Just play around and see what works for you.

Having said that I usually have primary weapons at 0, secondary at 100 and melee at 75.

Most people use anything between 80 and 110 as a universal viewmodel_fov (or have viewmodels completely off).

You should check out Broesel's crosshair switcher (which also lets you change viewmodel fov for each weapon) if you want different fovs for different weapons. http://etf2l.org/forum/customise/topic-11110/

Fun game to watch with good casting. Camera work was a little iffy but props to DJC for being able to multitask so can't complain.

Thanks TFTV!

Full time procrastinator.

Tried it got this:

As for servers, one of the best servers you can get, if not the best, is a Hiperz Netherlands server. Key point of information there is Netherlands location - as they seem to run better hardware and/or the routing is better to all of Europe. French/German/anything else they do is overpriced imo. I've played on French, German and Netherlands servers from Hiperz and I can tell you the Netherlands servers are a step above the other locations. - They're also more expensive though, often too expensive for most.

A server company that got recommended to me by people who are in the know about EU servers is clanhost.nl - never played on one of their servers but apparently as good if not better than Hiperz while being cheaper. All clanhost.nl servers are located in Netherlands as well - so probably get awesome routing to all of EU with them as well. Again never tried so can't verify - just based on word of mouth and educated judgement.

Something that I noticed after the update today, it'll feel like I'm playing at <30fps sometimes, while in net_graph my reported frame rate will be at least 200fps. I notice it on cp_badlands the most out of all the main 5cp maps.

My game will just become really sluggish/jittery while I stay looking at a certain spot or remain in a certain area of the map.

Anyone else getting this? Or got a fix?

Previously I had never experienced any fps issues, always silky smooth and at least 200fps.

Running Chris's dx9 frames on a Phenom II x4 3.8ghz + HD 6850.

Why is dx8 better than dx9? Not trying to be cheeky, I'm genuinely curious.

Sorry for spreading my propaganda some more but like I said before I really think it isn't as simple as that.

1) Would people be happier to donate $10,000 to a prize pool, or $10,000 to get an NA team to i49? It's really hard to answer that without actually finding out and trying to raise funds for both.

2) It's also really hard to say what will bring more exposure, a large prize pool for an online tournament, or an international LAN.

Anyway I'm turning into a politician by talking ideas while in reality doing fuck all. I'm done. If people agree with me then I really hope something gets initiated.

Feel free to add me on steam and I'll try my best to help if someone wants it.

#64 That's a discussion for another thread I think.

Let's try and keep this on topic, which is "i49".

Not saying I disagree with you though, I'd love for all of that to happen.

I see your point, and if you think the money is being wasted then that's fair enough, I doubt I can change your mind about that.

But if people are happy to donate then why not at least try? If we get some sort of kickstarted structure where if we don't raise $10,000 to send an NA team to i49 then no one loses a penny.

I hate comments like this.

You're implying that people are going to either donate to a LAN fund or a community fund. But the truth is that people will donate towards what they want to see.

You're basically telling me that I should use the £30 I'd be happy to give to a LAN fund to some sort of community fund I really couldn't give 2 shits about. That's not true. I'm either going to donate £30 to an i49 LAN fund, nothing at all or to both a LAN and community fund. It doesn't have to be black and white.

At the moment there are 3 things that can happen.

1) Raise money for a LAN fund.
2) Raise money for a community fund.
3) Do nothing.

At the moment we're doing no.3. And your comment doesn't help promote either 1 or 2, it just shoots everything down.

Also personally, I didn't look forward to i46 because of how it could expand the scene - I didn't expect anything like that, but I did look forward to watching the styles of players from 2 different continents clash - and that really was awesome to watch. And that is exactly what I'd pay to see again.

Also I totally agree with CRow on the point about bridging the gap between the communities, when I got into competitive TF2 in the July just before i46 I didn't give a rats ass about NA TF2. But after seeing their aggressive stlyes at i46 I started staying up stupidly late and watching NA Invite casts. Who's to say the same cant happen with the new comp TF2 players of 2013 because of i49?

And even if it really does end up being as simple as NA vs EU, that is not a bad thing. It's competitions like that which both people within the community and outside can appreciate and enjoy.

Someone start some sort of kickstarter? I'd be happy to donate to even just get 1 team (bp?) over here. The new Epsilon is beast and who doesn't want to see the best team from NA play the best team in EU for the title of best team World? That is the kinda shit i'd pay for, I don't give a crap if it "expands" the game or not.

I laugh every time I see that crazy jaw movement haha

Thanks for making such an amazing video! :D

I think this match is worthy of a Chaplain analysis.

My guess is, on badlands at least, it's so he can reload all his rockets before getting the mini ammo pack on wooden bridge and still be in the right position to get crit heals.

At the moment some of the features don't work. The ones that I noticed didn't do anything were:

- Skip to tick and then start record function.
- Disable HUD completely function.
- Set mat_queue_mode 0 function.

Also +1 on the being able to set a separate directory to /tf/ for where the recordings go to - that would be super useful.
