If you're planning on using jpegs instead of TGAs, then enter

jpeg_quality 100

and the command to take a screenshot is

jpeg

which you'll need to bind to a key so that you can take screenshots without the console in the way.

A comprehensive list of commands to use to change everything to the highest settings might be hard to come by, so I would suggest saving your configs somewhere and then just cranking everything up to full in the GUI menu. You're going to want the max AA and texture quality, and put HDR on.

As I understand it, vrad (the lighting compiler) treats displacements and brushes differently. I believe that it has something to do with displacements being similar to models - they're really just a collection of triangular planes - and so they have a different sort of lighting being done to them, called vertex lighting. On the other hand, brushes are lit with lightmaps.

Practically speaking, the only way to have them both lit the same way is to make them both the same type of thing. I would recommend changing the displacement if possible (why is it a displacement in the first place?), or if you need it to be a displacement, duplicate the other brushes and texture them with nodraw, then turn the sides of the originals that are textured into displacements.

That looks 100 % cleaner, good job!

Congrats on preseason!

Your clipping here is mismatched: you can get on top of both of these tiny ledges on the blue side but not on the red side, red side clipping is probably correct as you can see it jutting out here:

Also, I think it's great that you're putting in the effort to fix the problems that people have had with this map in the past. However, I think your new visual aesthetic is quite lacking compared to both cp_coldfront and cp_warmfront, which at least felt uniform and engaging. Currently your version is filled with texture misalignments, z-clipping and overall the theme is discontinuous.

omphud uses a different mechanic for heal percentages but it's the most uniform, cleanest hud i can think of.

This thread is about to become a solid dumping ground.

Walked into Tim Horton's 20 minutes ago, ordered a coffee and sat down. A fetching young man in his late teens walked in and we exchanged pleasantries, computer hardware, and hard cash. Fast and efficient delivery service. 10/10 would recommend.

Additional comments: everything present in the packaging, and he even threw in a couple of SATA 6 cables for free. Fast and friendly trader, +1 rep.

PS: don't get mugged walking home, shifty folks out on the streets today.

I'd take the SSD, I could pick it up in person. I added you on Steam for your monitor a few threads ago but we never talked about it, I think you sold to someone else.

will they stop doing it when someone gives them a mustang?

We sold out of ice salt at Canadian Tire today. We never sell out of ice salt.

Even posting in the news section is a big deal. There are a lot of tf2 communities who have bots on their forums that automatically create threads for any new activity on teamfortress.com. I first saw this update on TF2Maps.net, for example.
