I downloaded all the imgur images linked on tftv, surprisingly it's only about 40gb of images, any recommendations for where to upload?

https://docs.mastercomfig.com/latest/next_steps/quick_fixes/#i-want-another-interp-value, however the mastercoms defaults are better anyways, 0.033 literally originated from a typo.

Should be in the same location as the weapon scripts, scripts folder in tf2_misc.vpk. You can extract with gcfscape

Sorry I should've looked at the game files before posting, it's actually volume and soundlevel under the Weapon_Scatter_Gun sections in scripts/game_sounds_weapons.txt, same file as the rocket launcher replacement

The rocket launcher sound replacement method won't allow you to use custom sounds in pure, although you can probably lower the volume of the default sound by changing "volume" or "soundlevel" in the scattergun weapon script.

If you're using weapon scripts for custom crosshairs already, you can edit it right in there, otherwise the script can be extracted from tf2_misc_dir.vpk (it's in the scripts folder and called tf_weapon_scattergun.ctx) then decrypted with CtxConverter/vice. At that point, you can edit it like a text file (change volume or soundlevel) and then put it in tf/custom/whatever/scripts/tf_weapon_scattergun.txt and it'll override the built in one.

man stop shittin up the benchmarks thread

seems okay for an old 14nm++++ laptop

Your cpu and mobo only support pcie 3.0 so you're not going to be getting pcie 4.0 speeds, at best the theoretical maximum for 4 3.0 lanes is below 4 GB/s. As for why it's so considerably lower than that, who knows, could very well be a crap ssd, could be set to 2 lanes, could be some other configuration issue or bottleneck. I would verify both M.2 slots are set to x4 in your BIOS setup if the option exists.

could be a wayland thing, I would try X to see if it's better

Right in the header spec I linked. There are 48 bytes before the value for bumpmap scale, so naturally it will start at byte 48. In the file in your screenshot, the bumpmap scale is set to 1.0. It's not surprising that it's also set to that value in other textures, which was the basis of your question if I understand correctly.

https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Valve_Texture_Format#VTF_header

valve wiki says that the header is 80 bytes (so not 32), and that bytes 48 through 51 are for the bumpmap scale
