For those that don't like the removed scope or play ETF2L where it's just been declared banned, I whipped up a quick vpk to disable it. Though there is still the issue of refracts getting through it, so you can't use any prism hud healthcross options that change the healthcross' shape.

Sorry for not being integrated at all, I'm working on the hud and it's too much of a mess to release right now.

Also CLEAN TF2 UPDATED
-removed the scope removal from _misc_removal.vpk, it's pointless considering the better alternatives
-added a readme for etf2l players warning against using _prop_removal.vpk

The cfg uses sv_cheats to perform the animation on startup. It's not entirely needed, since you can throw it into DamagedPlayer and just do some damage and it'll work, but it's useful to have.

To disable it you'd have to edit the scoperemoval animation. Afaik there's no way to disable it serverside and no way to disable it permanently ingame.

Nope. It's done through completely regular methods that the game supports, no .dll injections or anything that would cause VAC bans, it's just that the result could get called an exploit.

Clean tf2 actually uses a completely different method that involves materials instead of animations. Though this leaves black bars on the side of the screen for any resolution above 4:3, as you can see in screenshot 2. Doing it with animations, like in the OP (or in prism hud, the other thing I released in that thread), doesn't have these black bars, but without making the animation rerun you'll end up with the regular scope any time you use hud_reloadscheme.

So also put this in your hudanimations:

event DamagedPlayer
{
	RunEvent ScopeRemoval 0.0
}

Nope. All this can do is make hud elements, viewmodels, and some already transparent world textures and models it seems, transparent. It doesn't in any way actually change how the viewmodels act or appear beyond its alpha.

You need to paste it after the

"Resource/HudLayout.res"
{

In other words above the //crosshairs line

Though as a warning, it will not work with dx8 once you put it in properly. dx9 is needed.

The material used is just a simple texture that by luck will get rid of viewmodels (and hud elements but that's not really relevant here). It's not possible, unless there's some really trippy shader that I don't know about.

The bleed overlay is a refract material that the game's set up to also refract viewmodels.

I don't know of any proper fix but I just disable them entirely with clean tf2's _misc_removal.vpk.

_particle_removal.vpk would be doing both.

I don't get it. The only thing I've put in replay\thumbnails that could possibly be considered an "exploit" is refracts to do stuff like the transparent viewmodels or change the healthcross' shape, which has absolutely nothing to do with mathacks.

You could maybe do the same stuff as in the removal vpk's with world textures (idk I never tried) and basically play without ever seeing any walls or floors, but really it'd be harder to play like that rather than give an advantage. And patching that in a way that makes everyone happy and doesn't break good mods (just make that not apply to world geometry) is easy too.

On dx8 the refract shader doesn't work. You could setup a fallback material but that'd just get rid of the full white issue, not make masking work. I haven't tested some of the more obscure shaders (find their names in \common\Team Fortress 2\hl2\hl2_misc_dir.vpk\shaders\ ) but I'd assume if refract wouldn't work then the more specific shaders that act like refract wouldn't either.

The transparency is based on the transparency of the vtf. You'll have to edit that (easiest way is with paint.net or gimp with their vtf plugins). For some reason changing the alpha in hudlayout doesn't work.

// Prism Settings (for refract)

mat_motion_blur_enabled 1 			//afaik the only sure-fire way to keep refract masking on
mat_motion_blur_strength 0 			//effectively disables motion blur, personal choice + motion blur gets masked and looks bad with refract masking
mat_disable_bloom 1 				//disables bloom so refract masking doesn't create a dark rectangle over light materials

I know there's at least one other command needed to make it work 100% of the time. Chris's maxframes and comanglia's config both come with whatever command, but I know chris's maxquality (and probably just default tf2) will break it occasionally. I'll try to find it but in the meantime I'd stick with configs :/

I should probably point it out then that materials applied to brushes do not actually need any preloading. For some reason, map brushes end up preloading themselves already or something like that, and if all you wanted was things to be applied to world geometry you could jump straight into an sv_pure 2 server and it'd be the same. It's only things like models and materials that do not appear applied to brushes (particles, things like the bleed overlay) that need preloading. Sorry you had to go through all that work :/

There should be a bit more working room with props since the limit is 2048, so that's solid, and the harder stuff to preload (things like the bleed overlay and particles as the main two) are still materials so (I haven't tested but) applying them to brushes might preload them (which shouldn't take more than 1024), so a preloading map that gets everything should still be possible. Wish I could help you with it but I know nothing of map making.

The command is also located inside prismhud.txt in your cfg folder which gets generated by the hud, and gets exec'd after autoexec so it'd be overriding it. Edit it there and you should be good.

I don't really know why the smaller net_graph wouldn't be implemented if it was in notohud. I'll look into it. The rest of the stuff should be easy to fix, but I'm midway in reworking how customization works (to get off 4plug and make it all within the hud) so it may take a little while for an update with those additions.

You'd have to edit HudHealthDyingPulseLoop and HudHealthDyingPulseStop too if you wanted to implement animations from other huds. Unless there's an issue with shadow names or something like that, it should work fine though.

I check out this thread and the hud editing thread more than I do /r/tf2huds (and actually have an account on tf.tv :P), though you'd probably get a response on any of the three. I don't really mind where the issues get posted as long as I see them.

Those are side-effects of changing shaders on particle materials that don't get drawn, to save some fps.

The fix for most of it would be to type in console (or your autoexec) "con_filter_enable 1; con_filter_text_out C_OP_".

UPDATED CLEAN TF2
-More vpk's
-Fixed contrast issue on pl_hightower
-Fixed grate doors being opaque

If you're using prism hud, go into resource\hudanimations\hudanimations_tf_extra.txt and delete the hudscope animation. Then go delete all the sniper_scope_ materials inside of materials\hud\ . Then go into 4plug and change your healthcross to something that doesn't involve changing the shape of the healthcross.
If you're using _misc_removal.vpk, unpack it and delete all the sniper_scope_ materials inside of materials\hud\ .

I'll be honest, I have no clue. I remember using bits of your hud but I wouldn't have any clue what they'd be or if they've even made it into the release without being replaced.

http://teamfortress.tv/thread/12706/help-with-flat-textures
A different flat textures mod like this will not get all those sorts of lines and graininess, and instead will be the default textures on sv_pure 2 (and is also many times larger in filesize :P).

Bonafide and I have been talking about possible solutions to get flat textures in sv_puew but nothing sure has come up yet. In the meantime bonafide has some nvidia tweaks to help but they don't work perfectly.
