Which huds and hit sounds do you recommend? Mainly for comp, but public play too.

broeselhud, q3 hitsound.

Quoted from Sketch

custom hitsounds are unreliable

they aren’t if you preload them properly and don’t join through friends without launching the game first.

q3 hitsound or die.

Quoted from Morphine

preload? sorry to hijack but I would like to know what makes hitsounds work :>

put the following in your autoexec (this is specifically for my quake sound, change filename accordingly)

tf_dingalingaling "1"
tf_dingaling_pitchmaxdmg "140"
tf_dingaling_pitchmindmg "80"
tf_dingaling_volume "0.65"
tf_dingaling_wav_override "quake.wav"
play "quake.wav"

the play command specifically preloads it prior to gameplay by, as it says on the tin, playing it.

+play yourhitsound.wav in your launch options and it never fails

It has the same effect. Both commands in the launch options and those in the autoexec are executed at the same point.

off topic from the actually thread but, and cheers for the replies. in umpteen frag videos the sticky bombs have trails (team coloured), any idea where to get those from. Also, skyboxes. Is there any good ones out there? (most maps)

And yeah broeselhud is the way to go (all the usless a.k.a. “lets put it there to make screen less visible” stuff removed)

GMANG HUD + Q3 HITSOUNDS FTW!!!
