A Hit Sound is a sound clip that plays when dealing damage to another player. In addition, a higher-pitched sound is played along with the player's hitsound when a Critical Hit is performed. A "Last Hit Sound" has the same concept as a regular Hit Sound, but plays when dealing enough damage to kill another player.
Hit Sounds and Last Hit Sounds can be activated and customized through the Advanced Options menu.
Custom Hit Sounds
Custom Hit Sounds can be installed by placing a sound file in tf/sounds/ui folder
The custom Hit Sound must be in .wav format in order for it to work properly. You can create your own Hit Sounds by converting a sound to .wav format.
Custom Hit Sounds can also be downloaded from various internet sites.
Uninstalling a custom Hit Sound can be done by deleting the .wav file from the tf/sounds/ui folder. The default Hit Sound will be automatically enabled after deleting the .wav Hit Sound file.
