[TF2] Sniper scope is also blurry at low quality texture settings

[Ashetf2]

June 21 Patch fixed this:

Fixed some HUD images being blurry when using low texture settings

However, this is also the case with the Sniper Rifle's scope texture, as you can see here Source: https://gamebanana.com/mods/388222 . All credits to fellen

This can be fixed by the same way as with the HUD images

@kisak-valve This should be able to be resolved by using mat_picmip -10 which is now possible again. That command bypasses the LOD clamping on VTFs that have their LODs clamped.

This is also technically a duplicate of a ticket I submitted; #3981, specifically the strikethrough'd bit at the top about removing LOD clamping from VTFs. The mat_picmip change fixed that. The difference between tickets is this one focuses on one specific VTF, whereas mine was for all VTFs.

Edit: Just had the thought occur; does mat_picmip -10 even affect VTFs for things like effects/HUD/VGUI textures? I'm kind of just assuming it does.

@TF2CutContentWiki For reference, HUD&VGUI textures are impacted by mat_picmip values - historically this has been fixed before, most recently as I recall in this update (note the modifications to leaderboard_class vtfs), suggesting that Valve does view this as a bug.

In this particular vtf, though, it is already rendered at highest resolution with mat_picmip -1; the fix is merely intended to provide visual parity between higher mat_picmip values.

@TF2CutContentWiki this doesn't relate to that issue. It fixes HUD elements being affected by the Texture Quality setting, which Valve has already fixed a bunch of times before.

Some other hud elements that also use the wrong flags: materials/vgui/glyph_collapse materials/vgui/glyph_expand materials/vgui/hud_connecting materials/vgui/hud_class_not_chosen ico_powerup_building_instant_red ico_powerup_critboost_red ico_powerup_recall_red ico_powerup_refill_ammo_red ico_powerup_ubercharge_red
