#10 How do I remove these red crosses in my demo files in Q/A Help

popcorpOk I finally figured it out after 2 hours of learning stuff and testing.

You have to remove 1 line in a ctx file which is
"TracerEffect" "bullet_shotgun_tracer01" (last line may differ depending on a weapon)

You have to find out which weapons cause red crosses, then you have to go (download GCFScape) to tf2_misc_dir > scripts > tf_weapon_<name> Extract it

Then you follow these steps to convert ctx into txt, open txt file and remove the line given above.

In your demo, at least the beginning of it, haven't watched the whole demo, Ambassador and Shotguns cause red crosses, so I did what I said above and removed them. http://www.mediafire.com/download/916lze989jma49a/txtfiles.rar

Put those files into \tf\custom\my_custom_stuff\scripts It all worked for me, hope it works for you too, if something happens, feel free to contact me.

holy shit, it actually worked. thank you so much man.

edit: some demo files still have some red crosses but hopefully i'll be able to fix it if i follow your instructions.

#7 How do I remove these red crosses in my demo files in Q/A Help

popcorpMind uploading the demo and giving the tick(s), I want to try looking for the solution. You can PM me if you don't want to share publicly.

thanks man, https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5lfrMN3JlHwUXR1TnFvOC1pd1k/view?usp=sharing

the crosses occur pretty much throughout the entire demo, starting at tick 800

edit: need to go to bed, i'll be back in 6 hours

#6 How do I remove these red crosses in my demo files in Q/A Help

JoltzI had this problem while playing. The solution for me was to remove the scattergun file from http://www.teamfortress.tv/25647/no-explosion-smoke-script.

first off,sorry for being a nuisance. Anyway, it seems like it is the shotgun that is the cause behind these weird particle systems. do you possibly know how one could remove the shotgun file similarly to how you removed the scattergun file?
thanks again.

#4 How do I remove these red crosses in my demo files in Q/A Help

JermHave you tried different dx9 levels?

When this happened to me with the old benchmark demo I just switched from dx8 to dx9 and it fixed itself

i tried switching between all dxlevels but it didn't make a difference sadly, thanks anyway. :I

#1 How do I remove these red crosses in my demo files in Q/A Help

I've got these weird red crosses occurring in my demo files and well, I don't want 'em.
My friend thought that this issue might have something to do with these demos not being recording on official valve servers. But I've recorded demos on the same server several times in the past without encountering this problem.

However, I found this 3 year old reddit post that might have a solution to this problem. But sadly its attached screenshot is no longer available and my tf/maps folder doesn't contain the <mapname>_particles.txt files that the OP mentions.

note: I've tried verifying the integrity of tf2's game cache but no luck there either.

So i was wondering if anyone of you guys might know where these <mapname>_particles.txt files are located or if you might know if there's a fix to this problem that is up to date.

any help is appreciated, thanks.

#3 Red crosses in demos in Videos

Phoenix21if you have custom explosions but at the time of recording you had default explosions red crosses will occur every time an explosion happens.
so removing them will be your solution.

I don't have any custom explosions but i did in fact switch to a "movie" config which might have had some different explosion settings idk, Doesn'r seem like that should be a problem but I'll switch back to my original cfg and have a look, thanks.

Is there a way to fix this problem manually or do I simply have to wait for valve to fix it in an upcoming update?

Thanks.

#3 My screen goes black when i start tf2 in Customization

rock-sounds weird, have you tried and forcing a proper (better if the native) resolution in tf2 launch options?

nope, and by proper do you mean 1080p?

#1 My screen goes black when i start tf2 in Customization

So i recently got a new monitor which is nice, but when i start tf2 my screen goes black.

When i start tf2 my screen flickers between gray and black a couple times,
then the loading screen shows up: http://gyazo.com/24814389262c44872bca834e286381c5
then my screen flickers again and the screen goes black
i can move my cursor and i can hear that i am clicking the different buttons in the main menu. And the screen goes back to normal when i tab out of tf2 but it goes black again when i click on the tf2 icon on the taskbar

I've read a few discussions about people having the same problem and some people suggested this solution:
- In windows, switch to a low desktop resolution (1280 x 1024)
- Start tf2, this should now get into the menu.
- set tf2 resolution to desired values
- close tf2
- in windows, set desktop resolution back to normal
- start tf2, from now on this should start up in proper resolution and without black screen

but it didnt work because after ive changed my desktop resolution my screen would still go black after i started tf2.

