resolutions lower than 1280x720 will conflict with skial.com logo, at least on the default HUD
The placement is a problem for anyone using Garmenhud. The chat is located in the bottom left hand corner, so if someone has a long name, you can't read what they say. This is problematic for a moderator because I have no idea if that guy just used racism, typed !votemenu, or told his guards to kill all Reds. By the time the chat would scroll up, all of Red would be dead and people would be asking why I hadn't stopped him
Any HUD that has objects in the bottom left will cause conflict issues on smaller resolutions like 1280x960, or 4:3 ratio screens.
You are clearly unable to read.
I would suggest in going to school and learning how; it's an important and basic skill.
edit, also seriously? You are advocating deleting chat entirely, to stop a merge conflict with text that can be easily moved?
are you really that shitty with huds that you think deleting basechat.res will delete chat?
haha wow
Every server community in the history of the universe has done it. It's a mild inconvenience but it's just that...mildly inconvenient. Every time a video is made by a popular youtuber, or a screenshot posted on reddit..or any of the other multitude of ways people share tf2 related shit, and they see the community name in the bottom..it's free advertisement.
No reason to remove it.
No reason to remove it.
I meant basechat.res entirely. Forgive me for resorting to shorthand.
That may conflict with the HUD, though.
:facepalm:
Anything in that area will cause a merge conflict. Whether it's chat, player icon, health, or whatever.
The bottom area of the screen is much more useful than the top. Very few things go in the top right.
The whole suggestion is just to simply move the text or make it so it doesn't appear for loyal players.
The makers of Garm3nhud, and other custom huds are not going to change their huds because a specific set of servers has a logo that conflicts. Just play somewhere else, then. We should not force people to modify their huds simply because there's a necessity for skial.com to appear 24/7, in areas that are better used for displaying actual info.
This has got to be one of the easiest fixes that's been suggested in a long while, if only the most basic version is implemented.
All that needs to be changed is the x and y coordinates. It doesn't have to be removed entirely. Optionally, it can also be made where donators / people with high AP don't see it either.
640x480 and the watermark isnt covering chat so I dont know why you said 4:3 resolutions have chat covered by it
It was a simple extrapolation. 1280x960 bugs with it, and so do the 2 resolutions below it, IIRC.
Also, who the hell still plays in 640x480. My iPhone isn't too far from that.
dHUD doesn't have a 3d model. Other huds do, though.
Zebra and Avenger. 1280x960 is a pretty common resolution on cheap or old laptops. That, or 1336x768 <-- ~approx, I can never remember the exact numbers.
It's only been more recently that 16:9 was adopted.
Should I make a thread that is just this and doesn't involve aspect ratios and HUDs
Its not like i picked 1280x960, i just never looked to see what it was. I never checked to see what it was i just never change any of my settings.
