Upon further analysis I realize that Otaku may be telling the truth. Originally I thought(assumed) that he was saying his account got hijacked and he was VAC banned at the same time. This is a clear red flag considering VAC bans are delayed for weeks after detection to make it harder for cheaters to know what gets through VAC which means if his account did get hijacked and the the hijacker did hack on it he would not have gotten banned for weeks. However nowhere in this thread did anyone indicate when Otaku's account was hijacked or when his account got VAC'd. It is a possibility that his account got hijacked and he lost all his items weeks ago and he JUST got VAC'd and letting us know now. So far so good. But then Nspire brings up that his account's items are on his new account which implies that Otaku didn't get his account hijacked and is a dirty cheater... however there is no proof behind Nspire's claims due to Otaku's account being private which is suspicious but still isn't proof. Another reason why I think he may be telling the truth is because if a hacker gets VAC'd he would want to transition to a new account as quietly as possible which means the hacker wouldn't post a thread in tf.tv's most popular forum to advertise their VAC'd status... unless... Otaku is a one step ahead of me and did those actions I just described to appear innocent... The video nero posted proves nothing so no comment on that. I too have played with Otaku and I can say that he doesn't seem like the cheating type and I haven't seen any suspicious actions.

you clearly didn't think this one through

The file that controls the chatbox is basechat.res. It is uncommon to find that file in most huds so you'll need to extract it from tf2's gcf files.

Do you think lagarith can further significantly compress files processed by ffmpeg?

Thanks, dellort. I don't think ffmpeg can encode lagarith lossless codec files.

Lange, if you use ffmpeg is the bitrate variable or constant? If it's variable is the value you select the max or average?

vertical refresh rate is different than horizontal refresh rate

you should try to defrag your gcf files

extract to steamapps>close steam>run_gcfdefrag.bat

fpsmax doesn't matter too much, as long as it's above your refresh rate and doesn't cause screen tearing

I've seen some huds do this, how do I do this with my own hud?

you need a solid foundation: decent fps, good mouse, stable internet, good attitude, passion and friends. once you've got that stuff down it's only a matter of time before you get better.
