[REQ] Can you make new cvar? [Hide Hud and DHud - O / R]

[lafyn9]

Like hud_saytext 0, hide chat messages

Take a look at this and it's all over the place, if 640x480 or weak computer, this is very prevents and reduces fps And that's not the worst slowhack server and this is not DHud messages

+1

[sweetru]

+1 "hud_draw" hides everything from the screen, but it is not convenient for a normal game, and is convenient only when creating a video.

[LaurentiuAndrei]

+1, good idea.

Get a ride of your "pseudo" pro gamer resolution. I don't think anyone has performance issues to play a game from 1999 in at least 1280x900 :/

Also this is forced by the game server you are playing on. It's horrible administrated so probably contact the server administration.

@leon291: -1, bad idea

[ghost]

@dolohow What is a bad idea? To raise the resolution although you are running it at full hd? The only thing you can do is to leave such servers, so probably the server owner will do something.

[dolohow]

I play on 1024x768 I don't want to remove this resolution

[ghost]

Well 1024x768 doubles your resolution(pixels) compared to 640x480 :p Actually I'm just complaining about the guys who requesting things based on such a low resolution. An IPhone4 has more pixels.

It's like, you want to play on 640x480? Deal with it! There is no reason to play on an 20 years old crt. o.O There are other issues that should be fixed, no offense :)

[lafyn9]

leon291, I have many friends which play 640x480 with Core i7 is everyone's business.

[ghost]

So, why 640x480? I assume because of the hitboxes which are 'bigger' on low resolutions (as stated by many 'pro' gamers). A (real) pro gamer will hit the head also on higher resolutions easily.

I don't see any other reason why people still playing with such a low resolution. So If you wanna play on 640x480 then you have to deal with it. There are really much more important things to be changed/fixed/added to the game. Regardless of the resolution.

ALSO: What do you mean by slowhack server? Slowhack means changing/adding/removing files on client side regardless of it "read only" state. In most cases you have to use a modded mp.dll, which is at least to my known from non-steam server.

[dolohow]

@leon291 look like you know shit about cs

[ghost]

Well, explain it please. Why people running it on 640x480? Don't say they don't have that good stuff to play on higher resolutions :)

[lafyn9]

leon291, just turn on your brains

[ghost]

Don't feel offended, there is no reason to insult and I just have one brain. I would do more, I would remove 640x480 o.O

[dolohow]

That's why you're not developer. I play on 1024x768 because I wanna see avatars from steam, I prefer 800x600 if thats a case. You said everything is bigger on smaller resolution. On further question please ask yourself.

[ghost]

Why I'm not a developer? o.O Because I wouldn't support 640x480 anymore? I didn't said everything is bigger.

So, is it because of hitboxes, or not?

[dolohow]

Yes, you did: "I assume because of the hitboxes which are 'bigger' on low resolutions (as stated by many 'pro' gamers). "

Because developer is for users, not for himself

[ghost]

What's about "(as stated by many 'pro' gamers)" ??? Also hitboxes are not everything ^^

I don't get an answer if it is because of the hitboxes. I guess it is. If a head takes 2% of the screen then it takes 2% for all resolutions regardless of the used pixels. That's why I wrote 'bigger' with '. Well I'll give up with you guys and your 640x480 resolutions.

[johndrinkwater]

Let’s not argue about the benefits or not of small resolutions :) There’s another bug, #381 requesting a hud scale cvar, maybe this would be more useful to some.
