The three things that differ in linux are:

• folders and filenames are case-sensitive and need to be lowercase (unless specifically referenced with #base or something using capitals)
  
• fonts are smaller (exactly 80% the size of windows fonts)
  
• [$WINDOWS] tags don't work and [$LINUX] does. [$WIN32] is for PC including linux, as an opposite to [$X360]

More likely though you just need to use cl_use_tournament_specgui to turn it on.

Moving things forward is good but I think most of the community is fed up with the decisionmaking being opaque and feeling like it's just the whims of whoever's talking loudest, with what seems like 0 effort being being put into improving the process or consulting the entire rest of the community (outside of when a particular decision is completely hated and has to be reverted). All that paired with there still being no clear reasoning on why it's been going the direction it has, or really any long term plan at all.

People do want progress, it's just that the most relevant area for progress is to come up with an actually good decisionmaking process. Whitelists for example, every time a new whitelist comes out there's more headache and backlash than there were problems with the old whitelist in the first place -- which is a pretty good indication that the system ain't working well. But I don't think we've ever actually heard plans to fix this, we just end up running into the same situation a season or two later, with the same concerns and complaints. I get that it isn't easy and not everyone will be happy, but does anyone think the current method is actually any good?

This is the best opportunity the community at large will have to actually improving the way we approach things like whitelists to stop making controversial decisions, but it seems like that whole discussion is falling on some of the same people who've been making these controversial decisions in the first place.

I am making progress on it, and it all should be doable (most of the questionable parts are done).

As long as imagemagick and wine are installed, the generate.sh that's currently there should be able to generate flat textures. I haven't tested throroughly though, and feedback would be appreciated.

Scroll up a bit and this should be:

I don't think this was the intention but when I read it, it comes off a bit as "I apologize for it, but it didn't happen, or it wasn't a big deal, or it wasn't me, or it was your fault it happened." A lot of it can easily be taken as a defense, so I can't blame anyone for taking it as you defending yourself.

e: in retrospect this was giving way too much benefit of the doubt, now that the thread's been locked and scratch doubled down hard, I'd like to make it clear that his "apology" shouldn't fly

Why is this met with "ok harassment sucks but the real problem here is how much she dislikes being harassed, I think she should be harassed more before she gets upset" and not "why the fuck is there harassment in our small community?"

However much harassment you think someone should be able to take is completely moot because we should strive to not have harassment in the first place.

Sounds like you changed the .txt but didn't get it to compile properly. If so, using a compile script or dropping the .txt on common\Team Fortress 2\bin\captioncompiler.exe should compile it.

If this is a "how can other things exist if all I see is nothing" then it's more along the lines of you not being there to interpret and comprehend it. Everything still happens, even if you can't observe it, in the same way that stuff is still happening on the other side of the world even if I'll never see it.

If it's a "why do people do things if it's all meaningless in the end" then I'd just argue why wouldn't you? The idea of "I want to be happy and make others happy, so I should do that" doesn't suddenly change because things aren't permanent. Whether I stop existing or I go to an afterlife, decades down the road, doesn't have anything to do with the fact that I want to be happy and helpful right now.

I'm no therapist but I think it's a bit unhealthy to consider "not having a lasting legacy and major impact in the world = failure". The reality is pretty much everyone has a noticeable impact in their circles of friends and communities they belong to. You don't need history books written about you to be a success and have a good life.

An ad blocker and not going to shady places / downloading shady shit is far more effective than antiviruses. If you want more security you can disable scripts in your browser or sandbox it. This of course isn't perfect and it just covers the most common vectors, but an antivirus won't have as good of a success rate as just not doing anything that could get you a virus.

If you are the kind of person who looks at their virus report and notices they've had 0 viruses found for the fifth year in a row, you don't really need that antivirus's active protection scanning everything (can still run a manual check every once in a while if you want). And if you do get loads of viruses reported, you should change up your habits to not rely on an antivirus since odds are it didn't catch everything anyway.

Of course, linux is an option too.

I think I've found and fixed the root cause of this, at least I've been able to reproduce it and pushed what fixed it to github. If everyone that's run into this could try it now, it should hopefully work.

Works fine as in: appears like default, appears grainey, or appears flat?

Hopefully the above fix for generate.bat going with every option also fixes this, but I'm still not reproducing it so I can't say for sure.

If you want to do this still, you can go into dev/lists/nohats_weapons.txt and remove everything from there.

That's my bad, it should now be fixed. I think I've gotten all the "cosmetic" weapons covered but I've been bouncing between a few things today and might've missed something.

1KB means that it's resizing properly, so imagemagick is at least somewhat functional. Just a wager that one of the exe's is working fine but the other is half-breaking. By reinstall I mean downloading the imagemagick portable zip and extracting it to the dev folder.

I've updated a few things:

• added verification step that checks if generator.bat can find the necessary vpk's (basically checking if cleantf2plus is in custom), like Zetos mentioned
  
• made flat textures and all model removals inform you of their progress, like Zetos mentioned
  
• attempted auto-detection and warning for weird behaviour some people (Adje) experienced. I can't confirm whether it'll work because it doesn't apply to my machine, but if you do experience it should just be a warning and let you still use the generator.bat (but you should mention it to me because it'll probably cause issues still).

This is the one thing I'm iffy on. I think the help system should stay, it's not really needed right now but if/when the descriptions get long in the future it'd be better to have everything already in place.

Everything in this is a list of files and folders, essentially. There's a list for everything that should be used in nohats, and then there's another list for the things to take out from headsfeet (which just deletes those files, which might seem slow or impractical but is better for a few reasons -- updates are easier and it's actually faster anyway).

Nohats is mostly update-proof, since it's unlikely for new hats to be added into a new folder instead of existing ones that are already covered, but headsfeet would need to be manually updated whenever there's a new head/foot cosmetic added. It's not ideal (I was considering a python script to generate the list from items_game.txt, which I might still do to update the headsfeet list but I don't want everyone using cleantf2plus to also need python) but since it's just a line or two added to a text file that anyone could edit and send up a pull request for, it hopefully should be easier to manage making a new vpk each time.

Right now a lot of the setup assumes that it's in the custom folder, so making everything work with this might be a decent chunk of work to do. When the rest of the system's stable I'll probably try my hand at this, unless someone else contributes it.

It's a plan to support linux with bash scripts, but I won't get the chance to work on that for a few weeks at the earliest. I don't have a mac rig to test on though, so it's not in the roadmap. Both are open to contributors if anyone is looking to convert them though.

Mostly change the way the game looks, but:

• Model removals (mostly nohats) means there's less to render and can give a substantial fps increase.
  
• Surfaceproperties.txt reduces particle effects and should give a minor fps boost.
  
• Resized flat textures should increase GPU cache efficiency, though that's really hard to measure afaik. I don't know whether mipmaps take into account the texture size, if it does then it should help in sv_pure 2 as well, but otherwise it's only an optimization in sv_pure 0.

Unresized flat textures shouldn't have any fps change, and mtp.cfg and soundscape removal might help a little bit but I don't think they're anything close to bottlenecks.
