Again, I would appreciate any discussion about mastercomfig+ to make the service more appealing to everyone.

Keep in mind that this is a donation reward through a Patreon, and that it would be impossible for me to provide such a service without making it paid (due to the per-hour costs for machine learning infrastructure).

Nothing that isn't specific per user will be put behind a paywall. All mastercomfig+ is doing is adding specifically tailored values for your computer, based on machine learning analysis. And, I'll be using the data trends from the analysis to benefit everyone by releasing aggregate reports every month and applying what I learn from the analysis to mastercomfig, it's just the per user compute that is more intensive and is the main factor for the costs.

Many people have expressed wanting to donate, and I figured this would be a cool thing to do for them, that would also benefit the community. If you have any more concerns, please express them in the thread so I can address them, instead of just downfragging and moving on.

Hello everyone! After having a great discussion with the community about mastercomfig+, I am ready to announce pricing details for these premium mastercomfig features.

Pricing will be $2.70 per month, with discounts available for subscribing for longer:

$7.90 quarterly (3 months) (effective rate: $2.64/month) 2.5% off
$15.39 bianually (6 months) (effective rate: $2.57/month) 5% off
$29.16 yearly (12 months) (effective rate: $2.43/month) 10% off

Also, when you refer a friend to subscribe to mastercomfig+, you get a free month per referral (up to 5 referrals)!

To reiterate the benefits of mastercomfig+, it is a machine learning powered service that helps you make decisions about settings according to your specified preferences for performance and quality and optimizes the config for your specific system and hardware configuration.

Finally, to emphasize that mastercomfig+ is about supporting the config and creating value for the community, I'll be providing the community with aggregate performance data every month to help everyone determine trends in optimizations and quality levels. In addition to this free service, mastercomfig+ will be free for everyone to try out once a month if there are at least 100 paying mastercomfig+ subscribers for that month.

I hope the community finds this new information about mastercomfig+ encouraging and if not, I'll continue to listen and make adjustments as needed. Thank you for your time and interest, and I hope you're excited for the future of mastercomfig as much as I am.

I have updated the dynamic hardware config data. Just use 7.0.0-a.10 and reapply to stream in the latest config.

7.0.0 is still in alpha. Descriptions for more individual settings will be coming soon. You can see that work here: https://github.com/mastercoms/mastercomfig/blob/beta/config/cvars.json. There's just thousands of things to comment, so I hope you can understand why it's not a thing right now. I'm sorry that you think this is sad, and I agree that this sort of info is very valuable for users. It's not a decision I made to them unavailable to users, I really want to add them before 7.0.0 goes into beta.

With the latest version, there is a custom setting called Art decal fade. You can turn it off to disable fading.

Not sure about backpack borders. Will look into it.

* No Tutorial: Not available for 7.0.0. 6.7.0 VPK is not compatible. Will be a HUD setting soon.
* Mouse Tweaks: Not available for 7.0.0. 6.7.0 VPK is not compatible. Settings from mouse tweaks will be available to be changed in the input category coming soon. The specific values will be shared by me as a config addon on mastercomfig community.
* Transparent Viewmodels: Not available for 7.0.0. 6.7.0 VPK is not compatible. Will be shared by me as a config addon on mastercomfig community.
* Bad GPU: Available through the app's hardware autodetect.
* Bad CPU: Not available for 7.0.0. 6.7.0 VPK is not compatible. Will be available through the app's hardware autodetect soon.

mastercomfig 7.0.0-a.9

Yeah, and that's fine. You'll be able to donate and get one month of the benefits.

Machine learning infrastructure.

I'm not concerned about people doing that since they're paying for a month of service, so they get a month of service. If they want to support the config and get the service for longer, then they will subscribe for longer. I don't think it's a big deal if people find themselves happy with one month or choose to only get it once in a while to update themselves when they need to.

It wouldn't be hindering anything the app could provide as it wouldn't be feasible to maintain this as a non-paid service.

Yeah that's why I had the survey. But keep in mind that it's not just fine tuning values for your specific system configuration but also giving you recommendations on what quality levels to choose based on your specified quality/performance preference and it gives you estimates for the performance impact of different quality levels.

Also, the only thing you subscribe to is the service, not the values you obtain from it. So you could totally subscribe for just a month to get the optimal values and adjust quality levels with the recommendation engine, but you wouldn't get future updates to those recommendations as the service learns more.

However, this is primarily just supposed to be a donation (which a lot of people expressed wanting to do), so I think it's good to consider that instead of just the raw benefit.

You should be able to adjust and add whatever you want using the custom.cfg and you're able to make those changes without having to redo them every time the config updates.

Well isn't it just one VPK? And the comfig.cfg file has everything you need. https://github.com/mastercoms/mastercomfig/blob/release/config/mastercomfig/cfg/comfig.cfg

I never edited Comanglia's config. Sage made comangliacoms. Also what do you find hard to manage with mastercomfig?

Don't exec autoexec. That executes mastercomfig all over again. Make a separate binds.cfg or something if you'd like to have base settings.

As for AELai, I'm not sure why yours is not working. Perhaps there's an alias that's causing a loop? Could you show me all your alias definitions (like vmflip).

Today I am announcing mastercomfig community. A whole new way to create, experiment and share. Coming soon.

With mastercomfig community, you'll be able to share custom presets, scripts and settings (globally and per-class)!

With the framework from mastercomfig community, you'll also be able to sync your mastercomfig across devices, with profile options to make sure you sync the right settings to the right devices.

Finally, I'd like to announce mastercomfig+! It's in the early stages of development, but I'd like to hear from you about a premium, subscription-based version of mastercomfig!

Survey: https://goo.gl/forms/oG2nVpvNvZVQcwOf1

Once you've taken the mastercomfig+ survey, if you'd like to give more thoughts about it, feel free to share them here. I'm also available on Steam and Discord.

Similar to Owen, what is in your class config?
