My Personal TF2 Config

We all know how bad the TF2 default settings are, but what bothered me the most was that I always had to redo all my settings and mods. So I finally came up with a great way to manage mods.

Git is awesome when programming for version control. So i thought why not use it for managing mods? We’ve all had that moment where you screw something up and don’t know how to fix it because its lost in a sea of files and random changes. Not anymore. Anyone who has used git before knows it's very easy to always roll back.

Visuals

For the visuals, I always get super distracted and the longest time I’ve been playing with low res textures for the best visual clarity, but the game looks quite bad with them. I found this cool mod that gives you Flat Textures, and you can keep the texture resolution on high. So now the characters and weapons look crisp and detailed, but the game still looks very simple and readable.

Animations

When you compare TF2’s animations to any modern game, you can feel how outdated the game is. But thanks to the community in general and Kylul (whose animations I ended up using the most), the game gets to shine in a new light with animations that are not stiff anymore and have some follow through. I absolutely love the reanimated first person animations. And thanks to preloading, I’m able to enjoy the animations even when queuing for casual.

The Config

Now let’s talk about the meat. Like most people, I don’t know every command in TF2, so when I started I used cfg.tf to get a jumping off point with roughly the settings I would like. I then had to tweak some because I play on Linux and some settings made my game crash every time I loaded into a new map. But thanks to Git, I was able to keep track of all the changes and roll back when needed. Once I finished setting everything via commands, I never have to look at those god awful settings pages again. When I redo my computer and reinstall the game, I can just drop the config into my custom folder and I’m ready with all my perfect settings.

Extra Binds

Team Fortress 2 is a hectic game where you constantly need to react and pull off multiple things at once, so I’ve set up a handful of small binds that let me do a lot more in one keypress.

Quick loadout switch

To quickly switch loadouts, use F5, F6, F7, and F8 to select Loadouts 1–4.

Viewmodel toggle

You can hide viewmodels that are marked to be hidden via the T button. In the scout.cfg you can see which weapons are marked to be hidden. If you press T again, it will disable the hidden viewmodel script.

Engineer Binds

When playing Engineer, a lot of time is spent babysitting your buildings, so I want to avoid needless menuing. I’ve set up:

• sentry (mouse3): destroys any existing sentry and builds a new one.
• dispenser (mouse4): does the same for the dispenser.
• teleport_entrance (7) and teleport_exit (mouse5): handle the teleporter ends. (I wanted teleport_entrance to be away from most buttons so I don’t fat finger it and destroy it. It happened many times.)

That way I can rebuild or destroy buildings fast without using the menu. I also unbound the pda because I didn’t want to open it on accident in the middle of a fight, and it’s also now useless to open because of the binds.

Medic Binds

The Medic has a cool double bind on the mouse buttons that I toggle with Y. Medic can play very differently depending on what medigun I’m running, so I wanted a quick way to swap between two complete sets of mouse binds.

When I press Y, the mouse switches to Vaccinator settings that way one mouse button corresponds to one resistance, so you don’t overshoot the resistance you want to toggle and you don’t need to look at the HUD to know you’ve got the right one. When I press Y again, it toggles back to the default mouse bindings so you can use them in, for example, MvM.

//medic settings

exec binds
bind "1" "slot1;viewmoddelstate"
bind "2" "slot2;viewmoddelstate_flipped"
bind "3" "slot3;viewmoddelstate_flipped"

bind "mouse5" +attack3
bind "mouse3" +use_action_slot_item
bind "mouse4" +reload

alias defaultmedicsettings "bind mouse5 +attack3; bind mouse3 +use_action_slot_item; bind mouse4 +reload"
alias vacinatorsettings "exec vaccinator.cfg"

// Double bind medic mouse

alias medicvac medicvac_defaultbind
alias medicvac_defaultbind "defaultmedicsettings; alias medicvac medicvac_vacinatorbinds;echo Medic default mouse settings loaded"
alias medicvac_vacinatorbinds "vacinatorsettings; alias medicvac medicvac_defaultbind;echo vacinator binds loaded"
medicvac_defaultbind

bind y medicvac

echo "medic has a double bind on the mouse press y to toggle btweeen them!"

Mute button

Now one of my favorite settings: the mute button. When I press B, everything gets muted text, voice, and even the stickers, for example the Conscientious Objector (we all know what TF2 players put on those…). So this button disables all of these things in one click and when i press it again it all comes back!

Demos

The game records every match, but that’s a lot of demos. I recommend Demoman for sorting through all the demo files it’s a nice GUI and you can see bookmarks to quickly jump to the clip.

Demo bookmark key

When you press I, you can bookmark a moment in the demo recording, so you can find it super easily when looking through all the demo files.
