other people may encounter the same or similar problem. If you're embarrassed about it, then you can just send me a PM.

Any remark, from a symbol to a tiny text next to the title. If a new user opens the dropdown for an option which doesn't have custom settings, it would be same for him to assume that the others are the same; with Low to Ultra to pick and that's it.
You could move them off of the second menu (custom settings). Since the user already opened the tab for that setting, it wouldn't be cluttered. Given how the tabs open up and their height, the custom settings part can go unnoticed.

That's because you're not supposed to edit the vpk directly. If you want to edit your config, follow the procedures on github https://github.com/mastercoms/mastercomfig#4-custom-configs. Alternatively, if you want to see all the commands and the comments that explain what they do, go here https://github.com/mastercoms/mastercomfig/blob/release/config/mastercomfig/cfg/comfig.cfg.

Also thanks for the suggestion! I will try to make the custom settings section more visible. But also keep in mind that every module is going to have custom settings eventually.
