#5 1080p 60fps streams? in Site Discussion

Directly from youtube, they recommend 7.5 Mb/s for 720p @ 60fps videos, minimum. For 1080p @ 60fps, they recommend at least 12.5 Mb/s. So unless every broadcaster has amazing internet (probably would need around 25 Mb/s for stable streams), they all have i7-7700 (or AMD equivalent) or higher processors (and they probably need a GTX1070 or higher as well) for stable 100+ fps at high quality, and such a high bitrate doesn't harm the viewers with internet that can't stably download 12.5 Mb/s, 1080p @ 60fps won't be a thing.

#19 CNN vs reddit user in World Events

Didn't expect to see blatant political baiting on tf.tv today, but I guess that is what happens with pol goes into defcon 1. The whole situation is being blown out of proportion by those focusing on very minute details.

For those who need greentext to follow the chain of event:

> Be journalist for cnn
> Have nothing to write about, but know you write for a liberal audience, so you check the president's twitter to see if there has been anything said that you can criticize / debunk
> See a gif that the president tweeted, search to see who created the gif
> Find out that this person happens to be a massive bigot
> Decide to write an article about their viewpoints and how the president found the gif
> Try and get into contact with the creator, since direct quotes always make articles better
> Search their reddit history and find their name / identifying information directly in their posts
> Get their contact info by entering their information into facebook
> Call them asking for a comment but get no response

> Be creator of gif that the president tweeted
> Get a call from cnn that you ignore
> Realize that an article detailing how much of a bigot you are is about to be published, write a massive apology to reddit and delete all your posts.
> Call cnn back apologizing for your actions and tell them you deleted everything
> Hope, that while cnn will publish their article, they won't release your name so as to not ruin your relationships and possible career.
> They agree but only if I become more tolerant of those around me.

As for the narrative that is being pushed. There has been no statement as to the age of the gif creator, but the majority of evidence points to them being middle aged, not 15. CNN is not coercing the creator to become tolerant, just read any sentence of the multiple paragraphs they wrote / spoke in the article that was published. CNN did not use any form of social engineering or corporation influence to obtain their name. Reading through comments and finding their personal information is not what I would consider an abuse of a person's expectation to anonymity on the internet. If you want to remain anonymous, just don't post identifying information.

It isn't like they messaged their friends asking for pieces of information that they could combine together to manipulate a real life acquaintance to giving up their personal information. Nor did they use their username to see if there are any leaked information from hacks that they could obtain. Nor did they use their ip to geo-locate them. Those would be severe misuses of power that would rightly deserve the outburst they are receiving.

What this article shows is that many of the people who do post these terrible things on the internet (not the gif, things like why they should murder all jews and muslims) aren't strongly entrenched in their opinions and/or are just doing it for acceptance or because "memes."

#35 balance changes blog post in TF2 General Discussion
Douganhayeswhat would 200% more air control on the man treads look like exactly? like, is it similar to booties giving more control with shields, where you can barely turn if you don't have them? rocket jumping already gives you a shit ton of control already. am I being retarded, i can't picture having 200% more air control while rocket jumping.In my mind i imagined something similar to surf servers where air accel is higher and allows you to perform tighter strafes
Im not exactly a fan because I feel like it could potentially lower the skill ceiling on soldier in the sense that normally learning to perform well controlled strafes is something that takes a lot of time and practice. Now you can just equip the mantreads to do it more effectively than ever. Of course its impossible to tell without actually seeing it in-game
JojoSo have you ever tried air strafing too sharp and you just lose all your speed? well now you can turn much much sharper without loosing speed. I think surf servers tend to mess with this value to make it more similar to cs surfing but I'm not certain about that.

Assuming that +200% means +200%, then it changes the base airaccelrate from 10 to 30 (surf servers are usually 150 for skill and 1000 for trick). If you have a server with sourcemod you can try out the modified value with the command sm_cvar sv_airaccelerate 30.

#4300 HUD editing: short questions, quick answers in Customization

Is there a resource for implementing tournament spec horizontal health bars? If not, what files should I be looking at to see how it is implemented (going to steal the method from wiethud unless there is a better hud implementation out there)?

