So I don't really expect this idea for badlands to really be much, but I'll pitch it anyways.

Badlands is obviously an incredibly hard map to push out of. There have been plenty of good examples provided as to why it's nearly impossible to push out of last so I'm not going to echo what has already been said.

Is there any way (through map design or some other method of sorcery) to make it so that the forward spawn does not teleport you back to last when the enemy has your 2nd? My train of thought behind this was that there isn't a lot of distance needed to cover from last to battlements, so possibly having a sniper push out with the team to get the spire cap wouldn't be as bad considering the large sightline from battlements onto choke. However, the sniper would have to switch class to scout before the point is capped so he/she would not have to cover the distance between last and where his/her team is. Also, attempts at a forward hold by a team could possibly be discouraged if a heavy is brought along to break the forward hold.

I don't really expect this to go very far, but it's an idea and suggestion nonetheless

hudmediccharge.res

Check hudlayout.res and search for "NotificationPanel" and check that it's not disabled with a visible/enabled value of 0.
As far as editing the status panel, try editing the files found in resource/ui/notifications

I know for sure you're going to be working in scoreboard.res (resource -> ui -> scoreboard.res)

If you want to get rid of the name, score, and ping, you'll be working in the "scores" field usually found at the top of the file. The the fields ending in "_width" are likely what you're going to be working with.

Question of my own: Is there something coded into TF2 that prevents target IDs from being moved along the very center of the screen? And is it possible to override it?

I believe it's also something that you can check in your advanced options (something like use 3d character model or something like that)

not gonna lie for a hot minute I thought my article that I pushed to our editors had just gotten published LOL

Also it looks like I'm going to have to make some changes to another story given these changes

you're gonna have to wait until the article drops to find out :)

edit: the beans have been spilled apparently so there's that :/ I'm working on some last revisions and edits before I push it to our editors

I've played casual many times on dx level 81 on my laptop no problem. Valve MM is what requires DX9 to play it (which nobody is basically playing anyways)

Also I might as well chip in and ask what performance I should be expecting out of my laptop since I'm getting anywhere from 25-40 fps on average with dx8 and a modified graphics config for lowest possible settings. I've unfortunately gotten used to playing in such an abysmal framerate but the fact that I sometimes get such framedrops in MGE is what really concerns me. I've even gone to scaling my resolution down from 1366 x 768 (Native resolution) to 1024 x 768

There hasn't been anything in 6 months that would require a hud to be updated iirc so it should be up to date. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that's the case

Mario Kart

I did enjoy Dirt Rally quite a bit when I played it with a friend of mine once

This. My dad has traveled abroad a lot to countries where English wasn't primarily spoken and his biggest tip to me was always to learn basic phrases (hello, thank you, etc) and make an attempt at speaking the language. People will be much more willing to help you than if you didn't make any attempt at all.

mainly scroll wheel but when I'm frequently switching between 2 weapons I'll use q

f on most of my classes is melee

Goodness those menus are beautiful. How long were you working on some of those?

Also loading up the Orbiculatus hud and seeing some of the broken things in it makes me want to fix/update it and then change some stuff but idk if I have the time or energy to put it into that

Still ToTH huds release PogChamp
