Scoped sniper dot removal?

[Eden]

Hey guys, I main sniper on TF2, and that pesky little dot that grows larger as you charge when scoped has really gotten on my nerve, I just want to know if there is a way to remove it?

I have found multiple "mini mods" on ga,ebannana that removes it, but they are mods that don't work when playing on valve servers or jsut servers with sv_pure, I want to know if there is a way to remove it on official servers. Is there some file or sprite for the dot that I can delete or something? I just want some way to get rid of it permanently. So long as it doesn't completely mess up my TF2, I'm probably fine with messing around with files.

Nope, you can't.

u cant

[Eden]

Damn, I was hoping that I could somehow get rid of it on all servers because it is damn annoying, it makes me think I'm gonna get a headshot because the dot is over them. Then I miss. I guess I'll have to deal with it.

Oh, I never knew that, I guess that means the only way to get rid of it really will be to just get a "mini-mod".
Unless you can get a skin for the sniper rifle that removes it?

Damn. Oh well, I'll just have to live with it, but thanks anyway for letting me know about this.

Itt’s to alert the enemy of your presence.

[Edegen]

It's supposed to be a subtle downside, where enemy players can see the dot and immediately know there's a sniper there.

I'm not talking about the dot that other players can see, I completely understand why that was put in, I am talking about the one that appears on your screen and grows bigger when you're scoped, this dot is a problem to me as it is much bigger than the area the bullet will hit and sometimes the dot will be slightly over someones head but the shot won't actually hit them because of this.

It’s the same thing. It’s like if you wanted to remove a wall from a map even ifit’s still there

The dot that grows bigger on the snipers side is much larger than the one that other players see and there are "mini-mods" that get rid of it on the snipers side, those mods don't remove it on the other players screens, so I don't think it is the same thing, but I could be wrong.

Not only does this not work on Casual/Comp servers, and any servers running SV_Pure 1, read the date next time.