#191 TFTrue in Projects

After playing around with my server last night I have now lost the ability to run any whitelist on the server while tftrue is active. I have completely reinstalled tftrue but the problem persists.

When tftrue is not running, everything works normally.

With everything disabled except tftrue, whitelists do not work.

Changing the whitelist through tftrue_whitelist_id (both from the command line and from an existing config file) does download the whitelist to tf/cfg/ and the autogenerated file tf/tftrue_item_whitelist.txt does contain the correct item definitions.

Other elements of tftrue work (bunnyhop, stv location, etc.)

console status output:

---------------------
TFTrue v4.79, AnAkkk
---------------------
TFTrue Version 4.79
Freeze Cam: On
Items: Hats: On | Misc: On | Action: On | Custom Whitelist ID: 6853
Maximum FoV allowed: 90
Bunny Hop: Off
Restore stats: On
STV Autorecord: On
Tournament config: None

I can't get the debug output currently, but if this is an isolated issue I'll get it.

#50 ESEA S24 W3: Nutting 2 Lose vs. mario party 4 in Matches
botmodeHunter_2_0why do none of the esea match threads ever show the match statsit's because esea doesn't release the required files to properly post the stats

Just because ESEA doesn't have an api doesn't mean you can't easily get the stats. You could write a parser for the page source in under an hour to scrape what you cared about and format the output so you can just copy and paste it.

#12 Video about dimensions in Off Topic
fatswimdudeeeethe universe is flat and infinite and probably only 3d this is a waste of time fuck learning
if the universe is flat how can people claim the earth is a globe

The universe is flat in it's three spacial + one temporal dimensions. Meaning if you draw a triangle in our universe, the inner angles will always add up to 180degrees. If the universe was curved then it would be greater or less than 180degrees for a triangle. See this nice layman's article for a more in-depth explanation.

The universe being flat is actually a really nice mathematical simplifier when it comes to dealing with the metric of our spacetime, so it is pretty interesting that our physical world makes equations neater rather than messier.

#10 Video about dimensions in Off Topic

First, not quite sure why you are linking the crappy version of the video. This is the original video.

Second, the person who created the video is not a physicist or in anyway related to one.

Third, http://physics.stackexchange.com/a/55848. The guy is a crackpot and the theory has no physical significance whatsoever.

#4038 HUD editing: short questions, quick answers in Customization

#4040 is the best tool for that fontforge or is there something simpler for just changing the font name?

#4036 HUD editing: short questions, quick answers in Customization

Just installed an updated version of a font onto my computer (through google fonts -> skyfonts).

However, I don't want to use the updated version of the font in my HUD, I want to use an older version. I have the font file I want to use bundled with the hud, and all *scheme files load the font from that location.

However, TF2 uses the system font rather than the bundled font. What are my options for forcing tf2 to use the font file I want. Rename the font filename, rename the font name, etc.?

#12 enabling 144hz on my monitor in Hardware

Technically hdmi 1.4b supports 120Hz @ 1080p, but I don't know of any monitor that actually supports using hdmi for 120 HZ, even over hdmi 2.0+. Use dvi-d or displayport (if your monitor accepts it) if you want 120Hz+.

#40 2016 black friday/cyber monday deals in Off Topic
Tangyydamn, wish the qck mats and zowie mice would go on sale, im in the market for new ones

Sloth E-sports pads are 30-40% off right now, and are arguably better pads than the qck.

http://www.slothesports.com/store/

LCD-2's for $500 is a pretty sick deal. They are one of the best headphones ever made and their closest competitor was the HE-500 which cost $700 (and still many people prefer the LCD-2). If you have a quality amp to power them, $500 is absurd.

#433 Global whitelist unveiled in News

Significant damage should trigger a push (or at least a sac) through choke in the current meta, changing the heal rate isn't going to incentivize it further if a team wouldn't do it currently.

If you want to fix stalemates you need to make the burden of pushing on the team with less points capped rather than the team with more points capped.
