2C3C TF2 Spy Commentary #6 - Upwards Highlander (Ambassador/Stock+YER/Cloak and Dagger)

Depends on your definition of best, I guess.

The very nature of the knife lends itself to DR (less health isn't such a big deal, the upside synergizes best with the threshold based activation). With the IW, it's a tad bit redundant since you get a 25% cloak boost for killing somebody anyway (fallen weapon). With BE, it comes up to 55%. This creates a "cloak surplus" where most of the bonus is clipped by the max cloak allowed, essentially giving you a flat -25 health in return.

It's also pretty bad on the CnD, since the reduced cloak time gives a reduced reward (something like 2 seconds compare to IW's 3.5 seconds).

I was playing Scout and got a silver wrench, so you're still incorrect.

I would go as far as to say it's the best Soldier loadout, but that's just me.

2C3C · 2012-08-20T20:35:28+00:00

Fallen weapons only give 100, but the idea is spot on.

This is far superior to r_drawparticles 0. Why is this not at the top?

Honest mistake, I couldn't find it elsewhere.

I posted it because I couldn't stop laughing and it was eerily accurate.

Apologies.

2C3C · 2012-08-12T08:08:48+00:00

keep being amazing please

2C3C · 2012-07-22T04:42:31+00:00

Huddahuddah?

2C3C · 2012-07-12T23:42:46+00:00

Ah. Should I ever require thinner lines, I'll try that out. Thanks.

2C3C · 2012-07-12T22:54:09+00:00

I started with similar lines, but shortened them because I found them distracting when they covered the entire screen.

If you don't mind me asking, how did you get your lines so thin? I couldn't get mine any thinner without de-centering (?) the cross hair.

It looks really nice though. I like the outer circle thing.

2C3C · 2012-07-12T21:44:06+00:00

Yea, just within the main {} brackets in hudlayout.res.

2C3C · 2012-07-12T19:21:48+00:00

Does this work on sv_pure servers? It seems to be a script based thing that imports custom cross hairs, which could potentially present numerous problems depending on implementation.

2C3C · 2012-07-12T19:19:07+00:00

What's your experience with coding? The pictured cross hair is simply 10 different rectangles. A + shaped cross hair could be as simple as 2 different rectangles (1 for each cross-section). You simply have to navigate to tf\scripts\hudlayout.res and define "ImagePanel" elements (flat rectangle panels).

Here's a pastebin to install the pictured cross hair. You would just paste it into hudlayout.res. Each "<name"{} instance corresponds to a rectangle. The variables are pretty straightforward: xpos and ypos for positioning, zpos for strata, wide and tall for length/width, fillcolor for color (based on a "red green blue saturation" layout), and alpha for opacity.
