i thought with the 20 year tourney coming up there may be demand for a retro-styled 1.41 build.

it's really nothing special, just the plasmatic stock build with fixes/tweaks/updates and wrapped in an installer. the installer automagically installs the win 8/10 pluginfix and the DPI fix

edit: minor update v2 added hitsounds and better repkit icon

[size=+2]gruvs notes:[/size]
i dont have much free time lately so this is mostly untested but i don't know what could go wrong. i kept meaning to get around to adding an option for better skies, if anyone wants to make up a pack of skies that would be great. any and all feedback is appreciated and if i have time i will make an updated version with whatever people like

as with all my configs, it's meant to be a base in which you add your own preferences to - no pre-made config is going to be perfect for everyone and the intention is that you customize it further to your liking

[size=+2]Thanks[/size]
big thanks to Lyon, opsayo, stork and damaster for help with suggestions, scripts and testing

bump minor update v2

added the hit.ogg hitsound (some servers support hitsounds!). it's a little thing but if you dont have it and other ppl do that's not cool

and changed the itemhud to have a better repkit icon and show grenade dots

idk why but i guess the itemhud only showed whether u had a repkit and used the same dot that the reticle used which was kinda confusing
