Hey,

ultiduo_assembly is a small project I have been working on for the past week or so as a way to learn a bit more about mapping. It is designed to play more like the original ultiduo map than baloo and based on the few playtests I have done, it was received fairly well. Would love to get some feedback and suggestions on the general layout as I will probably hold off on any major detailing and visuals until I have a solid layout built.

Thanks in advance

You probably could remove it on a HUD level but it would be far easier to just use the command tf_contract_progress_show 0

?

bump, my school schedule is actually far more relaxed than I anticipated. I should be able to play normal scrims times for sure.

That match actually had already gotten pushed back one time maybe twice, I remember talking with Walka saying he could not make it on the default time so we pushed it back and then Dagger kinda went MIA (I think his power was out?). If I remember correctly Killing would not move back that match again cause the deadline for the next playoff match was the next day so his hand was somewhat forced. But in this situation I see no reason why they could not have moved back the match, seems pretty lame to using ffling as an excuse to get someone to move your match back.

http://www.teamfortress.tv/thread/4134/how-to-use-multiple-hud-crosshairs

Using this method would probably be the easiest to set up and toggle on/off on a class basis as I used to use minmodes to swap crosshairs and the freeze when turning it on/off got pretty annoying pretty quickly. If you wanted to disable the dot you could use minmodes by having "visible_minmode" "0" and "visible" 1" set for the dot and "visible_minmode" "1" and "visible" "0"set for the konrwings but I would really advise against using achievement crosshairs since if you have it change minmodes automatically on class change you will freeze a bunch when swapping spawns and such.

edit: fug got ninja'd forgot to hit post button

:~)

:~)

Stalin's squad is p solid right now and could be much better if they picked up someone who is willing to be a lot more vocal on the flank.

but are you listening to what he's reading?

Did very well his first season and I could see him easily making playoffs with the right team.

you can bounce the medium ammo packs around

edit: skipped a page when skimming through and didnt see someone already posted, new scoreboard values could be really cool though as they could make allow for hiding of shit like nemesis and doms as well as killstreaks?

bumping this as matches are over and I should now be able to play pretty much any of the normal times.

Personal edit of broesel 2.5 w/ a lot of stuff that will probably not work on anything but 1920x1080. There's a pretty good chance a lot of stuff is broken on it but it should work fine for most things, there is a changelog in there somewhere so you can see most of what I have changed.

ry4ntk linked both of the major resources needed to edit the particles before in the thread

https://www.dropbox.com/s/8hebz96ztx128nl/tf2_vice.zip?dl=0
https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Talk:List_of_TF2_Particles

You'll need to find the ctx file for the weapon you want to edit particles on and decompile it into a txt file, from there just open the file and look for the following things:

"ExplosionEffect"		"electrocuted_red_flash"
	"ExplosionPlayerEffect"		"electrocuted_blue_flash"
	"ExplosionWaterEffect"		"electrocuted_red_flash"

I explained what each of those do in an earlier post but you'll just need to replace the particle with one from the link earlier, keep in mind that a lot of the particles will not work properly and a bunch will not even render.

The sniper dot is a vtf image. Even if you could attach a particle file to it somehow the materials folder is checked by pure and would not work on sv_pure 2 servers.

Tentatively looking for a team for s20 as I will most likely be staying on my current roster to finish out the season to ensure that the roster lives for next season. I feel like I could play either soldier role at around an mid IM level, but I consider myself somewhat stronger on roamer as a majority of my experience is on it. I should be available from around 9:00 EST to a bit past 11 Sunday-Thursday depending on what my school schedule winds up being like this semester.

Past Experience:
ESEA-O s15 - Catface Party (Pocket)
ESEA-O s16 - Ducks per Interface (Roamer)
ESEA-O s17 - Wu-Tang Club (Roamer)
ESEA-IM s18 - Wu-Tang Club (Roamer)
ESEA-IM s19 - Wu-Tang Club (Pocket)
