I'd say nothing about MOBAs or FPSes require paid DLC or locking content behind paywalls. It's just something that was introduced by some games, well after the moba or fps genres were made, to get more money.

Trading/collectible card games kinda require that, since collecting them has always been a core part and one of the more fun aspects of the genre. You could have other ways of getting cards; free packs, just getting cards randomly, etc. but people will still want to be able to buy them and there's no sense in stopping them. Or have every card available for everyone, but that ruins half the fun in it.

This has been beaten to death before, and still doesn't really mean anything when you consider the success of games like smash bros (which is more goofy, intended to be more casual, has even less of the playerbase treat it competitively, and never really got any positive recognition from Nintendo).

As long as the game's decently balanced and doesn't completely break down at higher levels (which tf2 is fine for both), what separates e-sports from regular games is either being in the right place at the right time, or having lots of money thrown at it. If you look at every game that's been competitive, tf2 isn't actually lacking in what made them succeed from a design perspective, it just was never in a situation that it could become an esport.

There's a script file called mod_textures that can change killfeed icons, among other things.

There were a few different iterations:

I remember another but it looked mostly like the third one
There are likely more but hopefully that should help

I also still have the old (and outdated + buggy) spec hud if that's needed.

As far as I know, MATE doesn't have compositing by default.

Any reason not to go with windowed borderless and adjust the resolution through launch options? On many distros there isn't a desktop compositor, so there's no lag / input latency issues with it vs fullscreen.

Does anyone have these and know how loud they are for other people? Been wanting to have some good headphones but don't want to bother other people (especially when playing rhythm games, where the keyboard sounds alone is obnoxious enough).

The point of that is a lot of stores have deals with companies where they're the lowest public price of whatever products. Massdrop gets around this by requiring memberships, so they can sell for lower without breaking those deals, since they're technically not public. This isn't the case for every product, but it can mean saving a lot on some things.

It's not ideal, but it's not like it's in any way hard to sign up.

My recommendations:
Magicforce 68 Gateron Reds $62.99
Coolermaster Masterkeys S $79.99
Vortex Core $95.00
Leopold FC660M $109.00
Pok3r $119.00
Filco Majestouch 2 TKL $129.00
Ducky One TKL $139.00
Varmillo VA87M $140.70
Mistel Barocco $164.00

Waiting for things like Input club's K-type, Evangs' minivan, or XMIT's hall-effect keyboard to get back on massdrop is another option (or r/mechmarket), though they're not going to be back on for a while most likely.

As long as it's mechanical, keycaps tend to be where a lot of the budget goes (after you get past the extremely cheap brand switches).

not 1:1 but quake 3 inspired.

not as good as smesi's hud tho

Mostly. It basically is font layering, but because the o2jam font is normally transparent, I could use refracts and additives to save time and only use 2 fonts (one for the fill, one for the outline). In the end it took 5 labels and 3 gradient images.

Might try to do the q3 font as well if I can get my hands on the actual font for it. Had to convert the o2jam font from images to otf by hand, which wasn't the most fun. It'd have to be a different process completely (no additives or gradients, instead a lot more labels) but shouldn't be too bad.

Experimenting with multi-colored fonts, replicated the o2jam font

ya-bwHUD still wasn't much changed either. I think Smesi means more to start from scratch, or to mod it so much that you can't even tell what it originally was and it may as well be completely unique.

You do you, but imo if you have experience editing huds, there's no reason to only mod existing ones. If you can do basic hud mods, you can make something entirely your own, and that's a lot more rewarding than changing colors and fonts.

On fov_desired 90, it's zoom_sensitivity_ratio 0.7934714131880

I don't know the full differences between wine on linux and mac, but I can get vtfedit working fine on through wine on my linux install. Might be worth looking into that, since it wouldn't be hard at all to convert a font crosshair to a vtf crosshair.

It depends on what you want to change.

For things like health and ammo, you just need to go into their files (resource/ui/hudplayerhealth.res and hudammoweapons.res) and find where it says "font" "NormalCodeXX", and replace the XX with a smaller number for a smaller font size.

For some fonts you will need to go to resource/scheme/fonts.res, go into the font section, and change the tall of whatever it is you want.

In general you should ask questions like these in the hud questions thread.

shift

used to use ctrl but bumping it up one key is a lot more comfortable
