TF2 Huntsman Hitbox Test Update (HD)

Some people raised some questions and concerns about the original video. They mentioned how the arrows don't fly straight up close because they originate off center and how I was charging the arrows too long and only fired to the left of the targets. So here's a new video done from a demo file. It shows the arrows being 100% accurate at the test range. They're all fired soon after being fully charged at both sides of the targets. I also show the shots in slomo so you can see the path of the arrow and how it doesn't match up with the point of impact.

is it still like this? or is it fixed?

[madhaha]

@Mikzuu94 It's not really something you can fix without changing the fundamental way the game works. You could tweak it but I think Valve are more concerned about hats at the moment.

what do you use for recording in game?

[madhaha]

I use x-fire. I'm not a huge fan of it but it's free, easy to setup, works with most games, timestamps the filenames and allows you to upload it easily to the x-fire site. Just make sure you enable sound recording.

I take the file and I compress it with DivX using VirtualDub, both of which are also free although the Pro version of DivX was only free as a one day offer. The free version still does a fine job.

Not bad. It would be great if you used a better cross hair for the video, though. That small white one was hard to see.

[madhaha]

Sorry. It's the one I use in game for accurate aiming and I thought a larger one would make it harder to see exactly where the shot landed.

How to fix the huntsman

1. Increase velocity of projectile to be 2-3 times faster

2. change the hitbox to a special huntsman hitbox where the hit box is more trim.

@dimitry246 turn cheats on, then type bot repeatedly. (if you are the admin) or... don't turn cheats on and type tf_add_bot (number) if you want them to try to kill you.

[smurfton94]

This happens with all projectile weapons (rocket launchers grenade launchers huntsman...) due to the fact that all classes have one very large hit box that registers hits from projectile weapons and several small weapons that registers hits from hitscan weapons (anything that uses bullets)

[vanbanana3]

I thought it was because the aim is off. the circle not centered.

[hlpbgh]

Goddamn lucksman.

[modeadsex123]

This happens because all projectile weapons (non-bullet) are able to come into contact with a large hitbox that surrounds all characters. This means that a near miss still constitutes a hit.

[dimitry246]

ok, first off i have some really noob questions, so please don't mind.

Whats the name of the map, and how do you get so many bots, and if you dont know that can you give me the ip of this server in the video, looks really interesting.
