New Knife Info

@MikeJ, 200% of the screen? Yes, you are a smart one huh? Any resolution will take up 100% of the screen no matter what it is, as long as you use fullscreen. If that was a joke, it was a very poor one. Also, you don't need to lie... you know you play at 1024x768 and your desktop is 1024x768 on your 15'' monitor.



My desktop resolution is 1600x1200, my game resolution is 1600x1200, i don't need to scale it. Take a look at my CS 1.5 and CS 1.6 screenshots, side by side. You gotta be blind if you don't see the difference in text sizes (i'm starting to think you wear glasses, at the very least).



@orphy, or maybe not. lets see some screens. the only way you would get the same is if you're computer was 2Ghz+, 512MB+ DDR RAM, ATI Radeon 9700 Pro, etc. (basically, overkill for CS)

I have a 19 inch monitor. I use 1024x768 in desktop, i don't know what kind of monitor you have but for me 1600x1200 is just ass to look at because of the refresh rate. Anything under 85hz and i can't stand the flickering.



And i even went to the trouble of setting my desktop to 1600x1200 then looking at your two pics and the CS 1.6 font size looks fine. That's pretty much the size of text in CS 1.5 at 800x600, which is the rez everyone plays at because it's superiour as far as hitbox alignment and crosshair size. You're just use to amazingly small font.



as for the 200% of the screen comment i didn't think anyone actually used 1600x1200 for their desktop resolution. And it's damn near 200% at 1024x768.

Doesn't quite fit in imo.



The anims are quite bad as well.

Sony G520P 21'' - 1600x1200, it looks about the same (judging by icon size) as it would on a 15'' @ 1024x768 or 17'' @ 1280x1024.



Since i'm the one playing CS in 1600x1200, I guess I know best for the text size I like to play with. 800x600 is only still used because a majority of people are playing on old hardware. It's pretty outdated when todays monitors, videocards, (and 3D computer games) can handle up to 2048x1536.



I hope you're joking about the hitbox alignment & crosshair size since that's a complete myth that playing at a lower resolution gives you any type of advantage when it comes to hitboxes and crosshair size. The 3D world is proportioned the same in regards to the player's actual size and the size of objects around him in all resolutions.

I play much better at 800x600 (hey all the pros use it must be good right), this i have tested many times. I just don't perform as well at 1024x768. And the crosshair is smaller at higher resolutions on my monitor, i can't speak for everyone.



I more than likely have a better computer then anyone on these forums, but it doesn't mean i need to be playing at max rez with 4x4FSAA and 16xAF.



we are off topic here though, the fact of the matter is many people have been complaining about the impossible to read text sized at higher resolutions, and valve fixed it. Even you didn't like the 1.5 font, you downloaded the largest custom font size available. The *slightly* bigger 1600x1200 font (compared to normal 800x600) will take a couple weeks to get use to just like every single update to CS does, but in the end you'll forget it was ever different.

Er, you just quoted me quoting someone else, not me myself..... Me thinks you got a) the wrong end of the stick and b) the wrong person.

Wow was that confusing for 3:30......

Yea, I realized that just before I read what you said cause I'm an idiot. That's what I get for early morning posting.

I get maybe 95 FPS on Aztec with no weather affects. I noticed it will drop lower than Aztec on 1.5, so yea. I have a 1.7GHZ, 512MB RAM, ATI Radeon 9000 Pro if you're wondering.

YOU GLOATED! since you gloated mr. rich guy about your fancy mr. rich person computer i think you should buy me a mother-board and pentium 4. I can barely handle 800x600... thats with sucky fps! (hey you gotta make alot of money your well known) im sure helping a poor kid out won't hurt you bufget too much

amen. at least you can use a custom model if you don't like it, though I would still like to see the old knife model in 1.6.



As for the VGUI2 text, all that's needed is one simple command to adjust the size and/or not use VGUI2 to display the text.

w00t w00t I FOUND A GLITCH!!!!



weeeee i feel so special!!



If you look..the riot sheild knife has NOT been changed!!

[TwilightKn1ght]

Actually, Majin Goose(spelled correctly?) pointed that out in a different thread. Sorry to steal your thunder ;]. Oh, and yeah...the knife....it looks more like it belongs in unreal 2 than in CS. Yes, it is a real knife, but still....

[yurdogg]

my god. that knife looks terrible!

i like the old one better

there is just something fucked up with that one.

[CmdrFlesh]

*lol* Gameshot911 you're about the 3rd who reports that

[3a5tw00D]

then u slience your usp and pickup the shield again, your gun is magically un-silenced.

[Black Mage]