So i figured some of you might have experienced this problem and i thought you might know how to fix it.

The problem doesnt occour when i start tf2 in windowed mode, so I'm wondering if theres any downsides of running tf2 in windowed mode. Altough i would prefer to run tf2 in fullscreen

heres my specs:

edit:just changed my monitor refreshrate to 144hz

Any help is appreciated, thanks have a good day.

#3 Where do i paste this in Q/A Help

VandPasting it in your autoexec is fine.

Navigate to your cfg folder (for me, it's in C: --> Program Files (x86) --> Steam --> SteamApps --> common --> Team Fortress 2 --> tf) and paste it into the file called "autoexec" there using Notepad, Notepad++, or any other alternative. If you don't have a file called autoexec there, just create one using, again, NP, NP++, or whatever and title it "autoexec.cfg" (quotes included so your file system can recognize it as a CFG File).

Your autoexec should do as its file name suggests, but if it doesn't, you can always just put +exec autoexec.cfg in your launch options.

thank you very much

#1 Where do i paste this in Q/A Help

I'm new to this scripting thing or whatever so i dont know how this works exactly.

Anyway, i want to use this script but i dont know where to paste it, and the "author" didn't mention where to put it.

// Null-cancelling movement script
// (prevents you from pressing two opposing directions, which causes you to stop moving)

bind w +mfwd
bind s +mback
bind a +mleft
bind d +mright

alias +mfwd "-back;+forward;alias checkfwd +forward"
alias +mback "-forward;+back;alias checkback +back"
alias +mleft "-moveright;+moveleft;alias checkleft +moveleft"
alias +mright "-moveleft;+moveright;alias checkright +moveright"
alias -mfwd "-forward;checkback;alias checkfwd none"
alias -mback "-back;checkfwd;alias checkback none"
alias -mleft "-moveleft;checkright;alias checkleft none"
alias -mright "-moveright;checkleft;alias checkright none"
alias checkfwd none
alias checkback none
alias checkleft none
alias checkright none
alias none ""

Basically what this does is that it prevents u from standing still while holding "a" and "d" at the same time, which can be useful for scouts an what not.

any help is appreciated as always, thanks :D

#6 Some of my models have lower detail in Q/A Help

santababyi suggest not using tf2mate. everyone i know that has used that has had some sort of problem with it. also another thing is if you have facial features off, it forces lod to be a certain level so that might have something to do with it. also you could try taking out the dxlevel of your launch options and see if that does anything.

ok, i have facial features enabled, and these are my launch options:
-console -novid -nocrashdialog -nojoy -noipx -nocdaudio -64bit -useforcedmparms -noforcemaccel -noforcemsp

and i used tf2mate because i wanted to have that feature where you can change cl_interp and r_draw_wievmodel for different weapons

#5 Some of my models have lower detail in Q/A Help

popcorptry changing r_rootlod and r_lod values, I think r_lod 1 and r_rootlod 1 should help, not entirely sure.

ok i will try this

#1 Some of my models have lower detail in Q/A Help

So i got a config from tf2mate.com and for some reason it causes some models to have a lower model detail, even though i set my model detail to high every time i start tf2.

This is what this tank looks like without the config: http://gyazo.com/00fefb0db63847819008fe20a67e7d8b
and this is what it looks like with the config: http://gyazo.com/2df0faff5b693e72f1239465dd955595
And as you can see, my loch n load looks fine with the config, but the grenade launcher looks really bad for some reason: http://gyazo.com/d2fd87609e4ad2367cbf5c8d4447918d
i have the same problem with some other weapons, the black box for example.
Also, whenever i start tf2 my model detail is set to medium, and when i change it to high i receive this message in the console: http://gyazo.com/c6707043c798157a451194d67b983099

This is what the custom cfg fodler looks like:
http://gyazo.com/fa2a12096bef0a409c8e42dbbd7050e0
http://gyazo.com/a1c24d04d125458f10b88b4539d0987e

ive searched through every one of these sfg files but i havent found anything related to model detail, i might just have missed it. And not that when i made the config on tf2mate i checked "No thanks, I'll use my own graphics settings": http://gyazo.com/2a6bc32523eb911598849ea3fe931f11

Do you have any idea what might be causing this problem?

Any help is appreciated, Thanks.
